Binging with Babish Gets a Tattoo While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones

This is how

wings

are made, are you kidding me? They are dry, how many weeks did you cook them? Are disgusting. I'm thinking it's a well-cooked chicken wing. This is the worst cuisine in America. Hello, what's up guys? Welcome again. for the hot

ones

, you're probably confused, you're watching first, we feast, but after watching Mr. Ramsay break down the cold, dry

wings

served on the show, Sean called me and asked me to make the wings for my own appearance, which is like cleaning. weapon for your own execution, but if we're going to do this, we might as well do it right, so to keep the wings crispy and moist on their journey from Soho to downtown, I decided to go with a low-temperature frying method Which is more like Confit First, the wings are fried at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, then removed, allowed to drain, refrigerated overnight, and fried again this time at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.

This produces the crispiest, juiciest wings I have ever tasted and they should stay that way. long after they've been doused in poisonous sauce, here we go, two dozen ultra-crispy wings ready for transport, let's see if I have what it takes to be

spicy

, hey, what's happening everyone at the party banquet first week? I'm Shawn. Evans and you're watching Hot Ones, it's the show with hot questions and even hotter wings, and today we're joined by Andrew Ray. You know him from his extremely popular cooking channel, Binding with Babish, where he prepares iconic dishes inspired by television and movies. also has a new cookbook on the way it's called

binging

with

babish

100 recipes recreated from your favorite tv shows and movies with a trailer by john favreau and a blurb from me, andrew rae, welcome to the show, thanks for having me, man, we usually ask the guests. how they handle

spicy

, but I think it's fair with you that we ask if there is any TV or movie scene involving hot sauce that you think is the best of all time, not hot sauce per se, but from uh uh, the Simpsons, Uh, Homer. simpson trying to mess with something called a Guatemalan madness pepper, which is a pepper that is a candle, I remember that well, yeah, yeah, so he drinks a candle to protect his mouth from the spiciness, but it still

gets

in his stomach and it still ruins it, but I thought it was a brilliant tactic to just cover your mouth and wax.

I wish I could do something like that hmm, there are some interesting flavors in there that are fun, so it's clear you're a big movie and TV fan. Know that Fraser's obsession runs deep and it's impossible to visit his apartment these days without seeing a screening of In the Spider-verse pound for pound what do you think is the best TV or movie when it comes to food references? Oh, he has to be a chef. It was one of the first episodes I did was Chef's Isla Olio pasta and then he came on my show and we made chocolate lava cakes and I also made the Cuban sandwiches which were amazing, this mojo marinated pork, but most of all.

The beautiful food in that movie is about togetherness and the unifying power that food can have and it's a movie that really loves food more than most movies about food that big night that's like it's heaven. food and then of course. Another fascinating byproduct of your channel is that it serves as a litmus test for some of the most passionate cult fans on the Internet. When you think about the videos you've made, they stand out, it seems like the Spongebob stuff always floats towards the end. top oh yeah, anything with spongebob in the title is going to trend, he's going to skyrocket because he has a gigantic and fervent fan base, of which I am one.

I grew up watching SpongeBob SquarePants, it's an old enough show that I was like 11 years old when that show came out. I think this is where fandom lives, in the food of fiction and sometimes fandom, especially when you make these deep pop culture references. I imagine sometimes facts are fact-checked by nerds who are very interested in this stuff. Have you ever been to the hot? water with fans of a particular movie or tv show, not really fans, I get more in trouble with food lovers, people you know say oh you didn't make that pizza right or you didn't make this right like people do it. a lot to say about what I did wrong and, you know, I try to make it as instructive as possible, but I'm learning along with the audience, so it's like this is a learning experience for both of us.

Skinny habanero hot sauce means it's like low calorie, yeah okay, sorry I'm not trying to do it with your brands here, but it's funny that it's a skinny habanero hot sauce. All hot sauces are pretty thin, so when I see hot sauce fans in the wild, I have certain questions. that I can reasonably count on, you know, people like what's the best interview of all time or how your butt is. You know those things I can count on, so here in this wing I think it's important to tell you some of the frequently asked questions about

babish

what video is.

