Andrew isn't a trained chef. I believe he's said his passion is actually film/TV and cooking is a "side" thing. Sohla, on the other hand, has been to culinary school.

I mean, it's not the first time he's done that. In the ricotta episode with Brad he said he's not a chef, the krabby patty contest with Alvin and Matty he said they were real chefs and he was a "jack-off with a camera", in a bunch of interviews he's dodged the title of "chef" etc.. He's a humble guy, he knows what he is and makes the most out of it.
