-->'''Claire''': Why Chris? Because he's my favorite.

** Claire says “cut this shot”, then the editors put it in twice

* TooCleverByHalf: Claire has a tendency to overthinking things now and then. While attempting to replicate Ferrero Rocher chocolate, she begins the process to make her own hazelnut filling...before realizing that the chocolates are just filled with Nutella.

* CanadaEh: Everyone in the test kitchen--including Claire, who expresses disbelief she spent a whole year in Montreal without encountering them--goes bananas for the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-dressed All Dressed]] Ruffles. Canada jokes ensue.

* MediumAwareness: Claire obviously knows she’s in a YouTube video, but in the M&Ms episode she refuses to say it’s not going to be that hard just for negate the possibility of that line been call back when she’s having a meltdown. In other words, she negated the possibility of using a Running Gag

** During the Sour Patch Kids episode, Claire declared she needed a break, so she replaced Amiel by pretending to be him for the Deep Fried section of “Every Way to Cook a Steak”

* WellDoneDaughterGirl: While Claire values the feedback of all of her co-workers, it's the advice and validation of Chris Morocco that she looks for more than anyone else's.

* OverlyLongGag: Near the start of every Make, Claire will read out the, often very long, list of ingredients present in each food.

* {{Crossover}}: The Starbursts episode was filmed at the same time as the sourdough doughnuts episodes of ''WebVideo/ItsAliveWithBrad''. Most of Brad's disruptions are saved for the ''It's Alive'' videos, but him failing to fold the dough does make it into ''Gourmet Makes''.

* InSeriesNickname: Claire "'''Half-Sour'''" Saffitz. Dubbed by Brad Leone of ''WebVideo/ItsAliveWithBrad'', not realizing Claire was in the room and could hear him, in reference to Claire's DeadpanSnarker tendencies.

* SupremeChef: Claire is trained in classic French cuisine and pastry, and it shows. Not only does she manage to recreate the foods each episode focuses on but she improves them.

* RunningGag: The Day Three Curse. While many episodes have their ups and downs, more often than not, anything that can go wrong '''does''' go wrong on day three.

''Gourmet Makes'' is a CookingShow in which host Claire "Half-Sour" Saffitz attempts to recreate and elevate foods, particularly junk foods, to the point where they could be considered ''gourmet''. Airing since July 2017, the series has accumulated over 135 million views.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first two episodes, Twinkies and Gushers, are filmed from one of the benches in the back of the kitchen as seen in later episodes. Every episode from then on are filmed further down the kitchen. As are most videos posted on the BA [=YouTube=] channel. Earlier episodes didn't have the massive pile of the food Claire was making in front of her.

* SeasonalRot: Many viewers felt that, particularly the Starburst and Pop Rocks episodes, were less about making Claire create a gourmet version of a food but about seeing her exactly recreate something purposefully difficult to make. What specifically aggravated fans was the fact that Claire openly said she didn't want to do the episodes and was clearly not enjoying making them. Quickly redeemed by the fact that the Pop Tarts episode was extremely doable and Claire was enjoying herself and was obviously very proud of herself.
