$228 vs $18 Hot Dog: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

[@ДианаЗинченко-н1ъ]

love how King was unsure about hasbrowns sticking together, but still didn't took some extra things for the recepie. truly our King!

[@PR_311]

I honestly think, something like flower is totally okay. I mean if you look at 10 different people 9 of them proably have flower at home that's togehter with salt/pepper one of the few ingredients I don't mind that, but yeah class act from King to sticking the original given things

[@pheonixare803]

@@PR_311 do u mean flour?

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

@@PR_311 Technically, he DID use "something like flour", because that's what hot dog buns are made from. Besides, the Buns in a Blender joke was epic video. I'm still coughing from laughing so hard.

[@PR_311]

@Pheonixare 803 yeah my bad didn't paid too much attention @@Eric1SanDiego1 Yeah but he could also use them as a side dish or make something different with them if he used "normal" flour for binding. My point is just that I rather have them use things that most likely 99% have at home anyway (for me that's be flour, eggs, salt, pepper, after that most stuff is already a discussion and proably based on origin) than if they use some chefy ingredient that wasn't in the "cheaper menu" and most people proably have to buy ;)

I wonder if Epicurious would consider doing some shows where they simply provide a range of ingredients for the chefs and say "Create what you like!" - that might be really fun to watch, and quite educational too.

[@Idea1sm]

All pro chefs too would be cool to see all their different styles

[@handle6324]

Check out Chopped fam.

[@buffster948]

@@FFXTidus-z5j I was sort of talking more about recipe design - so, each chef gets the same basic ingredients and they have to create a dish based on them. I think the pros would be able to come up with an idea easily but the level 1 chefs might struggle. Could still be fun and entertaining though.

[@rutconde7507]

I just love how calm King talks. He even cooks calm and slowly. You can tell he's very comfortable on camera and is very charismatic and chill

The pro chef has never used an ingredient that isn't commonplace in the kitchen so this doesn't really matter. What matters is that this dude didn't actually make a hotdog.

This had to be my favorite so far because chef king only used the ingredients from John, and he showed how to be creative with $18 of ingredients. I think thats what this series needs more of is chefs showing you skill and adaptability. Like I'm sure that heritage pork shoulder tasted nice, but man can I taste the skill in the other one.

I’m not even from Chicago & just started watching and was all 🤨 why is there ketchup then? ANYONE familiar with Chicago style dogs knows ketchup is NOT invited. Edit: saw another comment saying the ketchup better have been meant for the tots.

When King said "bussing",I felt that🤚😔😫🤌🔥

[@elaineharyono3675]

Going off from some comments I saw, I think the pros should be allowed some staple ingredients (eggs, flour, seasoning, etc) as a resort. Given that they’re typical ingredients that most people would have in their pantry or could buy from the grocery store, it shouldn’t take away from the essence of the challenge

[@maromania7]

They can, in fact they usually do. Common herbs and spices, basic things like oil and flour, etc. I guess King just likes to challenge himself

[@Mister_Clean]

Frank from the older episodes grabs common ingredients like vinegar, flour, eggs, etc I don't think it's against the rules. In fact, it's probably encouraged.

[@SIZLL]

That basically defeats the purpose of the video. the Chefs should be able to show they can make anything taste/look good with the limited amount of ingredients they are given.
