Binging with Babish: Lunches from The Breakfast Club 

That sushi lunch cost like a modern $60 and she took it to detention. WASPs 😒

That’s so funny tbh. Now a days you can get sushi at any grocery store for $20.

@@topogigio7031 then the message was clear. Her family had money.

Im a hologram

Awesome!

Bender is a robot dude. All he needs is alcohol.

@@feddymacfedderman alcohol fuels him

He has smokes for lunch

@@Revenkin Smoke up, Johnny!

Eyyyy just saw you lol.

Unless her family was mobbed up, then MAYBE. so.. 50-50 shot since 80's chicago.

Depends on your family and neighborhood. We have a looooooot of old school traditional Italian delis here and mortadella would not be out of place in an 80s school lunch in the right circumstances!

I thought that was pickle and pimento loaf? I used to love that stuff. That and old-fashioned loaf.

I thought it was olive loaf. Man I love olive loaf

Plus I thought the spread was cream cheese, not butter.

I shipped those two tbh

Definitely. They don't get any attention from their parents. Plus, when he tells her "I've seen you before" makes me think that's the first time Allison has ever been noticed by someone before since she's always ignored.

Me too, it definitely wouldn't taste as appetising as it apparently did in the movie!

honestly sounds like a chubbyemu video

Did we ever see if her lunch box had an ice pak inside?

It's not sushi, it's maki :/

@@johanjo0076 Maki rolls are just a type of sushi...

Yeah, he's definitely gonna need a guest for this one, I wonder who that could be.

I think at this point he is deliberately making sushi wrong in order to do a botched episode

I hope it's Hiroyuki Terada

@@ferdinand3und4zig big rodge?

Buys a $1000 fillet of tuna.

That sounds awful but at the same time so quintisentially midwest that it feels like it got served next to hotplate

When I was a kid, I'd make sandwiches with butter and sugar

Here I thought me eating cheese and syrup sandwiches in school was bad

@@mrpizzacat8273 sorry, cheese and syrup? as in like, maple syrup?

@@somerandomgoblin2583 no as in normal syrup the cane sugar based stuff some people call it golden syrup

Why are u former sushi chef and not present?

Because of the sushi incident of 09

@@lich4466 Tell me, what is the sushi incident of 09?

All this time I thought the word was "high fluting" Thanks for teaching me something new!

I love how nobody agrees on what it actually was

i mean there is not much difference in the final product. you probably couldn't really tell which one was made with bazooka. it's only unauthentic because you saw it being made, the ingredients and construction is the same

The difference is the Japanese are usually too polite to call him out on it.

​@@denied7616 nah, a friend and I had some fun with the bazooka before. It's def an inferior product. Too much rice and unevenly distributed ingredients even when you carefully layer.

@@JT-hq2cc so it'll look like sushi done by a person who's not made sushi much before

FUIYOH

And not just any rice cooker but a Zojirushi. So you know he means business. Lolol I love my Zojirushi it was one of the best kitchen appliances I have ever bought.

@@lt.branwulfram4794 Uncle Roger would be proud of Babish

Is rice really that difficult for y'all to make where a rice cooker is considered a gift and blessing from the Gods?

@@nappa0582 I take it you don't have a rice cooker and thus don't realise the amazing end result it delivers with perfect consistency? It's not about how easy or hard it is to make rice, it's about the rice being way better from a rice cooker than in almost any other method available. Trust me, if you enjoy rice, just buy a cheap [like 20 bucks or so] rice cooker and test it out. Compared to regularly boiling your rice, the result is fluffier, you have more individual grains, they don't clump and it's a more even result. You also don't need to pay precise attention to when it's done for the perfect result, which gives you more time to get extravagant with the other parts of your meal. Lastly, with most other methods, you have a window of about 1-2 minutes in which your rice becomes perfect, with anything longer or shorter reducing the quality by a lot. With a rice cooker, the rice stays in perfect consistency for anywhere between 10-30 minutes after the cooking process is done. It slowly deteriorates in quality after that point, but is still really nice for up to 2 hours. (You can even leave it in the rice cooker overnight and make fried rice with the leftovers.) Seriously, if you haven't experienced the greatness of a rice cooker, go and get one. I was a skeptic myself for years and it was among the best small investments (19,90 €) I've made.

Yeah Campbell's soup is probably more accurate considering the character and setting of the movie

So did I

Fun fact: The woman and the little girl who played Brian’s mom and sister are his real life mom and sister.

Yeah, that seems accurate. I was thinking chicken soup. It definitely has to be something more plain, to match the most mundane sandwich, the PB&J. Minestrone just doesn't seem like it'd be the first soup on everyone's mind in 1985 Chicagoland.

