the moment where zach tells keith a table wants another pizza and keith says “can we say no?” is actually the most accurate food service moment i’ve ever seen

Jared calling a lazy susan a helping lisa is actually super wholesome

Jamie ordering everything gave Keith a taste of what it is like to run the restaurants where he eats the menu

I think it’s really cool how when Jonny said “I knocked the thing…” Keith corrected it and said “the oven fell” so that it didn’t really put the blame on anyone while still being cognizant of the situation. It’s very admirable how good of a leader he is

Johnny checking his phone while everything falls apart is the most accurate food service representation

I love that they were more afraid of jamie & teen co than the 2 literal michelin chefs

Zach accidentally committing himself to doing an Italian accent because of social anxiety is SO relatable

Zach spinning the pizza just like he was told not to and it ending the way we all expected was top tier.

Seeing Jamie as a teenager makes me feel like I haven’t seen my nephew in five years

Jamie ordering the whole menu on opening night as chaos erupts around him is such a Eugene move, extremely proud of him.

Kwasi is dressed like a front of house manager and Keith is dressed fully like the head chef who goes out to smoke halfway through service

Everyone's talking about how Keith was so calm over the oven situation, but can we give some credit to Kwesi who was going around as a wild card and as soon as that happened, he jumped in to turn off the gas? That was so important to make sure nothing worse happened.

"You're making a video. I'm running a restaurant" Keith saying that so bluntly to Rachel KILLED ME

I want to give Keith credit for how he reacted when the oven fell. He handled it so well! Very respectful and kind yet still in charge. Exactly what a leader should do.

Can I just say...while I miss Eugene A LOT. I'm not mad about Jonny and Kwesi being in almost every video now to fill out the team. I love their vibe. They make things feel complete.

I love how Kwesi pretty much says the name of the restaurant differently each time

the cooks "dinging" more loudly and more intensely each time while the FOH are running around doing other bits and not taking out the food is sooo accurate

Pizza oven falling immediately followed by a team effort of “don’t tell mom” 😂

Jared calling it a Helping Lisa, I feel, is so much more positive and supportive than it's original name lol.

Underrated moment is Kwesi asking what basil looks like to a random stranger

Keith is literally the glue holding everything together. When Johnny knocked over the pizza stone he was so sweet

"This pizza restaurant can not destroy your friendship" is so funny out of context but so real at the same time

zach being so stressed out when a table took too long “we calculated everything right they’re just taking forever” healed a little part of me that’s hosted for six years

Keith and Johnny acting clueless when Rachel discovers the broken pizza stone KILLS me

The adoption of Jonny Cakes as an unofficial Try Guy really has been such a great move for the channel to make. I’ve always loved the channel, but loosing the dead weight and gaining a whole new group of fantastic new personalities has really made it easy for me to watch and rewatch the newer videos. Great job, Guys!

Kwesi looked incredible in that tan suit and he was so calm when the oven went down and he had to turn off the gas. I'm so glad he's joined the channel.

the way keith and kwesi were so calm and did not put added pressure on jonny when the oven fell was so wholesome.

Rachel is such a parent to these guys her laughing at Jonnies attempt to be cool and Keith saying, "Rachel doesn't know, and she never will." awesome stuff right there.

Kwesi: We should blindfold everybody and put them in a closet Zach: KWESI, NO!!!

PLEASE make this a series now where the guys try other jobs.

I love how Kwesi has a different pronounciation of the restaurant name Every. Single. Time. 😂

This whole video feels like Without A Recipe - Group Project edition. The editing and everything was just so funny. I hope we get to see more of “We Made a 5-Star ________ In Our Office”!!

We survived the TG divorce and now we have Johnny who is like mom’s new boyfriend that we love more than our biological dad.

inviting Michelin-starred chefs and TEENAGERS to your opening night is wild.

" if the pizza restaurant destroys the friendship then the friendship was meant to be destroyed" was so real to the service industry

A group of teens calling the vibes “millennial core” in a negative way is the deepest insult I’ve ever witnessed. Teens are brutal.

keith being so stressed and snappy when things were going OK, but then getting very calm and soothing as soon as something actually went wrong: got me in my feelings. very good. :')

As a server, Keith makes a great chef, he even acts like the chefs I work with, lol. The right attitude, keep going when shit goes wrong and he’s tough about it. He’d kill it in a restaurant.

The next step should 100% be them taking over a restaurant for the night (like Safiya did with the Boba shop but with WAY more pressure and WAY less supervision)

Zach felt the fear of going to the chef and asking for a re-do. Even down to the stance

keith as a chef is every server's worst nightmare when they make a mistake and have to let the cook know 😭

People think what the audience wants to watch is people being silly but what people actually want to watch is people caring deeply about silly things. Great video 🎉

Keith is such a “theatre kid/restaurant waiter” coded person that it was v interesting to see him as a slightly unhinged line cook

Keith in the backwards hat being such a good leader throughout was such a vibe 🔥 Also seeing Becky with the stroller made me shed a tear ngl, our Keith is a dad now!!!

