At this point, Monique is pretty much part of the TryFam already too with how much she's willing to indulge these guys in whatever food-related shenanigans they have for her.

Kwesi is the toddering kid to Monique's patient teacher. This episode is frankly adorable and not as intense as I'd expect from a two-time Michelin award winner. Such a relaxed video for what it's about, really.

This pilot already has my vote (right next to Zach's Trolley Problem pilot lol), it puts the Try back into the channel, and I think there is no greater joy (or comedy lol) than to watch a novice with zero experience to try to keep up with a professional!

Kwesi is a labrador retriever in human form. Good natured chaos.

Kwasi we didn’t THINK you were hamming it up, we HOPED.

Yes! I thought exactly this

Kwesi was so proud handing his chocolates to his wife, like a kid handing a handmade Mother's Day card to their mom, as he should have been! We're very proud of you Kwesi, they looked beautiful and delicious!

"'kay, I can do less, I can do less. Is that less?" "Nope!"

I’m only at 2:09, but I wanna say: I train people at every job I’ve ever had, and trying to train while working at a fast pace is a big fuckn challenge. I’m an expeditor and when we get busy there is absolutely no time to train; every second of my time is relegated to mental and physical organization of plates, calling hands, selling tickets, cleaning, garnishing, quality control, time management of every station in the kitchen, etc. Trying to train on top of doing something complicated and fast-paced is an added layer of stress, so before even watching this I wanna shout out the chef they have on.

Monique is so calm and amazing. She did such a great job with Kwesi. I applaud you as a trainer. I definitely don't have the patience to train in a fast-paced environment. I love to train in a classroom setting but not on the job.

She was so kind and patient with him! Way to go Kwesi, your bonbons looked SO good!

when i first saw the thumbnail i thought, “oh this is going to be a mess” but i was actually so surprised at how kwesi followed all of monique’s instructions actually pretty decently considering his cooking skills LOL he just seemed eager to do well and learn and it seemed like he had a lot of fun at the end! i loved this!!!

EASILY the best show of pilot month. Not even close. What a joy to finally have excellence brought into the Try Guys kitchen and not just the idiot side. Even with Phoning It In they are still not in the kitchen; it was such a delight to watch an expert do their work. And Kwesi was the PERFECT person to fill that role. No one is more earnest

Not that I don't love without a recipe, but I'm so glad they're doing food shows that involve actually learning to cook instead of just being pure chaos

This really shows what a difference having good instruction can make! I would've loved to see a little bit of commentary from Monique after the fact-e.g., discussing what went wrong with the ganache. Making caramel can be tricky and even counter-intuitive, especially when you haven't done it before, so it would've been really interesting to discuss that a little.

Didn't notice that! 😂

It’s neat to see the whole process explored without it being cut off to meet the deadline. That feels weirdly true to life. Anyone who is trying a recipe or technique for the first time will inevitably end up in overtime going “How do people DO this so fast??” It gives me appreciation for the skill while also making the recipe feel accessible. An amateur CAN make this…….it’s just really dang hard.

This was literally just so good. I can't believe how hard it is to make bonbons (as i've never see the process) and Kwesi pulling through and Monique being a 10/10 teacher was just so cool to watch!

i know people are focusing on kwesi and monique, but lets take a minute to appreciate the fact that kwesi made it for his wife? like that's so sweet of him 🥹

One thing I really like about this channel is how the guys are legitimately trying to do well. Crazy ideas, sure, but you actually want to make them work and not make trash on purpose just to get a funny reaction. This is a good video where Kwesi takes it seriously and does a pretty good job. Thanks!

monique is such a great teacher, she has just the right amount of patience and guides kwesi’s energy so perfectly i love it

Seeing the genuine joy on Kwesi's face every time he succeeds at something in the kitchen is so wholesome. I honestly got teary-eyed a little when he saw the final product.

A triumph for Monique and Kwesi both🙌 I was pretty nervous about the outcome, candy making is a pretty exact science. I breathed a sigh of relief when Kwesi's wife gave her thumbs up of approval 😂 I'm going to second someone else's comment and request we get a Roy Choi and Jared Popkin one next😁

I was honestly expecting much more chaos than what was delivered. I think that really goes to show the talent of Monique's patient teaching coupled with Kwesi's desire to do a good job. This was a really great episode and a fun pilot!

If this is a part of the pilot month, I would love to have more of these. Happy Easter, people.

kwesi: "I'm tempered? I'm tempered!" the opposite of vexed 😂

Petition to create some new series where Monique is always present 😅

Was lucky enough to work for a Chef who worked at The French laundry under Chef Thomas Keller. It was a privilege and honor to serve thier food. What an absolutely romantic gift for Kwesi to cook for his wife and to have such a brilliant chef teach him. Truly one of the best Try Guys episode I've ever watched. Signed the Hippo's old lady GenXer. Ya'll this is your gen's using the internet powers for greatness.

10/10 moni was a sweet yet strict instructor- you can really see how skilled she is. Kwezi is chaotic but sincere (and fun) + his Bon bons looked amazing for just about anyone's first try. Awesome balance! Much like a bonbon!

I'm so proud of Kwesi and so happy to watch Monique lead with a lot of contrast from the clips rolled in for head chef characters. It was really engaging to watch Kwesi visually try hard but still be himself and to watch Monique being really informative, realistic, and encouraging :). Great casting duo!! And Courtney's reaction at the end was awesome--I'm surprised!

this was so incredible to watch. I don't think I've ever been more proud of Kwesi than when he turned those molds over and his bonbons came out perfectly. 🥰Monique is a fantastic teacher and I'd love to see this pairing again! 😃

yay more chef monique!!! i love her calm vibes and the way she talks. also loooove this dynamic between her and the chaotic kwesi 😂

Kwesi did amazing! And Monique is such a great teacher! The ghosts effect on her had me rolling though🤣

Monique is maybe the calmest chef I have ever seen on screen 😊

You can tell what a good teacher Monique is by how good Kwesi's bonbons turned out!

