Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Ganondorf literally introduced the concept of drugs to the gorons

[@Penguinman2.0]

USA government moment

[@brandenhercules9503]

Ganondorf is a drug dealer 🤔

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

Ganondorf is the CIA!

[@DungMa-ro4lm]

Heisenburg 😂

[@kook8473]

Ganodorf forcing a drug supply into a predominately Goron neighbourhood:

I love that Alvin used the rock roast as an excuse to make a Beef Wellington.

[@HeyitsBri_]

Exactly what I was thinking 😂

[@SYNTAAAX]

Great comment hopefully they’ll give you a heart

[@sokrateas]

He did it before on his own channel too!

Ah, the Rock-Roast Wellington, signature dish of Goron Ramsay

[@gramathy999]

underrated joke needs more likes

[@shogun2215]

"the fockin rock is fockin RAW"

[@stale_1]

to the guy who suggested this on the fried chicken video, he's actually done it

[@lightingmcqueen522]

Lol

[@SkyJustDontCare]

One thing I love about Alvin is how he uses the scraps which would usually be thrown away and makes them into little snacks. He always finds a way to not waste ingredients.

[@waitselljones8068]

A regular Sanji of a man.

[@steprockmedia]

@@waitselljones8068 I was just about to say the same!

[@JoshuaCunningham2397]

That's one of the best parts of working in some kitchens. We would always try to have fun with whatever we had leftover or when something was taken off the menu and we didn't need stuff anymore

[@haydennedyah3110]

I can't believe there are places in the world where people would consider throwing the "scraps" away!

[@yujinyi6099]

Can confirm as an Asian that we hate to waste food in the kitchen.

[@djgrizzly9353]

Next, make the superb soup from Zelda Twilight Princess. It's a cool idea because it has a bunch of unique ingredients like Pumpkin, goat cheese, and seafood

[@kuroninjaofshadows]

I've made that in real life and it was the best soup I've ever had!

[@hannahdigioia692]

I have too, but subbed pumpkin for butternut squash because I prefer its flavor for savory stuff

[@SwordCailburn]

The Pumpikin Soup in Twilight Princess would be cool. I wonder, if Alvin does the video? How many hearts Alvin would rate it?

[@alexisgrunden1556]

As amazing as that giant Beef Wellie looks, I still say it would have been hilarious to watch you season, baste and roast a small boulder~🤣

[@viserproductions1]

Would have been a great April fools vid

[@yujinyi6099]

They did it with the donuts/onigiri from Pokémon. They had so much opportunity here!

[@HeyitsBri_]

One of my favorite parts of Alvin’s cooking is the meantime-in-between-time snacks for the crew. A little touch of real family in there.

[@MmeViper]

I love how Alvin always tries to come up with things to make with the leftovers, what a way to waste not want not

[@sylvias1546]

For a few years, our Christmas tradition has been making beef wellington, following your 72 hours video. I just wanted to say thank you ☺️

[@hectorleach-clay2271]

I love that Alvin always talk about how to use your cooking scraps, a lovely little thrifty extra

[@alexellis9009]

First video i ever watched with Alvin in it was his 100+ hour beef wellington before he joined BCU. Feels like a blast from the past to see him making it again but for Zelda purposes now!

[@Luckdragon12]

I haven't seen this, but it sounds phenomenal!

[@Bryce_the_Woomy_Boi]

Who would want to see Alvin make the ramen and sandwiches from Ponyo?

[@fiestastowner7850]

That would be a nice one

[@Maitreya0208]

Ponyo loves ham!

[@daleharden1749]

Seeing as Halloween is right around the corner, I think a perfect episode would be all of the dishes that the Duke makes for you in RE: Village.

[@-Raylight]

This beef wellington rocks! Zeld- Link would be proud Love how you can brought the leftover home xD

[@Nepkan]

beef wellingrock

[@omniaragab9594]

Bro almost had the whole community after him

[@lckyminer_2256]

Gordon Ramsay would be also proud too.

[@lerneanlion]

This rock-roasted beef wellington is the best meal I ever seen in my entire life! Thank you, Alvin!

[@SAmaryllis]

The main dish is of course very impressive, but I especially liked the little segment on using up extra pastry dough! :D

[@matthewbeaulieu2909]

My favorite part of Alvin videos is his improvised use of leftovers / scraps. Super sustainable and creative 👍

[@silasskirata]

Id love to see you do the Saltine and condiments sandwich for Tom Hanks movie Terminal. Especially whatever you'd come up with for the fancy version!

[@samhd02]

Still waiting for the burple nurples from chowder, absolute classic

[@Seekmire]

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, I think he ought to make Pickle in a Cup first.

[@samhd02]

@@Seekmire I don’t know, that’s a pretty complicated recipe to recreate

[@HyruleGamer]

This is pretty cool!

