Inés's nachos look absolutely phenomenal.

[@MrRywee123]

I’d say she enjoys them by the look of her

[@PreppyHorror]

Yes, you beat my comment. Her nachos look freakin amazing!

[@ecmphg]

@@MrRywee123Sounds like you don't know that most people read comments like yours and think about how mentally degraded and unloved you must've been your whole 11 years of life. Hope that's embarrassing for you one day.

[@Solarislun]

[@Narra0002]

Yep

[@carmensmithaguirre3049]

Inés's nachos are next level. Like I want to make them right now.

dude using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream is lucky I can't reach through the phone

[@romanzaporozhets4237]

Yess

[@bidhrohi12]

She's the only one who made acceptable nachos. Wonton wraps? Potato chips? WHY?

[@chloeycloey2329]

Love Inés, already her corn dog recipe looked great and her nachos didn't disappointed. I also liked her explanations and how at ease/natural she comes across.

[@carltoningram3773]

wow love the way Hana tilts the pan to show us what to look for as we're making her method. She's a great addition!

[@Madelasha]

I was waiting for the manchego and Inés didn't disappoint. Birria nachos sound amazing!

[@janethope]

More Inés please! Love what she’s bringing to the test kitchen

[@HiCallMeRusty]

This is my first time watching Bon Appétit since a majority of the hosts left. I was just very unsure of the new faces. I’m happy to have returned to see these new personalities and the recipes and passion they bring. I hope they get chances to have their own shows, so we can see more and more of their personalities.

[@aaronzinman6483]

Most of them don't have the stage presence or chemistry with each other the old gang used to. They maybe great chefs, but BA's secret was that it heavily relied on interpersonal interactions. One day maybe. At least Chef Harold brings that old BA charm to the new crew.

[@zoejeremy9671]

Save yourself. They're all boring with the exception of Brad

[@tinybadastronaut]

I'm here (BA in general) for Brad, Chris, and Andre!

[@jamescollier3]

Yeah, The Left called and said, "Glad we could fix the old situation for you."

[@sevensabrina]

@@jamescollier3 it's interesting you blame "The Left" when an alternate lesson is that Conde Naste could have treated their talent properly.

[@CheeseduckClaire]

"Nachos can be anything. Follow your dreams." is exactly the kind of energy I love coming out of the BA test kitchen.

[@Coldpizzaslice5]

Nothing can beat Inés' birria nachos. Simply amazing.

[@CBD7069..]

Love that Rachel used store bought rotisserie chicken and kept the skin on

[@jacquiejeanconway7541]

Special shout out to the editors! The "mmm" behind Kendra each time was fantastic. Please continue to be amazing!

[@chunkukuna]

More Ines, more Ines! Great presence, great explanations/cooking tips and the recipe sounds delicious! I appreciate Rachel’s no nonsense approach too!

[@jazpeitia06]

Happy to see Ines coming through! I've always saw her in the back with that fire awesome hair and now seen her thriving is fantastic. I love her recipes so far. More opportunity for her please.

[@cailinwilson5460]

I couldn’t stop thinking about the birria nachos and I went to the comments to make sure everyone was on the same page. Inés rules. ❤

[@maluraq]

I have to strongly recommend baking the nachos alone until hot before putting toppings on, it really helps with heat distribution and not getting them soggy.

[@buffysummerss]

Inés's Birria nachos looked next level

[@lionlover10]

Love the vegetarian options with Hana and Chris! Can't wait to try both

[@arishasajid6430]

I love how consistently chaotic Brad and his recipes are LMAO

[@badassmillz_]

Rachel is a real one with El Yucateco hot sauce ! I have 3 flavors in my pantry. THE BEST

[@lisca2866]

Ines wins hands down!! Wow!! Can you ship those please?!? Great job!

[@RealGuysEatRealPies]

Time to assemble the Infinity Nachos with Chris’s beans, Inés’ birria, and Hana’s queso with an alka-seltzer chaser. Cheers!

[@rems51]

Birria deserves a video of its own

[@Roscoe_357]

Ines Anguiano's Birria Nachos Look Flame.. Get Some More Gente Up In Here Bon Appétit..

A huge THANK YOU! to the editors who cut out the audio of the chefs crunching into their chips. Signed, Everyone with misophonia watching this video

[@Amirra.reflects]

Hana has really taught me something with the homemade Queso!! I can’t wait to try this out!!

