[@CSaffitz]

Morning! What toppings are you adding to your breakfast tacos?

[@HeidiSleighs]

Claire, curious what breakfast spots you would recommend in NYC? :)

[@cadynreyes6369]

Always adding avocado and cheese

[@tamiwissing1528]

Bacon egg and cheese

[@ZairaVicario]

Spicy Salsa and sour cream!

[@ModeratelyAmused]

Sriracha-Mayo. I put that BLEEP on everything.

[@slowerpicker]

I love how unhesitatingly he rattles off half a dozen competitors. That’s class.

[@bethrogers816]

I had the exact same reaction. That's so great.

[@camicri4263]

Indeed! Humble!

[@reverse-grip]

I feel like it shows how much he really cares for the cuisine, he's tried it all around town and has strong opinions

[@JamesClark-lw6sw]

It's RESPECT for fellow artsans.. Wonderfull to see thatm

[@eMavern_Emporium]

Honestly loved this part the most. Sing praises because everyone has their own strengths.

[@harrybrook3406]

WOW. Claire is truly giving us Netflix-level food documentaries for free. We are so grateful for your content, Claire, thank you!

[@kashking2276]

Dang it now I’m hungry

[@masterofnone706]

Claire learning ‘feelings’ cooking over ‘scientific’ cooking is my favorite thing

[@esclave29]

Such a good observation lol. Baking is science, cooking is art!

[@andreabachinski3254]

Chef Núñez is a natural on camera. I enjoyed this episode even more than usual because of his energy!

[@tretower57]

He’s really open and friendly and a kind teacher. Claire should visit him again so we can learn more of his dishes. He’s great!

[@kaitcohen]

You can tell he respects Claire bc he’s asking her questions and for her opinion on different techniques. Just love that!

[@lisabailes1065]

The chef's humility! Claire is in his house, but he still shows her respect and honors her knowledge.

[@Paolito0118]

Chef Fermín was so funny. Loved the banter in this video. Also Harris doing taxes. Lol

[@cristrivera]

Harris is the goat🤩🤩

[@ashleys637]

I can't hate on a person maximizing the use of their time. Efficiency rules.

[@nacho.alanis]

As a Mexican, seeing how technical Claire takes the process to make the flour tortillas and asking very specific questions is very funny to me.

[@davidlightfoot4720]

I was shocked at how bad my first tortillas were. It's much more complicated than one would suspect.

[@VGBNDGRL]

Yeah its silly to see bc we are used to it, but if we learned indian cuisine, we would also be asking lots of questions! It's the unknown!

[@giannareal]

Love how Claire is kneading the dough so effortless , without watching it, just keep his eyes to Fermín.

[@nikiniki7176]

Right?!! ❤

[@LostEveryMarble]

This is a fun travel series! Love seeing these local restaurants!!

[@CSaffitz]

More to come, Thanks for watching!

[@benjamintanner4991]

Watching this at 8am having not eaten breakfast

[@laurag2325]

same but at 10am 💀

[@maliahlambert97]

Me to lol 😂

[@nabokovfan87]

Claire trying to starve us to death on the West Coast. 😂

[@sergiomattarellabutfromthe445]

I love how Chef Fermín was so humble throughout the video!

[@jodyandmichelle1]

Anxious for Claire's perfected flour tortilla recipe in grams.

[@yallsy]

Claire! I am living for this Texas series! I am always surprised when people don't know what breakfast tacos are, they are a big thing in South Texas. Thanks for showing them off!

[@jamesslate6664]

I believe you have struck gold with these collaborative videos. Please continue this concept with chefs in other cities.

[@dl8241]

Suerte is one of my favorite brunch places. So happy to see Chef Fermín on the channel!!

[@arslanistic3]

I love watching Claire ofc but im ABSOLUTELY LOVING watching her interact with other people in this way its just too good

[@TheSimplydar]

Idk but something about Claire the student is wholesome

[@cadynreyes6369]

I love this series down in austin. Its great seeing claire dive deep into this cities food

[@PeterNooteboom]

Loved seeing experts in two different areas sharing their different approaches for such similar processes.

[@soleilroth]

I interviewed Fermin as a young blogger a few years ago and he was so kind with answering all his questions- also if you haven't been to Suerte in Austin, his SUADERO tacos is truly the best taco I've had in my life.

[@verow5]

These look so good, I must also say that some of the best breakfast tacos in Austin (and Texas in general) can be found at gas stations

[@duckducklarry]

ATX represent! Loving these Austin vids, and always happy to see breakfast tacos get their due. Best breakfast out there!

[@knifenugget]

i really love the more recent videos a lot !! it’s nice seeing the crew outside of claire’s home kitchen (which i absolutely love ofc) !!

