know so I blame the individual owner not your franchise I'll make that clear I know a lot of energy right now there I'm ready to go you pulled out the big racks that hold all the donuts and behind it behind the rack and this is a rack this big you know and I'm 64 okay behind it say this is the ground was a structure made of fallen doughnuts like this blue break a big mound it's cool I just hope everything's okay hope nothing happened to her hope she ain't trip on the sidewalk my mom tripped on the sidewalk and there was a little hole in it like a little doorway okay fell in she jacked her hand poor lady poor mish and inside it was this big petrified rat like this dead inside a castle of donuts we call him the donut king and he probably died from overdose he probably just eating donuts let's just wait for Clara everyone but that was the Rat King of Dunkin Donuts that's the whole story so how did you get 12 million views I guess oh we got a rest on that look at me I'm a crazy person just talking to myself and it's fine only had to dump my two kids on my poor wife I got a steal from Morocco just catch a train catch a boat walk a couple blocks that was early that's kind of guy I am alright punctuality mean something he always has dad you know I guess I owe that to my dad you show up on time you know you staff jobs we're on time you're late man 15 minutes early not too I can wait on that we're waiting on that really you know we're gonna fry them in one that's it fire cooter are you here right and fired me for the idea bored little okay that's a grounder to first I'm like a shark I gotta keep moving I'm gonna sink the bottom and freakin die hey Priya what do you got on nobody even here yet but it's Friday we're gonna make doughnuts for those batting cages I've been a wild man back in the day before TV we used to spin dowels or batting cages in the driving range that's a good day get out of there get yourself a bucket of coal Jesus come on get a little cocky back slow it down okay let's get a technique bag in chugga yeah that's a tricky one oh you mean school again Jesse why McDonough betcha actually it's kind of a lot of fun I bet you some folks probably not me yeah real good at this get this thing spinning for her what are the world record is I'm going for the Guinness Jessie's gonna join us Jesse thank you you look great today and we're making some sour doughnut right how cool would that be longest wooden dowels about to be now we're gonna roll it out cut it with the cook with the cook would be a little biscuit cookie cutter thing third of a second well I tell you what you're gonna get a doughnut we're gonna deliver to your desk did you showed up today a little lower it's a bat down there oh this isn't regulation watch Claire comes pretty good thing spins like a top that wasn't bad good one I think Occulus more like a train or the oculus yeah many oculus oh I meant that building on the Upper East Side that was designed by the same guy got everything set up we got everything but money huh but Dunkin Donuts if you're listening we're now accepting sponsorships big money ones like eight figures let's cut before I say something higher I am exhausted I've been dancing in front of this camera for 45 minutes there was a nine o'clock halt I'm Claire [Music] it's cool it's cool it's fine it's cool it's cool I'm in a great mood that's good for yesterday Claire we got donuts tonight I hate chapstick but I'll smell oh thank you eat it what I just licked it how can you not oh you wanted this back all right anyway Claire do this yeah so hope you guys really start this [Music] [Applause] we put it in the fridge around 6 so it went about six hours fermentation and now it's cold and we're ready to roll it and cut you got our cutters yeah I got everything said alright I'll go get the dough okay great it's all coming together when I feel really bad time to make the donut I really thought it was 9:30 sorry mostly cos hundy told he's 9:30 I'm here I've been here for an hour the dough right now is really solid because the butter is cold so it's firm when the donuts sit out a room temperature and proof yeah right there all right all right anyway when the doses at room temperature and it proofs the donuts softened quite a bit and get super light and it becomes difficult to handle them so in order to get them into the oil I like to proof them on little squares of parchment and then all you do is slip the little piece of parchment into the oil and peel it right off it's a lot of fun huh yeah what's great is a lot of fun cooking is fun when you do it with well let me see that cutter against my nose oh yeah we're good and will you be rolling and cutting scraps no remember we're not gonna do that this time here we're gonna make ya they don't really love oh yeah I forgot and then oh I see nice lift is already you know what I I'm a better idea why don't I punch out the donut hole on the parchment I think it'll all get better okay and you can just hand me that you want to get some shots clean of this you can just hand it to me when you're done we'll do like each one yep like one at a time I know it's cutting beautifully it's so satisfying yeah it's a great dough one of the great those we've been seeing it's basically brioche I love making brioche we're gonna make donut brioche right after this so now we have all these leftover dough scraps and they don't work out as well as doughnuts when you reroll them so I'm gonna just roll this all up and we're gonna bake it off separately we get harder to cut you here flour that cut a little bit whoo yeah you want a real quick grab me a loaf pan it and like butter it a little bit yeah I'm gonna put a little plastic over these right yeah let's talk about that or could you cover them with a towel yeah you could you get a bunch of towels I like that though they'll prove though they won't get like weighed down or anything they'll be fine you're going into the donut shop what do you