Binging with Babish: Death by Chocolate Éclair from The Simpsons

10 million subscriber special idea: livestream eating a banana and seeing what happens?

French cuisine: Really laborious ways of eating butter.

Death by Chocolate Éclair is one of the three ways I would be content in dying.

This reminds me of my roommate who put milk powder in his milk so that he could drink more milk per milk

I'm calling this a failure. I could accept not having 25 pounds of butter per square inch(maybe). I understand that it's hard to find chocolate dark enough that light cannot escape it so I won't hold that against you. Where I draw the line is it not being one million calories!

While Whisking Constantly: An Autobiography of Babish

“Whisking Constantly” would be a great name for a biography

There's something so humanizing about the way Babish cooks. He fully admits "I don't understand this I just know it works" and it gives me confidence in the kitchen

"I've seen that man eat a bowl of change!" Golden era simpsons writing was on another level, probably due to the amount of legends writing for them at the time

"ive seen this man eat a bowl of change." -one of my all time favorite lines from the Simpsons..

The irony of sticking parchment paper with non stick spray is on another level.

Story time; So I was in a Tim Hortons the other day (October 8th 2021) and I was sitting down eating lunch with my family. We were seated near the front counter and I was facing said counter. An older gentleman was taking his turn to order. He ordered a coffee and than turned towards the baked goods display case and without pointing at what he wanted or reading the labels, said with full confidence: "I'll take one of those Hot dog bun lookin' things that you dipped in chocolate and the cream inside it." I nearly choked on my drink as I immediately realized this man wanted an éclair. Seeing this video in my recommendations reminded me of it so I thought I'd share.

"Kendall told me what it means and I forgot immediately afterwards" you just summed up my entire High School experience.

Legends say that Babish is still whisking to this day

Also from the Simpsons, when Moe takes out a girl on a date to a fancy restaurant, Moe orders their "fanciest food stuffed in your second fanciest food". I think it ended up being lobster stuffed with tacos. I would love to see a recreation of that!

Next up: making the bowl of change Homer ate.

2:05 "Using non-stick spray to secure it in place" Mmhhmm yeah

Fun fact: "éclair" is French for "lightning" because a seasoned pastry chef can make them in a flash!

"using non-stick spray to keep it in place" that sentence feels weird

i vividly remember them poisoning the pastry in the episode, so adding what is essentially poison to babish keeps it accurate
