Recreating Giada De Laurentiis' Chicken Parm Sandwich From Taste | Reverse Engineering | Bon Appétit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2022
- We challenged resident Bon Appétit supertaster Chris Morocco to recreate Giada De Laurentiis' chicken parmigiana sandwich in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen. The catch? He'll have to identify what he's making with a blindfold over his eyes, letting each of his other senses guide the way. Does Chris have what it takes to recognize and reproduce this crafty take on a worldwide-favorite Italian dish - without seeing exactly what it is?

“Pickled or preserved squash or lotus root ………. or maybe just raw tomato” I love Chris lol
"This is either a mythical concoction of unicorn hair and myrtle root, preserved inside an oak barrel in a cherrywood room in a castle in Skyrim...or perhaps it's raw tomato."
I miss Chris shopping for his own ingredients
I feel like he had way less chance of getting it right that way. I want to see him make a perfect 100% some day
I was saying this earlier today! It was so fun.
@@johnmillay6790 I think he has a better chance because he sees other possible ingredients.
Why did he stop shopping for the ingredients? I thought it was for COVID but I don't think he does it for COVID now.
I miss everyone else. Sad they left, but I’m glad they stood their ground. No hate for the new people or those that stayed…kinda weird it was the two white men.
As an April's Fool's day joke or something, I want one of these videos to be Chris trying to recreate one of his own dishes and see if he can even tell if it's his dish.
Realistically, he would immediately know.
Or a crazy stoner food. Not your usual flavor combinations
I can’t get enough of Chris recreating dishes, it’s always a journey trying to yell at him through the screen what he’s missing lol!
also love the seething rage he gets over an ingredient he missed/over thought.
If you aren't yelling at the TV then what you're watching isn't worth it 😆
@@cameronkoch482 it truly does look like it hurts him knowing he had it right at first hahaha!
@@johnmillay6790 so true! 😂
Panko, Chris! It’s panko!
a consistent judge would greatly benefit this series
Can someone get Chris a grocery cart so he can still ride around the test kitchen with it since he’s not going grocery shopping himself?
They need to make a little market for him in one of the offices. Conde Nast probably owns the building. Make it happen! Lol
@@kimbarbeaureads they definitely don’t own the building. Condé Nast is at one world trade lol
This is important
This
This is my favorite show and I love the challenge they put in front of Chris. It’s possible the overwhelming amount of the sun-dried tomatoes mask the basil but he did almost get it in the end. Chris your first guess is the right one, trust your taste’s buds! You are still a legend! I agree THATS NOT A SANDWICH.
Give him one of those '70s gelatin dinners with a bunch of meat and vegetables suspended in it.
Whoa! calm down Satan 😂 there’s enough violence in the world without doing that to a blindfolded guy lol
Love this series.
Had to laugh though that he clearly identified this dish as play on chicken parm and then in round 1 added no parm
Chris is the king of naming the dish and then ignoring all its traditional techniques (chicken breast, parm, baking and shallow fry) lol
I'm very surprised he didn't discern a tactile difference between fine bread crumbs and panko. Each panko crumb has to be several times larger - dozens of times, probably - than regular bread crumb. It also has a very different mouthfeel.
They should give Chris his own recipe at some point!
this comment!!!
I miss seeing Chris ride his cart through the grocery, and the camera op zooming in on the ingredient he’s missing that’s right nearby. Always down to see these though
tbh this show is so interesting it carries the entire channel for me, gj
I can't believe I'm 3 weeks
late watching a Chris video. Chris and Brad are really the only reason I still watch BA video's
Chris gets a B+ on a complex asian dish with a 100 ingredients and a B on a simple italian classic with a twist is a such an emotional roller coster lol. You would think he would figure out the basil, the chicken breast and the panko easily with his super taste buds. I guess I had higher expectations since he did so well in previous episodes. After all he is only human.
Super taster abilities only really relates to taste. Panko vs breadcrumbs and Chicken Breast vs thigh is all texture. The basil maybe, but I'd imagine the tomato would way overpower it.
@@angekfire yeah but missing the parm on the first round and then oregano on the second? I agree, this deserved a lower score
Yeah they went very easy on him in this one cause that score is waaay higher than it should have been lol ... Missing the chicken breast the panko the basil ... I mean those are kind of the main ingredients. And same for technique: deep frying instead of pan and then putting it in the oven ... That's a completely different technique. She was very generous with the score lol
Giada De Laurentiis studied at Le Cordon Bleu so her use of sun dried tomatoes makes sense.
My man with his legendary palate really just tasted a raw tomato and his first thought was pickled squash or lotus root?
