I made my entire thanksgiving out of recipes on this video. Ty Babish, this TG was my first introduction to my GF's family, and I made a delicious first impression.

[@Itsjustbeans_]

Awesome homie.

[@JunkieRemix]

I wonder if there’s enough Christmas recipes to do this for next month

[@LittleCheebs]

guaranteed

[@melissamenchaca9121]

I forgot I was watching the same episode and was wondering why two different Babishes had the exact same top comment

[@hexzerone7034]

There has to be

[@BluntlySpeaking.V]

Don’t forget the cookies and hot chocolate 😬🎄

[@s0ne01]

You got the whole world bud

[@BugsyFoga]

The thanksgiving cinematic recipe collection

[@michaelmayhem350]

Hopefully he updates it with next week's episode

[@TheMapleCandle]

I’ve been going back and watching each of these videos to perfect my Thanksgiving recipes each year. So glad I can have them all in one spot now!

[@aroad2788]

I do this every year as well. The pie crust from his pie video is the only one that has worked for me. Of course adapted to my area. We have a lot of humidity

[@CharisseKenionYT]

The comfort content I didn't know I needed. I live in the UK where thanksgiving is not a thing but saving this for Christmas!

[@thelastword1414]

Hey Andrew, I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year and cooking for 7+ people. I'm off to face the hoards and gather my ingredients for our dinner today, and this is exactly what I needed for some inspo and to get into the Thanksgiving spirit. You're the best.

[@insertcreativityhere7747]

Pro tip: watch this while eating mac and cheese, idk why but this video improved it tenfold

[@lilyraindancer5240]

I made a carrot souffle once for thanksgiving and my grandmother loved it so much that she now REQUIRES me to bring it for both Thanksgiving and Christmas every year otherwise she gets upset with me 😂😂😂.

[@bubbly990]

Sometimes watching one Babish episode by itself can be a bit intimidating, more entertainment than inspiration, because you're so competent and there's so much to do to put a successful Thanksgiving together. But watching this marathon all together, the common threads between the episodes become clearer, and watching you do variations on the same theme over and over is weirdly confidence-boosting. It brings the huge and significant Thanksgiving Dinner down to, well, just food. Thanks for that; it means a lot.

[@darlordvader]

Also keep in mind that as competent as Babish is, as intimidating as some of his stuff can look, he makes mistakes just like we do 😅 if something comes out slightly wrong treat it as a learning experience and learn it for the next time. You can do it!

[@colbunkmust]

@1:31 Andrew, there ain't no gluten in potatoes... over-mixing potatoes can bind up starches in the potatoes, but they aren't made of gluten which is a protein found in some grains.

[@HectorHi]

I stopped watching because of this. I think many people do not know what gluten is.

[@Cuck-n-bull]

He probably meant to say that they get gummy, which is what happens when you over mix

[@meagan.868]

Me: I can never sit through a two hour lecture Also me: *watches this*

[@rickystarr]

😂

[@ascendedvegeta]

I really didn't even realize this was almost 2 hours long until I saw this comment

[@DarianTrinity]

Pardon me while I say things no one asked for It's all about what you're interested in and how it's being presented. A well-made KZbin video explaining whatever the hypothetical lecture would have been about would probably hold your interest just as well as this, depending on the subject

[@MarkusZM]

that's pretty much what I thought, if it interests you it's easier to sit through and enjoy@@DarianTrinity

[@meagan.868]

@@DarianTrinity so true 😭😭

[@blue-yq3qd]

The perfect Thanksgiving video doesn't exi-

[@lachauntiswashington231]

This is great.😄👍👍I hope you will do more Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving recipes and Christmas recipes

[@Lasor4]

Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday and I thoroughly enjoyed this feature-length film about it.

[@user-is3hc2hn6i]

I'm sitting here eating my last minute thanksgiving dinner for one right now thanks to Babish. The brussels sprout trick is insane!

[@soggy9648]

not me slamming a fast food cheeseburger while babipoo whips up a faantastic thanksgiving din din

[@whoops6325]

been doing the one side toasted bread trick since i accidentally put two slices of bread in one side of the toaster as a kid and discovered the superior textural experience.

[@TheCerberusOfHell]

I love this covering all bases and options for everything!

[@kstarler]

I really appreciate the part at 1:29:35 where you impersonated 99% of the BioWare and Bethesda RPG's that I've ever played.

[@The_crimson_angel]

thanks for this dude, i 1. have something to watch when i should be sleeping and 2. now i know how to crisp turkey

[@Fuzunga]

I've been making the apple pie crumble tart thing for years now. It was a big hit with my friends!

[@jenniferestes5293]

One of my favorite things my mother would do with leftover turkey was make turkey enchiladas.

[@ScarletBrimstone]

As much of an abomination as it was, my mom did too😅

[@jenniferestes5293]

@@ScarletBrimstone I always thought they were yummy. I have adapted her recipe for chicken and rice and it's one of my husband's favorite things to eat. The first time I made for him & our son who was about 2 or 3, my husband had 3 helpings and my son had 2. I slid it into our meal rotation and we've even taken it camping, packed in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.