[@joshyoung4960]

Chris, yes! Multi layered is key. The ingredients have to be evenly distributed through the layers. If my wife wasn’t sleeping next to me, she’d be super hyped about those refried beans. Going to have to try them soon.

[@melaniev4390]

I don't understand the sour cream aversions. Love sour cream! 😁 The birria nachos look aaaaahmazing.

[@SilverReviews]

not as healthy and more additives, so it makes sense if someone wants to avoid it

[@HungUpOnADream1122]

@@SilverReviews you’re eating nachos… I don’t think people are avoiding sour cream for that reason while eating nachos lol

[@SilverReviews]

@@HungUpOnADream1122 I don't do it, it's just the rationale. And you can make healthy nachos, it's not like you can't have simple ingredient tortilla chips and Greek yoghurt with a fresh cheese. A tasty snack doesn't need to have a shitload of additives. It's not that bizarre of a concept.

[@FatalLightAwareness]

We can’t get thru that much sour cream, but we always have whole milk yogurt in the fridge. So yeah done this forever.

[@nataliajimenez1870]

Yeah, yogurt and sour cream are not equivalent. I'm sure if someone said they used creme fraiche they wouldn't look down on it

[@bencedravecz9616]

I'd like to see more of Inés's cooking

[@GlobalNotes]

I would definitely do a hybrid of the gochujang and the birria

[@camillecarlson3858]

Not as happy about being melted is my new favorite culinary catchphrase.

[@MtnLife-sv9fu]

We need more episodes with Brad. The man.

[@PizzaHomie]

I agree but his nachos looks the least delicious out of the bunch this time

[@lbanderson40]

I am weary with how diluted the channel is now. It was once Brad and 7 other people I knew. Now it’s 50 chefs I don’t have a clue about a Brad once every 2 months. Just change the name and go ahead an let Brad do what he wants. He hates being on this series now. It’s like pulling teeth.

[@cpmc5400]

I do not like refried beans but I gottta say those nachos yummy.

[@Javier-rg8vp]

Ines won my heart with the birria. So delicious. I love it in tacos, in my burrito or even just with rice and beans.

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

Hana's may be a bit simpler than the others, perhaps a bit plain, but I would definitely give that gochujang cheese sauce a try. I would add some black beans to give it another layer of flavor and texture, and maybe some diced red pimientos.

[@katherineknowles1659]

This is the first Bon Appetit vid I’ve watched since 2021. All the joy is missing.

[@kimmysanna5437]

Inés’s birria nachos are NEXT LEVEL!! Need more videos of her amazing cooking & recipes!

@20:15 Whenever I make cheese sauce, it does get stiff after awhile. Will use evap milk next time. Thanks!

OMG....where has this episode been all my life!?!? Ines- you knocked it outta the park on this one....bravo!!

[@b_uppy]

Thank you for including a queso sauce. Absolutely love nachos. My nachos never have beans but definitely have shredded meat.

[@nathaneastmure]

Those birria tacos stole the show! Inés always hits it out of the park!

[@maddie.hatterx]

Did Brad at 12:44 taste the raisins and say "They taste...like um... like a raisin"?? AHAHA

[@Rodviet]

Anything Kendra makes always looks absolutely delicious.

[@kaiju_k5042]

Yeah I love how she always breaks the rules a little bit and gets super creative, but she also knows what the rules are. I will have to try her nachos with potato chips, looks awesome.

OH DEAR GOD INES IS THE GODDESS OF NACHOS

[@galaxy_mosaic3587]

I tried Rachel's nachos (chipotle chicken). it was delicious. I think that chipotle cream sauce made a lot of difference. also I regret that I should have bought the grated cheese rather than trying to do it myself (my box grater is packed away somewhere). I never order nachos but my mom loves them and she enjoyed this dish

[@usmcplu]

Missed opportunity to call them Empanachos.

[@sergiorodriguez747]

And Hanas queso seems so good!

I admit, I came for Chris and Brad, but I stayed for Ines... Her recipe was the most imaginably delicious. More Ines!

Brad put a teaspoon of cheese on NACHOS. I think this is the only time he's disappointed me.

Ha ha you guys are awesome. I love how you must’ve had some kind of a meeting in the background this week and said oh everybody use the word allium somewhere in your bit. We’re trying to get people to use the word allium. Last week the word was vegetal. Great looking nachos so many great ideas thanks