what are you getting what's your order oh geez we tried do you want to tell the story of the Rat King there if you run time you would have caught the story again because boy did I throw my favorite brassberries some really gross you lose forever petrified embalmed sugary soda and cholesterol cholesterol cholesterol there you go close enough so what's your donut order I don't really order those I'm not the best on top in the in the world or wherever one elbow under the tip of Lake Superior yeah old-fashioned but I also like the east did they had a yeasted I'm talking about I know you're really let's do a little truck I really got it out Oh a mazing whoo all right I like where your head's at just a little 10x but maybe maybe a vanilla bean that's a nobody yeah let's do we're gonna put that in there yeah yeah wasn't you being instead of extract I don't know if we had it I don't know the vanilla bean situation anymore well I don't bag of them let's smell us at 20 minutes I've been making my own extract at home smell that oh wow yeah yeah yeah whoo so while these doughnuts are proofing their final proof before we fry them yeah yeah I like I'm playing just kind of like nothing nothing you're on top I kind of get into that really oh yeah I do but I also I can get into some toppings I pulled out a little maple syrup maybe like brush something to add on it a little hot so it's so good he does anything with honey that's gone okay so I got some cinnamon in the cinnamon sugar mixture I was doing some Coco Coco Rouge but we don't do this now we do this now as well so I got a little cinnamon we're just eyeballing stuff here you know a huge measuring guy you put anything on it I mean I really get into some of the ideas of doing like a savory doughnut - I was thinking like black pepper and like sumac or something but for a savory yeah I think it's a great idea right I'm not really gonna measure for this I'm just gonna you just eyeball for uh for consistency yeah we're just cooking here okay Branka how you doing this morning yeah buddy although I think technically that's like fondant tobe gooey chocolate oh good god hey forget the chocolate look at that little guy no oh he was the cutest dog ever he'll Toby goofy farmer Jimmy had a little puppy honey I mean it was it was this big really yeah maybe a little bit but he was time he was Kranti was just following us he just wanted to be part of the pack sad to lose oh yeah so is that like two tablespoons yeah I don't know how much sugar I start with so it doesn't matter oh oh my god [Music] hey Morocco you have any good like loose honey what is what is loose honey bud you know what I've always liked that about you the handkerchief I'm just writing into the walk-in just gonna walk it I'm just gonna go I know I got scared yesterday sour doughnuts how are you a yeast owner working on it yeah yeah right well it's the better doughnut I mean I've said before I'll say it again I think the only cake doughnut hole fashioned worth eating come on it is extremely fresh special cake doughnuts the crested amaze yes his word excellent I mean I will eat a day-old Dunkin Donuts glazed thank you more life longer yeah yeah well they even like a really lovingly handmade that apple cider doughnut like the next day yeah um can we put a little rainbow sprinkle on the chocolate one just for a visual so we'll do the chocolate ganache just before cuz we wanted to stay liquid otherwise it'll set up right yep all right other than that we're good I'm gonna get the oil just a little warm just so when it's go time it's go time okay I'm gonna you know try to hold it and around like 200 okay well I was frying on that 350 yeah 350 with like a 3/5 sweet spot so you think come back and maybe an hour I'm gonna just keep an eye on me yeah yeah they can be a little but we found member the last time it was around about an hour hour and a half oh there's a guy huh well good boy where is up to you now are laying on the deck living the dream all right best of luck bud Tito you can see they're definitely puffed around the edges yeah yeah but they need more time there's not enough air yet so when you put this is the Pope test it's not ready but the Pope test is you stick your finger you make a little imprint on the side and it should spring back but leave an indentation and right now it's basically springing back like the whole way I say we fry a tester though even though we know they're not ready well all right okay fine why not we have plenty because I feel I think it's a good comparison - but what about will you find some sprinkles oh I don't think having if you just don't want to put any I don't like sprinkles I don't I don't taste good but it looks so uh man I love the way they look yeah okay will you find him oh Christ it's so many nope all out no or not oh my god we have that we have the fanciest these are but these are the best complete opposite reactions these are the rolls-royce of sprinkles look at this is $11.99 chocolate should I think we should make a little custom blend yeah excited I am bah bah I know I know I'm tell our fans they are way too chuckling sweet Oh Brad alright hundy testa number one so that's why the parchments thought useful because you can really handle the donuts so easily right yeah definitely not proofed enough they'd even stucked at the bottom for a second yes there's not enough gas yeah looks like it yeah sad bagel I mean hey Brad this um it broke I don't you can't really use chocolate that dark for ganache give you the 64 percent is too much you know it's just this happens with when you try to make a nosh with chocolate that's like over 70% is it a break so this broke don't show this part cut this part out I hear we can talk about this guy to talk about my failure talk about your failure so right off the bat we could tell we were our assumptions were right by the Pope test that this dough was not really meant to fail we didn't mean the Pampa yeah well do note