$145 vs $10 Mac & Cheese: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 апр 2024
- Professional chef Bill Clark and home cook Emily are swapping materials and hoping for the best! We set Emily up with an eye-popping $145 worth of ingredients from chef Bill’s kitchen along with his luxurious lobster mac and cheese recipe. To lend a helping hand, food scientist Rose dialed in to offer some of her trademark wisdom and encouragement. Over with Bill, a more reasonable $10 recipe from Emily was being accentuated on the fly in a quest to make it something gourmet. Grab a bottle of ketchup and tune in to find out who came out on top under these mixed up circumstances!

I like how Bill isn't sh*tting on the low budget everyday mac & cheese, but treating Emily's version as the approachable comfort food it is.
Yup. Even pro chefs come from a place of doing basic stuff at least when they're young. Nice to see one not be a snob and have fun
It doesn't matter like, Pro chef will makes cheap food looks delicious in the end anyways.
It is what it is and it's great!
I’m imagining this is almost all scripted and they know that they are getting this ingredient
Imagine thinking ketchup and Velveeta belong in home made mac&cheese.
Chef Bill is one of the few chefs who stuck to the spirit of the series and utilized the ingredients he was provided instead of just rummaging around in the cabinets to make a version closer to their swapped dish. Definitely one of the best in the series for that reason alone.
He and Saul are excellent.
@@FrancesBaconandEggs I prefer Paul
stimmt
I like frank and lorenzo
Agreed. It's natural I think for there to be a bit of embellishment but sometimes I find they go over the top, whereas this episode like you say, kept true while still adding simple but effective chefy touches
I love how her first reaction to those ingredients was "Theres a CREATURE-" immediately followed up with a slightly calmer "well I guess I'm making lobster mac n cheese" lmao
I was kinda waiting for her to not realize it was still alive...and grab it, and freak out when it started flailing..
This episode was so refreshing! Usually the chef talks down on the cheaper recipe, the chef wasn't even phased and Emily made me so proud this episode. I remember when she put ketchup on her steak now sis is a home cook. I cook almost everyday and I would be terrified to cook the lobster.
I don't even know Emily, but I'm so proud of her. She went from being a level 1 chef to a homecook in the course of this series. That's character development!
Homecook to level 1 Chef you mean :)
@@RedRoseSeptember22 ???no
@@RedRoseSeptember22 no they were right. level 1 is takeout and basic recipes and level 2 is homecook
@@rosequeen2587 She's only referred to as home cook in the cheap vs. expensive ones. she's still level 1
She’s still level 1. All chefs from level 1 and 2 are considered home cooks since they “cook at home”
We need more episodes like this! No adding extra stuff on the pro chef's side, just changing the technique! This is a perfect episode, now we can do it at home since the "cheap" recipe is something almost all of us can afford.
Yes! I was getting so sick of these pro chefs completely destroying the point of the challenge, like Palak in particular... she was the worst offender, when making the dosas. Then there was the girl that made her own gluten free cheescake base, like this isn’t about your personal diet, if you’re taking this challenge then take the challenge! If you’re going to ignore the whole point, then don’t be on the show.
You can tell this guy is an actual pro because he can work with what he’s given instead of bending the rules to try looking like he’s making the dish fancy.
@@Lily-qb1xv Shut up lol and stop complaining
@@ace6277 Did I piss off a hardcore Epicurious stan? Interesting lmao. Sorry for making accurate observations.
@@Lily-qb1xv I think the point of the challenge is more using more common, easily available ingredients to make a quality dish, instead of the specialized, expensive ingredients they give to the home cook.
It's more about the accessibility to the ingredients rather than the price of the ingredients. "More likely to find in the pantry or your local grocery store".
i made this comment to have a 1k likes
After months of not watching Emily, i could say that she improving like a pro... improving her cooking skills...
Im looking forward to her promotion as level 2 chef in coming months or year/s!
We love to see level 1 grows from love & lessons taught by seasoned Professional Chefs.
