      @@caroldemort3269 I actually expect that his labour charge would be the most expensive. As an executive chef he probably charges quite a good hourly rate, and then think of how much time (I'm estimate at least 4 hours) you'd require to buy all those ingredients and make that one dish! In London even the trainee chefs get £15 per hour so the labour cost alone would be £60!!! Quails eggs in London are expensive too and if I went to Mexico on holiday I would not be eating quails eggs or eggs benedict but the regional specialities that Mexicans make and love! Happy Anniversary - I expect your husband will be hoping you cook this for him rather than him having to pay the bill in Saul's restaurant? ;)

    I feel like there was a shift in these episodes when it comes to how the channel represents the level 1 chefs. Before, they were shown to be either lazy or just didn't know how to cook. But now, they're shown to be resourceful and catering to the accessibility of the average person. I really appreciate this subtle change. It's always a fun time when we see someone who doesn't quite know what they're doing, but it's more beneficial to see these dishes being made affordable and still tasty. Let me know if any of you have noticed this change! : )

      I can make Hollandaise in my sleep. But only after making it a thousand times along with mayo (similar emulsion but not cooked). But for the home cook, it is annoyingly finicky. A good whisk is a must with enough wire loops. OXO is good but I use a Best Products french whisk.
      And poached eggs are like soo many egg recipes where perfect is tough. Timing, water temp, egg temp, are all variables. Like omelettes, I make decent poached eggs but only 1 in 10 are really perfect (jammy yolk with a perfect soft white). I don't add vinegar because it can make the whites tough.

    16:53 Emily may have used a blender, but Emily also added Dijon mustard which has emulgent polysaccharides released from the mucilage via grinding the mustard seeds. That being said, I think a key part of why her sauce will eventually break is that she’s not emulsifying but rather “colloiding” the liquids together. The speed of the blades in the blender will create cavitation bubbles that will make the sauce appear to be fully emulsified, but since the two liquids weren’t introduced to each other over time and heat, it will eventually fall out of colloidal suspension.
