Carla seems like everyone's favorite funny aunt

[@QuasarPsychosis]

Carla is gorgeous. I have a crush on her.

[@jeffharper6259]

The favorite funny aunt who can cook/bake/etc. and to this 58 year old is still a very attractive woman. Just saying :P

[@littlebiglsteele4158]

yo whats the god rolled lobster?

[@sfowler1017]

She actually reminds me a lot of my favorite aunt. (Who is Puerto Rican and an *amazing* cook of all things Italian.)

[@nusker]

Weird seeing a destiny KZbinr that I watch comment on a food channel that I also watch 😁

[@spinpuff00]

Alessia is such a sweetheart, absolutely loved seeing her in a BA video!! Please bring her back in the future.

[@mtl10]

I think Carla has gotten better at describing what she's doing since she started this series

[@ThatDonovanKid]

And using her hearing to know what's going on behind her 😂

[@connorjosh]

I liked when she didn’t give as much instruction. Makes it so the people have more chance to struggle or create something weird or different.

I like these challenges a lot, because I feel like they give so much more detail about how to make and actually put together the dish then the other videos. She’s explaining so much more and it actually helps so much when trying to re-create the video at home!

I love Alessia her facial expressions through this made me laugh but i loved it and when she used the mallet i was like yes! Agression time lol. When she said "this is where i lose a finger" lol i love her sense of humor

[@lindsayleitner8750]

Awe I love Carla, she's so thorough and good at explaining things (and sweet) and Alessia is so cute! 10/10 would want Carla to teach me over anyone else.

[@ciwte]

alessia saying "im weak" at 2:04 is a mood

[@lilix9674]

and then saying she's too strong later at 6:00 is also a mood

[@miniciominiciominicio]

not that i would try but if i had to take down a lobster i’m pretty sure i could do it now after carla’s instructions. those were super clear! of course, we have the benefit of watching carla at the same time as hearing her instructions.

How so lmaoo..

[@boogaoogagooba]

what?

[@Devon-tc2sx]

You should try the challenge where someone picks the ingredients and an amateur has to cook a meal using them. Binging with Babish did this and I think it would be interesting to see how it would turn out if someone who has little cooking experience went through with this challenge.

[@rickyricardo9710]

so like Chopped meets Worst Cooks in America?

[@Devon-tc2sx]

@@rickyricardo9710 Ah, is that what it's called? Sorry, I didn't know since I hardly watch American shows other than KZbinrs and Masterchef. But yes, it could work out, to be honest.

[@RealLuckless]

SortedFood does a fun challenge where they gather a bunch of stuff in a kitchen, set a theme, and then take turns cooking without any communication between each other. Makes for a very fun show.

This is unreal I literally saw Alessia a few days ago in my school (the school she came from) doing like an autobiography thing and my friends got to take pictures with her.. she so inspiring she came from the same place I’m coming from and even shared my love for art, my art teacher told me she taught her.

Alessia is that girl in your school who you want to have a sleepover with while you look over magazines for hair styles and talk about the long life debate "Does he like me or is he just being nice?"

[@SenorEscaso]

This made me realize that I've never seen Alessia in interviews or anything. She's cute as hell.

[@Nina-856]

I think this one was my favorite out of the ones I'd watched. The chef was very patient and was not so rushed. Alessia did great! Proud of her.

Its you. Carla is pure breed italian. The other is a muggle blood. 1/4 black, 3/4 south american if i was to guess.

Tomalley is basically the lobster's version of a liver/pancreas. Lots of people it eat like a pate, although during red tide it can be dangerous because they'll be full of toxins.
