Meet the chef who recreates Garfield's lasagna, Homer Simpson's donuts and Ratatouille's ratatouille
Chef Andrew Rea created Binging with Babish, a popular cooking show that recreates foods from film and TV
Ever wonder what Garfield's lasagna tastes like? Or how to make the donuts that Homer Simpson loves so much? Maybe Ratatouille's ratatouille? Andrew Rea has made a career of answering that question. He launched a cooking show all about food from film and TV, and has recreated countless dishes, from the beef burgundy in Julie & Julia to the ramen in Tampopo to the hamburgers in Parks and Recreation. Along the way Rea has gathered quite the following, too: his YouTube channel, Binging with Babish, has nearly 6 million subscribers. Today he joins guest host Angeline Tetteh-Wayoe to talk about how a single YouTube video turned into a cultural phenomenon, which foods are still on his list to make, and what the heck is milk steak.