Pope that's an apple well let Claire make another good I'll just cut this whole part out and pretend like yeah good luck with that [Music] now I needs more time sorry I'll come back later what I want to do is eat lunch is that lunch here don't worry I'm here how are we looking yeah how's it feel huh what goes around comes around half sour a good spy in a good man yeah no great not at all I should have known this was not gonna be a good day Clarence is a great day stop it's gonna be fun so I just did a test they're not ready they're under proof so let's troubleshoot what we think happens I think it's gonna be go longer it's just time yeah but then how come I never had to do that when I was that's it I don't know the nothing different except the towels versus the plastic do you want to try one from this straight cuz we've only been doing tests let's try one that's right okay all right we're gonna do another tester and then if that falls through we'll address Plan B if that falls through that bone through what do we get a drink I will be drinking good yeah if this doesn't work out we'll address our backup though our back-up plan is to do it again if pretend like I never failed the first No I love you make it perfect three times in a row as practice yesterday I made this yesterday and they were like gorgeous doughnuts Chris was like oh they're heavenly broke out an English accent and now we can't even make one because there's like jerky I put hunty through the ringer good onna give me a check mission starburst today yeah oh sorry you were talking to me Oh bad bad bad bad news that should not happen so these are failed test or not these are not good don't you see how here we have that dark ring that's from it sitting in the oil it sound like double fries it's being double fried chris is going to murder us no one wants a donut more than Chris still upset this is not my day everything's everything sucks wait what do you think everything sucks Oh should we dissect available yeah I'll tell you my throat bad it smells pretty good nobody I'm just smelling it gonna do a little dissect job see what the inside looks like Wow Brad weird things happening that is not supposed to happen look at the hole I wish it would cut the other way hold on yeah yeah a little bit of a cut cut no no but a cut no like there yeah it's right now I think it really is a disaster maybe they'll be fine nothing it really is a disaster it's like there's like a ring it's like a tunnel it's making like at all we'll try again I'll make another joke look it's like a easier thing as a tunnel it's a tunnel it's like it has nowhere to go and it's just going crazy it's a tunnel I can't do this I can't stop saying that no this works this is the most frustrating part it's worked I'm just so stoked like we're gonna go in and make dynamite doughnuts this thing is on point you know like I said I think this is part of the journey of cooking especially when you're dealing with fermentation you know when people if this worked perfectly someone was gonna go home and this is gonna happen to at some point a whole thing happens people you're putting a real jar two-thirds full spin on it that's the kind of guy okay that's the kind of gal you are sorry today okay yeah it's a lifestyle starting Monday yeah things are taking quite some time to approve I mean just break it down I've been developing and cooking through these doughnuts and they've been working great I didn't yesterday the day before today and they work great they work absolutely fantastic I have a beautiful picture of them I could show you yeah you want me to I see yeah like look at that ring like that's show that show the camera so I mean it was it's been working great the only difference that we've done in this I'm gonna go now just okay the only difference that we've done today is we covered it when they were proofing with towels instead of plastic I don't know I mean this is how it goes sometimes you know things go wrong that's the beauty of cooking that guests in the meantime we'll wait another another half an hour I don't I don't think I don't think it's gonna happen although they are starting I think it'll be okay what today yeah it's only 3:45 okay what time you leave 5:15 I mean it'll be okay all right all right Claire right Claire positive attitude jars getting two-thirds full that's what I'm talking about jar right let's set the positive energy okay Claire we're gonna we're gonna moose and then proofed oh that's a little yeah the proofing Donuts and they will do another fryer that way yeah that 430 doesn't work well how's that with you oh honey you go now JFK I won't be back here but you but you should leave how are you with

Was waiting for this one

Edit: Brad's descent into madness in a span of about 30 mionutes is fantastic

[u/Doppleflooner]

I don't think anything has made me laugh this hard as this video has in years. Also Claire just straight up spitting the water back into the jar.

[u/breakupbydefault]

• longest and best cold open ever

• "*squee-ing*oh my god It's so littleeeeee! Oh my god *abrupt end squee*Kinda looks like an alien though" is so Claire

• that starburst montage just brought everything together. I was wondering why Hunzi was among the chefs helping out in the Starburst vid.

• I am so curious what that gossip is about that made Claire (gracefully) spit her drink out!

[u/sam8940]

Can Claire be late more often? That was a great intro

[u/kehoe319]

I can't believe this was the same day as the Starburst Gourmet Makes. Claire is a saint.

[u/Font-street]

Oh my god BRAD

[u/cardueline]

The “Vanilla Bean Situation” fake album cover with a little ‘70s riff and Chris Morocco (and others) shopped into the picture had me laughing for an unnecessary amount of time

[u/ADDSoundsystem]

I’m a chef with attention deficit disorder and seeing Brad in this episode feels like true representation.

"The Rat King of Dunkin' Donuts" is the name of my next band.
