So fun fact about Claire's sushi: According to Molly Ringwald, the script had originally called for Claire to have pasta salad for lunch. It was Ally Sheedy who came up with the idea of her having sushi because it better fit her status as an upper class rich girl, because sushi was more of a luxury foodstuff back in the mid-80's.

Is rice really that difficult for y'all to make where a rice cooker is considered a gift and blessing from the Gods?

[@tobiasreinhold7642]

@@nappa0582 I take it you don't have a rice cooker and thus don't realise the amazing end result it delivers with perfect consistency? It's not about how easy or hard it is to make rice, it's about the rice being way better from a rice cooker than in almost any other method available. Trust me, if you enjoy rice, just buy a cheap [like 20 bucks or so] rice cooker and test it out. Compared to regularly boiling your rice, the result is fluffier, you have more individual grains, they don't clump and it's a more even result. You also don't need to pay precise attention to when it's done for the perfect result, which gives you more time to get extravagant with the other parts of your meal. Lastly, with most other methods, you have a window of about 1-2 minutes in which your rice becomes perfect, with anything longer or shorter reducing the quality by a lot. With a rice cooker, the rice stays in perfect consistency for anywhere between 10-30 minutes after the cooking process is done. It slowly deteriorates in quality after that point, but is still really nice for up to 2 hours. (You can even leave it in the rice cooker overnight and make fried rice with the leftovers.) Seriously, if you haven't experienced the greatness of a rice cooker, go and get one. I was a skeptic myself for years and it was among the best small investments (19,90 €) I've made.

As someone with a peanut allergy, my girlfriend once asked me to make her a pbj because she had to run to class.

She said it was the single saddest looking pbj she'd ever seen but she ate it anyway because she loved me.

[@Artofficial1986]

Cool story

[@KairuHakubi]

I guess as long as the bread was very soft and the jelly was also in a very thin layer, that could work in an 'english cucumber sandwich' kinda way. just not as a meal, where the peanut butter is basically standing in for meat with the jelly standing in for tomatoes and lettuce and stuff.

Yes!

[@onionluigi8292]

yes

[@Werewolf_Korra]

Only if he rubs his arms with butter like Jon does.

[@fanofpink]

Ooh this one yes.

[@Werewolf_Korra]

The one problem is he's done Thanksgiving meals so much.

[@simakingyt]

When he said “Save 50% or more” I instantly thought “on car insurance”

[@captainm7722]

I have waited patiently for this episode since the beginning of this channel. Thank you Andy for finally covering one of my all-time favorite movies!

[@GetMeAReubenSandwich]

I'd be curious to know what the cast of the film thinks of your takes on their character's lunches.

[@DJ-fn3jm]

The meat in Allison's sandwich was NOT mortadella. It was Olive Loaf.

[@drewsteele8608]

My only youtube comment ever was on October 16, 2018 on the King of the Hill Special asking Babish to Do the lunch from Breakfast Club. Im glad he finally took my advice.

[@ilznidiotic]

Oh, man. I have been waiting for this since year one of the show! Does not disappoint.

[@LOTD207]

No one can grace us all with a brighter sunshine smile than this man when gadgets work.

[@aspect9248]

Ur welcome for the like

[@Bluetartinator8]

Next week please make Jake's Freedom Feast from Brooklyn Nine-Nine before Thanksgiving

[@ReksratYTB]

I've tried a version of the french toast you made with frosted flakes and it's divine.

[@amoth7757]

Every show needs a breakfast club episode, binging with babish is no exception!

[@benbalko2656]

If you would watch Ordinary Sausage’s “should you buy it” you would be a savant in sushi and the technology necessary to make it

[@carterf8785]

I miss should you buy it

[@changsiah2]

although that I really just want to collab with him

[@BugsyFoga]

That scene was always a favorite of mine, anyone else?

[@madamnicknack]

Hi Andrew, you got me smiling the whole video. This was sooooooooo much fun. One of my fav movies. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😘

Breakfast Club kids: utterly bizarre cereal and butter sandwich with extra sugar Allison, an intellectual: deconstructed French toast

[@michael_scar]

We need a Big Poppa T-bone steak, cheese eggs, Welch's Grape

[@lisx1070]

Bro, You rock! But this time You missed: Jays potato chips! Not Lays! The bread all would have been Wonder Bread, or akin. The jelly would have been Welch's grape, for sure! And The peanut butter would have been something along the lines of smooth Peter Pan brand

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I also think minestrone was an odd choice. Just something like chicken soup would have fit better with the average suburban household vibe.

