We challenged Chris Morocco to recreate an Oysters Rockefeller recipe from ‘Serious Eats’ in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. The catch? He’s doing it blindfolded with with only his other senses to guide him.

Hanna "the hammer" was so much kinder to Chris than Chris was to himself.
Why did I expect him to be able to immediately know what an oyster shell feels like
Whose hands had the nail polish on in a few of the prep shots?
Ok, now Kendra…
This is impressive. His knowledge of a 16oz hammer vs a “24oz framing hammer” is AWESOME!
Dear producers: The drumbeat background is really distracting. Please calm it down. Not necessary.
i like seeing chris make oysters but this video is kind of pointless when you feel it you know its an oyster rockefeller
Haven't watched in awhile, people still believe this guy is straight?
Not even a min in and he guesses it almost immediately after tasting. Incredible ❤
I do love watching Chris get his own groceries…..chris is the only reason i watch this channel for some time now…GO Chris!!!!!
The only thing he can't see with that blindfold on is the back of his head.
Bring back the shopping montage!
Hol up! Rock salt is not edible?! Is it purely only for presentation then?
Not the first time mr. Chris has thought parm/evoo is in the mystery dish. He must love it.
we need a weekly episode
I’m just a few minutes into this. Wouldn’t basil stand out way more to a seasoned 😉 taster? So there should be no question on whether it was present in the original dish?
How can you not care about the kind of oysters? What I like to do during oyster season, when my seafood dealer has a 5 or 6 different kinds of oysters, is get 1 or 2 of each and have them side by side. What a revelation! They’re all totally different.
I walked into this video so optimistic that Chris had a slam dunk, I really wanted that for him. Huge kudos for figuring out the herb/veg texture on try #2. Meh, who needs celery anyway?! I'd eat his version anytime.
Get past the smell of burt tape. 😅
Crossing your arms makes it look like constructive criticism isn't taken well FYI!
why do the lemons look so green
why are we so severely color grading a video about food
Love Chris 😂 he did a great job. Those list of ingredients were a lot. I love when he guests a dish correctly too!
Is the color correction off here? These are some green lemons on my tv
She’s insufferable
I’ve watched every reverse engineering video since the beginning and I swear, Chris’ track record on the breadcrumb element of recipes that call for some form of them has to be less than 5% success rate 😂
“Ok Chris. We took these oysters and then we chopped up every single green thing we could find in the greater manhattan area on them. See if you can guess what it is.”
Why have they never done an Alton Brown recipe?
Need a weekly show!!! Too long between episodes 😅
I lost my last brain cell at this moment… 5:58 he said what?!!! 😂😂
90% on technique is crazy
Chris singlehandedly carrying this channel
If they're gonna lean into the history to justify the absinthe, maaaaybe don't use panko in a dish that predates it by ~half a century.
His looked better. The pureed herbs look too artificial.
Overly generous grading and Chris being far less skilled than you'd expect while also being far more opinionated than he can justify. A typical episode lol.
a layup, a half court shot?
He must not be a big basketball fan to mix those two things up.
So much weird funky words.. accept the challenge to create something way better what the chef cooked.. you nailed it! 👌🏾👍🏾
Why is this fruitcake still on
Anyone else thrown off at the shaky camera at the end?
one of my favorite series on the BA channel! i'm always so so happy with every new episode <3
edit: I know the comments on these video can be mean sometimes, I hope you know there are many silent watchers rooting for your team!
