- When it comes to classic French eateries in New York City, few are more iconic than SOHO's Balthazar. We sent Alex Delany to this famous brasserie to try one of everything on the breakfast menu, and we didn't send him alone. For this episode, he was joined by French-speaking pastry expert Claire Saffitz to eat way too much food and drink multiple bowls (yes, bowls) of milky coffee.

Trying Everything on the Menu at an Iconic NYC Restaurant (Ft Claire Saffitz) | Bon Appétit - Jak na to + styl
Alex's super power is looking like he's in love w everyone he talks to.
Thats how you know he's a great friend makes you feel wanted😂
He wasn’t my favorite at first, but with this series he’s growing on me!
It helps Claire is pretty lovable...
I’d definitely invite Alex to the smoke sesh
including Brad
Alterbative Title: Claire flexes her superior french knowledge on an unsuspecting coworker.
ToastBot “unsuspecting coworker” 😂😂😂 you got me on that part 😂
Oh Delaney knows the abilities of Half-Sour.
Her words choice is correct but her pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired.
@@ThePaoOfTooh sure, but it seems hard to get a good one if your l1 is english.
@@ThePaoOfTooh I grew up in Atlanta. You should have seen Parisians react to my accent while speaking French.
I'm just watching this to remember what going places was like
Alice Dayton same
Alice Dayton the fact that if this comment was written a 2 months ago, it would’ve made no sense
Remember sitting down at a place where they cook food and you sit there with a bunch of other people but your not together?? or even sitting and watching a movie in a huge theater with a bunch of strangers? Good times
Elias M
Or going to school
_s i g h_
i felt that...
Claire: *clearly offended by how someone does stuff
Also claire: "interesting technique"
Mr. Parker Bing i hate what you’re doing but I don’t wanna be rude but also stop it right now but also please go ahead
The internal debate
“Do you need the pastries explained?”
Claire: *do you know who I am*
luckygirl1able am I a joke to you?!?’bb
HAHAHAHHA
lol
CFTBATK
What? Am I a joke to you?
Claire: OMAE WA MOU... shinderu
Mr pastry man: NANIIII
Brad: Prepares Miso and waits for 10 years
Chris: Recreates food by listening to it being dropped on a plate
Claire: Makes snacks using no other tools than a matchbox and a paper clip
Alex: goes to a restaurant and eats
ANYTHING is better than listening to Amiel fake eating into a microphone, and then fake groaning because it's "so good" 🙄🙄🙄✋😂
"DELANEY." **balled fist** - Brad
Cracked it!
Match box and paper clips, what are you talking about? Since when is MacGyver gourmet?
@@TheDcraft like using kidney beans for jelly bean molds or building pipe bombs to make pop rocks

Kayla M i think you forgot the rosé that delaney ordered when claire ordered the mimosa- i think it was $17 as well
@@peytonkennedy3038 you're right! Just added it, thanks!
I'm specifically looking for this. Thank you
Almost certain Balthazar comped the entire bill (and everything else the rest of the crew ordered).
@@melissablick779 I'm sure they did, but I was curious as to what it would cost for any of us to buy everything off the menu :)
Waiter: "Would you like an explanation of the pastries?" Claire, channeling her inner Swanson: "I know more than you."
HAHAHAHA i just watched all swanson compilations XDD
Lmao I can totally see Claire as the pastry Swanson.
PERFECT reference! Love Ron Swanson and Clair!!!
“Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written.”
@@betty4774 hahah that's perfect
i love that this series is just alex taking his friends out on dates
I love how title reads ft. Claire. Shows how important she's to the channel
@@dparag14 doesn't all of them have ft.?
❤️
It's what they deserve uwu
I love Alex
delany: "it's airy, chewy, crispy, crunchy"
me: "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique"
awwww claire waving over the newspaper is the CUTEST
"Do you need the pastries explained?"
Claire: *so you have chosen death*
Claire: "Non! Je suis pâtissier."
Nani?!
@@samuelsmith6281 Translation for us non-French speaking plebs: No! I'm a pastry chef
I feel like if Chris ever did this show, his bites would be indistinguishable.
Rizzo Bickel the food will be practically untouched lol
The waiter comes by to drop off some spoons.
"No thank you, I brought my own."