Probably the hardest one to do was the second episode, which was early, a 14 hour process, right, yeah, wow, how do you always know all these crazy little facts? Wow, I just got dizzy which was weird, I should. I haven't done it now, I just heard it when I said yes. I spent 14 hours making tempano, which is what I call a big kinky lasagna, it's like 10 different layers of pasta, meatballs, eggs, cheese, sauce and everything. kind of good stuff is from the big night and I'll never do it again I promise you that's the most you've dropped trying to get rare ingredients for an expensive meal okay, that's probably Red Dead's redemption, which is more recent, I dressed up as a cowboy and ordered really genuine bear meat, like they said free-range bear meat, but that episode generated at least a thousand dollars for the costume and for the exotic meats and for the store and for the damage I did to my car . trying to drive an audi a4 in the middle of the forest everyone always says this is the tastiest let's see now you know for sure it was good so as we mentioned it recreates dishes from tv and movies and i know that comes from a genuine place of curiosity, well I think it's only fair that we do one that's inspired by a spicy scene and we did a little research and there's one that I think we can do right here on this table and easy, are you familiar with it? wake up juice back to the future three future three yeah back to the future three when doc brown makes a drink he passes out and then they make some wake up juice to wake him up boom andrew you always know these little facts well come on bring out the setting on stage oh my god, oh that's your new catchphrase, oh my god how about Chris with the forearm strength to bring this out?

Wow, yeah, how much is it not easy? Yeah, that's not a joke, I can lift it. I'm sitting right, so what I think is easy about this is that it just involves throwing things into a glass. This has to be one of the easiest recreations, so just pour it with reckless pickle juice and hot sauce at the same time. time, if I remember correctly, I might be wrong, sorry, okay, some hot sauce, pickle juice, here we go, oh, pretty noises, you guys get that little asmr, some lazy asmr for you , there you have it, all good, moonshine, I think it was Next, I definitely poured what I thought was a Bloody Mary mix, but they obviously didn't have that in 18 1885.

Oh, did I get it right? Give him a small mixer that looks like this, has the right color and consistency. It has things. floating in it doesn't look too bad, looks like a fancy Bloody Mary, yeah, except without vodka, vodka anyone? Oh wait, there's whiskey in there, what am I saying? Yes, we have to stay true to art after you. shine okay that'll cure what else yeah it's definitely some wake up juice yeah let's see what's going on here hit that wake up just go check everything real quick the best part without a doubt is the classic hot sauce before preparing it. your full time career making Homer Simpson moon waffles I know you worked as a graphic artist you know sometimes when people talk about taking that leap they always give advice like it's some kind of reckless decision like you should just say like do it and jump yeah , I think that for the vast majority of people making bold but measured decisions is the way to go.

I did not think. I thought about it all the time as I looked back. I was reckless. I left my job. I sell everything. I was. to New York like four roommates trying to let you know and I look back and obviously things worked out pretty well, but I look back all the time and I think it was stupid, you know, there's a lot of balls. that had to bounce my way in order to break even and in order for it to make sense when I moved here I sold my car out of work, got two thousand dollars for it and used, you know, 1500 of that for a month's rent and something in Park Slope and uh, I think if you really believe in yourself and what you're doing, there will be a moment where you think this is a big risk, but this is the one that I know could potentially change everything, so stay alert and, you know, be cautious, but be a little bold, be a little crazy, those scallions translate to the spicy, the spicy, oh, okay, I get it, I get it. seven years of spanish and that didn't absorb anything wow that's good g willippers where do i buy this, whatever you want andrew i got you bro, well you already sent me a couple of these bottles for christmas so thanks , I have more. them for you today, okay Andrew, I have a little surprise for you in this wing, so we reached out to some of our mutual Internet friends and asked them if they had any questions for you, Andrew Ray. here's a new segment that we call youtubers ask questions to other youtubers, that's a good guess, it's a segment that we call questions from famous youtubers that we both know, so what we're going to do is show you On the monitor first we have an attractive student and friend of the brand and he has a very important question for you, okay, okay, real quick, I want to know what is the number one most underrated and the number one most overrated kitchen appliance. great question, thanks marcus brandley, the most underrated is a cutting board, a big cutting board like 24 by 18, like you know a big huge work surface that you can own and you know if you're cutting carrots, it's not They will fall. and rolling under the refrigerator and disappearing for the rest of your life and the most overrated kitchen appliance is the one that does it all or the one that does it all for you because it's never as good as something you make yourself. some gadget that you hit to make it chop onions, it will never chop onions as well as you or as fast as you can, if you practice a little, once you get it right, you will be much faster than some toy that is trying to do it for you, next we have our friend Brad Leone, who was actually driving down the highway, stopped at the truck stop, said he could hit you with this one, thanks for that.

