- This is it. Bringing it all together. Brad, Claire, Rick, Carla, Andy, Chris, Molly and Christina have striven over the last few weeks to create the perfect component parts of a Thanksgiving dinner: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, sides, pie. Now they're here to bring it all together in the finale and make a (mostly) absolutely perfect Thanksgiving meal. Well, there are a few hiccups along the way, but what's a Thanksgiving meal without a few happy accidents?

"why are we so off the plan??"
*everyone is holding a wine glass*
hahaha. accurate!!
Lol they didn't schedule wine breaks
@@nataliaquiroga4015 or the clamming adventure
The cutest. Lol
The editor of this episode deserves an award. Perfect comedy timing, the cuts to Tuna, the contrast of the fried rice chillness and the inside chaos. It's all so great
And THE CLAMMING
Props to the camera guy as well for the comedic timing of Claire asking Brad if he had "eyes on the turkey" as he stares intently at his phone.
the potato man himself *potatoes*
Turkey in oven.
Turkey is still in oven.
Turket may never be ready.
Rick's joyful laughter with a hard cut to Andy and Brad basically in detention was one of my favorite edits
the cut to "oh you're doing it THAT way" was literally comedic gold
16:04 is the time stamp if you were wondering
This was their peak. Everyone was vying time at claire's family kitchen. Watching them all make incredible dishes. Simpler times.
I think this was the episode where few of them didn't get paid I think molly said that 😅
the cut to claire saying “oh you’re doing it *that* way?” made me SCREAM
SAMEEEEE
Preceded by "You heard what she said to me yesterday right?!" The comedic timing had me on the FLOOR
She sounded like a mean girl. Hahaha
@ChocoGamin3 lord bless you
that cut made me choke and come to the comments
_Everyone running around like headless chickens_
Chris and Rick: "It's wild how much fried rice can taste like Thanksgiving."
I love how everyone had their little moments with their buddy. Chris and Rick cooking rice, Andy and Brad whispering about raw turkey conspiracy, Molly and Clara at the begining and end
That's what happens when you put two really positive and unproblematic people together, alone.
@@mjf69 Meanwhile, Claire and Christina, who had breakdowns over accidentally recreating Molly's recipe
why is no one talking about chris morocco's "that sounds like a personal problem" comment in response to molly wanting to use the outside burner LOOOOOOOOOL 32:37
Shots fired
My was-band used to say that to me all the time. That's WHY he's my WAS-band.
They are like siblings.
It felt like Morocco contributed very little and just watched Rick mostly lol
@@justinesimpson7969 So what you're saying is he lived the dream
Who else is binge-watching the golden era of BA knowing that we will never get to see content like this ever?
Stay believing
😭its just heartbreaking
I’m going to miss it forever 🥲
For me it's the whole journey, they could teach it in some journalism / business grad school course. The early generic videos, the first It's Alive!, then Gourmet Makes, then the final culmination of greatness with an Apple TV deal, and then the big explosion and it all comes falling down. What a ride.
@@sonnyvarioni1654 I'm confuse did something happen
The contrast between Chris and Rick cooking outside vs everyone else in the kitchen is PEAK comedy.
*People running around frantically; Brad screaming;CHAOS*
_Grieg's Morning Mood playing_
"I love cooking outside, Morocco"
the revelation that morocco is a shorts guy has me shook, though. i always figured him for chinos or maybe slacks.
Every thanksgiving has those uncles that just go outside and man the grill while drinking. Good to see BA didn't skimp on that.
Someone on their stuffing video mentioned that they run like a well-oiled machine compared the chaos of everyone else. They really held true to that.
30:40
Chris and Rick outside over an outdoor stove while everyone else was panicking had such Dad energy.
the amazing dou we didnt know we loved and needed
you're not allowed to shorten Daddy in this context
FormalFistFight Dad energy and Daddy energy are very different
Big Dad Energy
@@FormalFistFight its not too late to delete this comment
Molly: “we went on a JOURNEY with a potato MASTER!”
Potato Master: “potatoes”
Wow, groundbreaking
LOLOLOLOLLLLLL
I snorted at that
That was so well timed
Esteban Berns thank you, I needed that 🤣
story checks out
24:48
"Let's talk about betra- I mean cranberry sauce."
Brad, as he looks at Andy dead in the eyes.
Tuna is the only one who held it together throughout.
It’s just total chaos
And Sauci!
Tuna took a nap at 5pm, tbqh
Tuna is adorable, and so is Carla's cat.
@@tamaraf69 At the end I was like, "After putting her house through this, Sauci doesn't get to sit at the table with them??" Hope she and the crew got to eat as soon as they cut filming.
Everyone inside: “It’s so off the rails”
* cuts to outside *
Chris and Rick outside : “I *LOVE* cooking outside”
Hahahahahahaha....yeah!
I just learned that Claire majored in History at Harvard and everything is starting to make more sense
And McGill (Montreal) where she earned her Masters of History. Specializing in France/old world French cuisine. Somewhere in between she went to cooking school in Paris, of course!
HRHDMKYT soooo excited you know that I’m probably going to go to the same college (McGill) as Claire!
"I will not be the last thing on that table" aggressively ties apron
Watching this video after the BA implosion is like coming across old family vacation photos after the divorce. Definitely miss this crew.
What BA implosion?
@@dgonza1638 long story short they don't pay POC members and staffs equally as their white BA members do
Definitely feels nostalgic. They had such a chemistry and other than Bead I don't think they want to invest in personality content anymore because they had to rebuild when everyone left
True that. This was one of the best channells ever - it is indeed like watching a family film knowing how the family ended up in the end
@@dgonza1638 It was a big thing mid 2020ish, only 3 of them are still there. You could probably google it for the details, but a big part of it was that the poc weren't being paid fairly compared to everyone else.
Chris impatiently waiting for his friends to make him an unnecessarily fancy drink is me.
DEF.
Me too
I know! Such a mood
If your friends make that for you you have good friends.
in his defense, he did make a gourmet coffee for his friend
New update!
Andy’s greatest enemy: sumac
Claire’s greatest enemy: chocolate
Chris’s greatest enemy: cheese
Brad’s greatest enemy: Delaney
Molly's greatest enemy: A white shirt
andy's biggest enemy is a pristine shirt, need those rips around the neck area on the shirt or it aint andy
Delaney >:(
Carla's enemy: buns in the oven
Said in Brad's *Delany*, clenched jaw voice.. Every. Time!!
“Take your child she’s trying to jump in the oven”
I can’t 😂
When did they say that??
Brad: Speak of the devil
Andy: The Devil?
Brad: Yeah, you being the devil
Andy: Satan himself
Brad: I was out of town for a few days
Andy: YOU LEFT ME
whyyyy do they sound so married 😆
They’re an old married couple 👏🏽😌
Andy said it in their Turkey episode too.
I have been waiting for christina’s “I will not be the last thing on that table” moment since the start of this series
30:29
I giggled when she was the first at the table
It sounded so much less dramatic and urgent without the intro music haha
Me also. I thought they had cut it out then BAM my fave moment.
YESS
AFilthyCaitlynMain sameee
at around 4:30
Molly: "We talked to the Potato Man himself"
The Potato Man Himself: "Potatoes"
Thank you kind editors for this 3 second clip that will bring me hours of sheer joy.
OMG i missed this the first time around but now I am laughing so hard
Thanks for pointing that out, I didnt notice how funny it was the first time around but then I laughed so much lol
Lol thanks y'all, I loved the potato man, I just wish we could've seen what the purple potatoes might have looked like as a mash
Potatoes