@@Spo8 LMAO
I'd love to see it
omg, can we please!!!! and he must bring his own spoons, i basically assume he wonders around with a batman like belt full of spoons.
nothing can get more adorable than claire waving at a distance reading her newspaper for the opening 🥺👉🏻👈🏻
Lol for real - If only she was dressed up as a detective behind the newspaper, that would of cracked me up
I never realized how sweet and loveable Delany is. He has such chaotic energy in the kitchen when Claire's in the middle of things haha.
Delany: builds bagel
Claire: “You know, Delany, you're what the French call les incompetents.”
Mitch I see your a man of culture!
💁♂️✨
seeing claire in a cozy sweater drinking a bowl of coffee is everything i needed
nicole in life, it’s everything I need in life.
It's like watching an episode of Friends
iwdfcftbatk
It’s like the baby yoda hot tea meme
@@thelamwanso74 There you go! The perfect analogy.👍
CLAIRE SPEAKING FRENCH IS SO CUTE ( im french and her accent is adorable)
perso la je trouve ça insupportable, j'adore claire mais la c'est prétentieux et lourd de sa part
Pablo Menut moi j’ai trouvé ça mignon elle a été dans une école culinaire française et j’ai pas trouvé ça prétentieux je pense qu’elle est fière de montrer ce qu’elle connaît
@@LittleThings98 ah au temps pour moi j'ignorais qu'elle avait étudié dans une école culinaire française ceci explique cela
I could almost feel how full Claire was getting towards the middle, and watching her take smaller and smaller bites until the end was destroying me 🤣
Delany has so much charisma, it is ridiculous. He's totally that guy that makes everyone feel special.
isn't it crazy! I've watched a few Gourmet Makes lately and I can't stop thinking about his charisma!
Exactly. Wish I had a friend like Delany!!!
@@PlayFoodSG I've had friends like that and it's actually awful. The person I'm thinking about would get very close to you, make you feel extremely special, and then get bored and do it to someone else. She wasn't really mean, just not a real friend you should get attached to.
@@NandaKumar-lt3pn C'mon let's be nice in the comments here. 🤗
@@PlayFoodSG Ok. I apologise. Sorry.
I'm looking forward to Chris's tiny bites on this series someday.
I look forward to all the sniffing.
If Chris comes, I'm not watching and would give a dislike.
@@MGM_Think okay
GoMhaaad That’s fine, no one wants you here anyway
fakecubed a million time yes and the sniffing!
when they said ''eggs florentine'', i heard "eggs quarantine" and i think it's appropriate right now

@@nawshinmurshed6988 So-Sohla!
Most iconic scene for me was when they "MMMHHHMM" at the same time at 12:55 😂🙌🏼
oml 😣
I just wanna see one with Chris where he sniffs every dish.
Only one perfect sniff per dish
😆 👌🏽
And takes super tiny bites!
yes :D
Ragnell123 YES
POV: You’re with your mom and dad for breakfast and they’re being weird again
lol
Oh boy this is spot on
made me lol
BFS thank you for this comment
What does POV mean?
Claire waving is one of the cutest things ever. Is everything she does adorable?!
Yes. Yes, it is.
Not remotely
I love how Claire will tell someone to go ahead and do something on their own and then she judges them the whole time 😂
“Except for Brad, who broke the rules a million times”
David Rhoades
Long live Brad!! 🤴
Sounds like classic brad
Brad fixed the rules a million times, more like... take a hint, Delany.
@@SlyMaelstrom Yeah, that one bite rule is dumb and I can tell everyone that comes on this show hates it lol.
Anyone know what they do with all leftover food?
23 minutes of Claire not stressed out is like Christmas for me.
totally
I really don't understand this sentiment. The only reason 99% of us even know Claire exists is because of her being stressed out trying to make stuff! The glory comes when she perseveres through the stress and succeeds. She has even said as much herself on the show.
and even still she was getting stressed out at how much food she had to eat lmao
She acts like a real jerk when she isn't under the pump.
@@nonneb1336 lol her mom talked so much smack about her in the Thanksgiving video
i just realized.. this is literally a mukbang
Literally?
No. This is a mass taste testing. Mukbang is eat it all this is TASTE it all
mukbang is cringey af this is educational
@@jkPATRAS educational is a stretch lol unless learning what other people like is your idea of education
Don't think you know what a mukbang is. Mukbang is streamed live.
12:55 I aspire to have a friend close enough to share in-sync "Mmmh"s with
Get someone who looks at you the way Alex Delany looks at everyone.
