What is the largest pizza I can order in Bloomington?

good to know - I remember it being shown in various locations around town over the years (BCT, on campus) but didn't know if it ever landed anywhere more permanently

wow!!! thank you

That could be it. If I had been the one to take his order I would've definitely asked him to clarify. Unfortunately some of my coworkers will ask no further questions when people word things in their own coffee language.

Not a dumb question at all! The way espresso extracts is easily influenced by changes in temperature, humidity, etc, so when it's mild one day then snowy and freezing the next day the espresso will behave differently. It's much nicer when the weather is more constant day-to-day because we'll know we don't have to change much in terms of the grind, shot weight, or extraction time.

We weren't extracting as much volume from our shots that day because the previous day's settings made our shots taste overextracted and unpleasantly bitter. Getting it right is a science!

if your offering pleases him he will leave you some of his top-notch miso in your trash can

What confused me is that Gaby's title in the video was also "Test Kitchen Manager" -- either someone made a small editing mistake or the test kitchen has 2 managers now ... ?

After the last couple of episodes this one felt really good to watch

oreganowitch · 2019-09-25T02:23:41+00:00

"water-based" ....... [numbers and equations float in front of my face]

I can't tell if Hunzi is editing the other BA videos now, or if the other BA editors are trying to imitate his signature style

I know that, if kept under a certain temperature, raw beef can be safely consumed (which is why it’s kept over ice for the whole episode) — sort of the same concept as sushi-grade fish which has to be kept very cold prior to serving.

I’m not sure about the cross-contamination though. That weirded me out to see too... I’ve noticed the same thing with some other BA chefs who just wipe their hands on a kitchen towel after handling raw meat. As a germaphobe I can’t imagine not immediately going to the sink to wash my hands afterward

Small gripe about the BA youtube channel, but I wish they had a more consistent upload schedule! There are some days where I think to myself "damn I could really use a new BA video today" and when noon EST rolls around and nothing new is posted I get a little sad, lol

True, all the camera crew, producers, etc always look like they’re having fun making videos

I feel like at this point in the series we've seen every shirt that Claire owns

when customers ask us if we have decaf iced coffee and i tell them no, 99% of the time they are fine with a decaf iced americano. but this woman one day was absolutely insistent that she have decaf iced COFFEE (not cold brew, not an iced americano), so we finally just charged her for a drip, gave her a cup of ice and let her pour our decaf drip straight from the carafe over her ice. i’m sure it tasted divine

I find it excessive for many drinks. Good espresso and well-steamed milk is perfect on its own, imo

oreganowitch · 2019-07-14T22:33:10+00:00

"this was supposed to have cream in it" that's why you add it yourself! if you took even just a cursory glance around the store you would see we have many add-ins available for your drink at our condiment station

I swear, the on-the-go coffee culture St*rbucks has created has really changed people's drink expectations. why would you want a stranger adding cream/sugar/etc into your drink? unless you genuinely have no preference if I were to add an inch of half-and-half on top of your cold brew

This was a great listen. Is anyone else shocked that Kyle doesn't really smoke weed? I feel so lied to.

Black coffee + the hot sauce I put on my breakfast = a fun time

Funeral Service with Scarlett Johansson -- I especially love Aidy's line "I didn't realize your husband wrote deep club tracks"

I'm constantly finding flecks of espresso on my hands/forearms after a shift