[@cyberpunkcentral8500]

Please more savory dishes, Claire! 🧑‍🍳 Loved your Thanksgiving feast, your homemade clam chowder, your lobster pasta and now this ☺️ Want more! ❤ I'm greedy! Lol

[@Looptydude]

Chorizo and potatoes, chorizo and bean, and potato and egg are my favorite breakfast tacos, but gotta be salsa verde. Barbacoa is the Sunday special around here, and carne guisada is great too. Gotta love migas/chilaquiles, because I heard you like tortillas in your tortillas 😂

[@tomgreenlives]

Si sabe el compa!

[@stevetipton7151]

i'm really enjoying Claire "on the road"

[@sakuraiblossom128]

really wholesome video- super positive vibes and two very talented chefs

[@camicri4263]

Awesome video Clair! Chef Fermin Nunez , great job. Thank you for sharing with us all! Blessings!

[@nadinea1125]

omg, we love suerte so much. my bf and I had our first date there 3 years ago. our fave chef and baker in one video- amazing!!

[@sunshinebakery_melinda]

Nice seeing chefs enjoy the food they’re cooking and get excited while cooking it.

[@annapeterson8651]

I lived and worked two-five minutes away from este & manor road and this has me really missing Austin! This will up my flour tortilla game, thank you!

[@ivonnevr]

Great way to start my morning! Love you Claire

[@mollypock]

Claire you're just wonderful! Really loved this one and Chef Fermin

[@Alice_Walker]

This is a DELIGHTFUL episode. Chef Nunez's passion and expertise is obvious and I enjoyed following the way Claire asked questions about the process 👌🏻

[@TheCD45]

More of this kind of collabs please!!! I love it!

[@MissViVega]

this is my comfort food! growing up, my mom would make tortillas every other day and chorizo con papas or ham & eggs was a common meal with a side of refried beans

[@markkeeney4917]

Claire doing Austin justice! Whenever I go back there, it's a non-stop eating frenzy of must-go to this place and that. I think Claire would understand this gastronomic obsession I have and may even indulge in it herself whenever she returns.

[@99739c]

Loved this episode!! I miss those Austin breakfast tacos!!

[@fgferraro]

New weekend project unlocked! I can't wait to try this at home!

[@wyattwelch3517]

I grew up in Arizona but was raised eating New Mexican styled food. Hatch green chile is my personal favorite but I know its popular to have chipotle chile or a combo (Christmas style).

[@jrdmgl6190]

these two recent chef collabs she did were EXCELLENT bro.... amazing human beings

[@tootswoots]

That was really lovely, thank you Claire!! Been wanting to go to Austin for a while now. I just bookmarked all the places (plus his) he mentioned 😎 YUM. Can't wait

[@UnicorNE0N]

Hope you enjoy my lovely city 💜 bring an empty stomach. I also recommend prioritizing Round Rock Donuts/Lonestar bakery, the classic glaze. Also Kerbey Queso at Kerbey Lane Cafe. And Mexican vanilla ice cream (at least a taster spoon) from Amy's Ice Cream. Can't go wrong!

[@josuem2853]

Greetings from Austin! I agree with the recommendations given for breakfast tacos but I do want to add: Dan's Hamburgers (sounds weird but trust me! Bacon, eggs, potato and cheese on flour is amazing). Also, homemade breakfast tacos are the best when you have butter tortillas from H-E-B.

[@pieman3141]

Chorizo papa looks amazing. I love both. I want both.

[@accousin]

Claire at 16:30 "You got a stew going" 😂 ... RIP Carl Weathers.

[@sherbaderb]

YES best part, I was searching for this comment

[@laurenschenck5355]

OMG! Those tacos looks so delicious and refreshing and perfectly done! 😊❤😊❤😊😊😊

[@laurenschenck5355]

I love this series so much and so amazing fun! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dfwturtles105]

I love his cat's cam sm!

[@jetizon]

I've only ever had breakfast burritos and then I was exposed to a breakfast quesadilla (shout out to Marriott in Brentwood California at a wedding a few years ago). Not a hidden gem spot lol, but truly a personal leading form of enjoying breakfast (pico, sour cream to choose your adventure on the side) I don't see served at restaurants. It's always breakfast sandwiches or burritos in California. The child and adult in me was beyond thrilled. I'll give tacos a shot next. Thanks!

[@yejikim1494]

Thank you, Claire! The recent videos are great for me who have never been in any parts of USA yet. I was wondering if you could introduce your way of making lamington cake one day. I'm from Korea and living in Melbourne studying patisserie and working in a bakery. I've watched you making the chocolate cake in NYT Cooking channel and the other day I made your coconut cupcakes which was AMAZING. Then, for some reason, I thought myself whatever your version of lamington cake is, it would be exceptionally great. It'd be really appreciated if you could show your baking the cake and share your recipe when you feel like it!! Have a nice day!

[@03maggield]

Love seeing Claire highlighting all the great places in my hometown! ATX represent!! Tacos are life!