Leuca S. just get Delany 😂😂
He's so charming
I read this comment right before 14:58 and I couldn't agree more (I think he is in love with the food more than anything but seriously the way his eyes light up when he looks at literally anyone is amazing)
@@katy8188 yeah ill just get delany hahahaha
@Leuca S. They just reacted to your comment!!
Claire: I never want alcohol in the morning
Delaney: 😗
For some reason, I think of the face Rick makes
Is really no one else extremely upset that they didn't show footage for any of the beautifully poached egg yolks? WE ONLY SAW THE WHITES!!!
absolutely in love with the energy they had when they heard it was artichoke heart not turnips, they're really enjoying themselves and figuring dishes out
“I never want alcohol in the morning.” Alex looks like he has a hard time comprehending that lol.
I was literally drinking a beer at 6am when I watched this.
"it's always 5pm somewhere in the world"
Heath Wise Hey....😍😍😍
Staff: I can walk you through the pastries--
Claire: I know more than you.
the p&r reference somehow fits so weel with this breakfast food episode lol
"Ron Swanson liked your comment."
@@katarinatomac4376 p&r is just a (breakfast) food show disguised as a sitcom
@@voskhod4396 omg sis expose them
Oh, Claire...
C: "Who is going to break the egg?" AD: "You are."
Wow, Delany is just the best.
I've watched this episode about a dozen times. I could watch Claire and Delany eating all over NYC all day every day.
The cut to Claire with the newspaper in the background just made my day
I hope your day got better
It was so cute! I loved that bit so much XD
She's so cute
Claire has a master's degree in history focused on french culinary history, btw
Wow, I had no idea that such a cool master's degree existed.
we love this fandom just hyping claire up
Went to Harvard too, we love an educatied queen
Nice....
I'm glad I read this before the video started, haha
this is my comfort video. i’m back for my like 10th rewatch
I love how Claire gets bashful when she names the dish using it's French name. Great episode.
People keep commenting about the leftover food when literally in every single One of Everything video (including this one!), Delany says that the crew eats them.
Nazalea Kusuma I’m sure they eat some of it, but it’s not a crew of 20.
You are really underestimating the size of a full crew and also the hunger of filmmakers. Im pretty sure they eat all that.
They've also showed them bringing stuff back to BA
Boss Hog Matt Stoney is the sound guy
They need to make a video proving this.
Claire is just so unapologetically a control freak and I resonate so hard.
I have NEVER identified more with Claire than when she was critiquing Delaney's onion technique
Typical Virgo trait
Virgo 💕
I love her.

Yes, and...? 🙃
You: steals joke format online for attention
@@davemccombs who? Also, butthurt much?
GnomeDazzle Please go see a therapist. You’re really trying to hate on someone for making a simple joke?
@@davemccombs Uh Oh kids! Someone's a crankypants! Looks like Gnomey here saw a meme they didn't like! You know what that means? [class of kindergarteners speak in unison] CZcams's going to be mean!
That's riiiight!
GnomeDazzle: Sees a meme they don't like
also GnomeDazzle: uses it
Sees grapefruit: hmm that looks nice, they even segment it for you
Sees that it costs $11: Hahaha oh nononono
Yeah, I have a knife and I can buy a large bag of grapefruit for less than that.
the most famous New York restaurants are SO overpriced. They can get away with it.
Thank you! I'm looking at the easier dishes, they are the most expensive by profit margins. Insanity. I won't even feel comfortable eating like that even if someone paid for me. I grew up eating cheap and well because people worked hard. I know you have to pay workers decent wages, but I don't think you should charge people $21 for an omelet and $6 for a boiled egg????? I can get an dozen organic, top of the line, happy chicken eggs. I know I'm rambling, but these prices makes me a bit crazy.
But this place is an institution it's been around for like forever and this is nyc not some cheap diner
But......they segment it for you.
this is like the classy, non awful food version of eat the menu
I keep watching all of these Trying Everything videos and I think it's because I really miss restaurants right now (4/02/2020) so thank you Delany for being the hero we never knew we'd need
that zoom in on claire reading the newspaper at the beginning was the best
I haven't even watched the video yet, but I had to come check the comments because how amazing it started. I knew it had to be good.
They have the dynamic of siblings in a very peaceful household. Claire being lawful neutral and Delany is true neutral, no chaotic energy in sight.