Hey Sean calling from a Massachusetts truck stop has a question for the old baby

while

he's sw

eating

like a beanbag

eating

those hot

ones

you're giving them yeah baby so you know what your global reach is using YouTube what effects positives you want to have. in the viewers, uh, my goal is the same as yours, brad, which is to make people cook like you know he entertains

while

he informs and that's like the best thing you could do on YouTube is something that has utility, something that entertains and something like that. inspires and that's exactly what it does and that's exactly what I want to do I want people to cook well one more for you Andrew and this is from rhett hey bretton link who's actually taking a break from his vacation just to hit you oh Oh my gosh, it looks like it has a beautiful ocean behind it, hey Andrew, it's rhett, I trust you're not embarrassing yourself, but my only advice to get through this is to absorb the energy from one wing to get over the next and By the time you get there By the end, you will presumably have absorbed all the energy from all the wings, that's the key.

And the only question I have for you is what is the question you get asked most often that you hate answering? You're welcome, good luck and good luck, that's a question from a guy who's been famous for a long time like that, um it has to be what does babish mean, uh, because I've answered it a billion times and we'll answer it, we'll answer it. it's here hopefully I'll do it I'll do it for you you hate answering it you know what you're a niche West Wing character you're absolutely right how many West Wing episodes three eight hmm that's good I'm I don't give them anything to dun dun except that every time we make the first sauce.

We recently did an episode of the hamburger show with our friend Alvin, where they tried to pass themselves off as a cook at his restaurant, the usual thing? a new respect for the line cooks who went through that experience, no, because they alreadyI had a lot of respect for the wine chefs who went through that experience. It takes a certain type of person to work in a professional kitchen and I have nothing but admiration for that because It escapes me, I definitely deviate from the title of chef because I haven't earned it. I am a home cook who has a camera and knows how to film things very well.

I will say that I am a much better editor than I am a cook. uh so I make things look good and I make it look easy but uh I'm not a chef and you don't deserve the next one is Trinidad Scorpion okay that's the first one that's got a little heat that's fun okay , I'm so afraid of bombing, oh my God, well, don't get ahead of yourself, okay, sorry, don. Don't get ahead of yourself, don't go crazy, we have other things to deal with, here we go, so I don't think I'm wrong when I say that you are a man who enjoys the good things in life.

I know you feel most comfortable when you have a full glass of glenfiddich or a gold Daytona on your wrist or the rumble of a V8 engine beneath your gut. You're playing with the stock market. What's in the bag? So I have. I have a couple of tricks here and remember how I talked about Homer Simpson lighting or drinking a candle. Well, I got this candle from a sex shop, so you know it's good and, oh, here we go. I'm going to melt it because I have every intention. to pour a little wax on my tongue to protect myself from this genie.

I tried it before my friend in college, like everyone's roommates in college, had a bottle hanging around in his refrigerator and I touched a little bit with a toothpick and ran out and like sprayed my mouth with a hose I I was young I was being theatrical but uh I was I was trash hey welcome to my world so I like how you are like I was young I was being theatrical and then now you're lighting a candle like you've grown up I didn't say change what's the best whiskey for calling a bartender when asked what you want the old-fashioned way, because of how widely available it is and because it's cool. cocktails, but I drink it neat.

