Binging with Babish: Cheeseburger from The Menu

The whole point of the movie

@Joshua Chesney but the fine dining was a pre-planned event....regular buns coulda been on the island.

in Andrews defence, the more homemade burger looks absolutely amazing

​@very cool though* There's a "ugh" in there. Use them.

As Ordinary Sausage said "There's no such thing as a gourmet burger!"

We must learn from Tyler

@vit An unessential item for the home chef.

Picasso of fine dining

NO

Hey I appreciate it man

Only way onions should be eaten on a cheeseburger.

It like Ratatouille but minus the complex making of the classic food for the "food critic"...

@non ey was

Did anyone else see his hand bleeding?

I bet his kitchen is thrashed after these videos

@Tobias Vilain Newman I haven't seen the movie yet, but this sounds incredibly appropriate!

No. He deserves a singular clap, like in the movie.

@Alex Grimm ✋🍔🤚 you got me

How’d you type this?

@Mark ThompsonA lot of people do

@8bitGutPunch Yes I have met hot dog a fine fellow

“that’s the point of the movie 🤓”

that’s the point of the movie 🤓

that’s the point of the movie 🤓

​@Gustavo Wadas Lopesnahh 💀💀

That sort of being the point.

i think american cheese is disgusting EXCEPT on burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches. In those 2 situations its the optimal choice. A greasy burger without american cheese is a travesty.

😢

@Don't Read My Profile Picture I did it anyway.

@ItsYourBoyReckster Ingredients: Babish Culinary Universe Staff, Home Studio, BRvid Channel

@Solgaleo35 Yeah, both courses involve the death of a person, or persons in the case of the s'mores, highly recommend the movie though, it's hilarious. They call it a horror comedy, but they lean heavily into the comedy, absurdist and black, and barely any horror (beyond the premise, that people will get hurt).

@John Bones Just use a standard 20" circumference...the chocolate will gently melt to the head for a custom fit.

Best movie of the decade hands down

otimo

👍

very nice

Funtastic

they quite literally are crinkle cut in the movie.

@leafchaser09 Like I mentioned Here he has equipment, crew and ingredients. I just think he's too lazy to build his channel since he has all this now... He threw away previous work because 10 mil isn't anything small. Especially with cooking channel

@Do the flip i definitely feel like alvin’s putting a lot more work here than into his own channel which kind of doesn’t make sense to me. i don’t know how to put it but just like killbot said, lots of us came here for BABISH, not alvin

@X9Killbot Yeppers, I mean Alvin can stay sure. But i kinda feel like he's leeching off of Andrew to get out of buzzfeed. I'm certainly not interested in "Anime with Alvin" After all Andrew has already 9.99mil sub as of this comment. I feel like Alvin could have his own cooking channel but HE DOESN'T WANT TO since he has "Babish" and all his equipment and crew. Andrew worked HARD for YEARS for what he has now. Alvin went in an had everything ready and now everyone loves him. But that's just imo

@Do the flip Yeah. I came here because I liked Babish, his voice, his commentary, and his technique. Alvin just doesn't have it for me. It's like when King of Random got his co-host. I just didn't like the new guy's stuff.

@X9Killbot I mean I feel like Alvin is fifth wheel to all of this. After all Babish made things from anime before Alvin came into picture so I don't see point of having "Anime with Alvin"

Gonna do it from now on!

ok

It’s like a snake 😂

There are no substitutes at The Hawthorn

order a cheeseburger, it might save your life

Stop giving this bot likes 🙄

@masterimbecile i want to get the s'more for apetizers

bot

Oo I would definitely watch that

@Johan S he has his own channel Andrew's the one who got him in to the crew.

@Nick ThaTrick same man, it seems like everyone is restructuring their channels and content, sad but we have to move on

@loserbrandon My bad, it appears I've heavily misjudged the original comment's point. Initially thought they were referring to how 'less of Babish' has contributed to decrease in view count, appears I was wrong

@gouda cheese I wrote an argument but it deleted, but I'll just summarize my points. I think it's just BRvid's cycle. Babish's views have been declining even before the universe (if we point Alvin as the beginning). It's also important to note that alvin's videos performing poorly is more of a hit or miss, and we can see this because it happens typically when he's making more unknown food. Koufuku Grafitti and Asteroid in Love are niche at best and generally unknown to even the most well-versed anime fan. It's a no-brainer that they would garner less views. I don't disagree that the other videos are performing poorly, probably due to the exclusion of Babish, but I personally don't see Alvin as an issue (which was my main point, I don't think Alvin is at fault for the degradation of views). I personally like Alvin's videos, and while I think that Babish would probably get more views if he did the food himself, I don't think that it's actively detrimental considering the workload involved, if he were to do everything.