The fact that Bill doesn’t add anything but just uses his skill and experience to improve the dish is just... (cue chefs kiss) _Mwah!_
Love that the chef isn’t snobby about the velveeta.
protecting us from the hi5
same
Velveeta is super useful as a means of emulsifying hard cheeses. Tastes fine on its own, and not so flavorful that you can’t mix in other cheeses if you want.
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 Not sure if trolling but if the taste is a problem, you can achieve the same texture/melting properties of velveeta by melting the cheese of your choosing down in some evaporated milk and then combining it with gelatin. It’ll handle exactly like the store-bought stuff, while tasting however you like it.
Velveeta is like the one thing that people never expect proffesional chefs to like yet they all do. It's a perfect plastic
You can call Rose for anything, how to prepare a sauce, how to knead bread, how to blend ingredients, how to kill a living thing, how to bake a cake...etc.
With a name like Rosemary Trout, she chose the perfect career
we prefer the word dispatch
I wish I could call Rose!
@@worldpeace6322 same! I totally agree! It's such a beautiful and career fitting name
How to kill a person and get away with it
The salt difference at 17:57 😁 was fun. I love this series in all!
Absolutely love the fact that the pro chef isn’t changing the ingredients but instead using the ingredients in a different, fun, creative way.
I really love how he didn't add much to the dish at all, he mostly just changed the execution of ingredients to enhance it
That’s how this game should be played. I can’t believe the show producers never complained about the pro chefs adding expensive ingredients to the originally affordable ingredient list, just to show off. XD
@@annasin90 I remember watching this series pre covid where they had to make it at the Epicurious test kitchen and they couldn't add anything, just change execution. I can't wait for this series to go back to that
@@pepperbird67657 things were just more fun and fair pre-covid, weren’t they? ;c
This challenge was legit .
Pro chef not adding any extra stuff .
Except for the eggs, but i agree that its way less then others indeed.
@@micamaca1337 and at least eggs are a staple you'd expect in any kitchen
@@CamPopplestone yesss unlike other half bottles of olive oil or 200+ spices for a single dish
Saul also doesn't add any more ingredients
Honestly agree so much. The home chef uses all your fancy ingredients you could try and rummage up something tasty. But I totally understand including something important like an egg or milk in certain dishes so that's fine :)
I just had to say that it was so sweet seeing how kind and respectful they were to each other, you could genuinely feel the respect from each other. Great video, thank you so much for sharing 😊❤
I'm proud of Emily. These recipe changes episodes usually use pro v lvl2 chefs. It shows she's getting better. I raise my ketchup bottle to her.
Chef Bill : "don't worry Emily I didn't forget the ketchup'
Damn it's so sweet
I'm still very confused as to why the ketchup is included at all. I'm American, but never in my life have I ever seen a person eat mac & cheese with ketchup.
But then, I one saw a guy in a restaurant put mustard in his grits, so some people just have some really weird food preferences.
I have NO idea WHY that ketchup is in there? Who the eff makes Macaroni and Cheese with ketchup?! DISGUSTING! Is she 5 years old? Also, her recipe is just disgusting overall.
It’s more of a Canadian thing
@@mandytirado7360 People with different tastes?! DIGUSTING!
@@mandytirado7360 Nevermind, Just noticed that ALL your other comments on this channel are just insulting Emily's appearance and personality.
I think you have a problem.
"Looks like they'll let me back into Nova Scotia"
did... did they exile Emily for her ketchup crimes?
😅

@@sajid7039 It's true, I do!!
i love all the homecooks and chefs on this damn show. i am addicted and i have come up with so many amazing ideas because of it
I thought Emily was gonna cry when she tried her mac n cheese, and kudos to Bill for not adding anything extra to his recipe! I think only him and Esther ever respect the recipes
"tHerE'S a CreAtUrE" LMAO I LOVE HER
the quintessential millennial wine aunt.
and not seeing her face is extra funny because u can already imagine HAHA
I effin’ DIED at that. AHHHHH XD
She’s annoying
I like how she said to the lobster IM FROM NOVA SCOTIA WERE FROM THE SAME PLACE
Shoutout to two Canadians on today’s video: Emily 👧🏼 and the lobster 🦞 🇨🇦
Sadly, by the end of the video, there was only one Canadian left 😢
Shout-out to The Maritimers abroad from the Home Country

One of many reasons that I absolutely adore Chef Clark.