Angel Envy is one of my favorites. Very complex but simple and sweet. It's a great American whiskey. I love it both alone and in a cocktail. Yes, I'm ready to move on, but. I want to protect my tongue from this, okay, so where did my spoon go? Can I have it? Oh, here it is, so I'm going to do it. I'm going to take a page from Homer Simpson's book. First I'm going to put myself a little under the skin like I've been a bad boy, let's see how it feels, okay, but I mean, I feel disciplined and this is taking a turn, the guys said you want to try new things, that's it. what I'm here because I like this because you know you always wash dishes from TV and movies, it's in my beard, okay, so wax to cover the throat, okay, let's see what happens.

Is this trap? Are people going to call me out for cheating? Honestly, it's never happened before. I also swallowed it like it was gone and it may not help you. I don't think it's going to work. You know, I just drink wax from this sex candle and then eat the bomb chicken wing. Know? someone's in the comments right now, they say that's cheating anyway, you make it sound weird when you say it like that, oh yeah, oh yeah, it's disgusting, it tastes bad, but no, no, you're eating more, oh, the bomb. things are vile ah bringing back memories yes from college and trying to impress my friends did I just have hiccups?

I haven't had hiccups in like seven years. I'm having hiccups, I swear I've had hiccups for like seven years. This is magical to me, right? crying, listen, I'm not immune to it, you know, I'm just here fighting, that's very exciting, that's very exciting for me, I haven't had hiccups in a long time, this is great, I'm not, I'm not. having control of it, it's very exciting anyway, well, speaking of exciting, you know, I think one of your most underrated projects in my opinion is bedtime with babish, yes, where you would use your calming and soothing voice, you would just read public domain stories and help put people on. to sleep you're making me feel so much better about myself something happened oh no, did you touch your eyes?

No, but can I get a napkin? I did it. I got some sauce in my eye. oh no, let's take a five minute break. Yeah, oh, that man. I feel like my mouth is swelling oh who has my epipen? I'm kidding so now you want me to read bedtime stories or something so I pulled out a passage from the corduroy rabbit we have an asmr microphone ok bedtime with babish I'm a pro I can do this sorry good nights and welcome to bedtime with babish tonight about the hot ones i will be reading a passage from the corduroy rabbit by hans flergenstocken once upon a time there was a corduroy rabbit and at first he was really splendid his his coat had brown and white spots, he had whiskers of real thread and her ears were lined with pink satin;

There were other things in the stocking: nuts and oranges and a toy motor and chocolate almonds and a mechanical mouse and then there was a big fight with tissue paper. and unwrapped the packages and in the excitement of looking at all the new gifts, the velveteen rabbit was forgotten. Next, you're ready for this, yeah, the plate of chocolate that you put on your butt, pepper company, that's fun, so you have a very close and distinctive connection with YouTube. with your fans and there are a million stupid articles out there on how to build a youtube audience with analytics and SEO keyword optimization or whatever.

Do you have any real practical advice when it comes to how to build and energize a loyal fan base? Sorry, I feel like you're launching into a burp here, you can do whatever you want. I feel like, um, the advice, so many people come up to you and ask you, how do I grow my channel brands? Come and ask, do you know how we grow? our channel and the advice I want to give but never do is that you need to do something really good, especially nowadays the world is so full of so much content and it's amazing that anyone can reach millions of people with their cell phone if they do it. they do and say it. the right thing, but that's the key: you have to do and say the right thing and that might mean the right thing to the audience, so that might be the right thing to you.

Oh, I hope the microphone picked up that strange body sound you hear. on give me a proper touch but shawn like a touch here we go it's a shawn like that oh my stomach hurts more than my mouth honestly that's actually a worse place to be. I've been there, I've got a rash on my eye, my lips are on fire like I'd rather get smoked all over my face than have my stomach do backflips yeah oh okay here we go cheers okay Andrew Ray, here we are, at the end of our spicy chicken wing journey, very late if you ask me and I think it was so special that we should immortalize it forever and ever.

How do you suggest we do that? Sean, well, we talked about it beforehand because we did it, but now it's the moment of truth, there's no turning back, are you ready to do this? There, I'm so happy I was able to finish the wings, honestly, let's do this, come on, okay, for Randy, on Legal.