[@WifeDesignLife]

This popped up at 7:30am… I live in HTX… sending the hubs to pick up breakfast tacos and coffee on this rainy Friday morning. Perfection 🤌🏼 Thank you Claire ♥️

[@ABlueDahlia]

Fermín is amazing, man! Enjoyed this so much!

[@CSaffitz]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lechatbotte.]

Chorizo con papas y huevos. I love it made with longanisa

[@MadeInCookware]

Love Breakfast Tacos!

[@MultiGemgirl]

enjoying your travel videos, I love seeing where to eat when I travel

[@jw77019]

It’s great to have you in Texas. We need all the good publicity we can get. I hope you will get to Houston while you’re so close.

[@bakeddulce5451]

I really enjoyed this episode. Definitely going to make this week. Loved the cat cam at the end.

[@ThatOneMinority]

this guys knows his stuff and the recommendations were all excellent source: my tastebuds

[@pcrice-lr2dn]

So interesting,such a nice guy who named many competitors to visit,5 stars 🌟

[@n1k0n_]

Going to Austin to watch the Eclipse next month. Gonna have to check this out.

[@pokkopelo]

Just some clarification, maybe the chef grew up in central/south Mexico. Us that grew up in northeast part of Mexico, south of TX border (Tamaulipas in my case), we've been eating breakfast tacos forever... that migrated into TX of course, as all good things do. Thanks for sharing this video, Claire!

[@ericktellez7632]

He did, you can hear the central mexican accent not the northern accent. They do that a lot especially the chilangos they erase the entirety of northern Mexican culture all the time.

[@charleyu5506]

This guy is confused because my family is from central Mexico and we all eat breakfast tacos. I would be surprised if they don't eat something similar in the south. Huevos a la mexicana with some refried beans and you make a taco out of it. Chorizo con huevo is also very common and they're eaten as tacos.

[@harrismayer-selinger204]

Amazing chefs!

[@captainjustin]

What a great guy, this episode was a joy

[@RachelDavis705]

Claire hits the road!

[@carialv]

Yum! Looks delish!

[@carlosorodriguezjr4242]

your joy is infectious. Come to Fort Worth!

[@mrdonniedoomsday3]

Love thissss

[@MsYeleo]

Love the Claire scale ❤❤❤

[@robinchipman6746]

The level of astounded he is that Claire has zero flour on her hands after mixing that bowl makes me laugh so hard 🤣🤣 it’s like dude it’s Claire 🤣🤣🤣

[@paulaliberty2082]

I am going to practice this! And amaze my sister in laws. Thank YOU

[@yaazielhuerta4845]

Claire, as a fellow Mexican, Fermin is the bomb! You need to go to Mexico with him and show you around different types of pan dulce and bakes....and savory!

[@hesperheart6622]

This was so very enjoyable

[@andrewpadilla682]

Any chance you can share the tortilla recipe? Would love to try these at home!

[@countrycrafted]

The steak analogy is a great tip thanks!

[@laurenschenck5355]

Hope you had a lovely happy Valentine’s Day Claire 💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rogerleathers1388]

Hey Claire- great content, as always. I really enjoyed this one.....Can you share a breakdown of the tortilla recipe? Chef Nunez mentions the amount of fat needed but I'm not clear on the other ingredients. Thanks!

[@jenniferclyde8911]

I love breakfast tacos ❤❤

[@taylorsoliz6258]

Yeeeees breakfast tacos

[@christopher7442]

I got engaged on Mt. Bonnel ❤ Este is a great spot. Their seafood dishes are wonderful.

[@jaleenkinser2140]

Welcome to Texas Claire!

[@laurenschenck5355]

SO EXCITED!!! 😊❤❤❤❤

[@barbaraann7664]

Mouth watering!

[@midnightvargas9835]

My dad made the best flour tortillas. I miss him so much!

[@allongoria6548]

Chorizo and egg is the breakfast taco staple…made with chorizo San Manuel, best chorizo ever

[@floraluxla]

LOLOL the quick shot of Harris' eyes 🤣🤣🤣

[@kaeru12345678]

My kingdom for a breakfast taco ❤❤❤

[@danivandiver4831]

Will we see measurements for the flour tortillas?

[@nicolemangum5023]

BREAKFAST TACOS. Best breakfast ever

[@jameshuitt1420]

This is great

[@yaelshukrun6793]

Is there a chance of getting the recipe for the tortillas? They look so good!!

[@shanegabriszeski9763]

I am... salivating.

[@kb2023]

Goal this is year is to make my own!

[@PKDionysus]

I'm going to start using 'Claires' as a unit of measurement from this moment forward!

[@maryann9579]

wish the amount of tortilla ingredients had been given

[@PorterCollins612]

God this looks amazing

[@theUcane]

awesome!

[@sresnic]

Those look fantastic. Any chance we could get an actual recipe for the tortillas?
