claire: i think im gonna try one more batch with rice flour cus i want it a tad more tender


me, with 0 professional culinary education: good call

[willb]

if yall add 20 minutes of personal life drama and character development this is an amazing workplace sitcom

[aurieeTV]

The first 5 minutes were more like “Pastry Chef Eats Pocky the First Time” and I love it haha

[HaileyKitty]

Gaby: *gets excited over pocky* “Can I hug you?!”

Claire: “of course!”

The entire BA kitchen is adorable

[yoongiyoonginee]

Chris' character development from tempered chocolate snub to who cares is literally my favourite redemption arc

[sbitar]

i think brad and claire should trade shows for one episode! brad attempts to make gourmet.... while claire goes on location somewhere for 'its alive! claire absolutely deserves a vacation

Claire doesnt age, she simply gains an extra grey hair for every gourmet recreation she successfully creates.

5:47 UH DID SHE JUST WRITE WITH A PIECE OF POCKY

[hail]

did claire seriously just use one of the pocky as a writing tool when measuring? absolute legend

[Mimi-pjxt]

They make Chris out to be such a stickler for perfection,
but hes like "who gives a crap" and that's why hes Claire's favorite.

[emememememememememe]

Claire writing with a Pocky has such chaotic energy I'm dead

[potatobutt]

Claire's gray hair is literally gorgeous

[anthonyzhang]

did she just write with the pocky stick at 5:49? my eyes have been OPENED

[aurodita]

Claire: "I didn't temper the chocolate"
Chris: "Like...who cares"

Really trying to make it up to her for the Pop Rocks, huh, Chris?

[TheeVande]

Claire explaining tempered chocolate is becoming her equivalent of Brad explaining smashed garlic haha

[cheyennechavez]

Gaby is the cutest sweetest human ever “Can I hug you” like yes who would say no?!

[fps]

5:49 I'm sorry Claire did you just WRITE with the Pocky?? I'm dying XD

[Cynthiaaagghh]

The shots of Claire dragging around the gigantic foam board studded with gourmet Pocky...poetic cinema *chef's kiss*

[summerrose]

I love how everyone asked about the grill marks and Claire said no, no one asked. LOL.

[maria.says.hi]

I lost it when Brad said, "Taste the rainbow" and Claire said, "That's not...that's a different one."
