This week, the great (if somewhat particular) folks over at @italiasquisita are weighing in on my misguided interpretation of the OG Roman mac n' cheese, Cacio e Pepe. Celebrated Italian chef Luciano Monosilio tells me exactly what it takes to make this supposedly simple dish: can I manage to further screw it up? Turns out yes, I can, and while sparing no expense. Join me in my descent into cheesy madness.

Directed & Edited by the immensely talented Brad Cash.
Produced by the incomparable Kendall Beach and the irreplaceable, irresistible Jessica Opon.

    That's insane! Andrew Rea is at the top of the game, his videos are almost rocket science, but he keeps putting himself on the line! Great respect from Italy, man. Still, we may have something else to say about this "botched" case...
  • @thakillman7
    Italians: "that's not real italian". Babish: "then how do you make it?" Italians: "literally nobody agrees"
  • @jokerproduction
    Buy a few more of those cheese wheels and we will be getting a new series... Bankrupt by Babish
  • @the_brave_kitty
    The sad part is, the cheese wheel wasn't even the most expensive part of this video. It was, in fact, the phone call.
  • @kurlykayla9013
    I love how the main series would have us believe Andrew is a super suave dude with a smooth sense of humor, but then we cut to videos like this, and we see he's really just unhinged.
  • @gabe2349
    This video should actually be called “Andrew’s almost immediate descent into madness”
  • @Groovebot3k
    Babish: loses his mind Italians: "We secretly taught him incorrectly as a joke"
  • @zerofox641
    The blood curdling scream after Brad says Andy got engaged and the fast pan to a scared Jess 🤣 the chaos of this episode is everything
  • @FKProds
    When Babish said "It's not the cheese... There's something wrong with me as a person." I felt that.
  • @missmoode
    This entire video is full of the chaotic, desperate energy of somebody starting out hopeful for redemption and eventually just racing against time to complete a video before he’s murdered by an army of vengeful Italians.
  • “If it explodes, it’s a molotov” I don’t care if Andrew hated that; that’s a hilarious joke and I’m unashamed to say I laughed out loud at it
  • @NigelThornbery
    Italian chef: “No no no you’re doing it all wrong” Same Italian chef: “well Italian recipes are by mouth so my grandma recipe different than her grandmas recipe and her recipe”
  • @jackreid735
    When Jess said, “nothing is Andrew’s fault”, and Brad pans back to look and Andrew, the absolute gleeful expression was everything!
  • @talkingzack4926
    The fact that Andrew spent $1000 on cheese, just to immediately spend around $4000 on car repairs. I thought he was just going to tell the woman on the phone to keep the car at that point
  • @erich7616
    "Everybody does it differently, but yours was somehow wrong."
  • @Haitch_Kay
    It's really refreshing to see that Andrew is just as insane and unhinged as every professional chef I've ever known.
  • @ashurean
    I'm so glad this guy's able to do all of this stuff. Also, the mold on that cheese is PROBABLY just a growth of the harmless penicillin mold the cheese was inoculated with. Scrape off the colonies and you're fine, unless you're allergic to penicillin.
  • @whyleft1489
    single handedly the most chaotic binging with babish show ever.
  • @SegaForce
    Today we learned that in the course of 2 days babish lost about 5000 dollars between cheese and car problems
  • @purpleYamask
    "You got engaged Andrew, WAIT NO YOU DIDNT" and then the immediate whip pan to Jess with the screaming got me laughing so hard I saw stars.
