One part chef, one part filmmaker, generous dash of irreverent YouTube personality, heaping handful of bourbon enthusiast, cyclist and karaoke singer to taste.
Friendly reminder to everyone else out there battling depression: try not to beat yourself up for feeling shitty. One of depression's more insidious weapons is making you feel awful, then making you feel guilt for feeling awful. Your pain is real and deserves to be addressed.
To anyone that feels marginalized, unworthy, unloved, small - it can get better. You might be getting shoved into your locker now, but in a few years, you might be celebrating something incredible with those you love/who love you back. Thank you all so much for changing my life.
Friendly reminder: wear a mask!! Not only does it help prevent the spread, it’s a social imperative: I’ve tested positive for antibodies but I still wear a mask, because seeing everybody on the street *without* masks makes people think they can do the same!
I’m on, without a doubt, the most resplendent trip I’ve ever taken - and it’s made entirely possible by your watching and supporting my channel. I don’t feel like I deserve to drink this heady cocktail of comfort and peace, but I’ll never take any sip of it for granted.
Whatever you celebrate, however you celebrate it: I wish you the warmest love, the brightest day, the deepest peace. I hope someone or something reaches out and helps your heart to ache a little less - and if you’ve got love to spare, I hope you share it loudly.
Ever since I hit 100K subscribers, I’ve been in a constant state of disbelief. I never think it’s going to be possible to hit the next milestone, but the incredible support of my audience continues to surprise and enliven me. Thank you for changing my life.
Wow. The last 7 years have changed my life entirely, and now I have 10 million people to thank for it - from the bottom of the hearts of everyone here at the BCU, thank you.
Filming the final episodes in the old studio this week! What do you guys think of a Parks & Rec trilogy, with the third episode coming out of the new kitchen? Shout out the dishes you want to see!
I haven’t seen it in 25 some odd years, but am apparently still capable of having a vivid nightmare about the air conditioner from The Brave Little Toaster
I’ve been studying coffee drinks for an upcoming episode of Basics, and today, I finally pulled a perfect manual espresso and managed to give my milk a silky texture for lattes - my job fucking rules thank you guys for watching
Tried a meditation practice that asked me to extend friendliness, warmth, and forgiveness to myself, and I burst out crying. Just a friendly reminder to please go easy on yourself - there’s only one of you.
Just woke up so I’m a little fuzzy but here goes: every day, I’m newly amazed that this is my life. It’s all thanks to you, and I will never take that for granted. Here’s to another milestone I can’t really believe or comprehend, but will always treasure.
Can’t share too many details just yet, but I am closing in on a parcel of land up in the Catskills. Its purpose? The Bed & Babish: a stylish, cozy, and curated vacation experience, perched on the mighty Delaware river. Stay tuned!
I’m extraordinarily lucky and grateful to be able to work from home, near-independently - a privilege I plan on using to its fullest extent. BwB episodes will continue as usual; now more than ever, please keep cooking for yourself and those you love - I will if you will!
Idea for 10M subscriber special: recreate Elvis’ famed private jet journey to Denver to drink champagne and eat 8000-calorie-bacon-pb-jelly sandwiches on the wings of the plane at 1:40am.
What do you mean that idea is kind of self-indulgent?
No Basics this week folks! Trying to get ahead so we don’t miss a beat while Jess and I are on vacation the end of this month. Yes I realize we’re currently missing a beat so we don’t miss a beat. Shhhh, here’s a picture of me with a cat.
This is not a political or partisan issue, this is a human issue, and silence is culpable. Please sign this petition to have murderers charged with murder.