Bro only if BA had paid & treated everyone properly and equally!
This was such a good crew and they made such amazing videos together and individually!
I loved these videos when they came out and lowkey still do, but i can't watch the new ones the same way i did these!!
Everyone isn’t equally worthy of being treated equally in a business that has competition.
@@puzzledobserver7644 well clearly the business is the problem, which is why the bulk of them left. Matt Hunziker, one of their videographers and directors, stayed only long enough to help the workers unionize before finally leaving BA.
you mean "if only" changes the meaning a lot.
It is sooo sad we will never get this again....
Meh don't need it. To chaotic and people talking over each other.
@@freighter1097 come on, it's entertaining
Why not?
I mean we might but it wont have the same people, I really hope this group stays together because I really came to love each of them 😢 and its said because solah and alot of the mixed and black co workers deserved so much better and I really wish the best for all of them in this hard and trying time
@@Tom-vx5eq i mean we still could but at least not under BA
Claire: "This is my mom... her name is Sauci"
Me: "It all makes sense now"
Jhonyrod sauci saffitz and half sour saffitz
That's the woman who found the legendary 'creamy' Twizzler.
@@caf110 Now I think they should've been Sauci and Saucier Saffitz
So you’re telling me Claire’s mom’s name is Sauci Saffitz
sauci and half-sour saffitz!
I completely lost it at this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 cackling for days!!!
it really explains a lot.

When love would never die and god would be forgiving?
Yeesh... Hope things pick up, Dan.
@@TheSolitaryGrape were you young and unafraid?
les miserables type beat
Andy and Brad are like students who still have finals while everyone else is celebrating vacation
been there, you have the last final on a friday while the rest of your dorm/apartmnet/GreekHouse was done on wednesday morning
Felt 100%
This hits me right in my soul
Brad: "I left town for like two days-"
Andy: "yOU LEFT Me"
Morocco uses a variation of hand gestures, he’s so well spoken AND his eye contact with the camera makes the viewer drawn in.
But also, Andy’s impression was COMPLETELY spot on.
The way Andy says "you left me" to Brad is Oscar worthy.
Claire: “I wrote instructions on how to do it.”
Chris: “that is the most Claire thing I’ve every heard”
LMAO
When was that?
@@Christian-ni5li 10:00
The ocd is real
You don't even smoke? What?
She's a smart cookie.
So this is what “Too many cooks in the kitchen” looks like
Literally...