Just based on his reaction alone, upon first seeing the "cheap" ingredients, it's abundantly clear to us that he sees it as an exciting challenge he can solve with the use of Chef skills.
Both of these people had the perfect attitude when approaching a challenge like this from opposite angles. Wonderful senses of humour and a down to earth charisma that is refreshing to see.
Holy cow, this is the first time since... I don't even know how long it's been since the pro chef didn't add a bunch of extra ingredients from their own pantry. Well done Chef Bill for making a $10 mac and cheese that's ACTUALLY $10!
Right! He was so inventive with what he had--it was a joy to watch! And he's so sweet and not snobbish at all. Would love to see more of him here
"I've never done this before but I'm willing to believe its in my blood" - Emily is a whole vibe I love it
I love Chef Bill and Emily! Such awesome people. This episode was fun to watch. Thank you
I think these two need to come back for another round. They both warm my heart in different ways. I would love to have dinner with either or both of them!
I love that Bill didn't add a ton of extra ingredients and is so sweet and down to earth!
Also, Emily continues to be the greatest human ever and every line she says is priceless
Agreed!
I love that he’s versatile with both the cheaper and more expensive ingredients.. didn’t need to add anything expensive to the cheap ingredients to make it delicious, didn’t say anything negative about the ingredients, or lack of. I really like him and wanna see him on here again.
11 months later, your wish came true, twice.

Love Bill!!! My new favorite chef!!!
Sooo good at playing his role. Hope to see him on more.
This is a classic for the purists. Emily is always awesome. Thank you chef Bill for sticking to the spirit of it.
I love that Bill used Emily's ingredients and didn't substitute everything out. He's a joy to watch!! Also Emily is the best!
"A little more - SALT!!!" *recreates the dead sea in his pot* xD
To be fair, the water you boil pasta in should taste like seawater.
@@brianstraight9308 yeah no literally that's how much salt my family and I have always put in the water bahaha
This might be the most relatable chef yet, I love the others too but this one has personality and I like that
I love that they both laughed because of how much they enjoyed it
Please pair these two together again! Their personalities and recipes go together well. :)
Agreed! And I think they even crushed on each other a little in the end there lol. So sweet!
I'm pretty sure he's gay. Someone mentioned it in the comments of one of the other videos he was in
Agree. This video was one of the best so far. I like how the chef elevated the dish with technique alone and Emily was a joy as usual.
“It tastes like a bowling alley” i feel that’s the best way to describe velveeta 😂
Don't know what a Velveeta is but now i think i know based on the excellent analogy 😂
I started reading your comment as soon as he said it 🤣
I enjoy emily's episodes so much, something about her personality makes them alot of fun for me.
The color of a cooked lobster is truly incredible man. That deep red 🤤
OK, who else saw Emily in the thumbnail and instantly clicked to see how the pro chef would use the ketchup?
A rare occurance! A pro chef that doesn't add additional ingredient to improve the homecook recipe!
He did add eggs tho
@@Bojoschannel eggs are cheap so it's not hurtful to add
@@Bojoschannel They’re just eggs, not legendary ostrich eggs that he had to fly out of the country to collect personally in the wild.
I don't know why any side should ever be able to add or subtract anything. Is that not the whole challenge? Honestly, the bar is so low that everyone is happy he only added one ingredient and ignored how he just let the definition of croutons morph into large friend cheese-product sticks.
Also, lack of added ingredients aside, I am sure both chefs cooking their original recipes would have been better compared to the other cooking it, which just shouldn't be the case with a pro chef cooking. Again, such a low bar it makes me sad.
"It tastes like a bowling alley, in a good way." 😅 Both of them adapted so well! I like them both 😊 and I really want to make that lobster mornay sauce now!
