Binging with Babish: Imaginary Pie from Hook

#StayAtHome
The Neverland feast from Hook holds a special place in all our hearts, memories, and "You're a 90s Kid If..." lists on Buzzfeed. I've been resisting making the neon-colored pies, despite their being hotly requested, for some time - namely because I think they're just pie shells filled with whipped cream. But this week, more than most weeks, we're using our imaginations!

Music: "XXV" by Broke for Free

My playlist of preferred cooking tunes, Bangers with Babish!

finally, a recipe with ingredients grocery stores are still stocking

This man’s commitment to entertainment knows no bounds.

[haydensupple]

This man actually just rolled out imaginary dough for enough time to time lapse it. What a legend.

I'm Thomas Tulak. I played the youngest Lost Boy in Hook. I was the one that said, "you're doing it, Peter." and "Goodnight Neverland!" ... Some one sent this to me, saying it made them think of me. I watched this, not knowing what to expect. I really enjoyed this. I was totally ticked by the imaginary pie! Bangarang! ...I'm going to share this with a few people who will appreciate it... You're definitely doing it, Babish!

I can't believe i watched a man make an imaginary pie for 6 minutes and acted as if nothing was wrong.

[kilimenjiro]

"He's not gonna take the joke through the whole recipe is he?"
...
"Oh damn he is, never mind."

[cosmickoffee]

"Yes I know this looks suspiciously like whipped cream..."

*I know what's happening but I still feel like I'm losing my mind*

[MsNarusakufan]

The crazy thing is, I've seen the ingredients so many times that after Babish said them, my brain inserted images of it into the video. The imagination and power of the brain is *CRAAAAZY*

[kaineem.]

As someone who normally has these videos playing as background noise, only occasionally glancing at the screen, you can imagine my surprise when I finally looked at the screen.

[racergirl]

I literally just watched this man bake an imaginary pie with imaginary ingredients for 6 minutes and I genuinely enjoyed every moment. What a legend

[breadedlemon]

"He is a man of commitment and sheer will"

[spongebobsquarepants]

I'm gonna show my dad the part where he was pretend to bake, and when he gets confused and asks why theres are no ingredients I'm just gonna say what do you mean.

[BlueBerryCharmzz]

Day 15 of quarantine: Babish has finally lost it.

[noblecherry]

This man really had me watch him pantomime a cheesecake for 6 minutes, and at no point did I question it.

[tatatory]

Imagine saying “you’ve got to watch Binging w Babish” and this is the first episode they watch

[meliodicstar]

Finally, something that my invisible money can afford

[griffinbatcheller]

I like to imagine Babish does this for every episode for “practice”

[matchington]

When you can’t get any groceries because the stores are out but you really want to bake

6:21 oh an ad midroll
"After the commercial break"
Video: doesn't show ad
Me: ok then keep your secrets

[movi_m_]

The fact that he's using his imagination to make the imaginary pie, imaginary, is pure dedication.