Love how positive Monique is

The interns are versatile species. They always have the capacity to transform into any creature they want to transform into.

This is really fun and wholesome!! I love the balance of Monique keeping things moving and relatively on track while still having enough room and patience for Kwesi's learning.

Tbh, after the scandal happened with try guys. The quality of videos are sooooo good. So calming, so real, and no hard acting unlike .... I love it!!!

Kwesi those chocolates came out of their mold BEAUTIFUL and the loud crunch when Courtney was eating them was so perfect you NAILED the tempering, incredible work for working with chocolate for the first time !!

Monique is a badass, Kwesi is awesome, Rachel is a trooper with the patience of a saint, Courtney is STUNNING ❤❤❤❤ another banger!

I guessing the idea of this series if it continues is for different people try members to work with different chefs, but I'd honestly just watch Kwezi work with someone new each time because, while he can be chaotic, he does seem really enthusiastic and wants to try and learn. Though after Marissa did so well on without a recipe I would love to see her do this too.

I think this was such a phenomenal video, hats off to both Monique and Kwesi! This was also such a brilliant way to show that while making Michelin food at home can be done, it's still tedious work and incredibly technical, no wonder Kwesi said he would just buy them instead of going through the trouble of making them again, despite doing so well. I have so much respect for Monique for being so thorough in her instructions and making such quality sweets at the same time, that's so impressive! Those bonbons must be worth every cent and I have a newfound respect for anyone in the food service industry.

This was so good Kwesi did such a good job. I'd love to see Jared attempting to do something with a Michelin chef.

I LOVE THESE NEW PILOTS RACHEL!!!!! It's gonna be an amazing season of the try guys, I can already tell... Please give us some more, we love you!!!

Should’ve told Kwesi he was signing up for bicep day 😭 but did he kill it or what ??! YESSSS CHEF ! 🍫✨

I am really in love with this show idea. I think Kwesi did incredible, and Monique was really kind and patient with him. Even though I'm sure it was incredibly stressful for them, this gave a much less chaotic vibe than WAR, and I like that for a change of pace (love WAR, just never enjoyed the seemingly lack of time to actually make a lot of things). As someone that also would never personally attempt this kind of thing, this made it seem possible. Obviously it's not top tier quality, but for being someone that doesn't do stuff like that? I couldn't believe how well Kwesi was able to follow along and the end result I think was definitely 10/10.

I really loved this!! I'm a big fan of yall having a show with more genuine learning/teaching and less bits. Nothing wrong with the other cooking shows yall have (I love them seriously new season of phoning it in WHEN?) but I like how different this is compared to your other cooking shows!! Also I love Monique

This was so sweet and wholesome!! Monique is that strict teacher who pushes you hard but only because she believes in your potential

She's just so humble. An EXECUTIVE Pastry Chef is basically the 2nd Head Chef in a restaurant. Their salary is more or less the same, if not higher sometimes, than the head chef of the restaurant. A pastry chef is such a rarity that when a restaurant has one, oh you should know that it's gonna be good and EXPENSIVE

Monique was being so patient for a two stared Michelin Chef. You can see the entire change in her person when she gets serious cooking!

Monique is such a gem

Anyone else hear Johnny Cake voice saying…Oh no, Oh no we are using chocolate melts.

monique is such an incredible person! loved this video concept

I’m actually really glad it worked out for kwesi and Monique!

WHAT WOULD'VE MADE THIS PERFECT & HILARIOUS, is once finishing w Monique, Kwesi had to turn around and be the head chef to a new sous chef. See if he remembered. I LOVED seeing this pilot tho. Kwesi, Monique, & Courtney did fabulously together. For balance, it would've been nice to get something more after the finishing touches of building. Would've loved more discussion on the experience, like someone else said maybe more commentary from Monique about the breakdown of the pitfalls or narrow misses, maybe her reaction to his try. Something more than done & over.

This format is FANTASTIC!! Please do more like this!

Please give us more Kwesi + Monique! This was absolute perfection!! Please please please give us moreee of them!

Kwesi"s bon bons looked great!! Monique is a great teacher

Monique got amazing results while being firm, but kind. The Bear could learn a thing or two from her 🤣

Kwesi did such a good job! And Monique as usual was amazing! This was a fantastic pairing and I had so much fun watching Monique at work creating such beautiful bonbons.

I want this to be longer

These two together is such a great match, Monique is amazing as always 🥰

Being trained in a kitchen and having someone cooking or baking with you that’s not trained is such a testing of patience. It sort of feels like working with a child. I suppose being trained in anything and having someone that has no clue working with you is like that. I give Monique such credit for doing this. Teaching is so hard and big credit to teachers too. And credit to anyone willing to learn. Dang, this video really opened my eyes. I wasn’t ready for this today ❤

I cannot believe Kwesi successfully tempered chocolate on his first try. Even with a pro chef RIGHT there, that's seriously impressive

11:45 kwesi: i-is that less? monique: nope 😀

I’ve worked with many professional chefs and her ability to stay calm is so impressive to me

Whoever came up with SOUS ME deserves a Nobel prize

Monique is so sweet and patient! Kwesi is so genuine and fun! Love the teaching aspect too, with just a touch of chaos ❤