[@WickedKnightAlbel]

I loved watching him find a use for all the leftover scraps

[@yaboyguzma6484]

id probably do mutton, since it's tougher it'd be a bit closer to the real goron experience

[@yaboyguzma6484]

would be really intense though i guess

[@liswifi]

This looks so delicious, but I would have loved to have seen clay roasted Marbled Rock Roast too!

[@dimmingstar]

what an awesome episode :') your cleverness and expertise really shone in this Alvin, from the culinary skills translated to apply to a larger beef wellington, to the prediction of spices due to the in-game climate, to the creativity of using extra puff pastry and turning the dish into its rocky inspiration~ it was insightful and also such a vibe, and I absolutely loved it. you're a gift Alvin, thank you

[@joshmall8955]

Really digging the little snacky snacks made with the puff pastry scraps looking like little savory cinnamon rolls yum

[@mikomakowski7907]

I love learning to make what is basically drugs

[@SheyD78]

Certainly worked a bit better than my last attempt. Nicely done!

[@mikedemarco9391]

Absolutely smashed it. You took a challenging dish, made it more challenging, and still aced it.

[@leastlikelysuspect5122]

LETS GOOO!! I was hoping for this episode

[@littleblizzard7591]

Love Alvin’s videos! They’re entertaining and peaceful and fun and relaxing all at the same time. Keep it up Alvin! 🎉🙌🙌

[@wallyallen7169]

I just started binging your videos last night and I was just finishing up the cheesy meat bowl when you uploaded this!

[@loeaglelo]

Yet another mouth-wateringly awesome take on a Zelda dish. Keep them coming, Alvin!

[@AthenaKeatingThomas]

Wow, that turned out really lovely, and game-accurate. Excellent work, my man!

[@riuphane]

10/10, dude! Love the interpretation!

[@walk3rk1ng35]

Babish should make the cheese nutrition food from Home Improvement, "Shooting Three to Make Tutu": Cheese Doodles, Cheese Oodles, Cheese Curls, Cheese Puffs, and Cheesecake.

[@ravennocturne4145]

I second this

[@5m4llP0X]

Could you please do the Whole Roasted Shark's Head from Dave the Diver?

[@adamalexander4286]

Love Alvin, and the entire Babish universe. But is it just me or did he not remove the butchers twine before wrapping it up?

[@lorysarossnagel1206]

Yes! I noticed that too

[@lauranicol2706]

The twine was gone before he wrapped the roast. Watch and you'll see a section of the roast on the left is coming open (no longer tied closed) when he sets it down on the wrappings.

[@Greendawn-di3dl]

Gosh I love a beef wellington I've made 3 and never felt I did it right. But I do love seeing it done

[@ketameanii]

i wanna make one one day

[@eldarblog]

I love Alvin's videos it's cooking you could actually handle

[@Sneshie]

This is a fantastic video idea

[@wbucksoft]

I'm drooling watching 🤤agree that a red wine "lava sauce" reduction or something woulda really pushed it over the edge

[@matthewelvis5221]

Didn’t expect to get a Babish ad on a Babish video

[@steprockmedia]

Those little puff pastries were a great idea too! Bonus.

[@jnaps18]

I swear Alvin is just a cooking content making machine

[@amaionnaise1594]

this is amazing!! You’re so talented!!

[@FalconGamingDH]

I loved the way he matched the rock texture with the pastry. This isn't meant to be hate but isn't that a big chunk of raw pastry under each rock feature? Look at the cross section @ 8:28

[@cpljimmyneutron]

I find it amazing how many people forget that Mustard is a perfect emulsifier. Aka, you can use it in almost anything, to bring it all together.

[@thatfuzzypotato1877]

Oh I always made pinwheels with my leftover pastry scraps too! Only mine were cinnamon.

[@vega0727]

That scrap parm puff pastry tip is A+

[@rocketpg_9532]

Why do I watch these so late at night? Now I'm hungry and I don't think the vending machine will cut it this time...

[@F0XD1E]

Great job!

[@brandondiaz9657]

You essentially just made a Giant Beef Wellington.

[@claytonrios1]

Ready to Rock! In the Kingdom!

[@SwordCailburn]

I would like Alvin to makes all rice balls from breath of the wild. In game their are different types of rice balls. The different rice balls are meat, sea food, mushroom and monster rice ball.

[@EarnestBunbury]

The KZbinr Alex French guy cooking has a wonderful recipe for the beef Wellington, in which he adds a step to he precooks just the meat with a sous-vide, so that you can be certain it will have the desired doneness in the end

[@everything_strange8272]

I GOT A BABISH ROCKET MORTGAGE AD ON A BABISH VIDEO. I actually thought i was just watching the video.

[@nerdyboymatt497]

Am I the only one who got greeted with a binging with babish ad before a binging with babish video?

[@JetstreamGW]

Okay but, like... even if it's USDA Prime, isn't a chuck roast that rare gonna be kinda tough? It's chuck.

[@gordol66]

Love Anime/Arcade With Alvin just as much as Binging With Babbish!