I love how they're afraid of Rachel's disappointment its so wholesome 😂

Keith's emotional intelligene peaked during ovengate the way he stopped johhny from saying 'i knocked it over' and changed it to 'the oven fell'

Honestly, as a restaurant rat myself, they did pretty well. My favorite part was how spot on they got the BOH and FOH dynamic down so perfectly😂

I never worked on a restaurant or anything similar but I just know Kwesi's "let me check that with the chef but I never checked with him" is top tier restaurant worker knowledge 😂 congrats to all on your hardwork!

Johnny exasperatedly saying to a flaming pizza “Stop I’m trying to drink my wine!!” Is so funny

This is Rachel's greatest work. Keith hating the entire situation. Zach's childlike wonder. Kwesi is just a bundle of joy. And Johnny holding them all together (Johnny stan right here omg I adore him💞) It's brilliant.

28:16 Johnny must be drunk or something 😂 He’s drinking wine instead of checking the pizzas, he’s on his phone, and then he knocks the whole pizza oven down. I love it 😂

this is the most accurate representation of how working in the restaurant industry is and how it can very easily ruin friendships for 24 hours 🤣

Jared mimicking Keith’s Eat The Menu layout while trying the food was wholesome

Jared popping up during "Keith eats everything at" is always great, but Jared straight up becoming Keith and taking over the format is even better

Keith and Kwesi were great in a crisis. Reacted quickly and calmly. Keith giving commands and Kwesi reacting. Both telling Johnny it's okay. Love that!

This video tickled me so much. There were so many great moments. From the restaurant's concept development, to the tomato paste, to the pizza slices vs. centrifugal force, to the oven falling, to the chemistry amongst everyone amidst the absolute chaos. Doing everything with only one small oven was also a very bold choice. I feel like I was watching a live-action game of Overcooked. I get about as worked up as Keith when I play so props to everyone for keeping it so chill when it really mattered. Towards the end when they were reflecting about how surprised they were about how much they actually cared was also super cute, I hope everyone still loves each other lmao.

28:29 Keith: (immediately, calmly) “Turn off the gas.”👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Not a hint of panic. Very impressed with Keith’s leadership. In this episode and in the last year.

I love how it felt like Keith was genuinely stressed out this whole video, not just doing his angry bit. Then when it did actually go wrong he immediately snapped out of it and into problem solving mode. Calm, logical thinking to mitigate danger. Reassuring Johnny it’s okay and doesn’t blame him because, hey, accidents happen. And when Zach asks what happened, he didn’t throw Johnny under the bus, took accountability as a team, and recognizing the important thing is to move forward. I’ve worked all different kinds of jobs with many different kinds and levels of stress and pressure, and I can tell you that not a lot of people can react like that. Especially when they were already in a heightened level of stress. Mad respect for him. Henry is so lucky to have a dad like Keith.

The chemistry of these four is undeniable

The way I got more scared for them when Jaime and friends showed up than I was for the MICHELIN STAR CHEFS!!!! Jaime is BRUTAL! He lets NOTHING slide lol

Unpopular opinion but the new style of the channel is superior I feel like we all went through a divorce and this is the light at the end of the tunnel

Jared calling the lazy susan a “helping Lisa” has me straight up cackling 😂😂

"Millennial-core" is such a Genz thing to say 😂😂

I love how kwesi was the only not stressed throughout the whole thing. I aspire to be that chill bc in reality I am Keith lmao

Watching Keith handle the oven incident shows how great of a dad he will be. Very patient, understanding and didn’t place blame. I wish there were more people like that in bad situations ❤

Them not telling Rachel about the pizza oven is basically the equivalent of kids not telling their mom that they broke something. Which confirms that Rachel is THE mom 😂😂😂😂

"ding, motherf****r! ding!" That killed me 😂

After seeing Keith's reaction to the oven falling it's good to see if Keith's kid in the future ever got into a situation like that they wouldn't be yelled at, or blamed. He'd just help fix the problem. It would have been easy for Keith to go crazy like he does when he loses food challenges for comedy sake, but it was wholesome seeing Keith just reassure Jonny it was all good and they all fixed the issue together.