[@ticctacc]

Nice and hearty 😊 But I don’t think potatoes have gluten, though they are known to get gluey when over mixed from starch.

[@johannaboegl5423]

Perhaps that's what he actually meant

[@jordanmorgan8749]

I had homemade mashed potatoes and I swear it was gluey enough to make a school project

[@lornahuddleston1453]

I remember that tragic day I put the "mashed potatoes" in the blender. Oy. 🤦‍♀️ Glue City!

[@Locnessmonstah]

lol I was like “ I’m pretty sure none of the ingredients for the potatoes contained gluten”. Glad I want the only one that noticed that lol

[@ileutur6863]

Being a european cooking show fan during november is so strange. I'm watching all these videos about a holiday I'll never celebrate and a dish I'll never make.

[@shaunbeckett9128]

The magic is, you could totally make it

[@cpljimmyneutron]

Interesting story 1:16:40 I have that same sweater. And as I have had it for like, 20 years, I find it amazing to see another one.

[@chriswelcome8102]

Do something from Kays cooking or cooking with Jack

[@AtomicTank1000]

53:26 I've been spatchcocking my last 3 Thanksgiving turkeys with great success each time

[@StopSpiderMan]

On any day in December, you should make Grandma Spankenheimer's Fruitcake from Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer movie

[@Magic-Worm]

Alvin should do the foods from "Kirby and the forgotten land" especially the car cake!

[@Crowbars2]

1:27 - _"That we want to whisk minimally, just enough to incorporate the butter because we don't want to build up any gluten."_ But potatoes don't have any gluten...

[@Ev1lRaptorMudkip]

If you whisk too hard you run the risk of knocking over a nearby tub of flour into your potatoes

[@cpljimmyneutron]

Last year I decided to make Keto Stuffing, following your recipe for stuffing but replacing the bread with Inked Wolf Keto Seeds... it worked amazingly. But it also taught me that my oven is weird... it can go down to 130F. Considering I live about an hour from a place that can actually get that hot naturally, I found that amazing. And yes, I mean Death Valley.

[@jasonhenninger8220]

Sweet potato souffle/casserole is better with the pecan/struesel topping. More texture and flavor vs just overly sweet marshmallows.

[@sanguine6939]

"Basics with Babish." Immediately the first dish uses a sous vide machine.

[@barbradawnbarrett]

I did the last minute thanksgiving dinner for Christmas in 2020! It was delicious!! Although I tripped at the finish line and burned my hand! :( The next day when I was no longer in pain I could appreciate just how delicious it was! 10/10!!

[@Idonotlikepeanutbutter832]

Please make a note to make all the diner foods that were seen/mentioned in The Sandman episode, "24/7"

[@Bluetartinator8]

Would love to see you make Bubble Buddy's Krabby Patty: No cheese No crust Pickles on the left side 4 squirts of ketchup under the patty Wheat buns Non dairy lettuce Farm raised tomatoes Carnival style

[@casadastraphobia]

I'm so excited to wake up to this for the next several months

[@jrwhynot3631]

this is just more evidence that i could watch hour long babish videos every week

[@ajsomebody1342]

Your yams are basically how my family has always made them except not the toppings lol those are fancy and I want to add that now this year!

[@UndercoverGCHACPSagent2177]

Oh my gosh, I use the oranges strat to make the cranberry sauce, it is soo amazing

[@EmpressEmbeth]

This was really nice!

[@duelbraids]

This is perfect. For some reason, thanksgiving recipients are my comfort videos.

[@Keethroolz]

Hey Babish, had what might be a fun idea for Binging with Babish. If it's at all sanitary to do Pork Butts and Taters from Cow and Chicken, I'm sure that would be a fun episode.

[@janicemcalisterdouglas7351]

I have never laughed so hard watching a turkey being prepared for a Thanksgiving dinner!😂

[@rocknrollmanic]

I still use your cranberry sauce recipe from like 2-3 years ago. Going to try to spice it up a little I think

[@Spawn3X5]

Yeah Im thinking of just picking up some popeyes regardless of turkey or not

[@mcomeslast]

My mom’s stuffing. Enough sage that you should have crazy dreams.

[@thehangryone5452]

This is such a great video. I don't like pumpkin pie but this video makes me want to eat some pumpkin pie

[@jessicacollier2499]

Also we love your excited hands xb it's cute

[@Phordless_Cone]

I hope your dad recovers from his surgery, Babish :)

[@dontaetrowell5011]

“This is the moment we’ve been waiting for…to still wait?” Oh the cussing I would’ve given him 😂🤣

[@MapleHillMunitions]

Did the deep frying method. Perfection

[@ouisie99]

I would love for you to say more about crushing the mushrooms because I've never seen that before.

[@polardarth2029]

I love the fact that when i watch babish i gets ads with babish

[@MJTripp]

That Snoopy song hits hard!

