4 Levels of Pork Chops: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Onika, home cook Lorenzo, and professional chef Frank Proto from The Institute Of Culinary Education - to prepare their favorite pork chop recipe. Once each level of chef had served up their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way - both good and bad. Which pork chop would you opt for?

Lorenzo + Frank = My undivided attention.
Oh, you got a heart.
Holy u got a heart
Frank and Gabby are the winning pair!
I cannot agree more 😎
Real Facts! My family loves to see Beth too!
Frank's first step in this dish is cultivating a years-long friendship with Lorenzo.
It wasn't important to the recipe, he just wanted to do it.
@@callistoarmy5576 no
@@callistoarmy5576 i gave it a shot; i would pick a different career if i were you
Is his second step the magical ability to grab hot cast iron @8:10
@@HansMaximum that's just chef hands.
Emily is not here because she about to get her level 3 chef certification after all these years
Nah. She'd immediately put ketchup on the pork chop.
@@yamomwasthebomb7159 I mean, I do that, but I also have a bunch of modified ketchups (think currywurst sauce)
She was out of ketchup and went crazy
No it's because she would deep fry the pork chop in ketchup
I heard she failed it because she wrote “ketchup” as the answer to all the questions. She even wrote it in ketchup.
Lorenzo gives me:"Let's go get your friends for ice-cream son" Dad kind of vibes
I now right
Lorenzo says he's going to marinate his pork chops and watch TV in the refrigerator and then laughs when he realized how he said what he said. Lorenzo, chilling inside his fridge with his chops, watching TV.
he's not controlling enough to be a dad, he's more of a fun uncle.
@@belalabusultan5911 uh not every dad is controlling, sorry you've clearly been scarred.
@@yamiyume
in my city, the norm is having a controlling dad.
but yes, I do take therapy and anti-depressants.
Lorenzo: "Time to put in some banana ketchup!"
Emily: *sweats*
Tomatoeless ketchup...
@@theenviousfox7589 banana ketchup is awesome dont diss my boi like that
Filipinos LOVE banana ketchup lol
I've never heard of banana ketchup until now.
Then again I'm American so
@@gonnacry442 yeah lol
“It didn’t take me 20 years” Frank wants to talk😂
Ohh timestamp please?
@@lilyfhonazhel2675 12:50
@@g0repop Ohhh thanks very much
Looking for this comment 😂
Throwing shade for no reason
Frank : We start by raising our own pig
Frank is life goals.
Frank: First we invent cooking
Frank: first we discover fire.
Frank: Actually we create the universe
First we give birth to ourself
Frank: "This pig is lovingly cared for..."
Me: BY YOU, of course. 🤣🤣
Frank definitely has a pig spawner egg
When Onika said "cook your meat until it's done please. None of that pink stuff".
Every Jamaican ever said "Oh hell yeah girl now we talking"
Yess!
Yaassssss
Nigerians too!! No pink uncooked meat
@@nigerianpenguin9560 Pink steak and pork is good though. Enjoy your tire rubber steaks.
Chefs claim pink is better but I just have a hard time believing my meat still breathing is good for me 💀
I want a Frank episode in which He would react to Frank related comments.Like- still growing,brewing,farming,making,raising.
Period.
the FAQ series kinda have some of these. they mixed in some of these comments with real questions.
he mentions these all the time on his own channel
Frank : First we create RUclips
Onika's pork chops remind me so much of when I was a kid and my mom would make fried pork chops 😭❤️
Oh really? I’m sorry for that
Yea garbage pork chops. Looks horrid
@@wunglu176 it’s a staple in our culture, very traditional way of preparing them
All three of these chefs have so much personality. And dang I want to eat all three of these chops! I had to laugh when this video popped up because I’m making pork chops tonight too.
Me too!
ikr they all look delicious
We’re all making pork chops tonight, that’s why we r here
I was delighted to see Lorenzo as the level 2 chef. He’s definitely one of my all-time favorites!
Yes!
Lorenzo is just a level 3 chef who didn’t go to culinary school.
Agreed 😀
He’s earned a promotion at this point
Pretty much!
So then hes not a chef, hes a highly experienced cook, just coz someone is good at cutting people open and maybe healing that doesnt make them a doctor
@@Saintphoenix86 Cooking is not a science, it's an art form. There are completely different rules.
Onika: "You want to get a nice pork chop..."
Lorenzo: "It has to be at least an inch thick with the bone in..."