The way chef Bill goes all: IT'S BEAUTIFUL was do wonderful, because he is a good, humble human being.
This video captured the essence of Pro vs Home cook. No extra fancy ingredients, the sweet explaining style of the Pro Chef - All these made this video damn good
Emily: I’m a home cook
Me seeing Emily usually as a level one chef: Hold up... wtf
she's leveled up XD
@@jessicalin9446 no she didn’t, this is a different series
@@vincentcordi r/woosh
jkjk
So proud 😭😭😭
@@vincentcordi Bro she did level up. Level 1 wouldn't even be able to handle a knife properly to purge a whole lobster, even if it were with instructions. If you look at Emily when she is still Amateur vs Home Cook now, she has improved a lot.
I love that this chef stuck pretty Close to her ingredients . Many don't so this was refreshing and fun to watch
Emily is such a joy. I'm like a dozen videos in and the Emily videos always make my day!
Lobster: *siting on the pan waiting to die*
Emily: HEY!! wE'r fRoM thE SaMe pLAcE!!
Ok I know this is odd, But anyone who wants to can go check out "Airsoldiers Airsoft" its a very small channel but it puts out some great content! thanks.
Awesome
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Atlantic provinces represent!!
*Emily: HEY!! wE'r fRoM thE SaMe pLAcE!!*
People seriously do not seem to know when to type like that.
I love Chef Bill!! He’s so soft spoken and positive. I hope we get more of him.
I love Chef Bill, and with Emily!? Great time watching this episode!
These videos have been giving me the warm and fuzziness today. I'm going to try some cross between Bill and Emily's recipes tonight!
Progression of Emily:
I'll put ketchup on it because I'm a monster. -> I won't put on ketchup. I love ketchup, I'm not insane.
*CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT*
Ever Fan can relate ❤️
Am I the only one that still gets SUPER happy when I see Emily being referred to as a "Home Cook"???
We were with you from the Level One beginning!!! :D
So my favorite ingredient for Mac and cheese is definitely the microwaveable macaroni pot from tescos I’ve found this works super well! 🥰💖
Awwwww Emily being her awesome self and killing it in the kitchen.
I haven't finished this yet, but I'm excited for when Emily puts ketchup directly on the live lobster.
You shall be disappointed once you finish the video 😞
I appreciate that he actually made the $10 macaroni and not "whatever he felt like with a small ketchup garnish"
Isn't that the point of this series? When on this series have you see something like "we are making X dish, but I'm gonna do a different dish with the cheap ingredients"?
@@he96765 Frank's utter mockery of a "carbonara", say?
@@AlaiMacErc I like frank since he’s concise and pretty based but I will say he isn’t perfect
Emily's energy is amazing!
Thank you Chef Bill!!!! This was amazing to watch. I'm glad you didn't down talk cheap ingredients.
We stan that professional chefs can appreciate Velveeta cheese.
All mac and cheese dishes are beautiful.
All mac and cheese matter 😂
No they’re not if you’re putting hot sauce and ketchup in it.
Frank was busy breeding his own lobster
you could have worded this better 😭
Sir....
This episode is great! Also I totally get what bill was saying with the Tabasco and adding some vinegar too it. One of my favorite things to pair with mac n cheese is kombucha for a pop of sour with something so rich!
The camaraderie between them while they're showing each other their dishes! So nice! : )
Me: **reads title** So no ketchup?
Emily: Hold my beer with a side of ketchup...
"I love ketchup, I'm not insane" xD
And here I am trying to KETCH-up to all y’all!!!!🥫
Ketchup & Kraft Dinner Classic Combination.
There was ketchup in the thumbnail
Until the video starts, I always assume there is ketchup with Emily after the French toast one. 😂
The energy on this episode was exceptional. Bill and Emily are such a great duo! 10/10
Chef Bill is immediately my new favorite for not adding anything but salt and pepper to the cheap dish. Hoping to see a lot more of him!
Bill cooks likes he's making something foe himself and not just a restaurant type food. It makes it way more practical and now l learned something i can do.
