S4E1

Grey Stuff from Beauty and the Beast

Jan 1, 20197m

The 'grey stuff' from Beauty and the Beast has been falsely advertised as some sort of cookies-n-cream abomination, and it's about time we set the record straight. Yes I know that children at Disney World probably don't want to eat chicken liver mousse. Yes I know that it's taking whimsical license with a childhood classic to make it marketable and enjoyable for kids of a new generation. Shush, I'm cooking.

S4E2

Pizza Ball from The Eric Andre Show

Jan 8, 20196m

The Eric Andre Show, our eponymous host's LSD-soaked nightmare talkshow, has created some of the most maddeningly subversive comedy of the decade. None have captured the imagination of the internet, however, quite like the pizza ball. A gnarled sphere of everyone's favorite cheesy flatbread, the pizza ball (not unlike the show itself) is probably best enjoyed under the influence of something.

S4E3

Coq au Vin from Donnie Brasco

Jan 15, 20195m

You know when you have an internet cooking show where you recreate foods from movies & tv, and you've got that one friend that requests you recreate the same dish every time he comes over to play Smash Bros? Well, Ari, here ya go.

S4E4

Crème de la Crème à la Edgar from The Aristocats

Jan 22, 20195m

Oh Edgar, you sly old fox. Drugging and kidnapping kittens for profit, you rapscallion. Spiking milk with barbital like some droog from A Clockwork Orange, you madcap rascal. YOU COULD'VE HURT MONSIEUR ROQUEFORT. I'm glad he tied your shoes together.

S4E5

Sandy Frye's Appetizers from Bob's Burgers

Jan 29, 20198m

Today we embark upon our third journey into foods from Bob's Burgers...that aren't burgers. Because sometimes you need to stretch a bit so you can make a "big game" episode. But hey, we learn how to make quick puff pastry, one in 90 minutes, the other in less than an hour!

S4E6

Spaghetti Tacos from iCarly

Feb 5, 20195m

BwB turns 3 this weekend, so it seemed only fitting to take a crack at one of longest and most hotly-requested dishes in the show's history: spaghetti tacos. I was always hesitant to try, as double-carbing gives me the heebie-jeebies, but I think we've got a satisfying conclusion to man's lifelong journey of incorporating pasta in tacos.

S4E7

Steak au Poivre from Archer

Feb 12, 20196m

This week, we're headed back to the Archer archives in search of a tasty dish to recreate, and I could find none better than steak au poivre - even if it was served sans 'poivre'. We won't make that mistake in the BwB kitchen, as we recreate this French classic with some modernized veggie sides.

S4E8

Bao from Pixar's Bao

Feb 19, 20197m

Bao is a beautifully animated, thematically mature, subtle and nuanced portrait of the human condition - in other words, it's a Pixar production. To celebrate the Oscars this coming weekend, let's dive into the director's mom's own recipe, as we attempt to recreate a food so delicious, you'll want to raise it as your own until it tries to leave you and you eat it. Domee Shi's Mom's Recipe: https://www.foodandwine.com/cooking-techniques/bao-pixar-dumpling-recipe

S4E9

Krabby Supreme from Spongebob Squarepants

Feb 26, 20194m

Sometimes, you gotta give the people what they want. Play the hits. Let them eat...double-batter-fried-quad-burgers. This week I'm sacrificing both my health *and* dignity to bring you a very accurate recreation of one of Spongebob's greatest hits. Do not try this at home.

S4E10

Ribwich from The Simpsons

Mar 12, 20196m

This week we return, once again, to the seemingly bottomless pit of pop culture food parody that is The Simpsons. Never one to shy away from making fun of McDonalds, America's favorite family now grapples with an otherworldly force known as the 'Ribwich'. I was going to make a "rib" patty, like they would in a fast food context, but I'm just getting out from under the flu and didn't want to. I'm sorry.

