$279 vs $19 Sushi: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

  • Professional chef Yuji Haraguchi and home cook Joe are swapping ingredients and hitting the kitchen to make sushi rolls. We set Joe up with $279 worth of supplies - everything he’d need for his attempt at Yuji's somewhat intimidating recipe. Meanwhile, a modest $19 worth of ingredients was sent back the other way to be elevated into something gourmet by our esteemed pro. As she’s known to do, food scientist Rose dialed in to assist Joe with a few questions he had along the way. Whose sushi are you rolling with?

    The initial dismayed reactions (and Joe's periodic recurring moments) when their ingredients were taken away was a great start to set the tone of contrast throughout the video! Both chef Haraguchi and Joe were such good sports as they adapted. Joe's confidence in encountering the limits of his experience made for a humble yet positive sense of humor. Yuji's skill in improvising was amazing. (and I lurve fried salmon skin -- every time I use salmon, I'll willingly triple my meal prep time just for that extra step)
    P.S. I have no idea how much time it took Joe to tackle so many unknowns, but every time I've gotten in over my head on a recipe or dish it has been triple or worse my intended prep time. Big props to him, and I hope behind the scenes there was a helping staff hand or three to make sure everyone wasn't stuck on set for like 6 hours!
