It's funny how in the newer episodes where he goes wrong is often adding too many ingredients that arent there, he's been burned too many times by things that hardly contribute to the flavor 😆
I think he would recognize his own dishes immediately. He is Chris Marocco, not a random amateur. A little bit of failure and doubt is, what makes this format so exciting.
May be it would be a "gimme" but I think it would really be fun to see what he goes through. Frankly, if he guesses his own dish right off the bat he probably deserves an easy one.
The nutmeg really impressed me. But it's so fascinating that Chris guesses the most exotic dishes right and then something like ravioli is so tough. The simplest things are often the hardest.
@@eugeniahimangee8653 absolutely. When Nutmeg comes to the party, you don't often miss it. Plus, whenever Italians or Greeks use cream in a dish, they'll traditionally add a pinch of nutmeg. (Ricotta isn't cream, but the mild creaminess would fall into the cream category instead of the sharp aged cheese category.)
@@davidsommen1324 but it would be extremely subtle. Spinach is known for being able to dye food without affecting flavor because it's so naturally pigmented. The amount required to make it green actually might not have tasted like spinach at all, or just barely. They couldn't use much because it would affect the integrity of the dough otherwise.
one time at a hibachi restaurant this happened to me with yumyum sauce in front of everyone it was so embarrassing 😭😭 and then he made me a new plate so i felt even worse
This is a common issue with oil in those bottles. I’ve been sabotaged by them too many times. The plastic stretches over time and the seal is broken with the oil
How does "he should do his own dish" become a top comment on EVERY video. It's a bad idea and it's every time! He's way too good for that. Give the man some credit.
I think it would also be fun to see Chris blindfolded in the kitchen while they're cooking so he can hear and smell the cooking process. Possibly also tasting the dish at the end but would be a fun spin to just try without.
If any of the editors hesitated about "spoiling" Chris' reaction to them being green at the beginning of the video I can say with confidence that you made the right decision. The buildup was even better knowing what was coming.
I don't know why, but there is something that just gives me a real sense of joy when Chris suffers. Schadenfreude Supreme. But I was really quite impressed that he came up with the nutmeg, and I have to give him props for that.
Whoever edited this.... c'mon. I saw the thumbnail and that was the ONLY thing I wanted to see if he got or not. And clearly he didn't, and I learned this at 0:02. Come on! Keep me in suspense for at least a few minutes.
Exactly!! I absolutely hate when shows do this all the time, you have to skip first few minutes sometimes to be safe. Why even do this monstrous thing?? Do people actually like it?
I feel like he nailed it! He’s so talented and can distinguish a tiny amount of nutmeg. That’s awesome 👏🏼 His taste 👅 buds are incredible. I give him a 90 lol just because the ravioli wasn’t green. 😊
He's incredibly talented! But nutmeg is pretty easy to spot in a savory dish. Even a little feels out of place, at least to American taste buds. We're used to nutmeg in sweet preparations, whereas Greek & Italian food use it in savory food all the time. I find nutmeg or cinnamon jarring in savory dishes, even the smallest pinch.
0:04 before I clicked on the video I thought if Chris is able to make this dish green without seeing it he automatically wins but I was too optimistic lol
They simply aren't getting the views anymore to justify it. These things still take money. To some it may look like you can shoot this for 20 bucks. That's not the case. The test kitchen probably made this dish 30 or 40 times before he ever got a crack at it. They are doing fewer videos b/c unlike a couple years ago they aren't getting sponsorships amd have far fewer viewers.
@Chris the only thing I was screaming for you to do is get a life line/hint on the color of the pasta. Once you got past that, you would have gotten a solid B+ with your keen adjustments.
That’s fair, but also who would ever think to ask ‘okay so this pasta, is it the color of pasta the way pasta (almost) always is, or does it happen to look like a slytherin wanted to make pasta with house pride?’ 😂
True, but it’s also legit the only thing you can see really. In other dishes there are multiple plated aspects and the look of this one was ‘green squares with cheese’. He has the squares and the cheese, so 2/3 of the look!
I'm amazed how close he can get it without seeing it, I could never. It would be really interesting to see how close he can get it by seeing it as well though, I feel like this was a tough one. Maybe a more complicated dish where he is allowed to see it also? Only allowed to taste it but clothes pin his nose shut haha
They spoiled the fact that he didn’t figure out they were green in the first second of the video. What the f BA! That could have been very suspenseful!