S4E11

The Cake from Portal

Mar 19, 20196m

The cake, as they say, is a lie. But this one isn't: a classic black forest gateau, soaked in kirsch and laden with cherries, served entirely without fish-shaped solid waste. Stick around after the show for a sneak peek at "Being with Babish", premiering March 22nd!

S4E12

The Swanson from Parks and Recreation

Mar 26, 20195m

This week we return, for the first time in 3 years, to the house that built Babish: Parks and Rec. As summer (eventually) approaches, what could be better than celebrating Swanson-style: by wrapping some meat around some other meat. There's only one problem: I can't seem to stop using colons in this video's description.

S4E13

Brock's Donuts from Pokémon

Apr 1, 20194m

Fooled you...maybe. Probably not. Is this even a joke? I don't get it. Made you look down here though? Is that funny? This is my first time April fools-ing.

S4E14

Brock's Onigiri from Pokemon

Apr 2, 20195m

Okay, it's April 2nd, fun's over. This week, for reals this time, we're making onigiri: the breakfasty-lunchy-snack, ubiquitous in Japan, and virtually unheard of here in the US. As such, some committee of suits saw fit to Americanize their portrayal on Pokémon, and a generation of these United States grew up thinking they were donuts...and the bastards made ten hundred billion dollars. Was it worth it, 4Kids Entertainment? Oh, it was? No yeah you're right.

S4E15

Death Sandwich from Regular Show

Apr 9, 201910m

4 million subscribers!! I keep hitting numbers I never imagined I'd ever reach, so I'm going to keep recreating dishes I never imagined I'd ever recreate. This week it's the Death Sandwich from Regular Show, a pretty-plain-lookin' submarine that promises to kill you if you eat it without donning a mullet and jorts. In the Babishian spirit of approaching pop culture repast renditions as realistically as possible, I enlist the help of a tv-chef-superstar to build a sandwich worth...dying for? Probably not, no. But holy shit you guys, I got to hang out with Masaharu Morimoto!!

S4E16

Grilled Cheese Deluxe from Regular Show

Apr 16, 20197m

This week, for the first time ever, we're double-dipping into the same source material two episodes in a row. Why? Last week was National Grilled Cheese Day, and well damn it, it got me in the mood. So while we don't have any accurate stats or specs on the 'grilled cheese deluxe' from Cheezer's, this is my very best effort to make a grilled cheese worth standing in line for. Unless you're an astronaut, of course.

S4E17

Shrimp from Forrest Gump Part II

Apr 23, 20199m

This week, we finally revisit the all-American fantasy of Forrest Gump, crossing a few more dishes off Bubba's comprehensive shrimp-preparation list. Due to the growing complexity of the dishes, I've had to cut it down to three this time around, but hey - that means there's gonna be a Part III! Eventually.

S4E18

Ice Cream Flavors from Avengers: Infinity War

Apr 30, 20197m

Just in time to soothe your Avengers: Endgame withdrawal, we're taking a crack at the fictional Ben & Jerry's Avenger flavors. We like doing things in threes here at Babish Enterprises, so thanks to an ingenious Redditor comment, we're throwing a third flavor into the mix: Raspberry Thorbet!

S4E19

Good Morning Burger from The Simpsons

May 7, 20197m

This week, we return to an absolutely endless resource of fictional-food-madness: The Simpsons. Homer is tempted by yet another fast food innovation, the Good Morning Burger, a breakfast abomination whose sheer caloric heft can only safely be consumed by my trainer friend.

S4E20

Teddy Brûlée from Bob's Burgers

May 14, 20198m

It would seem as though most modern comedies have a Teddy: a hapless, lovable loser whose behavior straddles the line between funny and halting. Perhaps Teddy Brûlée captures the character better than any other food could: sweet, unhealthy, and holding a blowtorch.

S4E21

The Good Place Special

May 21, 20199m

Food from The Good Place (and, well, everything else from The Good Place) reads like a fever dream: giant shrimp terrorizing the neighborhood, fountains of clam chowder, frozen yogurt in every conceivable flavor. Today, we're seeing if we can make some of these bizarre concoctions palatable - and throwing in some jalapeño poppers for good measure.

