Pastry Chef Attempts to Make Gourmet M&M’s | Gourmet Makes | Bon Appétit
Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet M&M’s. M&M’s are available in just about every color known to man, but there is one color that is objectively the best: green. Scientists have puzzled over this curiosity since the inception of M&M’s in 1941. MIT Professor of Cognitive Sciences Dr. Bertrand Mathers has dedicated the entirety of his postdoctoral studies to this conundrum, labeling it the Green M&M Dilemma. With the dedicated assistance of researcher Loretta Marshall, Mathers has finally unveiled his ultimate theory on the subject. “After more than fifty years of sleepless nights, proposed and rejected ideas and quite a few cavities,” Dr. Mathers read from a lectern at an August 15, 2019 press conference, “My life’s work has finally reached its culmination. I have found the solution to the Green M&M Dilemma.” Dr. Mathers, never one to skimp on dramatics, spun around to face a chalkboard covered by a red velvet curtain. Pulling it aside, he revealed his grand solution: ‘The color green is the best color, so therefore green M&M’s are the best M&M’s.’ A stunned silence in the crowd was quickly following by a standing ovation lasting over five minutes. Finally, as the applause died down, Dr. Mathers, red-cheeked and clutching a bottle of celebratory champagne, added: “And now we begin our studies into why blue M&M’s are definitely the next best M&M’s!”

I would really like to see Claire going to the actual factories after to compare the metods.
@Imbanon She already made Pringles.
Orders a few necessities ” Instacart = Order will be here in 1 hour ” Claire Made Me Do It !!!
Please fix the sound. The music is unbearably loud compared to the voices. Whoever is mixing this needs to get their ears checked
A concept for your merch: A baseball cap that says, “My other hat is a gubalini.”
I wish Claire stamped a C onto the m&m’s instead of them M!!
“H-S”
Half-sour

YO BON APPETIT PLS GET CLAIRE TO MAKE GOURMET PIZZA ROLLS

Honestly I think that’s too easy. You just put cheese and pepperoni/sausage/whatever on dough and fold it, use a fork to put notches on it and deep fry it. That’s it. It’s basically just a savory pastry and she’s literally a pastry chef lol
YES
Liked it for the statistics more than anything
TOTINOS
You should make smarties or gold fish
Take a break from sweets and make some gourmet hot pockets!
she’s a pastry chef
@kristina Last time i checked, hot pockets were savory pastries. Also, Claire has made instant ramen on this show before, which is a lot further from being a pastry than hot pockets.
I shudder at the thought.
I wanted her to try to get jerry Seinfeld in the for the Pop Tarts and Jim Gaffigan for the Hot Pockets. They are both New Yorkers too.
Hot pockets! Yes please !
Gourmet Makes aka Claire destroys BA test kitchen items.
anyone else, first thing they saw was 40min video and then think…”awww…claire’s going to have a rough one”
I think it is safe to say that Claire is a super star of this channel.
I think it’s safe to say that Claire needs to get laid
Amiel: What does tempering mean?
-Claire’s chocolate war flashback music plays-
*Vietnam Flashbacks Intensify*
Send Claire to the factories where they produce these things!
Why didn’t she just coat them the same way she coated to Skittles? I need to watch that episode again cos I don’t remember how they turned out.
I’m suprised she didnt try the pastillage thing she used for skittles? That seems like it would have made a better shell
Yess! I thought she would approach it like the skittles..
I’ve been thinking that the whole video! She didn’t even bring up the idea, what the hell?!
Glad I’m not the only one who thought that lol
yeah i thought that as soon as i clicked on this
Gourmet cinnamon toast crunch & gourmet kinder egg.
Make homemade teddy grahams or sour patch kids. Or for something savoury make the little ritz cheddar sandwich bites