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 I always pictured Campbells vegetable soup for some reason

Almost sounded like he may be channeling Vice Grip Garage with that title for the rice cooker.

Cool story

I guess as long as the bread was very soft and the jelly was also in a very thin layer, that could work in an 'english cucumber sandwich' kinda way. just not as a meal, where the peanut butter is basically standing in for meat with the jelly standing in for tomatoes and lettuce and stuff.

my dad and his mom (my grandma) do it worse: in peanut butter sandwiches they do pb AND butter. i gag every time i think about it

@@gwennorthcutt421 peanutbutter and butter are the best of friends! it adds a wonderful creaminess and backs up both the sweet and savory angles. Plus if you don't put some kind of butter (or at least peanut butter) under the jelly side, you're gonna get soaked bread.

My grandparents did peanut butter and mayonnaise. It was a WWII thing but, ick.

Honestly, switch out the American with provolone and I agree.

Likewise, I've always been more of a turkey than a sushi person. But wouldn't turkey have way too many carbohydrates, if Andy is a wrestler, and was trying to stay within a desired weight group?

@@trinaq maybe he was trying to go up a weight group? Either way, i want those sandwiches

@@trinaq Yeah I felt like they were trying to go for a certain personality by making him a wrestler (it does attract a certain type and there is a lot of pressure from parent in individual sports), but then gave him the diet of a football player. Maybe they gave him an excessive lunch to illustrate the class difference between him & Johnny. If they both didn't have lunch then it would cause them to in some way be on the same level or empathise with each other too early on in the story.

@@alastairhewitt380 Andrew eats the huge lunch because his dad makes him; Bender doesn't eat anything because his dad doesn't make him anything. They do have a little in common

Same

That was my first thought too. Anything beyond that just seems extravagant next to the PBJ.

Thank you or tomato soup at best

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 his parents do seem like overachievers

I always imagined it as a veggie-loaded, tomato-y soup. Brian's mom was obsessed with his grades, so she would probably want to feed his brain all the nutrients veggies pack. I agree that it was likely from a can, though.

HAH!

and caused that pesky dandruff fetish LOL

Same

Indeed, her Pre Makeover look is STILL superior to this very day, and even the actress, Ally Sheedy, agrees that she prefers Allison's "Before" look.

It made me wanna be goth

Probably was intimidated by the process and something not in his wheelhouse so he probably wanted to do some practice before he actually did an episode with it

He's held off long enough, but eventually, the sushi reached him.

@@missd4244 >Was about to make this joke >Joke stolen *in my best Joseph voice* SUNADA BEEEEEEEEEEEETCH

So... this has nothing to do with the video but... I've never heard anyone say "By Jove". Are you a worshipper of his?

By being sane enough to not eat raw meat.

Coolness, you both have excellent taste in cuisine! ♥️😋

You are the parent. You are the person feeding your child sugar packets. You Gen X are truly the worst parents in history.

@@topogigio7031 All OP said was her daughter may prefer the sugary food, which is a very common train among young children. She did not say that was all she fed her child. You must have pretty powerful legs to be jumping to a conclusion like that

@@topogigio7031 I am a proud Millennial mom and while yes I may not ALWAYS feed my child healthy meals, I do encourage better food options hence me watching Babish to fuel my pop culture friendly household with elevated cuisine. So please, take your audacity and go elsewhere.

@@topogigio7031 dude your username's from homestar, don't be not cool. it's unbefitting. All food becomes sugar once it's inside you anyway. and kids need more than anyone, with their hyperactive metabolisms and growing brains. there's a reason their systems naturally crave it, we weren't born with some defect we slowly grow out of. We all grew up making butter sugar toast once in a while and we all came out fine, kids only started being unhealthy when they got pumped with ritalin to sit still instead of running all around burning off the calories.

No worries, it's all a setup for a future Botched episode, giving Andy an excuse to sample a dozen variations on the same tuna roll.

@@garyv83 I was literally about to comment this. XD

I'd really enjoy a Basics episode of sushi. It'd likely make for a long episode, due to how many different types there are, but I love sushi so much I'd still watch every second.

The weird device wasn't needed. For the inside out roll. I always just use the mat. Works great. Other than that it was great.

@@faunsolo Great minds!

Everyone’s got blind spots. My mom makes sushi all the time but she doesn’t know the first thing about *cooking pasta*.

thing is he's literally made both poke and onigiri (and we don't talk about brock's jelly filled donuts) so he basically has made sushi lol

@@cold6611 I suppose that, if you mashed the two together, it'd technically classify as a sushi recipe.

You need to put an epic description on it and at the end go "Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club."