Frank: "So you're going to want to go to your local pig farmer and ask him how much organic water was used to raise the feed that was given to the hogs on Tuesday last..."
Lorenzo indirectly promoting banana ketchup. Plus he stated himself that he is a Filipino. Filipinos will come out here for sure!
You mean like you? Like how you’re out here talking about Filipino stuff?
i am filipino and im happy he mentioned a country i lived 😅
As usual lol 🤣
@@zeyzey1983 Just be happy that he mentioned Banana Ketchup
I like Onika’s self confidence! She is cool. Lorenzo and Frank great meals as usual.
It takes a lot of woman to fry a pork chop?
Chef Frank has created his own RUclips channel called Protocooks.
I’ve posted that so many times and people just ignore it 😂 like I don’t need likes but acknowledge it for frank at least damn
We know, it's just more fun to talk about the most interesting Frank of the Multiverse on this channel. But yes, everyone should check his channel.
Thank you for letting me know! Most of the time I do not read many comments but am glad that I did this time! :)
@@v.crowley well i didn't know that he has a channel and so is a few more thousand epicurious viewers so
@@v.crowley because the newcomers need to worship the R2-D2 spoon too. They must be initiated to the saltmaster
I love that they brought back Onika 😭💓
Right- I love her... she's stunning , funny and she's an awesome L1
@@mon6745 very! 😭
I love Onika
Any chance you guys could do some behind-the-scenes or blooper videos? I was always curious as to how the process goes when it comes to making these 3 level cooking/amateur vs professional videos 😅
Lvl 1 is actually good. Lorenzo's is like a pork chop you could serve for sunday gathering. Frank's pork chop is just simple technique, just need some patience to make.
Frank explanation is very intriguing as usual.
And high quality meat.
Frank uses high quality ingredients, and makes dishes and side dishes from all around the world, his vast knowledge and his amazing mix of these dishes is what makes him a legend.....
like .... he made an American dish (Pork Cjops) with Argentian sauce .... and once before he made American steaks with north African Salad/sauce, and the fact these things go along too well is mind blowing.
@Jksm Mkv
other countries would do them in other ways and give them different names.
I've never felt so Filipino when Lorenzo whipped out the lemon lime soda
Shout out to all Filipino foodies out there!
My man Lorenzo representing Filipino culture like a boss. Those pork chops look AWE-SOME.
I hope he gets his own youtube channel someday. I'd subscribe in a heartbeat.
lorenzo's dish will taste even better after getting out of the pool and eating it with raisin fingers
when you're cold after hopping out of the pool but the food is hot 🔥
Facts, childhood right there
Paired with rice and coke
All three chops look soooo good; I would've loved to try them all.
A regular reminder that Lorenzo has a cookbook titled "Let’s Do This, Folks!" and you should buy it.
oooo thank you i’m gonna get it!
"Lorenzo made a wet marinade that included 7UP"
proceeds to show Lorenzo pouring in a can of SPRITE
Did they say 7up? I just heard "lemon lime soda".
But also, 5:41 "I have sesame seeds" holding a bowl of sesame oil 😆
@@aimeevang3145 yeah rose said it at 15:33
@@aimeevang3145 he said sesame seed oil
@@aimeevang3145 you didn't listen good did you? ^^
Onika brought us back….Way back to that good ol’ home cooked food. Keep it cooking Onika! You have my vote all the way
Lorenzo has level 3 personality
And it's that kind of level 4 uncle.
No he’s annoying
You have a level 0 personality.
@@Jaime13R
I have been following this channel for 2 years, and this is the first time I see someone disliking Lorenzo.
You like inter milan
I love Lorenzo! I've always loved Lorenzo; his enthusiasm for cooking just shines through every time! Frank is more of an acquired taste - I love and appreciate him so much, although that wasn't the case at my first viewings with him. His knowledge yet down-to-earth approach brings cuisine elevation art to the masses. He's not just a food snob elitist as I first feared. I haven't yet seen much of Onika and I look forward to seeing more with her - her style of cooking and her background is just so different from my Italian-American upbringing!
Frank looks like he gives bombs hugs and smells like grandma’s house and thanksgiving.
he feels more like a friend or a butler to me.
Why would he hug a bomb?
Lorenzo’s laugh would be evil if it wasn’t so cute 😂
HUAhaHaHAhahahahaHeeeheHeHEhehehehue
I love his laugh. Makes me laugh every time.
