I had no idea it took so much, I'll appreciate the work involved a lot more from now on when I hear it in one sentence?
It's refreshing to see that you guys do have failures. But you don't quit. That's encouraging to me. Even the best have boomers.
I cannot get past her constantly itching her scalp, touching her face, swiping her nose and then touching food.
She has disgusting habits & I can't even get through one video without her grossing me out.
I'm not being picky. She is why health codes exist.
I never imagined in a million years the amount of effort that goes into these recipes. Honestly heads up 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What's the title of that bread book?
I'm not a fan of 'reality' cooking show, poor girl can't make sandwich & mopes in cubicle…next week…mad at roast for taking too long, she won't have time to do her paperwork 🙁
I like the cooking shows where there is a chef or at least somebody that knows how to make this sandwich. Sorry it looks like it took her two weeks to make this sandwich, they didn't say what the other roast is for. This is the exact opposite of how-to with this why-try ask the guy oh-oh it's 'kinda good, salty but good'. Nobody will be making this bread/roast/sauce because it is a bunch of drama not insight
Awesome series and exciting stuff. But will it all come together??!? I bet it will, go Cecelia!
I love how the show provides the whole process and not just the final recipes. I took a stab at it and marinated the pork butt for my cubanos for a day and a half with the marinade from the show TheChefShow. It turned out to be very delicious and with the leftovers were used for tacos. Keep at it – you will have your breakthrough soon.
I know my Best Friend Dan would love this level of test cookery and diligence that these folks have gone through.He is truly a wise man who represents Tampa well.
I have enjoyed this series so much! Just as a home cook, I will look up 15 different recipes just to find the perfect ONE to make my own. I really appreciate this and the little tip about covering the bread for a few minutes! I want a job here 🙏😁. You guys are awesome and thank you for all your hard work to save us a little time at home and have the best food.
This is a test kitchen video that is the opposite of BA but in it's own great way
I'm loving this series. I can't wait to see Cecelia bring it home. I want this sandwich now!
cece! I believe in the finish line too, my looooove~!
Smile. Breathe. Enjoy your great career.
I'm loving this series, hope to see more. But wow, what a lot of work for the home cook just for a sandwich! I love making bread, but to make it just for a sandwich, along with roasting the pork, is a lot!
I like this series
This was really interesting to see the process and HARD WORK for the ATK team goes thru. Thank you for sharing.
6:25 Babish acts less like a taster and more like the Babadook
And I thought my days at the office was were rough…
Geez louise…I really like this show a LOT! For such a short video, it's packed with so much information and emotion…all directed towards the perfect Cuban sandwich. Ha ha!
This is the best drama 🙂
