$500 vs $16 Steak Dinner: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Expert chef Frank and home cook Lorenzo are swapping their recipes and ingredients, just for your viewing pleasure. We gave Lorenzo $500 worth of ingredients and Frank's notebook to make the best steak dinner he could (with a quick assist from food scientist Rose!) On the other side, Frank received $16 worth of goods and tried to improvise his way up to gourmet. Who achieved the most impressive results under these mixed up circumstances?

the way Lorenzo is sort of panicking and goofing around hides how skillful he is really. he nailed the doneness of such a thick steak and the consistency of a sauce he's never even heard of. well done.

[@scarychewinggum]

Cooking is all about learning techniques as opposed to recipes. The home cook had never encountered that technique with the potatoes before, but they're both competent cooks!

@@scarychewinggum I know lol.. I was making a joke. I completely know AND I respect it. A real chef knows there is NO end to learning different techniques and stuff

[@GarethXL]

@@scarychewinggum technically the recipe that Frank has written is a well written full recipe on how to cook the dish, its just that Lorenzo and most people that never work in a professional kitchen before doesn't know how to read it it goes from cooking order from the parts that takes the longest to cook to the shortest (potato > sauce > steak > veg), and each step of the cooking process from what ingredient to use first follow by the next

[@iloveGIRsomuch1]

Okay, but can we all take a moment to take in the fact that the professional chef, while throughout the whole video was all about taking things to the next level, taste balance, presentation and so on... seemed to REALLY like the home cook's meal and the presentation.