Lorenzo needs a cooking show or something, he seems like he really knows how to explain everything he's doing in an accessible way
Although it’s not a cooking show but he has a cook book, it’s called “let’s do this,folks!”
He talks like he is talking to children lol
Lorenzo needs his own show on Food Network.
According to his Instagram page, he’s actually going to be on the next season of TopChef! :D
he can have his own show ..... about anything, his personality is the main thing, not the cooking skills.
@@belalabusultan5911 He is not genuine, his personalaty is way over the top. Imagine being stuck in a lift with that guy ...
when Lorenzo said that " filipino porkchop " . Im waiting for them to do the PORK BELLY BBQ...
But that Bananaa Ketchup is a very filipino condiment/sauce. He could have added calamansi to it too.
Any pork is good pork
Rose said: “If Onika’s mom uses it, it’s ok with me.” Yassss for knowing the true flavor and seasonings.
Please more of Onika!!! She's naturally hilarious and I cant get over how glowy skin is. ❤❤❤
if someone hasnt said it yet i'll say it "if every porkchop was perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs"
Steven Universe is a gem (pun intended) we’ll never get anything else like it.
My Diamond ◇
So that's how your step dad came into your life
When there some family gatherings or when when plan to swim, Lorenzo's dish is always there. Not just pork chop, we cook any parts of the pork and chicken, meat, intestine, liver, etc. We use banana ketchup, soy sauce, calamansi and other condiments. You really need to try the recipe, its so good.
Frank and Lorenzo are at it again but this time with Onika. I love the duo soooooooooooo much.
can someone tell me how the "amateur" cooks still cook better than me?😭
because they re amateurs, not Noobs lol
I think I am a level 1.5 myself.
Level 1 chef is still chef, just not consistently good chef. Cook more, preferably everyday, watch a lot of cooking videos and you'll get better at it, I did.
I think i am level 1 as well. Watching cooking vids and following instructions do the job.
Level 1 Chef* remember the word chef 👨🍳 chef is different from a cook
I would really like to see a level 1-3 version of BBQ. Just imagine Frank’s perfect BBQ dish…I’m already drooling.
Frank himself would likely demure to being only a level 2 Pitmaster.
“It didn’t take me 20 years.”
SHE JUST ROASTED FRANK!!!
I wish they would also give the level 1 and level 2 recipes in the description, not just the level 3. I never had philipino food and I really wanted to try Lorenzo’s pork chops.
Onika made me happy she sings when she’s cooking that’s real cooking 😄
My favorite Chef Frank from @protocooks is back on Epicurious!! Love these episodes!!
Lorenzo and Frank are the dynamic Duo of this channel
1:40 - 1:44 Hey, Onika, if you hold your hand a good 8" up, your seasoning will fall evenly over the item being seasoned, instead of the seasoning being concentrated in one tiny strip. Hope this helps! 💕
This is the first episode that I would have had to flip a coin 3 times to figure out which one I would want. All 3 great! Nice!
All 3 look great. I'd eat at Onika's house any day. She has that family-taught vibe for some good ol' soul food.
Onika's pork chops looks amazing so. LvL 2 Here she comes!
You can never fail with a fried pork chop but I got to try Frank and Lorenzo's pork chops.
"This is basically my entire heritage in a single dish" says Lorenzo!! Filipinos represent! Who else can relate?❤️🤤
Pinoy
What a great episode.. each chef made me smile so many times. Love Onika's confidence, the fun uncle everyone in the family loves that is Lorenzo, and the how proud Frank is of his cooking and how happy it makes him.
Frank: I’ve fused the hydrogen and oxygen myself to make the water for the brine
Watching a Filipino who loves and cook pork makes me happy as a Filipino who is eating pork while watching this video.
I had to take a corporate training for a seasonal job at Kohl's and Lorenzo was an actor in the video.
Guys Frank uploaded a carrot cake making video on his channel Protocooks a few hours ago. Check it out.
Damn this level one chef is fire. Her recipe looks SO good
Ikr? She’s way too good to be level 1. She’s definitely level 2.
@@mechadoggy sometimes the level 1 chef just know a recipe in and out so it looks like that ! Lorenzo recipe definitely was more advanced so I don't think that she's too good to be level one
Just no
@@aigriculteur Definitely. Her recipe was level one simple, but with level two execution.
I'm so glad Frank has his own channel now (@protocooks)!!
Emily has her own channel @NoExpert and Lorentz has his own book out.
Frank has his own RUclips channel @protocooks
Oniqua, hope that’s spelled right, damn I like her! “To make a good fried pork chop, you got to go to somebody’s house with a big Mama!”