[@suzibikerbabe8073]

Give your dad a hug from the KZbin gang here and tell him we want him better, soon! Have a great and memorable day!

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

A marathon! Thanks you're awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@Always_Sulkie]

Hi Babish, I really hope you're gonna do a recipe from The Mentalist I know it doesn't have many recipes but it is an awesome show.

[@cf1925]

Amazing job as always, and keep being awesome!

[@dspiritlight]

This is neat!!

[@BrainMax_]

Fried Orb from The Owl House episode, "Really Small Problem"

[@PR15C1LL4]

one day I really hope to see Babish do a Bobs Burgers thanksgiving, possibly with a heritage turkey

[@UnveiledShadows]

Remember to see the comments in the Turkey Basics if you're bold enough to deep fry a turkey. The Babish team forgot a key part about deep frying. *DON'T* TURN UP THE TEMPERATURE!!!

[@garysouza95]

Wishbone exactly in half? You both get your wish!

[@mmmomiji]

Variety is the spice of life- *ahem* Thanksgiving!

[@krbouier0505]

Perfect timing, printing out my menu NOWWWW 🎉

[@nodeio]

Or just purée if you talk to anyone French... Just stick with the recipe from Joël Robuchon who wrote the book on mashed potatoes, and his recipe involves a whole lot less trouble... The trick is to use waxy, rather than starchy potatoes... You actually don't really want all that starch in your mash... That said, the excessive amounts of butter seem about right...

[@lindalim5901]

This is amazing! Such great content, thank you

[@HarvestStore]

Great video.

[@aud9931]

I got 6 minutes into this without ever checking the time stamp, and got so surprised when the snoopy clip came on and there was over an hour and 40 minutes left in the video

[@Animeguy300]

Thanks for the recipes for Thanksgiving

[@nereida116]

You are awesome!

[@That_Disciple]

A great addition to the BCU

[@Stargazergirl104]

You are sooo over the top!

[@trader123454321]

ok. thanksgiving internet now broke. no more videos needed. thanks babish lol!

[@EverlastingTorr]

My favourite 2 hours of the year! Also, me > 38:08

[@waheedabdullah6371]

Please think about making any of these banquet ideas for Thanksgiving: Coraline- Other Mother's Dinner Shrek 2- Royal Dinner (while also reenact family argument) Pokemon anime- Honey Dishes (Danger Sweet as Honey episode) SpongeBob SquarePants- Magic Conch Shell's Gift (Club SpongeBob episode)

[@CynicalWilson]

Wow... The overall vibe changes a lot between the beginning of the video to the end. I get it, it's a compilation, it's just interesting to see the evolution

[@docdeity7698]

That sammitch was....plus the rest... 😎😋

[@kirolloshalim5417]

The king is back

[@darklordofsword]

Ive been using your greenbean cadserole recipe for two years now, and an expanded version of the cream of mushroom is my go to recipe for the soup in general.

[@EverlastingTorr]

I have GOT to make it myself.

[@nhmelid7089]

I like turkey

[@purplerose244]

Just when I was thinking about what food to make! This is perfect!

[@Osiris064]

Can you make Baked Brie en Croute with Pears from Bob's Burgers?

[@112Famine]

*Audum in a Glass* the drink made in the last few seconds of this video is also known as a *Broken Leg* ...just needs the whipped cream on top ...and found at every skiing resort in North America

[@MrStoyan5]

3:18 that fade was sooo soothing ummm

[@THE_MrNoob]

A masterclass of a collection

[@russiantaekwondoeboy]

it's probably too late for suggestions, but Jed Bartlet's stuffing, in the bird of course, would be a fantastic thanksgiving episode!

[@HardlinerTheGeek]

and include the clip from The West Wing when he talks to the lady from Butterball.

[@Jirachi_OFFICIAL]

Yay its back

[@iancryar6431]

Down here we buy our deep fried turkey from rouse’s or Copland’s so no chance of burning ourselves or burning down the house + either taste great!

[@mebyrne]

Ok, Andrew, I tried the pope's nose this year and y'know what? You can have it! I did not care for it at all! In future, it's all yours.

[@reptilesarecool9763]

Yay babish

[@oHmockingbird]

brother... your watch collection has to be nutty...

[@c2bienaime]

Those are amazing Thanksgiving recipes

[@benamisai-kham5892]

Came here for extra inspiration since im not handling the turkey this year, i had chili, manicotti (fried), pecan pie, meatball filled cheese biscuits, mashed potatoes and stuffing planned but felt like it wasn't grand enough.

[@michelleharrington7529]

Creamed Onions with fresh dill is a special treat for Thanksgiving

[@availdname]

Is there a drinking game to go along with this?

[@gracekim25]

Ooo awesome

[@justmonika3635]

As a Canadian, I hate that we don't get this until TG has gone by 😢

[@dillondoherty4307]

Same here eh

[@EdenOfChaos]

I hope that one year Babish tackles the Malcolm in the Middle Monkfish
