[@im_not_toxic9494]

Great reference😂

[@BlakeTheDrake]

The cameraman then spots Babish trying to stuff Nick, wearing only his underwear, into the freeze-drier. He is wearing Nick's clothes, and somehow they fit him perfectly. A little exclamation-mark over the cameraman's head slowly fills up with red...

[@Crazy56U]

This has the energy of a Botched by Babish video.

[@AccAkut1987]

yeah it feels like a lot of herb was consumed during the making of this 😂

[@redacculous]

That's probably why I love it so much; it has an air of chaos that I adore

[@KailarahAurual]

Yes! Now he needs to make a Botched by Babish video for this.

[@itiscujo]

I mean, it really was😅

[@edfreak9001]

you could probably, and fairly, dock him for bringing actual pizza dough rather than trying to commit to the bit, but no doubt that Nick's pizza was a fantastic spin on the idea.

[@vinstinct]

I honestly think that made a huge difference. Babish tried to mask the horrible dough in a deep dish. The crust is definitely the hardest part.

[@arsachinbafna]

I don't know if anybody has noticed it, but the production behind this video is just amazing. The constant switch of music when Nick / Andrew cooks is hilarious. Kudos to the team. ❤

[@IbarakiPlays]

I love how Andrews music is his normal drum/jazz music - and when you cut to nick its like the Kickstarter music with the ukelele

[@babishculinaryuniverse]

Well folks, who won the Krabby Patty Pizza Cookoff? I mean, Nick, obviously - but it’s polite to ask anyway!

[@xXLiLJokerXx]

[@bingbongthegong]

I loved the trick of yours when you used the sesame seeds. Brilliant

[@PRONGLESYT]

def nick my bad

[@Delta_NWAB747fan]

Well you went through the effort to put Nick’s Special Sauce™️ on your’s, I think that makes it a very tight race…

[@Ravag3r1]

His was DQed because he used a pizza crust.

[@Kibzdabibz]

I really like their chemistry. Honestly made my night better just seeing these two hang out, making burger pizza.

[@sorayaya3080]

I like how this feel less like a cooking battle and more of a 30 minute long skit

[@squincee]

really missed an opportunity with the waiting 10 minutes and not using a classic spongebob "a few moments later" slide

[@uncreative5766]

When Nick said, "Let's show what we had for dinner last night," I was genuinely expecting him to bring leftover Chinese takeout.

[@graceygrayyyy11]

Andrew won imo. Nick is disqualified bc he didn’t make the pizza from the burger ingredients, he just made a pizza with burger toppings

[@anderkaurv5182]

This😊

[@Eri_1121]

Glazing…

[@HiddenRealm]

I actually completely agree. There was no way that it should've turned out well for either of them if they actually stuck to the heart of the matter, but Andrew actually did. "cheating" by using garlic, when you can justify that better as a seasoning ingredient for a burger patty. Can't justify using literal pre-prepped pizza dough though. With all of Nick's pre-prepping, I feel like he also doesn't match Mr. Krab's on-the-spot impromptu nature of mashing ingredients together into a pizza the way Andrew more closely captured it.

[@DantalionNL1]

@@HiddenRealm Well they both used garlic though lol, one used raw other used powder. But yeah you're right, and if you want to be really technical, who uses MSG in their burger? Both lost in my eyes. Deep dish really wasn't edible (with the raw beef still) While the other technically was edible, pizza dough isn't used in a burger, nor does a traditional burger use MSG.

[@joeys2234]

5:17 this part was actually really sweet, Nick really seems like such a genuinely kind person

Made me laugh even harder later on with the "they say don't meet your heroes" LOL

I can’t with Babish laughing maniacally after stealing the sesame trick 😂😂😂😂 I LOVE THIS COLLAB! It’s so funny how Nick would help Babish and meanwhile he mostly steal stuff from him ahhahah! Love the lighthearted and fun competition hasha

[@jayhe3735]

i can't believe how much i love this collab they're HILARIOUS together

[@GregCurtin45]

Nick is such a nice human being, which is sadly quite rare on KZbin. Nick's burger pizza is obviously more edible but I think Andrew might be the winner based on using more traditional burger ingredients.

[@superpheemy]

"It's edible." That was absolutely poetic!

[@mightyfilm]

That's how old Spongebob is. We completely forgot there was a time where the major fast food burger joints did NOT have a delivery service. Wonder if they made an episode where Krabs runs a Krabby Eats and Plankton tries to intercept every delivery yet.

[@coopere9962]

not an episode, but in the game "Revenge of the Flying Dutchman", Spongebob does krusty krab deliveries while plankton tries to beat him to it w/ chum bucket food. so. pretty similar?

[@mightyfilm]

@@coopere9962 There's a lot of potential in the series for parodying food delivery services. Just wonder why they haven't tapped it yet.

[@TheFuronMothership]

​@@mightyfilmIt took them till the 2010s before they had an episode where the Krusty Krab got a Drive Thru. 💀

[@arejayftp5956]

Most fast food burger joints DONT deliver even nowadays. Third party companies offer the delivery service, NOT the fast food company. Notice how there is no McDonalds delivery service, you use DoorDash. Thats how it is literally 99% of the time 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@viridixx]

what major fast food burger joints deliver?

Babish said hardtack and I immediately heard Max Miller "CLACK CLACK" from Tasting History immediately in my mind.
