1Parks & Rec Burger Cookoff
In the first episode of Binging with Babish, is it possible for a turkey burger to taste better than a beef burger? Some say no, but others say...no. Turkey patty recipe adapted from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt (The Food Lab).
2Il Timpano from Big Night
Is this laborious, old-school Italian showstopper just a fat, kinky lasagna? Or is there something more, good enough to make stage and film actor Ian Holm want to kill you? Methods adapted from The Food Lab, David Lebovitz, and America's Test Kitchen.
3Louis C.K.'s Potluck Fried Chicken
Sometimes an existential crisis makes you want to actually attend that potluck, so you have to make something, but you don't do desserts, so you make fried chicken, but you don't have time to brine it, so you follow Louis C.K.'s trick in this video.
4Pasta Aglio e Olio from "Chef"
What dish can make any man or woman ache for the touch of Jon Favreau? Pasta Aglio e Olio is the dreamy midnight snack that lives up to its porny portrayal in the foodie-comedy-drama "Chef".
5How to Make New-York-Style Pizza - TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze
It's been 25 strange and beautiful years since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze danced its way across the silver screen and into Americans' hearts. Now we look back at that pizza eating scene, and how we can have pizza too.
6How to make a real Philly Cheesesteak from "Creed"
Michael B. Jordan finally lands a role in which he doesn't die tragically - on the contrary, he gets to enjoy a philly cheese steak with his bohemian dj-girlfriend between bouts. Is it possible to make this delicacy at home, or is it forever trapped on the silver screen?
7Moistmaker from Friends
I never watched Friends but I couldn't google "thanksgiving sandwiches in television and film" without getting about a billion Ross Geller references. Disgusting as the word "moistmaker" is, it makes a damned fine sandwich out of your delicious turkey day leftovers.
8Goodfellas Prison Sauce
Say what you want about gangsters - the garroting, the cocaine use, the shooting-a-guy-in-his-foot-for-no-reason - the guys know how to eat, even in prison. Follow along as we make old-school Sunday gravy, and please, try not to piss off Tommy. Recipe below!
9World's Greatest Sandwich from Spanglish
Spanglish, the movie your aunt refers to as a "must-watch!", is home to a Thomas Keller-inspired creation known around the internet as "The World's Greatest Sandwich". Can such familiar ingredients earn such a prestigious moniker? Let's find out, and let's take it one step further: by baking our own rustic country loaf to act as the "bread" for our creation.
10Eggs Woodhouse (for Good)
Eggs Woodhouse is the impossibly indulgent dish prepared for spoiled superspy Sterling Archer by his faithful butler, Woodhouse. Will these decadent ingredients sing together in harmony outside the cartoon world?
11Breakfast Dessert Pasta from Elf
Will Ferrell is a man who wears many hats, but one of his most famous is his pointy Elf cap donned in the eponymous 2003 contemporary Christmas classic. Will I be imbued with holiday cheer upon my first bite, or will my face cringe into an unrecognizable James Caan-like countenance?