I wish I liked French toast more. I never liked the way my mom made it. She never dried out the bread before making it.

@@reikun86 well, may I suggest some Capn Crunch french toast, with some cinnamon sugar and nutmeg in the custard?

I swear I've heard of something like this before, sounds like a case of accidentally coming up with the same idea without being aware of the other.

Brooklyn nine nine is an amazing show!!!!

@@darkforestpyxi not really

You mean the gummy bears wrapped in a fruit roll up

@@prometheus705 it is

@@prometheus705 you're wrong 😁

I second this

Third this

I don't think Babish does books.

@@badkarma2761 there was the captian underpants movie and netflix cartoon

Except our lunches weren't 6,000 calories. They were either 6 calories, nothing, or running stairs.

@@alastairhewitt380 ahh you must be under 152. We big bois sometimes have to chug water to make weight upwards, it's weird but happens sometimes.

@@topogigio7031 I remember the light weight guys on the team literally spitting in drinking fountains or the sinks in chemistry to get rid of water weight LOL

@@topogigio7031 wait, you'd be trying to INCREASE your weight? to get into the higher class or whatever? wouldn't that make you the lightest, weakest guy in that weight class? like isn't it better to be at the top of the next one down? also man if Strong Bad mumbles about SNES games on the couch, how would Cardgage snore? Like, is that the only time he speaks clearly...

@@KairuHakubi trying to maintain a win record in ONE weightclass all season so you can have a shot at state while helping your teams stats can be difficult. Hormone changes in teenagers are a thing, so sometimes the bigger guys will suddenly start losing pudge and not realize they're 3lbs under the weight to compete in the class they have been wrestling and winning in all season.

I couldn't believe it recently made a list of overrated movies! Sacriledge

What will you have after 500 failed attempts ?!?!!!

@@hamletarana9122 I’ll have you, tiny whisk

We see you Babish. We know what you're up to.

It's all a big inside job

Same. I want to taste the filling, not the bread.

I do peanut butter on both pieces of bread and a generous portion of jelly in the middle. It keeps your bread from getting soggy before you eat it.

It's all about the ratio

@@gracegalvan6495 yes, gotta seal coat the great to prevent the jelly from leeching into the bread!

Onigiri is not sushi.

I mean, some places do have chicken burgers so that checks out

he called it an unagi roll? I guess I missed that haha

Didn't he call it a maki roll?

He called it a maki roll. Not unagi.

White people referring to “the west” like they’re not from there has always confounded me

No it isn't

@@Artofficial1986 That’s because “The Thing” and “Empire Strikes Back” exist.

Uncle Roger is long overdue to appear in the BCU!

Or better yet have uncle roger do a babby review

Yeah, I'm surprised at how recognizable that was. If I read that quote I wouldn't have recalled what it was from but the way he said it was just instantly recognizable.

I don't think that is in Kendall's job description :)

And instead of mortadella, use pimento loaf, which is what it looked like when it landed on the statue.

I would have just put the other stuff over the Mortadella, for gross out factor, this is High School after all. :)

@@zimmejoc After just a few episodes of Botched, that wouldn't be the strangest part of Kendall's job.

Yes!

yes

Only if he rubs his arms with butter like Jon does.

Ooh this one yes.

The one problem is he's done Thanksgiving meals so much.

it's that Ginger / MaryAnn thing. Society's gotten beauty so wrong for so many, many years, it's no wonder so many people are confused.

Considering Hollywood casting, nobody is unattractive.

I miss should you buy it

although that I really just want to collab with him

Ur welcome for the like

I also think minestrone was an odd choice. Just something like chicken soup would have fit better with the average suburban household vibe.

😎👉👉

i didn't even notice but i DID notice he did not wash the rice! 😂😂😂

I think the entire sushi bit was just an excuse for a future Botched episode. But you won't hear me complaining.

@@alaytheaherr He did wash it! He said "thoroughly washed" he just didn't show it on camera haha

@@alaytheaherr 1:03

HD is not Andy's friend.

Blue Moon Cafe in Baltimore serves that. They were on DDD with Guy.

@@lloydwoodward9053 If I ever go to Baltimore (never know when), I would consider going there when I have time.

Golden Harvest in Lansing sometimes makes it too

So apparently I have to make it my goal to go to either Baltimore or Lansing.

Even now, it's not a common highschool lunch.

It's not expensive but it's hardly a school lunch because it's a chore to make and needs somewhat fresh ingredients.

Would be a little weird because well- no refrigeration. They'd be warm and soggy

@@Lance-we2ud ice packs

@@Lance-we2ud Most sushi is intended to be served slightly below body temperature so that probably wouldn't be a problem.