You mean ... Brad??? 🤣
@@KimberlyGreen With more than one spoonfuls
How dare you. Claire is lawful good.
@@KimberlyGreen That's exactly what I thought hahaha Brad would absolutely be Chaotic Neutral/Good
@@xsariax Brad is Chaotic Good and Delaney is Chaotic Neutral
Definitely hands down one of my favorite episodes! Thank you Delaney and Claire!
enjoyed seeing these menu items and the reactions to them (as well as the prices). Thank you very much! Bonnie
This is the way Claire deserves to be treated after every episode of Gourmet Makes
Imagine being the finance person for the company, approving expense reports, and you come across a receipt with an eleven dollar grapefruit in it 😅
You don't think they can afford it? Besides- free advertising.
@@kimroberts2704 They can obviously afford it...
To me that sounds like business like usual for a business that's all about food and cooking. The somewhat weird stuff would be ingredients like boxes of ostrich eggs or even highly specialized glazing machines, and the strangest of all would be the dremel tools and whatever other repurposed powertools Claire brings to the test kitchen for Gourmet Makes. Grapefruit for $11? Sounds pretty normal, especially given that they are situated in the heart of a big city with big boy prices and fancy establishments.
1/2 grapefruit
$11 for a grapefruit? On a cooking production? Did you watch the thanksgiving series? How many "organic Grass fed" turkeys did Andy and Brad go through? 15? at what? maybe $40 a pop?
I'm so glad I watch this, Delaney is such a genuine person for real.
omg, i love you guys. this was probably my favorite episode. i really felt like i was sitting at breakfast with you both!
I feel like Delany makes friends very easily. He's really charismatic.
and yet... as soon as I saw him on camera for the first time I knew that *I* was going to have to be the one to murder him. Hey, different strokes for different folks I guess. ;)
Aldous Yelxuh uhhhh wtf
He's fooling everyone except Brad. Brad knows the true Delany.
Delaney wrote this
i gnow guys like delaney and they are always good to be around
Next time, Chris Morocco smells everything on the menu.
Blindfolded
I’d watch that
Claire’s smile and laugh are so contagious I love her 😭
Every time I watch this (yes, its been several viewings) I want to tell Claire and Alex "TAKE SMALLER BITES!" I really love all the episodes in this series! More please!
Claire: Who doesn't love a quiche?
"A fool." - Alex Delany, 2020.
Me (someone who hates eggs): I is fool. 😭
Claire saying she ate steamed artichokes as a kid explains everything
I wish _my_ parents fed me artichokes as a kid.
As a former steamed artichoke eating kid, I don't think I understand this comment.
@@veronicazambrano3906 it's ok, you wouldn't understand.
@@veronicazambrano3906 As a kid who never ate steamed artichoke, I think you are a lucky person.
@@veronicazambrano3906 i honestly don't understand either...
Really enjoyed this episode. It was just a gentle conversation about breakfast between friends.
These are my favorite types of videos, there are not many fine dining restaurants where I live and so it’s really neat to see this type of restaurants.
The way Delaney looks at everyone is like he's in love. He's got those googly lover eyes 😍
he just looks like the sweetest guy! very charming (also, amazing music taste, his playlists are incredible, highly recommend)
Currently crushing on him 😂🥺
I'd tap that in a heartbeat.
Okay but peep Claire at 16:01
Varus J Delaney is one of those special dudes. He listens. That is ultimate attractiveness.
Claire being spoilt for once is joyful to see.
Seeing her comprehend there's 40 dishes to go.. The entertainment factor she brings to the internet
who doesn’t love a quiche?
“me”
a fool
“i am i fool”
My favorite dish was the bowl of coffee. That sounded so satisfying.
This series could literally never end, there are so many friggin places to eat in NY that this series could last 150 years lol
And we would thank them for it !
*Delanys' heart enters the chat*
i would love a special episode where they go to a different city and only eat one single bite at each of all the iconic restaurants in said city!! called perfect bite edition or something
And by the time they cover all the best joints in NY there'll probably be 150 million new best restaurants. So They canjust start over by that point.
@@beep8704 if they do they should definitely hit up Chicago. We got some pretty good food here too.
I’m a simple woman. I see Claire Saffitz, I click.
