“We make about 13 to 14,000 cookies every week. For wholesale it's about 28,000 items weekly. We can get all of these things done with planning, a great team, and really big mixers.” Bon Appetit spends a day on the line with Brianna Fortiz, pastry chef at The Good Batch in Brooklyn, a small bakery that also operates as a mini factory for 200 wholesale clients in New York.

    The way the owner knows and gladly lets Brianna runs the shop's operation speaks volumes about B's professionalism
  • @cajunfid
    Brianna needs her own baking show. Such a natural teacher.
  • @xxgo0kst3rxx
    You tell she loves that place, her boss, she has been well taught and nurtured but also very young with a long way to go. Her potential is huge!
  • It’s amazing how fast the owner went into action. Gotta be a quick thinker to solve problems 👏🏽
  • @Ang3lxNick
    I went to prom with Brianna! I'm happy to see her doing amazing things as a pastry chef ^_^
  • @emilywynstra
    I absolutely love these BA videos where we get a glimpse into lesser known duties of food/restaurant careers!
  • @mschilepepper10
    I could of sat here and watched for hours. Loved how she explained everything and her olive oil cookie with the balsamic vinegar cream and peach paste filling ice cream sandwich cookie is something I would be willing to try because I do enjoy olive oil cake 👍🏻
  • @corgeousgeorge
    That comfort cake seems like it would be perfect for an adult. Like, not too sweet, a little sour, just more depth of flavor and not just slapping you in the face with sugar. I'd definitely want a slice.
  • @talya907
    oh I love her. what a great girl. she needs her own show, owner is lucky to have her and knows it!
  • When she said “the only wall we like” while frosting the cake 😂yes👏🏽
  • @camerica7400
    They need a proper dehumidifier for there freezer before the entire thing bust :(
  • @Gannicus-USA
    B can also have her own cooking show. Such a pleasant demeanor and has a stage presence
  • @MaureenDrees
    What an interesting tour! Thank you to Brianna, you’re knowledgeable, articulate, and enjoyable to listen to.
  • @johnt7776
    Brianna needs her own YouTube channel! Personality in spades.
  • @mariofepa
    I'm sorry but I could not stop thinking about his woman needing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system with the amount of orders she manages. Incredible operation she manages
  • What an operation! So well organized and efficient. Congrats on her much deserved success!🙌🏻
  • @PaulineEvanosky
    I enjoyed this video so much. There are times when I want to bake, and just because I can't make up my mind, I do absolutely nothing and eat a Pop-Tart instead. Even though you were all so busy, everybody had such a serenity. Busy and serene all at the same time.

    Brianna is amazing! Love listening to this and watching behind the scenes.
