    I'm so glad Epicurious started letting the chefs get together and taste the dishes each other made. It's a lot more satisfying as a viewer, this way.
    EDIT: Plus it's really nice to see the chefs actually interacting with each other. It gives you more of a picture of their personalities and how they feel about each other, not just food.

    When I was first getting into Roman pastas - carbonara, gricia, amatriciana - I figured that guanciale would probably be a little better than pancetta or bacon. Maybe it would be worth the extra cost and the trouble of finding it, maybe not.
    I was wrong. Guanciale is WAY better than bacon or even pancetta. Like, three or four times as good. If you can get your hands on it, do it. There's really no substitute for guanciale.

    I might be partial here because I love carbonara, but this is the first time I like the look of the expensive version more.

    • @biseinerheult78
      @biseinerheult78 2 года назад +4

      Depending on where you live, that wouldn’t even be that expensive. The really expensive things in there were the old Parmesan and the wine. If you live in Europe you can get guincale in most major cities or just order it online from an Italian specialty online shop (which you should be able to find in most countries). Same goes for the pecorino cheese. I can see The Guiancale being harder to get and more expensive in the states, but you could easily substitute pancetta, which you also don’t get everywhere but should be a bit easier to find.
      And if you live in Italy, the “expensive” version probably costs you ten euros to make.

      @@biseinerheult78 that's not the point though. You can easily substitute the guanciale with pancetta and you would hardly tell the difference.
      The point is that one dish was a carbonara and the other one was a frittata di pasta.

Your videos continue to inspire and push Me to be better at the craft I LOVE to do.. thank you for all you do.

    I actually liked this edit better than the ones usually with Rose. Don't get me wrong, she is great and important, but I think in this series I find it more exciting seeing the Chef explaining the things while the amateur cooks and does his reactions to whatever it's happening. Perhaps the cookbook handed by the chef could contain hints and quizzes, like the chitarra part could have used a guitar image or similar. It would also be interesting if Rose, or any food scientist, could have their own single video where they explain each "kitchen myth" using actual since. Perhaps helped by a professional chef on doing the experiments.
    Oh and I'm Italian, and I've had pasta frittata since I was a child, so nothing to amend to Chef Proto! :D