I laughed out loud when he said it 🤣 but i think he as just being sarcastic
Bring back Chris going shopping himself!!! We need more Shopping Cart transitions
I love this series! thanks to Chris and the BA team!
Chris and Brad are literally holding BA on their own, without them they would drop like a stone
Wheres Harold??
Sweet! I was just browsing YT earlier today disappointed that I had watched every Chris Morocco recreating video. 👍🏼
a 92% for appearance - come off it! 70% at best! It looked so different!
Chris always gets an A+ in my book🥰
I have been binging this series all week! I am so happy to see a new one :) Chris abilities are insane!
"Hyper-modern, yet slightly dated" was such a perfect description
Chris is literally the best. So gracious with these other chefs who judge him, who couldn't get 3/4 of how close he got. Two thumbs up
Why doesn't Chris do his old shopping any more? That was one of my fav bits.
Likely covid. Not as responsible to run around a grocery store with a film crew in close proximity.
@@Dark0blivion oh right yeah that makes sense. Thought we were kinda ignoring that now!
@@andrewjolly319 also probably because the videos are now shot in one day instead of over several
The sun dried tomato SLANDER!! I will not stand for it 😂😂
MESSAGE TO THE EDITOR OF THE VIDEO:::: need to include the shot of someone taking Chris' plate away before he takes off the blindfold.
"hyper modern, slightly dated", "feels like a human ear", "sun dried tomatoes......." he is not impressed 🤣🤣
hyper modern, dated is such a burn
these never get old
He has such a hard job here and in this show generally. The fact that he gets close to very close, is a miracle.
2 and a half minutes in and he's nailed it already.
Ummm, not really
I'm always so shook when the judge docks Chris for using a different kind of oil. Like, yes EVOO and Vegetable Oil are different, but it's still an oil! 🤷🏼♀️
If the KFC Double Down had a posh relative, that's what I imagine it would look like.
Greatest series on this channel!
Living for the moonrise kingdom reference 1:18
Chris talks about tomatoes like they shoved him in a locker and stole his lunch money as a child.
I hate when chefs hate something just because it was a trend a while ago.
Literally made my day!
Favorite thing on the channel :) used to be its alive but this is so fun
Hands down Reverse Engineering is the channel on BA. More of Chris please!! :)
Dare I say he's getting better. Rock on Chris!! Do it to it.
I'm with Chris, if there is no bread it cannot be a sandwich, and I also feel sorry for him for never having had good sun-dried tomatoes.
I would love to see the initial scoring at the halfway mark in action. I always was curious about how this goes. Does Chris leave the room and they taste it? Is it the same scorer both times? I'm sure it is the case for both but just spitting out the initial score on a screen makes it feel so robotic when there is an actual person eating it. I think it could make it more entertaining too.
You're a delight Chris, keep up with the truthful aka snarkiness, this fan loves it!
One of my favorite parts of these videos was watching a grown man ride a shopping cart in public without a care in the world. I beg you Bon Appétit, bring it back.
The judges score was too generous. Deep fry vs pan fry. Thigh vs breast. Panko. Basil. Oregano. Finished in the oven vs residual heat in the skillet. Still impressive but technique score was far too high.
Agreed.
Plus ingredients score too high, he added additional ones not needed second time round and still missed a lot and they gave him the same score as the first round.
100% agree, too generous
I’m trying Chris version for dinner tonight 😉✨
only chris morocco would consider a pickled squash or a lotus root for a raw tomato lol
Amazing video thanks
I laugh to myself when Chris thinks he does really well but leaves out a bunch of stuff or gets things really wrong, but realize a) he’s doing the taste testing blindfolded and b) I’d never be able to do this myself.
What's with the hate towards sun dried tomatoes. Out of season they are a great way to get a nice tomato kick, I love them
Definitely miss seeing Chris do his own shopping!
BA’s best series!
I need this Sandwich!
Love watching Chris. 😎
Does Brad still have his segment? He’s the only reason I’d watch, that and watching Chris’s segment
😆🤤🤣🍾So much fun to watch!!!!!!
Amazing. I mady my own chicken parm last night; doing lots of stuff for the first time (like double dredged chicken and actually frying off in oil). Bonus, gluten free too :D
I get that the scores are arbitrary but how is his technique scored 85% in this? Didn't he prepare differently almost everything that could possibly be prepared differently?
I felt the same. She even said he got to the same place, which shows that she doesn't really understand the meaning of the word technique... Plus he got two of the most prominent ingredients wrong in the chicken and the bread crums, which resulted in the appearance being nowhere near 92%. Overall too favorable.
@@ManuelMueller84 totally agree
Re: Dolly zoom at 9:00
To the camera op who thought, "there's no way they're going to notice this, but it'll be fun" I noticed. It was fun.