Omfg😂😂😂
Dying...
Next Thanksgiving Sauci should oversee everything. I was dying laughing when she was criticizing Claire.
"It's the potato man himself!"
cut to potato expert
"Potatoes :)"
He was adorable. ;)
“Don’t be sad it’s over, just be happy it ever happened.”
I’m sad anyway :( missing them
Andy screaming "this is stress eating" as he shoves lobster roll into his face is me
Wow I went to look for that without watching the video and landed right on it.
Is anyone else strangely comforted by the fact that even 8 cooking professionals can’t get their act together enough to get a meal on the table on time? I know I am.
Yes, so relatable. It's not Thanksgiving or Christmas if there is not some kitchen chaos!
the phrase too many cooks in a kitchen has been around for years.
Miriam Siefken It’s probably worse for them actually. Everyone has a particular way that they like to cook and put things together.
Absolutely!

“Don’t Hassle Me I’m Local” -Chris Morocco
Cannot believe this festive episode is like a farewell toast to the best energy of BA and normal life.
Christina holding Tuna telling Molly “take your child” was an underrated highlight
"Tuna keeps jumping in the oven" 😂😂😂😂
Do you have a timestamp? I missed it lol
Nevermind, found it actually. 17:40
“When Claire is in the kitchen it’s clear there is one chief and a lot of under workers..” Sauci Saffitz validating every comment on the Christina and Claire Side Dishes episode.
I was looking for this comment.
Sometimes there has to be a dictatorship
Or is it communism?
Don't forget the Brad and Claire Pie episode
"Claire and the Side Dishes" sounds like a great name for a band
I kid you not. I basically discovered this channel during this whole novel coronovirus (COVID-19) thing, and I'm not even mad.
I love good cooking, I love good food, I love good friendship.
I'm good.
Okay, also, I'm looking forward to discovering new ingredients when I can leave my house without feeling guilty.
This has truly been my only comfort in all of this. I binged all the Gourmet Makes, moved on to Chris's Deconstructing videos, and then onto a mix of this and the Best Pizza series, watched all out of order. These are the only people I know now.
Same! I haven't watched anything but BA youtube in a week, not kidding!
This! I started watching BA videos about a week ago and haven't stopped since. I have a newfound desire to cook even though I can't really experiment right now and have fallen in love with all of these wonderful people.
Make sure you check out all the it's Alive videos
same, I started fermenting stuff, I'm making one of Sohla's recipes for mother day and I keep taking ideas to incorporate.
Kinda sad that this whole group will never make another video together again. @netflix please greenlight a series with all these people
Finally, the sent Claire on a huge trip to.... her parents house
No hanky panky
Watch Gochi gang! Clarie does go places, just not with BA
Claire and Brad went to Colorado for a pie contest! It was the last episode :D
@@copyweirdo that does not count. That was too stressful for our Claire.
thejhp Jun that was in New York
Claire: "sometimes there has to be a dictatorship and that place is the kitchen"
peace was never an option for claire
no structure also
Her mom called her out and started revealing more than she expected lol
Sauci is saucy haha
@@Rtz89 classic mom move
the editor was really like "we don't need to see them talk about cranberry sauce again. here's tuna frolicking instead"
Bon Appetit will never be this good again
Andy stress eating everything on sight because the turkey is not done is low key such a relatable mood hahaha
When Christina and Brad wanted to cheers and Andy had both hands full of food lol
I’m so sad that Claire stayed there alone?
35:40
Claire: *peeling a hot potato using her bare hand*
Molly: “OMG you’re rawdogging it”
I CANT BELIEVE SHE SAID THAT
We've learned a lot about Claire's claw hands lately