Maybe they should give judges at least a little wiggle room with the announcement at the start. It gets somehow weird, all of them repeating the same text word by word…
Okay but like he SAID everything correctly at some point. Honestly really impressed
Yea dude. He even said it tasted like green. This dude is an absolute beast.
He's truly a super taster/smeller! He's a total beast
That’s what I like about Chris… as he navigates ingredients, I learn so much and he often nails the taste profile
Absolutely agree
It's funny how in the newer episodes where he goes wrong is often adding too many ingredients that arent there, he's been burned too many times by things that hardly contribute to the flavor 😆
"They were f-ing green?!?!"
1:36 : "It tastes green."
😂 close but no cigar
I think it'd be fun to tell him what his actual average score is on his first attempt. It'll either make him panic or double down on poor decisions 😅
That's actually a great idea!
And now they do this. Lol pretty cool
He needs to recreate one of his own dishes without knowing.
I think he would recognize his own dishes immediately. He is Chris Marocco, not a random amateur. A little bit of failure and doubt is, what makes this format so exciting.
Ik everyone says that on every video but tbh chris would get it immediately:P wouldn't be very challenging imo
maybe another BA chef's dish that he hasn't tasted before could be good
May be it would be a "gimme" but I think it would really be fun to see what he goes through. Frankly, if he guesses his own dish right off the bat he probably deserves an easy one.
If he can recognize other chef dishes, I'm sure recognizing his own would be a slap in the face.
Like, 'why are you giving me my own dish'
I miss Chris going to the grocery store, can we bring that back
Me too!
That seems unlikely to come back until the pandemic is over.
@@MatthewWaltonWalton They're too high on the social ladder to deign to enter a grocery store at this point. It is sad.
Going to the grocery store and completely dismissing the correct type of cheese
I seriously doubt Chris is going to risk himself and his family getting covid just because you want to watch him go to the grocery store.
The nutmeg really impressed me. But it's so fascinating that Chris guesses the most exotic dishes right and then something like ravioli is so tough. The simplest things are often the hardest.
nutmeg has a distinct smell/taste that's hard to miss, still it is impressive how he noted it among many other ingredients!
@@eugeniahimangee8653 absolutely. When Nutmeg comes to the party, you don't often miss it. Plus, whenever Italians or Greeks use cream in a dish, they'll traditionally add a pinch of nutmeg.

They did Chris DIRTY with the green pasta sheets
they weren't "green" they were spinach, which has a flavor and a texture that he failed to pick up.
Revenge of the olive oil bottle did not disappoint.
I trust Morocco’s judgment more than mine he’s a freaking genius
Pshhh I bet you trust a doctor to teach medicine and a lawyer to practice law
Poor Chris is gonna fly into a rage whenever he sees those squeeze bottles now. 😂
"They were green, just green!" Chris Morocco
I mean how are you supposed to taste the color?
@@MrRossman2 It's not some tasteless food coloring, it's spinach in the dough. The flavor is obviously subtle but not absent.
@@davidsommen1324 but it would be extremely subtle. Spinach is known for being able to dye food without affecting flavor because it's so naturally pigmented. The amount required to make it green actually might not have tasted like spinach at all, or just barely. They couldn't use much because it would affect the integrity of the dough otherwise.
Narration for the blind
Are the staff sabotaging the olive oil bottles or is Chris a beast who doesn’t know his own strength?
Some badly designed bottle's caps do loosen up when resting and does further release when being squeezed (especially with oil in the brim)
one time at a hibachi restaurant this happened to me with yumyum sauce in front of everyone it was so embarrassing 😭😭 and then he made me a new plate so i felt even worse
This is a common issue with oil in those bottles. I’ve been sabotaged by them too many times. The plastic stretches over time and the seal is broken with the oil
Haha 😂
He’s really good, and, he said “I can’t see the colour” so he knew it was possibly different, I’d never have even thought of that.
The bottle of olive oil bursting open had me in tears 🤣🤣🤣
How does "he should do his own dish" become a top comment on EVERY video. It's a bad idea and it's every time! He's way too good for that. Give the man some credit.

So we've had red leicester and green spinach, we need either yellow bell pepper or blue berries as a trick ingredient to round out a color triad.