@Jack1994hoo I went with friends and just said I wasn't hungry. Still paid my part for the meal so I kinda regretted watching that movie before eating.

​@Tang Stephen so... What did you do at the restaurant if you didn't eat?

@Matt & Arya well, you have to excuse me for thinking "the menu" was referring to the actual menu in the movie XD Thanks.

@Chocolate Disco It seems obvious but haven't bothered seeing the movie. Can we get a QRD?

​@Chocolate Disco ok

@Wod theHunter I completely understood the movie but it was incredibly lackluster. Not the funniest comedy, and the gimmick wasn't used very creatively for the most part. Very underwhelming

Tow4_subaccount no, but I can report you for spam.

Let’s not get into a comment war please-

@Dre "I give Tim Pool Massive Wedgies" Flem i get that

@Dre "I give Tim Pool Massive Wedgies" Flem Its black comedy. It's meant to be funny. It doesn't mean it can't be tense too.

@Google made me do it they're talking about a sense of play and fun in the craft, not sense of humour. Obviously if you don't enjoy cooking then this stuff isn't for you, this is for people that love to immerse themselves in experimentation and trying to create the best food they can. This isn't the same as why the weird abstract art pieces they called food were so joyless to make in the movie at all. The point of the movie isn't that elaborate cooking is bad. It's that cooking that pursues art over genuine satisfaction for shallow wealthy people that just want to throw money at novel experiences to say they did it, is soul destroying. Money and power is the issue here, and those it's corrupted that use those around them to feed their own whimsical egos.

Exactly! When Margot makes it behind the silver door, she sees an old photo of him when he first started cooking. He was cooking a cheeseburger, so that’s probably where she got the idea from. It’s where his passion and love for cooking started.

@SnowEspeon Weird sense of humor, but ok lol

@Google made me do it Show cooking is what Babish used to do super often though, and he went back to that formula for this episode. Whenever he does something simple, he does it the way most people would first and then he overcomplicates it for the giggles. See: the Regular Show grilled cheese sandwich episode. Dude's just having fun and messing around in a kitchen on camera lol, don't worry bout it

@Julian Little Nah, it's exactly what the movie addresses. Pretentious show cooking that has no point other than showing off. Just buy your buns and cheese at the store, mate!

@Google made me do it Yeah. She certainly worked that out better than Nicholas Hoult trying to simp for Slowik.

@Clayton Marnin She was allowed to leave because she played it smart. First, she sent something back to the kitchen. His etiquette forces him to please her, so she orders the burger. Then, she asks if she can take it home, and we all know you can order burgers at the restaurant and take them home. It's a genius poker game on her part and he loved being a part of it. Just this ordinary interaction instead of this stuffy mess he got himself into.

@mastod0n1 Okay, okay the branch is holding *IT'SNOTHOLDING--*

@Mark Tyler I am...forever. I AM IMMORTAL!

Wow, excellent analysis on what the movie both shows and explains clearly to us.

I have a local theater that serves food but it's awful! I feel like seeing that burger on the screen while eating whatever puck they give me would be a miserable experience.

@Dr. Turkey yeah it seems to be doing fine. I haven't been to a movie where the theater was totally full, but they are well staffed, clean and it seems to be picking up. The only thing I've noticed is that the bar in the front area where you used to be able to get a drink before sitting down is never open anymore. All things considered I think this is a pretty decent tradeoff.

Did yours fare well after COVID? It used to be my favorite place to go but their prices increased and they took hotdogs off the menu 😔

That’s like a 5D movie experience

I quite enjoy going to Alamo Drafthouse for their special film menus.

​@Committee of Nations Not too bright are you

I’m kind of embarrassed that it took me a while to realize this show that was referenced in the episode was a horror/thriller/whatever thing and not a wholesome sitcom

Oh you sweet summer child!

@Committee of Nations ironic

​@The Kurdboard Warrior the joke ✈️ Your head Looks like you picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

Let's go to Hawthorne

Jesus loves you he died on the cross for your sins. Believe in him and you will be saved and go to heaven!

I see what you did there 😂

Cringe

@inb4loss no…stop…don’t.

@Chen Stormstout im gonna call the police if u keep acting crazy

@notahotshot ah yes! How could I be so blind sir! I humbly bow out of this contest. *dramatic bow*

@Chen Stormstout By the BTW the way way, there's no need to put "in peace" behind r.i.p. because... You know. Words.
