  • Claire Saffitz had never had Pocky before. And then one day in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen her life changed forever. Her eyes are open and now she has ascended to Pocky level: Tsubu Tsubu (Strawberry Flakes), a level that it usually takes decades to reach. With her work in making a gourmet version of four flavors of Pocky - Chocolate, Matcha, Cookies & Cream and Strawberry Flakes - she is quickly climbing ever upwards in the Pocky Movement. Join Claire as she seeks Pocky Perfection.

    I've binge watched probably 20 of these Gourmet Makes episodes over the weekend (I'm quarantined, don't judge me) and I've gotten so I enjoy the roles of all the guests that trickle through. Like Chris is the supportive "You got this, you nailed it!" guy. Brad is the commiserater/occasional partner-in-crime. Sohla is the mother of chocolate who makes tempering look easy but you also know you will never get it. Amiel, Molly, Andy, and Carla are the siblings waiting in the wings to judge/eat when no one is looking. Gabby is the exuberant "I love everything!" person. Dan is the unseen older brother making things harder. Rhoda is the barely seen older sister who sets the rules. Adam sucks. And, of course, Claire is adorable.

    Claire's gray hair, is cute! Even though gray hair means age for some reason it makes her face seem more youthful, don't worry Claire your gray hair is a whimsical thing.

    Gaby is so pure 😭 I love her enthusiasm and overall positive attitude. I also really love the silver streak in Claire’s hair, I always thought it was intentional! The BA family looks like a lovely group of people!

    It seems like Chris didn't like being fancast as the villain of gourmet makes so now he's just like 'i will not criticize ANYTHING' lol

      ​@@IndigoBassNotes To be fair, his critism wasn't alway constructive. I love the constructive critisim he gives. But about half the time he wasn't giving constructive--was just teasing people when they were frustrated. Which we as viewers don't know anything about their interpersonal relationships of couse so that m ight be their friendship type.
      I've always assumed it was something about their friendship. The producer guy in the intro also often gives teasing critisms rather than straight forward critism.
      Constructive Critism is always great though. But has to be given in terms of the item or the method itself. Not the user.
      People need to learn to accept critism but people also need to learn how to give it.
      TWo way street to proper growth.

      Just to clarify I loved Morocco being a savage lol. I could tell it was coming from a friendly place but it was nice to have someone that was helpful without being a yes man. I love Claire, and I love Chris.

      Ronni Abshier yea same I agree. They’re all friends and I’m pretty sure Claire knew his “criticism” was from a good place

    Honestly this episode was a lot more fun than I thought! Cleaning the coating with the metal thin going down is soooo satisfying!