S4E22

Orange-Mocha Frappuccinos from Zoolander

May 28, 20196m

This week we're heading back in time to the 2001 treat you never knew you wanted (because they don't sound very good): the orangey, chocolatey, coffee-y frappuccinos so eagerly inhaled by Derek Zoolander and friends, just moments before their tragic deaths in a freak gasoline fight accident.

S4E23

Breakfast from Howl's Moving Castle

Jun 4, 20195m

Howl's Moving Castle is one of the many exquisitely animated (and profoundly confusing) expressions of destiny, growth, and love brought to us by Hayao Miyazaki. An even more ubiquitous theme in his films, however, is food. Few can so magically inspire hunger as the sizzling breakfast served up courtesy of Calcifer's demonic flames - can some at-home know-how help us bring the magic into our own kitchens?

S4E24

It's Always Sunny Special Part II

Jun 11, 201911m

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns as one of the leaders of food-as-plot-device-comedies, with its narcissist protagonists often tangling delicious (or disgusting) cuisine up in their antics. Grilled Frank, in particular, is ripe for innovation.

S4E25

Huevos Rancheros from Breaking Bad

Jun 18, 20196m

This week, we're back with a Breaking-Badian breakfast - but shockingly, not one involving Walter Jr. Jesse cooks up some halfway-decent grub in the form of Huevos Rancheros, a dish with a few basic components that can be endlessly tweaked and customized. Just don't add chili powder.

S4E26

Ube Roll from Steven Universe

Jun 25, 20199m

This week, Lars Barriga makes a reflection of himself in the form of a neon-purple sweet potato roulade. Beach City's resident grouch is no slouch in the kitchen, so no wonder it takes me 8+ tries to get the friggin thing right. Baking is hard, guys.

S4E27

KFC from Stranger Things

Jul 2, 201911m

Stranger Things returns this 4th of July, providing a double-whammy reason to fry up a batch of fried chicken, whip up a mess of biscuits, and mash up a friggin ton of potatoes. Celebrate our nation's independence day (and Netflix's most celebrated series) the way it was intended: with some deeply unhealthy food.

S4E28

Larb from Spider-Man: Homecoming

Jul 9, 20196m

To Aunt May's delight and amusement, her mild-mannered nephew Peter orders Larb at their local Thai place. Despite her pun-centric lampooning, she'll soon discover that larb is the meat salad that'll make you less grossed out by the concept of something called 'meat salad'.

S4E29

Inferno Wing Challenge from Regular Show

Jul 16, 20197m

So, as it turns out, the following are currently out of season: mutated ghost peppers, hot magma extract, and black widow venom. As such, I was unable to render a truly accurate facsimile of what's come to be known as the "Inferno Challenge" amongst those who 'take their wings super-seriously'. Which I do not.

S4E30

Bagel Sandwiches from Steven Universe

Jul 23, 201910m

This week we're headed back to Beach City for some sammich inspiration, where Steven Quartz Universe repeatedly whips up (and is thwarted from eating) one of his favorite foods: bagel sandwiches. Can we upgrade this breakfast favorite with just a little boilin' and bakin'?

S4E31

Squid Ink Pasta from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

Jul 30, 20196m

This week we return to the wide world of anime for a hotly-requested jet-black delicacy: squid ink pasta. While it smells like the great pacific garbage patch, cuttlefish ink is a visually dramatic but orally subtle way to introduce some seafood flavors into your favorite pastas. Just be sure to explain its concept to JoJo before you serve it to him.

S4E32

Sea Salt Ice Cream from Kingdom Hearts

Aug 6, 20195m

Kingdom Hearts is the unlikely Disney crossover RPG that has a serious predilection for neon-teal ice cream bars - or so I'm told. I've never played it ????but I am your humble servant in the recreation of the foods from fiction, so as always, I'll do my darnedest! Let's start with a gelato al fior di latte (sort of), and see if we can master the art of no-churn popsicles!