Right!!! Its my first time seeing her but damn I love her energy
onika*
also how is this the first you’ve seen of her, she was here 2 weeks ago
I love her vibe and energy
Love a fried pork chop but how in the world is brown gravy just oil, flour and brown liquid? Where is the broth? That had to have been nasty
@@aclonymous idk how he/she spelled her name wrong. It's literally written on the video.
I think it would be fun to give all 3 levels the same ingredients and see what would they come up with.
I loved Level 1 & 2. Onika’s is for me when I’m reminiscing about my childhood and my Mother frying pork chops and the level 2 guy is for my adult palate when I’m feeling bourgeois!!!
I love you
Lorenzo should be a level 3 purely because of his amazing personality
he's the perfect host... however, he does not work in a restaurent.
@@belalabusultan5911 you're are. Right about both
Epicurious team, when can we see Rose finally gets to eat the food with all 3 level chefs?
Lol never thought you knew; scientist don't do what they want to do. Judgement keeps them eating THEIR favorite thing. To feed Them you must be Lorenzo hahahahahaha but even I wouldn't know.
frank and lorenzo in the same episode, a treat as always
I'm in love with all 3 chefs' cooking. 😍❤ Thank you chefs, for sharing your meals!! 🤗
Lorenzo and Frank are my fav!!!!
This was one of the few videos where I wanted to make the food made by all three chefs. That fried pork chop looked incredible!
Love Lorenzo... Finds delight and wonder in everything he cooks!
Rose was fantastic in this video, learned a lot!
I think it’s safe to say when Lorenzo and Frank are on we are glued to the screen
I love Onika and a crunchy pork chop and Frank is the best
Lorenzo is my favorite! Looks like he was sipping the wine in this video! 😄
"...that included 7UP." we can clearly see that Lorenzo used Sprite
YESS THE TWO KINGS OF EPICURIOUS ARE BACK! WELCOME BACK LORENZO AND FRANK!!!
I love anika so much ! Can’t wait to see more of her
Lorenzo just needs his own cooking show he’s very entertaining at its best!!!
For my Hispanic/Latino Chuletas (Pork Chops) I use: Vinegar, I let them marinate them in vinegar. Adobo Goya a mix of spices and Latino seasonings. Sazón, basically Adobo. Sofrito and Garlic! Let that sit for a couple hours or 1 day and there you have it!! Serve with the classic Puerto Rican side, white rice and beans and TOSTONESSS
Omg I love her! “What y’all talking bout?!” Had me dying. She reminds me of my mama in the kitchen.
Lorenzo and Frank need to have their own travel/cooking show.
My 3 favourite Epicurious chefs in one video, can't wait to watch this!
The trio we all needed
This was an interesting combo of talents. Enjoyed this video. I like the interaction that Rose can have with the cooks/chef.
my 3 favorites. this is gonna be a great vid.
I am so happy that you guys are able to cook and record on the Epicurious Set! Love yall and the best of luck!
Really love when Frank is there. Always look like everything is easy and soooooo delicious !
My favorite professional cook 😍👍🏻
Frank: we start by evolving bacterium into all known matter and then discover fire, with that we forge the pan from the flames
Everytime I see that Lorenzo is the level 2 chef, I always assume it would be Frank that will represent level 3 😂
These are my three favorite cooks. Onika slamming her hand on the counter when flipping the chops. Lorenzo. And frank just whipping up the best looking porkchop I’ve ever seen…chimichurri 🤤🤤🤤
Missed seeing Chef Frank. 👍👍
Looks like Lorenzo upped his skills since competing on "Top Chef"
I don't always listen to Rose. But when I do, I learn the science behind the "soap-tasting-cilantro". Thanks, Rose!
A video with Lorenzo AND Frank? Epicurious spoiling us today.
This is my favorite lunch-breaktime show sitcom
WOW! 3 Winners! Great styles & ingredients! Gonna get some chops real soon!
We all good cooks but be thinking we level 3 until we see Frank. And I appreciate being introduced to new techniques that elevate the dish. It’s pretty easy and all it takes is planning ahead and good organization.
Onika knows what's up. You can never go wrong with a good ole fried pork chop! Hot sauce and bread and its on!! Great job!
I LOVE how proud Lorenzo is of his dish. He did a kickass job!
Lorenzo is the most level 3 looking level 2 chef. Frank is the most level 4 looking level 3 chef.