[@MHahn-bg7cu]

Thank you. Haven't seen the movie in ages. Have to look for it soon

[@basicchannel3234]

A delicious banquet to make before Thanksgiving is all the different types of curry from Pokemon Sword and Shield video game

[@yarnjplays2028]

CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE FINALLY DOING SOMETHING FROM ONE OF MY FAVE MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!! EEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!

[@wendybowman5871]

And now I need to rewatch again!

[@maalim0991]

Loved the creative French toast coating! gives me a lot of ideas.. Nice episode, Mr. Babish.

[@ivycarnivora]

I can quote this entire movie and I’m proud of that

[@huibuh283]

was anybody else kinda upset, that he cooked the rice on the "white" and not the "sushi" setting?

[@alaytheaherr]

i didn't even notice but i DID notice he did not wash the rice! 😂😂😂

[@garyv83]

I think the entire sushi bit was just an excuse for a future Botched episode. But you won't hear me complaining.

[@chloacewall1346]

@@alaytheaherr He did wash it! He said "thoroughly washed" he just didn't show it on camera haha

HD is not Andy's friend.

[@magic7ball460]

Pb&j, especially when packed for lunch, should be prepared with peanut butter on both slices of bread and jelly in the middle. This prevents the jelly from soaking into the bread after several hours in a lunch box.

[@KP-ev8by]

Theres a breakfast restaurant in Lansing, MI called the Golden Harvest that actually serves capn crunch enscrusted french toast sometimes. That restaurant is amazing. Best breakfast I've EVER had.

[@MetFreak42]

Most the time I felt even more out of place in my HS, because I had the aesthetic of Bender, with the Parents/home life of Brian. And no lunch in Saturday morning detension.

[@pianofluteflute]

I was laughing throughout this whole episode. also didn't hurt that I absolutely love the Breakfast Club!

[@marleymeow1701]

OH MY GOSH! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS EPISODE! I searched it up when I first saw your channel but I couldn’t find it. Breakfast club is my favourite movie ever! Thank you Babish!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

I'm surprised it took him this long to think to make this episode.

[@tessat338]

I enjoyed this WAY more than I expected. It was really charming!

[@MetaMarcy21]

I always thought Allison’s sandwich contained olive loaf

[@lauracatherine5129]

With the holidays coming up, I'd love to see a recreation of the potluck from the Ted Lasso Christmas episode. It'd definitely be a challenge (jollof with chicken, jollof with goat meat, ponche with tequila, foie gras, champagne, fancy stinky cheese, fried chicken, mulled wine, mince pies, cheese and crackers, and pigs in blankets are all mentioned by name, and you can also see more dishes like poutine, brussels sprouts, turkey, and Yorkshire puddings on the dining table/surfboard/pool table at one point), but what are the holidays for if not cooking enough to feed a team of professional athletes?

[@Bdhacker101]

Words aren't enough to express how long i've waited for this episode!

[@shaesghostboo]

I LOVE the sushi pooper. Been using one for over a year now. I put cooked chicken and sweet potato strips in mine instead of raw fish. Miso paste makes a great seasoning for the chicken and sweet potato. 😘🤤👍

[@robobeetlepanzer]

Andrew, to himself whilst planning this video: I'm picking out a thermos for you...

[@NekoChanSenpai]

😎👉👉

[@pipesandsalamis4322]

I think the homemade sushi is almost the best lunch a teenager could bring to school, only surpassed by a swiss fondue.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Fun fact about myself: I only ever saw the X-Play parody well before I watched the movie itself, so imagine my relief when the cast *doesn't* OD on a bunch of drugs at the end.

[@violetqueen450]

What a great concept! I love that Babish can say I don't know what I'm doing y'all but let's see how it turns out!

[@Neoxon619]

Weird, I thought you would’ve done this by now. Better late than never, and of course it’s quality content & food.