Honestly, Johnny checking his phone in the middle of kitchen disasters is the most accurate representation of working in the food industry I've ever seen

13:32 “if the pizza restaurant destroys our friendship then it was meant to be destroyed” has me crying 😂😂😂😂

This was one of my favorite try guys videos of all time. The chaos was unmatched. Maybe I'm biased as a career server/resturant manager but there were moment upon moment of relatable footage. I'm honestly so proud of this whole team for being able to go through this process without giving up? 10/10

“Let’s do this again!” “No!” 😂😂😂 Honestly this entire video was so wholesome and I loved the variety of people they served. I’m so impressed by what they pulled off! Johnny and Kwesi along with Keith and Zach were amazing! Definitely one of my favorite videos! More like this, please! 🥰

Johnny trying to not be uncool, and failing, in front of the teens is accurate.

Johnny going “is it REALLY!!?” When someone said the food was good was so perfectly funny

Keith handled the pizza oven catastrophe with so much grace, especially considering how obviously stressed out he was all day. HUGE respect.

The strong FoH/ BoH vibes in this video 😂 Also major props to Keith and Kwesi for keeping extremely calm and safety oriented during the oven incident. Champs. Keith's tough but fair leadership style the entire time really pushed service through. Love that we got to see his management style vs the hectic facade we usually see.

I know that we always see Keith blathering in (fake) anger when it comes to those cooking contests he loses but its nice to see how calm and cool he is when shit really goes down ala ovengate 2024.

Jared pulling an eat the menu intro is absolutely everything

“johnny cooked w this one” 😂

My anxiety cannot handle watching this again but sooo many cute bits that I loved! “I don’t know what that accent was but it was mysterious” killed me 😂 and I also loved that when Johnny tried to be like “I pushed the oven…” Keith reframes it and was like “the oven fell on the ground” so to not assign blame

The mass chaos of this all is giving family owned restaurants vibes. Keith and Zach bickering, Zach still actively trying decide if it’s a gay restaurant right up to the opening, Kwesi pronouning the name of the restaurant 5 different ways, the scrambling for things to work up until the last minute. Might be the best video of 2024 so far.

It's actually amazing what Keith and Johnny were able to accomplish with one tiny (subpar) pizza oven. With a full-sized pizza oven they would have been unstoppable!

I love the overwhelming reaction to completely avoid telling Rachel when the oven fell. They were all amazingly professional. It’s like they worked in the restaurant biz before lol.

kwesi is actually killing it at front of house!! and major points to keith for keeping it cool when the oven broke 😂

Keith is known for having the most dramatic freak outs when it's funny. But then being the calm assertive voice of reason when it truly matters is amazingly attractive 😂😂

I absolutely love how Keith was really showing leadership skills and made sure even when Johnny messed up on something that he was okay and reassured him everything is alright

As soon as it flashbacked to old clips of Jamie, I was instantly like "It's Jamie!!! Oh, he's a teen now?! Dang!" lol

I love how Keith is jokingly deeming but the second something actually happens that he could genuinely shame someone for he’s so calm and supportive

Everyone should work at a restaurant at least once in their life to really appreciate the industry.

the moment starting at 29:26 between keith and zach is so sweet and funny 😂 “and maybe… she never will”

“Millennial core” F’n killed me😂

I feel like they should make a series where they work different jobs for a day now (helps shine a light into how much actually goes into certain jobs)

I love how seriously Johnny and Keith took this challenge compared to Zach and kwesi 😂😂

JAMIE AND THE SCARY TEENAGE BOYS MADE A COMEBACK I'm crying 😂 great job everyone! y'all busted ass and it shows 👏🏼

the energy of this is chaotically immaculate. never has someone so perfectly captured the way a friend group crumbles in the face of a group project

the spinning pizza flying everywhere had me wheezingggg i had to pause the video from laughing so hard

Watching Keith under pressure is magic. Johnny going, "I broke the oven! 😭" and Keith saying, "the oven fell." Because he knows blame isn't helpful. He's gotta be just as stressed as Johnny, and probably kinda pissed off, but stressing Johnny out by emphasizing *who* broke it isn't going to make the restaurant run any smoother. Peak management style, Keith! ❤❤❤ *chef's kiss*

"Millennial core" is a fantastic way for the teens to make fun of you 😂

This is probably my favorite video on the channel. The chaos was immaculate. I would love to see a directors cut of this that’s like a hour long bc this was amazing

AHHH I LOVE THIS CONCEPT FOR A VIDEO HAHA, I HOPE THEY MAKE IT A WHOLE SERIES!! I feel like maybe the next one should be "We Made a Bakery/Cake Shop in Our Office" and have Johnny be the head chef/baker! And each video will be a different type of restaurant/bakery with one of their chef friends being head chef (eg. Monique and her restaurant would be a fine dining dessert concept restaurant) and ultimately at the end of the series you tally up the points to see which restaurant/bakery + head chef combo was the winner!