S4E33

White Castle Order from Harold & Kumar

Aug 13, 20198m

This week, the challenge lies in both the volume of food and the method by which it's prepared - 30 sliders whipped up at once, onion-steamed the way White Castle does it. Can I wolf down the entire hyper-stoned order placed by our titular heroes? Of course not, I'm no Matt Stonie, but I've got some hungry friends.

S4E34

Pancakes from Uncle Buck (ft. Dan Souza and a Giant Robot)

Aug 20, 201911m

Check out Dan Souza's far-more-scientific take on giant pancakes over at What's Eating Dan! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHOqSNnDib0 Happy (early) birthday Macaulay!! 5 Million Subscriber Special coming soon! Preorder the official Binging with Babish Cookbook today! https://www.bingingwithbabish.com/cookbook

S4E35

Apple Fritters from Regular Show

Aug 27, 20197m

As has become tradition in the Babish household, we're ringing in 5 million subscribers with some confections from Regular Show: the tantalizingly double-glazed apple fritters that transport our heroes to another plane of existence. Will they force our reality to similarly burst at its sugary seams?

S4E36

Sumbitches from How I Met Your Mother

Sep 3, 20197m

Sumbitches are the wildly-offensively-named cookie that, in a very real way, are how I met your mother. Beyond that, they are the carnal cookie combo of chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel - which offers some technical challenges that can be surmounted with a little know-how, elbow grease, and a copy of Milk Bar by Christina Tosi.

S4E37

Recreating Homer Simpson's NOLA Food Tour

Sep 10, 201911m

Thank you all for helping me hit 5 million subscribers - here's our unusual (but fun) way of saying thank you!

S4E38

Ziti and Lasagna from The Sopranos

Sep 17, 201910m

Rarely does food play such a central character in a TV show or movie that's not specifically about food, but in The Sopranos, it might as well be one of the family. The crown jewel of which, despite Artie Bucco's hapless attempts, is the cuisine of Carmela Soprano. Strap on your gold President and build a ramp for the ducks, because it's time to emotionally repress our murderous mentality with some cheesy, saucy pasta - with a layer of basil underneath the cheese, of course.

S4E39

Coffee Jelly from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

Sep 24, 20199m

This week, we're headed into hotly-requested-but-I'm-not-familiar-with-the-source-material territory with The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. Our titular hero has a particular affinity for caffeine in jiggle-form, and with the help of a bevy of coffee gadgetry, we'll bring this wiggling summertime treat to life.

S4E40

Secret Ingredient Soup from Kung Fu Panda

Oct 1, 201911m

The secret ingredient is...nothing! Despite that revelation, this so-called secret-soup is one of the most hotly requested dishes in the Babish Culinary Universe. Can we develop deep flavors, hand-pull noodles, and serve up a dish that lives up to Mr. Ping's noodly legacy? Yes, no, and yes.

S4E41

Chicago-Style Pizza from The Daily Show (sort of)

Oct 8, 20199m

Hey folks! This week we're heralding the arrival of National Pizza Month (aka every month ever?) with a true Binging with Babish conceptual reach - using Jon Stewart's famous rant against Chi-Town's deep-dish speciality as an excuse to make some ourselves. As it turns out, the stuff is pretty ridiculously easy to make, and a way to satisfy a pizza-craving-crowd...ridiculously. With cups of sauce and pounds of cheese held at bay by a towering levee of buttery, flaky crust, how could you not like Chicago-style deep-dish pizza? Unless there's some New York-style pizza available, of course.

S4E42

$5 Shake from Pulp Fiction

Oct 15, 20199m

This week, Babish takes a turn for the sweet and opulent as we explore the possibilities of a $5 milkshake. Or rather, the lack thereof: there aren't many ways to inflate the price of a plain vanilla shake, outside of simply being served in an overpriced theme restaurant in LA. So let's see just how expensive we can make this sucker!