I like how the Pro chef is just sticking to the ingredients that Emily sent and didn't add anything extra
Right? All of them just look at the cheap ingredients and go like "nah, I'll just use this whatever specialty ingredient that I have laying here in my cupboard"
I miss them tasting and reacting to each other’s dishes at the end! I understand why epicurious isn’t doing that anymore, but I still miss it!
why aren't they doing it anymore?
@@jinhub2175 COVID obviously
@@bakadeshi_aunstudios they shouldn't be filming this then if their reason was covid(?)
They do the new one with the
tasting.
We need more of Bill Clark!!!
I love it. She reminds me of me...more than the name. The way she cooks and her knowledge ..not professional but still knows enough to get the job done. ❤️ Great video.
the pro chef is the only chef that didnt add any ingredients from the home cook
the lobster and emily being from nova scotia is so funny
Why?
Bill seems like such a chill happy guy
this show is addicting! Keep it up both home chefs and pro chefs!!
I like that Chef Bill stuck with the original ingredients. He’s a great addition to the channel.
If Frank was making the Mac & Cheese it would probably be like "Step 1: buy a patch of land to grow your own wheat."
P. S. I love this channel and all of these chefs!
Frank was cooking on his own channel and I forget what he was making but here was me in the comments making all these suggestions to make his recipe better not realizing he was an actual professional chef. I think I corrected something he said wrong as well. It was strange because you can tell he is a professional chef on "Epicurious" but "Proto cooks" he seemed nervous and unsure what to do in his few first videos.
I actually like Frank in these videos because he will also not add anything and just use what is given, yet he will try to elevate the dish - just as Bill did here.
I like how this chef is giving instruction for things.
I love this chef! We need more content from him!
The Pro Chef is awesome. His love of Processed Cheese is really appreciating. ^_^
I love watching Emily cook.
It makes me feel entertained and strangely inspired to cook too.
Bill is purely awesome, because he has always stuck. To using what is in the box. No looking for stuff he might have. True chief of great skills.
If been watching all of these and I never get bored
Emily is so relatable, I love her. The pro is also really nice and beginner-friendly. Love this
Wow, Emily ranked up from level one cook to home cook.
Home cook are level 1 and level 2.
She did those à couple times before.
This is a different series she’s still level one
@@maximelepage7664 oh didn’t know that
I thought home cook was Level 2
@@maswiyat_i maybe I wasn't clear enough. Here it's a different série. Pro chef vs home cook is level 3 vs level 1 or 2. They don't make the distinction here.
In the other série home cook is indeed level 2.
I need more Emily in my life.
This is me immediately looking up where i can get that crank to make cavatelli after seeing Emily.... OMG I need that in my life!
I loved Bill. He really reminds me of that friend who is really good at cooking, but also one of the guys you play Call of Duty with too :)
The holy trinity of epicurious: Emily, Lorenzo and Frank.
Yes but not only. Also John, Sharif, Saul, Julie, the Italian American grandmother, Ayesha and the relatively new level 3 who made lobster roll using every bit of the beast. All worth watching, all worth learning from!
@@shvat26 agreed
"It tastes like a bowling alley.... but in a good way!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I took a screenshot of both of them adding salt to the pasta water because that's honestly one of the funniest thing I've ever seen
"I love ketchup, but I'm not insane."
Wise words to live by. Thanks Emily!
"there's a creature!" that was iconic
I really love when the chefs aren’t snobby about doing the home cook’s recipe; like instead of being grossed out by the Velveeta he acknowledged the nostalgic qualities of it, saying it reminded him of home, of being a kid, of bowling alleys!
I love Emily’s personality. By the way, extra points for the free entertainment, a.k.a. The Singing Cook
If it involves Mac & Cheese, you better believe I ran to watch this video! 😍
Emily is from Nova Scotia?! I knew I felt a kinship with her, and now I know why
I was so excited to see Emily was promoted to homecook ❤ so awesome
This was a good video. Now I'm craving Mac-N-Cheese! 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Both are great peeps. It's nice when a professional doesn't act snobbish and condescending to a home cook. Both have great, fun personalities.