[@iancryar6431]

Mom sent four lasagna trays with on our post graduation trip which we greatly appreciated for most of the trip

[@censheard7019]

Gordon Ramsay could never. The most beautiful beef Wellington I’ve ever seen.

[@MaggieKeizai]

Grey Poupon isn't mustard, you monster! That stuff is so sweet that it's practically frosting! AUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHH

[@Gnarwhals]

ahh yes Goron drugs

[@grimemu9099]

Those snacks you made with the left over puff pastry we call them scrolls here in south Australia, my wife makes them with left over bolognese sauce

[@umekosasaki]

i wanna know what i should do or what luck i should have to be able to taste alvin's cooking. anything he cooks looks so delicious :

[@Newominus]

Hey whats that immersion blender you're using?

[@PatriotBigBoss]

The rock bits were excellent... But I think I preferred Alvin's 72 hour beef wellington... That was just magical.

[@Zspec1988]

PLEASE come to NYCC!!

[@Quantumm12313]

That on the thumbnail is prime rock roast sir

[@oncersm7884]

Please do a video making pumpkin bagels!

[@josephnation9063]

I kind of wish they tried salt crusting that chuck roast. That seems like the best tradeoff of accuracy/sanity to me.

[@TTHBLOX_]

Love these game meals! Really like to make some of them when im living on my own

[@MUDi345]

In order to preserve the original TLOZ: TOTK recipe, along with not wanting to contribute to climate change, I will be making this recipe entirely out of rocks 😋

[@nicholaslamendola2808]

is any of the puff pastry under the other mounds of puff pastry cooked, at all? looks pretty raw.

[@algae1538]

Love the 'marbled' rock roast, but I definitely think this was a wasted opportunity to see Alvin make a clay-baked roast and eat said roast with the clay still on like an actual Goron

[@kyokoyumi]

My first thought was a roc roast and the title was misspelt and then I saw it and realised... I love that he's using store bought puff pastry instead of making it himself lol So many youtube cooks make literally everything from scratch which can be discouraging to a lot of home cooks

[@Vaggumon]

Wouldn't the chuck roast still be pretty tough for only cooking for an hour and a half?

[@marcplourde4272]

Alvin, learning why eggs always go before added liquids the hard way 🤣

[@SwordCailburn]

Cool Video Alvin. You should more recipes on The legends of Zelda. You Should make Princess Zelda's favorite food in Breath of The Wild. In Breath Of The Wild She likes Fruit cake. The recipe is found in Hyurle castle in game by doing a side mission.I think the video would be cool if you make it.

[@brevinedwards9317]

A Legend of Zelda Fruit cake would be cool. I would see the video, if Alvin makes it.

[@kalb_rec9308]

Thanks again Babs for making it easy for your friends to platform.

[@tomppeli.]

I liked the writing in this one

[@caseystrawn3228]

This actually looks satisfying. Have I been sleeping on Alvin?

[@shlomster6256]

I saw Alvin's Beef Wellington on his channel. It's mesmerizing...lovely...must...have...beeeeef

[@jfxjason1171]

Babish I am moving to NYC next week for a photography job. I hope one day I can do a cool cooking shoot with you. That’s at the top of my career bucket list!

[@dspiritlight]

it's a really majestic recipe

[@RockLegend2000]

Since it's October, you ought to make foods from horror movies and games. Might I suggest bacon soup from Bendy And The Ink Machine.

[@nathanwall6253]

I love seeing recipes from games/tv/movies come to life. But i would love a series of literary foods. So many books have great food. Lies of Lock Lamorra, Redwall, etc.

[@maharijones9815]

I second this idea!

[@chadpeterson5698]

Ganondorf: why didn’t I make this for the Hylians as well

[@christopherwilson88]

Is it just me, or was the beef still tied up with butcher's twice when he wrapped it up in the meat/duxelle/crepes? Gonna be an unplesant surprise if so

[@serpensviktorijewiczvonarm1011]

Nope, but it was when he was slathering it with mustard and the lines left over after he took it off, so it kinda looked like it.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love this channel, zelda and the vareity 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@ciriadeflora]

Any suggestions for an alternative for the mushrooms?

[@stevesamuals2651]

I dont know how it'd work, but i would like to see you try and make the meat stuffed pumpkin from tears of the kingdom

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

Alvin’s a hero, he made marbled rock roast edible for humans.

[@cameronwarttig1732]

A oven?! A OVEN?!!? It's "an oven" Thank you

[@clubnesman]

this was awesome

[@ChristopherSniezek]

I always want more Parmesan, but I'm embarrassed...

[@chakkachewy8905]

Beef wellington is awesome even if you forget the crepes and its a sloppy mess.

[@watsfac5934]

Stressed me out thinking you weren’t going to remove the twine before wrapping the roast.

[@Yurrita]

I’ll try to recreate this at home and probably end up with hot plate of dubious foods 😅