S4E43

Crêpes from Talladega Nights

Oct 22, 20198m

Crêpes are discussed at length, in a pretty threatening manner, in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. Before his arm is snapped by the very French Jean Girard, he's coerced into admitting he likes crêpes...which he actually does. Which makes sense, because they're the perfect vessel for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.

S4E44

Glazed Pork Chops from Apex Legends

Oct 29, 20199m

This week, we're exploring a hotly-requested video game easter egg: Mirage's beloved glazed pork chops from Apex Legends. Sneakily included in one of the game's loading screens, this recipe goes from awful to wonderful to downright delectable...but difficult to look at. Don't understand what I mean? Watch the video ya big silly!

S4E45

Nachos from The Good Place (plus Naco Redemption)

Nov 5, 201910m

Spoiler alerts generally aren't an issue with single-camera sitcoms, but in the case of The Good Place, my video description will be understandably sparse. If you haven't already, just go watch it - if you have, join me this week as we come up with an excuse to celebrate national nacho day (which is in Februrary for some reason)!

S4E46

Tiramisu from Superbad

Nov 12, 20198m

This video is sponsored by Philips Espresso. Superbad, from a foodie perspective, might be better remembered as the origin story of 'sexy hamburger' McLovin; but its not a film without culinary cachet. Apart from being Seth's senioritis-rallying-cry, tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert, and the perfect introductory course to both pastry and pastry cream.

S4E47

Calzones from Seinfeld

Nov 19, 20199m

George Costanza, to say the least, has a predilection for food. It instigates, interrupts, and defines his work, home, and sex life. It occupies his thoughts and daydreams, walks in tandem with his fantasies, and plays a vital role in both the pursuit of and vengeance exacted upon others. And, through its George Steinbrenner-ian provenance, provides a great excuse to make some calzones!

S4E48

Turturkeykey from How I Met Your Mother

Nov 26, 201911m

In "Blitzgiving", Ted Mosby demonstrates the pitfall of many new cooks: attempting to innovate way too early in his kitchen career. A rudimentary understanding of how meat cooks in an oven would dissuade our omniscient narrator, but without it, The Gentleman would never have been born, and the curse of The Blitz would never have been passed. Happy Thanksgiving guys!

S4E49

Osso Buco from The Office

Dec 3, 20199m

This week, we're taking a look at a winter classic, courtesy of one of the most painful scenes in television history: the dinner party from The Office. Jan's (very) slowly-braised veal shanks are clearly seen served with Risotto alla Milanese, a classic saffron-scented version of the decadent Italian staple. Put it all together, and you've got the perfect dish to weather the winter - or at least the world's most awkward dinner party.

S4E50

Bone Broth from The Mandalorian

Dec 10, 201911m

"You want some soup?" Pedro Pascal can growl almost anything from underneath his beskar helmet and still make it sound pretty badass. One thing's for sure - you can bring bone broth in warm, or you can bring it in cold. Well, I suppose you could bring it in cold, but I wouldn't recommend it.

S4E51

Chili Dogs from The Irishman (ft. You Suck at Cooking)

Dec 17, 20199m

The Irishman, like many of Scorsese's sweeping epics, uses food to help build its rich cast of characters. Prison sauce for Henry Hill, steak for Jake La Motta, apple pie with yellow cheese for Travis Bickle - and most recently, chili dogs for Jimmy Hoffa. Follow along this week as we build an all-American artery clogger entirely from scratch, with a little help from You Suck at Cooking.

S4E52

Banoffee Pie from Love, Actually

Dec 24, 20198m

Love, Actually: the film that emotionally weaponizes Christmas, relationships, love, loss, and Hugh Grant's goofball charm. Also the film that taught early 00's Americans about a great many British mainstays, including (but not limited to) banoffee pie: a sweet, sticky, toffee-and-banana-laden confection easily thrown together with some pantry staples. So how about we make one entirely from scratch - and as a special treat, let's do it wrong!