Was there yellow pepper in the reverse engineering Emeril Lagasse’s crab cakes.
Poor Chris. Making them green is legit trolling. 😂
If any of the editors hesitated about "spoiling" Chris' reaction to them being green at the beginning of the video I can say with confidence that you made the right decision. The buildup was even better knowing what was coming.
On the other hand, watching the episode knowing he wouldn't figure that out was kinda boring
I can’t believe the olive oil bottle did Chris dirty again 😂😂😂 I was dying
I don't know why, but there is something that just gives me a real sense of joy when Chris suffers. Schadenfreude Supreme. But I was really quite impressed that he came up with the nutmeg, and I have to give him props for that.
"It tastes *green"* 💀💀💀
That description of garlic was EVERYTHING!! 😆
The bottle cap strikes again hahaha love how these little things have built this whole character (not that Chris needs it :)
I realize that these videos are great for figuring out substitutions in recipes. I just love Chris Morocco.
The whisking would make me SO nervous 😭 like wtf am I supposed to be beating to death??
Chris's super tasting abilities: 'Spinach tastes green'
Guy knew half those cheeses weren't in the ravioli, he just wanted them for himself
Whoever edited this.... c'mon. I saw the thumbnail and that was the ONLY thing I wanted to see if he got or not. And clearly he didn't, and I learned this at 0:02. Come on! Keep me in suspense for at least a few minutes.
true
I accept that it speaks to my mental health but my mood dropped quite a bit when the first part of the video ruined it.
@@BraxtonHoward It's editing 101; if you give up your climax at the very beginning, what's the point of watching the rest of it?
@@jansenart0 There's a thing called the spoiler paradox which proved people enjoy something just as much when they've had a spoiler.
@@judeiemccormick Some folk do like that. Unfortunately, most people do not feel that way, hence the spoiler clamp-down on Endgame.
That garlic came to the party like Brad then? 😂
“Whisking for England” will now forever live rent-free in my mind 😂😂😂
Why would you spoil the ending reveal in the first 5 seconds
THANK YOU. Without the spoiler we wonder with anticipation whether he's going to figure it out. With the spoiler I don't care to finish it.
You were watching just to see if he got that they were green? It spoiled so little
Exactly!! I absolutely hate when shows do this all the time, you have to skip first few minutes sometimes to be safe. Why even do this monstrous thing?? Do people actually like it?
@@kristis yes
Never trust those dang refillable squirt bottles. Although it does add a bit of comic relief for the audience 😂
Chris have you seen me show up to parties? Because the garlic description was on point.
I wonder how Chris feels about Dr Suess's Green Eggs and Ham. lol
imagine being this talented
Lmfao... go to any real chefs kitchen
@@Bheretus ok? they didnt say he's the only talented person on the earth
I love his attention to detail, and his attempts look as amazing as the finished dish.
Chris isn't the chef we deserve, but he is the chef we need!
I'd love a Chris reacts to Reverse Engineering episodes
honestly, can we have a moment of respect for thus man? I don't think I'd be able to recreate a PBnJ sandwich without my eyesight..
I feel like he nailed it! He’s so talented and can distinguish a tiny amount of nutmeg. That’s awesome 👏🏼 His taste 👅 buds are incredible. I give him a 90 lol just because the ravioli wasn’t green. 😊

I want someone to make something entirely our of pre packaged igredients and only using a microwave.
if this were instagram I'd expect david chang to sail in with a cookanyday plug
Try Tasty or one of those types of channels...
Check out Chef out of Water, I think it's a Tasty produces them.
tastes green “has to be green” 🤧🤧🤧
It's like a typewriter.. "Bing 🎶"
🤣
garlic shows up no shirt, board shorts, a 24-pack of Coors Light like lets f*****g go
0:04 before I clicked on the video I thought if Chris is able to make this dish green without seeing it he automatically wins but I was too optimistic lol
It would have been great to keep wondering until the end. Instead of ruining the suspense in the intro.
@@BraxtonHoward right? That was kinda dumb 😩
@@BraxtonHoward yeah the dumb attention grabber intros are terrible spoilers
This is one of the best food shows on youtube. Why put out just one a month? I'd be putting one out every one or two weeks. Anyway, great show.
They simply aren't getting the views anymore to justify it. These things still take money. To some it may look like you can shoot this for 20 bucks. That's not the case. The test kitchen probably made this dish 30 or 40 times before he ever got a crack at it.