She's a nice lady
she's a straight boss
I love claire. she bring such a cheerfulness to anything she does
I just realized why I love this so much, you guys remind me of me and my brother pigging out after school.
Just your daily reminder that Claire's mom is named "Sauci". Sauci Saffitz. Great name.
Sauci Saffitz and Sweet n' sour Saffitz
@@Schmodin What is that the name of a new special sandwich at the jewish deli or what?
ItsNeebs half-sour. Her nickname is half-sour. Jesus.
Cale Lambert seriously
The fact that they ate over 40 menu items isn’t even what’s shocking....did anyone peep the prices?! Who’s paying $11 for a grapefruit? And $6 for a freaking boiled egg?!! I JUST WANNA TALK
new york.
simple answer.
I was looking for this comment, everything is outrageously expensive
I came to the comment section to look for other people that are also outraged by an $11 grapefruit.
Isn't it like $6 for fried tomatoes? They better be the best tomatoes I've ever eaten
NYC plus high reputation = high cost as they can afford to be packed for all opening hours.
Delaney and Queen of my heart Claire frombonappetitkitchen perfect combo. Claire can explain french classics to me any day. i stan an educated queen.
One of favorite food/dining videos ever. Sublime.
That Claire introduction made me realize I would indeed die for her
No you wouldn't.
Her wave was so precious
Maybe ease off the parasocial relationship a hair...
Sellinga coerwa maybe ease off the snarky comments a hair.
I’ve seen this video 4 times and I’ve been enthralled each time.
I saw this video when it first came out, and I made a point to have breakfast here when I was in NYC for the first time, last week. Had a cappuccino and eggs Benedict... so good!
We need a show hosted by Brad, Delany and Claire. Watching Claire stress over the chaotic rivalry of Brad and Delany would be amazing aha
Amazing idea!
Omg yes!!!
Pastry arrives.
Garçon: Would you like an explainer?
Claire: Do you know who I am?
(Pours coffee) Garçon means boy...
they reacted to this comment on their newest video lol
lol
I appreciate in every video Delaney's full bites. He goes to town on those bites. Respect.
I love Claire’s reaction @ 23:53 to the hot chocolate with the cognac, my reaction to all alcohol 🤣
“do you need your pastries explained”
Claire: am i a joke to you?
Jenna Deagle 💯
2 scones, 3 donuts, 3 croissants, 2 breads, 1 monkey bread.
As a non-pastry cook Midwesterner, I think I can manage too.
Kinda weird as an English person watching two Americans eating a full England breakfast in a french restaurant in New York.
Can you believe there was no clotted cream and jam with the scones? That hurt to watch
@@Eisofice or even some butter. Anything. I couldn't imagine enjoying a plain scone
Imagine a French person eating chips and watching two Americans choosing the English Breakfast at a French restaurant 😂
@@francemorales7924 Hahaha
Also love the "sunny side up with a bit of fried bottom" Isn't that just a basted egg on that one? Haha
Imagine the cooks faces „each item on the menu, boys!“ 😬😬😬
OMG please DO MORE Episodes. I want Delany to have an episode for everyone of the BA cast
Alex Delaney looks and acts like a boy you'd have known in elementary school
Can't explain beyond that lol
Yo but it makes sennnnnse! I love him 🥰
Exactly
My first best friend was a boy named Paulie. Alex could be his son!
Yeeess, one that you briefly consider having a crush on
And he's good at everything and everyone loves him
alex delany looks at everyone he interacts with as if they are the most important person in the world and it really warms my heart
but to be fair claire really is the most important person in the world so it’s well deserved here
claire continues to be my quarantine crush..lol. These folks have been my youtube binge.. and this restaurant is now on my todo list when Im in NY. as they slow down towards the end lol
I love their energy together. She’s so informative and well spoken and he’s very charismatic. Also, I have a crush on Alex.
Love seeing claire nice and calm, not trying to recreate anything. She deserves it👍🏻
She achieved a positive, no drama, no do-over Gourmet Makes.
This is the reward.
After watching hours upon hours of Claire suffer and be sad on Gourmet Makes, it's nice to see her just eat and relax for 20 minutes. Talk all you want Claire, you earned it!!
So so loved watching these two.
I hope all these restaurants you review are still doing well 🙏🏻
I don’t know about everyone else but I go on holiday for the weather but mainly the food!!
pastry explainer to Claire: i don't even know who you are
Claire: *you will*
