Binging with Babish Season 6, Episode 40: Root Beer Noodles from The Simpsons

Sourdough Broccoli Pizza from Inside Out

This week, we're headed into yet another one of Pixar's heart-rending, eye-popping dreamscapes: modern day San Fransisco, where we're taking a look at the broccoli pizza through the eyes of an 11-year-old. GROSS! Can we not only make something so sacrilege as cruciferous cabbage on pizza appetizing, but glean some new knowledge about the age-old Neapolitan treat? Let's find out!

Risotto Tricolore from Big Night

This week, we are testing the patience of the Italians once again with an attempt at some real-deal risotto, from the realest of dealest of movies about Italian food: Big Night. I try a few different shortcuts, but spoiler alert: nothing quite compares to the real thing. So toss some pomade in your hair and hop in the Studebaker, because we're headed back to a mythical time when the Jersey Shore didn't appreciate Italian food.

Sloppy Joes from Billy Madison

Mkay yeah this one is a stretch. But I watched Billy Madison over the weekend, and just like when I was a middle schooler, it gave me a strange hankering for sloppy joes, so here we are. Out of the can, completely from scratch, and unnecessarily complicated joes are on display today - and I made sure to make em extra sloppy for yas! I knows how yous kids likes em sloppy.

Bachelor Chow from Futurama

Good news everyone! Today we’re taking a look at that most objectionable food from fiction, Bachelor Chow. Can I make my own dog food for humans - with blackjack, and hookers!

Angel Food Cake from Groundhog Day

Happy Groundhog Day all! It's the magical time of year when a homeowner's backyard nightmare reluctantly, but alertly predicts the weather. As the snow piles up here in New York City, I can think of no more fitting tribute to this particularly bizarre ceremony than recreating the centerpiece of Phil Connors' immortal diner feast: angel food cake, eaten in one hedonistic bite. After a year that's felt an awful lot like Groundhog Day personified, let's ring in a new...groundhog year together with this classic teatime cake!

Pizza in a Cup from The Jerk

This week, to celebrate 5 years of BWB, we’re taking the show back to its roots - its mumbly, un-ironed, concerningly higher-pitched roots. Thank you all for sticking with me!!

Chef's Choice Platter from Monster Hunter: World

The Chef’s Choice Platter has haunted me for years. A glorious, cross-cultural mishmash of cuisines piled high and deep, devoured by a warrior and downed with a flagon of ale. Then it dawned on me: it was a “chef’s choice” platter, and I’m the chef! So I’m making what I want and devouring it like a warrior - slowly, in sensible portions, as leftovers throughout the week.

Gotcha Pork Roast from Food Wars (Shokugeki no Soma)

This week on Anime with Alvin, a true challenge awaits: a mashed-potato-loaf that can pass for a delicious pork roast? That can blow your clothes off? If anyone can do it, it's Alvin - the guy that hosts this show and always has.

Meat-Ghetti & Spag-Balls from American Dad

Pork Picnic from Regular Show

This week, we're headed back to the not-so-regular-world of Regular Show. The Pork Picnic Sandwich presents not only the opportunity to live like a VIP, but to enjoy the sweltering summer heat while smoking some big ol' joints of pork for 16 hours! Let's put the grilled cheese deluxe to shame.

9 min

Trenette Al Pesto from Luca

This week, we're taking a crack at a Ligurian classic, beautifully portrayed in Pixar's Luca: toothsome pasta tossed in a bright, fresh basil pesto, dotted with creamy potatoes and crisp green beans. How could I possibly screw this one up?

Meatloaf Sandwich from Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia

Whether you’re a clever kid on the precipice of becoming a trollhunter or just your average joe or jill looking for a tasty sandwich: this meatloaf sandwich is a must-try. Who knew cardamom, balsamic mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes would work so well in a meatloaf?

The Sims Special

This week we’re tackling the weird and wonderful food from The Sims. First on our list, Mac and Cheese. While seemingly simple, we couldn’t resist putting our own spin on it. Next up, a *new* classic, the ultra comforting Aubergine Parmesan (alternate identity: Eggplant Parm). And finally, the ever-challenging Baked Alaska. The perfect summer dessert, best accompanied by your household fire extinguisher.

Sloppy Steaks from I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

This week we're channeling the Always Sunny "milk steak" as we fancy up an outlandish gastronomic gag from the brilliant and jarring I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson. Our hero, who used to be a piece of sh*t, gleefully recalls post-club evenings spent at Truffani's with a big rare cut of beef and a glass of water. Let this be a warning to all film & television creators: if you put food in your thing, I will make it.

Death by Chocolate Éclair from The Simpsons

This week, we're headed back to Springfield to take a look at a deadly dessert: La Bombe, a premeditated éclair with 25 pounds of butter per square inch, chocolate so dark light cannot escape its surface, and a staggering 1 million calories. We can't break the rules of...well, physics, but can we make an equally "killer" pastry? Pastry "d'oh"? Is that something?

Meg's Dinner from Family Guy

This week, we're headed back to Quahog (named after a type of clam!) for a decidedly domestic dinner prepared by Family Guy's familial punching bag, Meg Griffin. In a rare turn of events, everyone's left speechless as Meg effortlessly prepares a delicious, nutritious dinner for her incredulous parents. Let's see how it tastes as we make up the entire recipe!

World's Most Expensive Mc10:35 from Archer

This week, Sterling Archer strikes again with another overpriced, overindulgent masochistic mash-up: the world's most expensive Mc10:35. A sandwich normally concocted from an egg McMuffin and a McDouble, Archer decides to cobble one together from some otherwise-relatively-thoughtful canapés. Will it live up to the superspy's reputation? Probably.

Black & White Cookies from Seinfeld

Black and White Cookies are one of the few signature confections of New York City. While available at most bodegas, delis, or bakeries in New York, now you can try them yourself from the comfort of your own kitchen. Try the chocolate or vanilla side first, or just dive in straight down the middle like we do!
