What do you guys think of the new format? I’m thinking of revisiting some old Basics recipes, both to try out the new style, and because the techniques have changed so much in the past 6 years.

[MaxLedom]

Maybe should be its whole own series! Babish: Revisted. For this calming aesthetic where you re-do recipes from your past with your new skills and techniques. Then you could still have the best of both world with traditional Basics and Binging. Because I do love your upbeat energy in all your videos.

I do like this format. But I also like the more chaotic format when I see you showing stuff going wrong or you are just really animated when you are cooking. I think both formats are worth keeping in the future depending on how you are feeling in each individual video

[SegmentW]

The change to kitchen audio is nice but honestly I'd rather it be an occasional thing and not have to choose one format over the other.

I enjoy them both and appreciate the variety the editors and Andy try to introduce to keep things feeling fresh.

[Jnssent]

I really like your voiceovers normally. They are always funny and perfectly executed, definitely set you apart from other cooking content

[Risca]

I like the old voiceover but the kitchen sound’s definitely add something to the video! Love the balance, the sounds don’t overpower or take away from the experience!

[Ardokaath]

This calmer format combined with the natural kitchen sounds instantly made me relax. However, I wouldn't want to miss the more chaotic and wild episodes either!

[MrMaccaMcdonald]

Eggs Benedict is the ultimate sometimes breakfast

[CookinWithBiscuits]

I love that, with multiple books, 10 million subscribers and so many accomplishments, Andrew still gets excited at something so simple as an unbroken and well seasoned hollandaise. Hasn't lost his love for the simple things. I respect that so much. Thanks, Babish!

[quazillionaire]

It's not bad by any means. I think there's room for this sort of video and I'd be happy to see more of it, especially as you fine tune it, but I personally wouldn't want this style to replace the regular one. Your upbeat, snappy, witty delivery is a big part of the enjoyment of your content for me. I feel like I could put this on loop before bed to help me fall asleep, particularly with that mellow background music.

[globis]

This format sounds like you're in an old friend's kitchen, watching them prepare some delicious breakfast. It feels like a safe space. I genuinely felt peaceful when watching this

[winey]

Love the natural sounds of the kitchen and food being prepared.

[bimmertwenty]

I'll say the "rough around the edges" Babish is a lot of what always made your show so enjoyable and relatable.

[quartercupofsugar]

The live audio was way more relaxing than I thought it would be, and actually calmed me down from a really rough day. I hope we can see more content like this in the future- it was really lovely!

[sticklegend]

Honestly, this updated format is absolutely gorgeous. The whole thing is as informative as your videos always are, but this time with added calmness that makes the video extremely relaxing to watch. I figure it's the change in bgm as well as the addition of regular prep and cooking sounds. 100% happy to see more Basics structured like this.

[myhatisoff]

This new format is an absolute breath of fresh air! The slower pace and natural kitchen ambience somehow makes everything feel a bit more genuine and really adds an air of authenticity that often feels missing from the internet these days.

[steprockmedia]

I think OTHER shows do that "comforting and chill" thing. We sub to you because it's high energy, entertaining, and informative.

[ryno]

This was like a meditation. It was incredibly calming. I paid much my attention to the details and was a very pleasant experience overall

[kelseyxkupcakex]

I don’t usually comment on YT videos, but I REALLY liked this format. It was calm, not rushed-feeling, a little ASMR as well and more personable. I would love to see more videos like this.

[YourFavTessa]

This new format is lovely - perfect balance of the cooking sounds from the kitchen, and the calming voice over. I just got home from work, and I wasn't expecting it - it was a great treat! I would love to see more episodes like this
