Man, Bon Appétit does everything right that Food Network does wrong. Food Network focuses so hard on cut-throat reality competition shows and BS disingenuous instructional cooking shows (I'm looking at you Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis...). Bon Appétit is full of *genuinely* warm, wholesome personalities like Carla, Brad, Claire (and everybody else) that make the food they showcase fun, accessible and friendly. Even the editing on Bon Appétit is good and wholesome! Keep up the excellent work, BA. Please never follow in Food Network's footsteps...

[@TheSirjull891]

So right.

[@Daylan_S]

I hope they never do, and please stay on KZbin!!

[@nancydrew2020]

I followed Bobby Flay's pizza dough recipe and it was disgusting, used way too much yeast, and Paula Dean with her racist butter. Food network is full of dumb dumbs.

I love how al roker not only keeps up but banters and makes jokes as well. I feel like the talk shoe background helps a lot with that.

He was on a news show, not a shoe show. 🤣

[@Adam-qr3hc]

Yea it’s called “TODAY” it’s on NBC.

[@ReunionMana]

That moment where Carla finished up cutting her peppercorns and started moving onto the next thing but Al was still chopping so he took over to buy himself time. Pure talk show host magic.

[@--Paws--]

Roker is really good, he knows what he's doing. He should do a segment again.

[@matt-stam]

He seems much better then Carla tbh

[@TheCheat_1337]

You can tell from the way that he chops the shallots that he's not quite a pro like Carla, but in every other respect he's good.

the only thing seared in this vid is rusty