@@paulbrown8908 LMFAO
22:18-23:04 it’s like Brad and Andy are an old married couple on the edge of a divorce.
Brad: It's your cranberry sauce
Andy: It's OUR cranberry sauce
Claire: That's more like communism I guess
⚒️
Just how my mom and dad talk about me😂🤣
There's a lot of cooking in this dog video.
TOP TIER COMMENT
24:55 🐶❤
We are all here for tuna
I don't know why I expected that they would all be staying in Claire's parent's house like one big sleepover.
Omg Brad would be the one camping outside
They didn't? 😂
i’m drawing the conclusion that we all assumed they’d do a sleepover
Me tooooo
D' Gypsy I think they didn’t because Clair was waiting for them to arrive in the morning of day 2.
28:30
Everyone except Carla: lalsiejsgeyahskeirpxmwa
Carla: Claaaaaaam
Brad: “I was gone for two weeks and-“
Andy: “YOU LEFT ME”
I can’t unsee it they’re the fighting married couple this thanksgiving dinner has been missing
“Coming around a little fast”
“Oh it’s Brad”
"my dad would not approve" CFTBATK
I think Andy burning the sage wasn't just for the aroma, had to low key get rid of bad juju as well
Kristela Anna Cruz that’s all I was thinking about while he was doing it. Gotta smudge that bad energy off their turkey!
@@fyorarules You mean smudge that bad energy off the Sumac debacle xD
bruh imagine being in a big ol group of friends where everyones a professional chef
Sad this will never happen again
Claire does this weird thing where she says exactly what she's thinking
I don't know if this was meant to be a 'The Office' reference but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
16:05
First episode: Brad and Andy fight like an old married couple.
Last episode: Brad and Andy fight like a recently divorced couple.
Well as per andy's quote "you LEFT me" to brad for leaving to the country fair lmao
Watching two years later and after "it all" I miss this BA.
Completely agreed. Neither does the new group have the same spark, nor the people that stayed back. Morocco and Brad seem so different and dull😕
Claire: "all I know is the turkey went in on time and then something happened and then it's 2 hours late"
well yeah you went clamming
Molly: “Tuna is going to the star of this episode.”
Claire: **peels hot potato bare handed**
300DBenz “oh my god, you’re raw-dogging it”
"asbestos hands" as my coworkers use to call me haha a few to many run ins with cast iron and/or hot oil just kill the nerves so bad haha
@@sick0child omg my friends call me "asbestos hands" but for me it was grabbing hot plates out of the sanitizer (minimum 205 degrees) and holding them out to the cooks to grab as a prank because they couldn't handle how hot it was and I would deal with the heat out of sheer will.
This is how we do it in India tho..
@@shwetasrivastava9058 Lol, same in Nigeria 😂😂. I didn't know it was a thing
"I was out of town for a couple a daaaays"
"you LEFT me!"
I loved that moment
22:17
The real telenovela moment 😂 I love Andy so much
lmao scrolled down just to see if someone commented this
why is noone talking about the fact that her mom's name is SAUCI SAFFITZ
I know. Love that name 💯😎
The literal real-life representation of too many cooks in the kitchen. The end result is the best.
I can’t believe this content is free.
You pay with it with YOUR SOUL! Jk, mostly your free time.
Do not give them the idea
i feel like this should be a show on tv, like a reality tv show. it's so weird to think that this is really just some people cooking, but it's so funny
Don't give them ideas man. This is the only thing pure and amazing on the internet.

Who knew this would be the Avengers End Game of the BA story, it'll never be this good again.
*"That sounds like a personal problem."*
Claire: I wrote instructions on how to use it
Chris: it’s the most Claire thing I ever see
So true
Claire wrote those notes after having a hard time using it the last time.
Claire improves through pain.
Andy and Brad is kinda lowkey considering giving everyone salmonella with that whisper talk lmao.

Best comment 😂😂
I still like the dynamic of this group of BA chefs. They seem so much more passionate compared to the new ones now.
Inside: peak stressed mom energy
Outside: peak chill dad energy
Chris saying "that's sounds like a personal problem" is such a power move 😂

"YoU *LeFt* mE"
"I come back, we meet up in _the Cape of the Cod_ here, the sumac's gone... so I don't really wanna talk about cranberry sauce"
😂😂
Andy is def a Btm
Andy consuming more and more food in the kitchen as time goes by is such a mood
I watch this every single year before thanksgiving now. Mostly for the dressing recipe, but also because there was just something so lovely about the dynamic with all these chefs it did feel like they were a family.
I want to see Claire and Andy try to put together a meal because there's a huge chance they'll end up browbeating and micromanaging each other to the point where they snap and litterally come to blows.
Basically you want blood
Claire could take him.
I want this, too.
That pairing would be so brutal.
they’re the kind of people who’d either make the perfect team or murder each other in the process, no in between
I keep coming back to this video. Feels like realistic sit com with natural banter and talking heads. Will forever miss this cast
I love this, must have watched it 5 times. Such a shame that they aren’t doing a season two because 90% of the staff said they aren’t doing videos anymore. Oh well, I can always watch this 🙃.
I think you need to check your math there
"Tuna is gonna be the real star of this episode."

FACTS!!! OMG!
I feel like the producers suggested they go clamming intentionally screw everything up and make stuff more interesting. If everyone had been around the whole time, I feel like things would have come together much smoother.
They started off all in good sync but they all started getting frustrated and the drama ramped up when it got closer to crunch time at the end- just like most any American family on Thanksgiving day :)