I understand that he tries to deconstruct the dish, but I feel that it would help him greatly is he taste the entire dish, instead of the individual elements.
Very impressive! I want to see the homie deconstruct some barbecue xD
The number one thing this series has taught me: people who say chicken thigh is juicier and tastier than chicken breast are lying because if Chris can’t tell a difference, I definitely won’t be able to
Interesting point
Can we just talk about how he said it was some sort of chicken parm during the first tasting and then he didn't include parm in the first rendition!?!?!?
Although Chicken Parm can at times include Parmesan cheese, it is not named after the cheese.
Right?? 😂
Great challenge!
he is so incredible!
Chris has the force in his hart.
he is OB1 of flavor
There should be a life line where Chris can ale one more bite but it has to be a bite that contains all the ingredients similar to just truly eating the meal
Chicken Parm with Parm sounds quite reasonable...
Could you put Brad in the hot seat? I want to see the chaos!
THAT Wes Anderson reference ✨
Wow I really am a cooking nerd for watching and enjoying this lmao. Quarantine really got me to start cooking proper meals and I have to say that was time well spent. Cooking is such a useful life skill and even kind of fun once you get the hang of it.
I wish to see one day Chris nailing it 100%. I wouldn't mind even if it was staged in the end.
“Our friend, Mr. Out-Of-Season tomato…” 🤭 He’s no friend of mine!
I think that Emperor Rüdolpnus II would have appreciated Chris Morocco's performances in his courts (and competed with them privately).
You are correct Chris, it is NOT a sandwich.
Chris on sun-dried tomatoes: don't taste like much...sour shoe leather. LOL!
"Ummm Taste??" (At 13:07 secs...💀 Whomever edited the voice over, I'm literally 🤣 LMFAO ) .
highlight of my day every time reverse engineering is posted
Chris said “like” 56 times.
These always make me laugh.
Chris: *misses 5/16 ingredients including the main protein*
Host: 78%!!
Me: Uh....you don't know how to math!
But he added ingredients. I guess that contributes to the low score.
It is a 78% of the vibes and feels of the original dish.
I think some ingredients hold more weight than others, too
@@rring44 I mean the scoring is (and really SHOULD BE) vibes and feels based. The rigid mathematical scoring never feels right.
@@mahtillmann 11 out of 16 is 68%. The guy is complaining that Chris is being scored too HIGH.
But I think your response actually highlights why the guy's complaint is incorrect; Chris gets, exactly right, 11 out of the 16 ingredients, and then, let's look at his failures:
Chicken thigh instead of Chicken Breast
Plain Breadcrumbs instead of Panko Breadcrumbs
Vegetable Oil instead of Olive Oil for frying
The only things Chris straight-up misses the first time are the Parmesan cheese in the breading, and the Parmesan and Basil in the pesto. If you give Chris half-points for the three mix-ups above, you get 12.5 out of 16, which is 78%.
Want to see him challenged with a version of the Impossible Burger
A lot of times Chris's dish looks more appealing.
PLEASE don't tell me Chris is slandering one of my favorite all time ingredients, sun dried tomatoes.
One of his better scores. Just glad we didn't have to hear Giada say "mootzarehlllllla"
How do they pre-grade taste for the first attempt. It doesnt look like anyone else has tried the food, are they just guessing how close it tastes?
I love this show, I always thumbs up as soon as I click but hmm the scores seemed very forgiving on this one.
He's pounding out that chicken cutlet uncovered and I'm just >_< please tell me you're wiping down that entire station with bleach later.
Would still like to hear EVERY ingredient he added that wasn't in the dish and/or missed explained to him. I.E., he used pepper, oil and water in the pesto but none of those were in there. It's only a minor thing but would still be interesting to see his reaction.
I agree
Same however I was so confused that for the pesto the olive oil was red/not an ingredient on their list. The video of the original preparation clearly shows olive oil in the food processor and tomato jar.
@@TheMidnightSiege yeah that was a strange one to make red, presumably the oil in the mixer is that oil that the sundried tomatoes are in inside the jar (i.e. almost definitely olive oil). I guess the justification is that it's not a listed ingredient on the recipe but that feels a bit disingenuous.
What pen/pencil is Chris using in the beginning? 3:30
For some reason, this RE episode helps me understand how Chris worked at Vogue. "The ugly one."
Nice moonrise kingdom reference
10:11 had a mini heart attack right there.
I loove Chris
I miss all the old employees😔 all these new people, it’s just not the same personalities
That human ear of mozzarella looks like sour cream!
I love sun dried tomatoes...
