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.
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
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!
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
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 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".
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.
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.
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 😊❤
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
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 :)
0:39 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.
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.
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
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.
@@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.

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!
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
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
Best chefs at each level ( for entertainment): Level 1: Emily Level 2: Lorenzo Level 3: Frank Grandma level: Beth (she doesn’t register as level 2 as grandma level is an experience+love thing )
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"?
"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!
@@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.
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.
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"
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!
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.
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.
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.
Emily has always been my favourite personality on the Epicurious series, and now I see that we Canucks are just drawn together. I don't know Bill very well, but he earns major points for actually just using the ingredients he was given instead of throwing a professional pantry at it. I don't mind when a pro adds a fun touch or two, but I've always really wanted to see the chef work only with what they're given.
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!
*Because I knew no one would do the math* I immediately knew they were missing the lobster on Bill's receipt. Because I used to work as a cashier at a grocery store, and I think I've rung up lobster twice in my 2 years there. Lobster is expensive, and the totals on each item didn't look familiar to me. So I manually added up every price on that receipt, and came to $128.01. The total should be $145.48, but everything listed amounts to $128.01. Around 20 bucks is missing. This means that the difference is $17.47. The missing lobster is $17.47. Probably because the clerks weighed him, wrote the price on the box he came in, and the studio threw out the box before they put it through editing on the video. Don't worry, we've all done that, lol.
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.

Velveeta is like the one thing that people never expect proffesional chefs to like yet they all do. It's a perfect plastic
The salt difference at 17:57 😁 was fun. I love this series in all!
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 immediately my new favorite for not adding anything but salt and pepper to the cheap dish. Hoping to see a lot more of him!
"I love ketchup, but I'm not insane."
Wise words to live by. Thanks Emily!
I need more Emily in my life.
Bill is great, I hope he returns again soon :D Emily - at this point I start smiling the second I see an Emily episode, she's just an absolute delight
*Because I knew no one would do the math*
I immediately knew they were missing the lobster on Bill's receipt. Because I used to work as a cashier at a grocery store, and I think I've rung up lobster twice in my 2 years there. Lobster is expensive, and the totals on each item didn't look familiar to me.
So I manually added up every price on that receipt, and came to $128.01. The total should be $145.48, but everything listed amounts to $128.01. Around 20 bucks is missing. This means that the difference is $17.47.
The missing lobster is $17.47. Probably because the clerks weighed him, wrote the price on the box he came in, and the studio threw out the box before they put it through editing on the video.
Don't worry, we've all done that, lol.