I’m blown away. Thank you SO MUCH
@streamys
, thank you everyone thats supported my show, thank you
@MythicalChef
for accepting and getting a tattoo of my face!!!
Reddit u/tmatershow just brought to my attention that the first episode of BwB was posted 4 years ago today. I’ve been in a perpetual state of disbelief, wonder, and gratitude since February 10th, 2016!
I had a nightmare there was a really popular anime called "Recipe", and it had characters with names like "Cheddar", "Cornbread", and "Jalapeño" - so I couldn't find a recipe for jalapeño cheddar cornbread. Must be Monday.
I don’t know why cats’ kneading is referred to as making muffins or biscuits - you don’t want to knead either of those, you’ll develop too much gluten and they’ll turn out tough. Muffin batter is also super wet! I dare you to try and knead muffin batter, cats.
Twitter should just become my megaphone for saying thank you: in the past month alone, I got to meet
@AdamRichman
, buy my brother a
@Tesla
, book flights for my book tour, and start planning a BWB brewpub. Wtf guys no one deserves this kind of happiness and excitement
Dear film & tv writers: can you please make a muffuletta sandwich a central plot point of your upcoming project, so that I can recreate one on my show?
Thanks!
Love,
Babby
First incoming snowstorm as a homeowner - dad I’m sorry for never understanding why you’d always go into survival mode with the shovels, salt, and batteries when I was growing up.
Still the best question anyone’s asked me: how do you know where your forehead ends and where to stop using face wash? I think about it literally every morning, and I still don’t have an answer.
Okay I know it’s not even 9am but I made some ridiculously good peanut butter/chocolate/caramel cookies and need to catch a flight in 2 hours - anyone in the soho area and want to do a weird street corner hand-off?
Hey folks I unfortunately need to take a day off from Binging - bit of a rough morning. Basics still coming Thursday, and we’ve got Rick Martinez’s new show, Pruébalo, premiering Saturday!
Okay this is 4 years too late, but holy shit I love Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It has some of the best hand-to-hand combat, action choreography, and badass one-liners I've ever seen or even imagined.
I am constantly and increasingly humbled by, in disbelief of, and unendingly grateful for the past two years. My audience is a perpetual source of inspiration, support, and lively conversation. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, you have changed my life forever.
Alright folks I had a devil of a time tracking down rennet to make Tonio’s mozzarella - so that episode is gonna have to wait till next week! In the meantime, we’re headed to the zone...the CALzone
No Basics today folks - catching up after taking a long weekend for Jess’ birthday. Sloppy Joe’s from Billy Madison, Healthy Meals III, Biscuits & Gravy, and Bachelor Chow from Futurama are all incoming!
Littlefinger sees everything that happens in King’s Landing - but can he see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch? “Because, like whores and kings alike, they are all pawns to chaos....?” Guess again, pinky ring! There’s real cinnamon sugar swirled into every bite!
Welp...this has become the most difficult weekend of my life, as I attempt to make hand-pulled noodles, a skill that apparently takes 10 years to master. So be prepared for me to fail and use storebought.
I just said to Jess “sure I’ll have some green tea, it’s only 7PM” - so yeah if I wasn’t 33 years old before, I sure am now. Might’ve even skipped a few years.
Alright folks, it’s looking like I’m going to miss an episode for the first time in almost 3 years - flu’s got me down for the count. Will be putting out a Basics tomorrow instead!
This shit should be illegal. Virtually the same calories/fat/carbs as potato chips, plastered with “healthy” branding and some trumped-up nutritional claims: “The same Vitamin E as 5 tomatoes!” There’s BARELY any Vitamin E in tomatoes...note how it takes 5 to get 15% of your DV
Someone popped champagne in this restaurant and the dude at the table next to me said “ayyyy, Oprah!” - and I think that he genuinely thinks that’s what people are saying when they say “Opa!” I’m not totally opposed.
Proud to be living in a time when the growing majority of people want to celebrate instead of condemn, love rather than loathe, understand rather than undermine. Support and love for everyone celebrating

Today I learned the tiny little whisk I assumed was a salad dressing whisk and have been using for about two years to make salad dressings is, in fact, a Christmas ornament.
No Binging today because vacation, but we got an all-new show premiering in a few hours! To tide you over, here’s the un-photoshopped original of yesterday’s pic with

c/o Redditor onkelhustensaft:
Numbers are in: 2600 books sold on tour! Comes out to about $8,037 in royalties before taxes for ya boy, which is just shy of $12,000 AUD - which I'm so so grateful to be able to donate to the CFA Fire Brigades in Australia. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone that came to the tour!!
Who the hell designs a public restroom and doesn’t make it a push door, requiring me to grab a handle and effectively un-wash my hands in order to leave?
Three years ago, I held a fundraiser for Hour Children, which managed to raise $2700 in two weeks. It's completely unreal to have raised almost 10x that amount in 6 hours. There might be a bunch of ugly shit happening in the world, but there's still kindness and love out there.
Hey folks - have been out of town visiting family, so I’m taking a break from Binging this week - Basics still on Thursday, and back on track next week!