Because they had a full panel of amazing shows but treated the chefs like s*** and they all quit
Please stop spoiling things in the intro. PLEASE.
"Whisking for England" is now my new favorite saying
I am obsessed with Chris hearing the whisking
@Chris the only thing I was screaming for you to do is get a life line/hint on the color of the pasta. Once you got past that, you would have gotten a solid B+ with your keen adjustments.
That’s fair, but also who would ever think to ask ‘okay so this pasta, is it the color of pasta the way pasta (almost) always is, or does it happen to look like a slytherin wanted to make pasta with house pride?’ 😂
@@cato3149 🤣🤣🤣
-35% for color being wrong feels pretty harsh.
Well its a made up score and doesn't actually count for anything.
Yeah newbie lady thought she is worthy of judging the master.
True, but it’s also legit the only thing you can see really. In other dishes there are multiple plated aspects and the look of this one was ‘green squares with cheese’. He has the squares and the cheese, so 2/3 of the look!
"Why not? I might as well have fun with it." Reminds me of Bob Ross
Thanks for the spoiler at THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE
Whisking for England? Yes Chris, that's what we do here!!!!
April fools idea: plate a grocery store prepared meal or frozen meal
Love how they spoil the ending at the start :)
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 how is it Clickbait? You’ve already clicked on it and are watching and the ending gets spoiled within the first 10 seconds.
13:46 that garlic line was good
Well done, Chris! Picking up on the nutmeg was amazing!
Start a go fund me to get Morocco a higher quality squeeze bottle?
Revealing the result right in the beginning, just... whyyy?!?!?!?!?
I'm amazed how close he can get it without seeing it, I could never. It would be really interesting to see how close he can get it by seeing it as well though, I feel like this was a tough one. Maybe a more complicated dish where he is allowed to see it also? Only allowed to taste it but clothes pin his nose shut haha
Yes! One of the best segments on bon appetit!!! Been waiting for a new one 😃
Why'd they reveal that he doesn't nail the color at the beginning of the video? That's like the main thing I wanted to see if he could do
Okay, you gotta tell us the brand of the squeeze bottles so we know which ones not to buy.
Lol, right?
Just don't store oils in squeeze bottles...
They spoiled the fact that he didn’t figure out they were green in the first second of the video. What the f BA! That could have been very suspenseful!
Detects nutmeg. Misses salt and pepper
These are so fun to watch and make me hungry. And make me want to try the recipes. This one especially
The editing in this video… WOAH.
Some one get him a new olive oil bottle
How does he get it right at some point every episode!? HES A GENIUS
Dude is good. Impressive
Olive oil bottle at it again
Laughing about this in a few years? Why wait?! 😄
The blanching of the swiss chard gets me every time
Whisking for England 😂 15:05
Maybe they should give judges at least a little wiggle room with the announcement at the start. It gets somehow weird, all of them repeating the same text word by word…
Yeah, I have to agree there.
These are pretty good, but I did honestly prefer the old format.
Bring back the supermarket visits already! Loved seeing it.
I just love this series. So much fun! 😂
Chris will make your meal better and simpler
"Spinach tastes green" - Chris Morocco, 2021
I understand the challenge is all about not being able to see the dish, but recreating something coloured is just impossible
Impastable
I don't even know what Swiss Chard is and he's nailing it blindfolded, just by taste?
He's been thrown so many curveballs that the simplicity really messed with him haha.😀
Yay! Chris… my favorite ♥️
Green tamale’s 🫔 or green enchilada would be cool to see
They need to throw that olive oil bottle away
ravioli ravioli give chris the formuoli
Recipe idea for Chris: shenjiang bao! Involves making a bao dough and getting the technique right to pan fry the bao.
The crispyness of the bottom would easily give up the technique being used IMO
You're so awesome, I loved the journey.
Meanwhile I’m over here heating frozen corn dogs in a greasy cast iron pan
Favorite series, so so fun
When he said nutmeg I screamed. The talent!
I thought the judge was really generous on the ingredients score.
great job chris!!!
It taste green. Wait chris, thats illegal.
He is such a wizard
Is there really a difference between folded ravioli and ravioli with a separate top and bottom sheet?
The last second nutmeg guess was wild. (The fact I just wrote that sentence is also wild)
