4 Levels of Mac and Cheese: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

We challenged chefs of three different levels - an amateur, a home cook and a professional chef - to make their versions of macaroni and cheese. And then we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Which mac & cheese was the best?

However, it has been the best Mac and Cheese I have ever made(according to myself and my family who are very picky themselves). The taste is so outrageously flavorful that it works. Please, I know many, many, people have complained about it, but how about you give it try first and then see how you feel about it?

Isn't macaroni the pasta itself? The type of pasta you are referring to are elbows but they alone are not macaroni. Any pasta used in this dish I think is considered macaroni.

[@Tengokuchi]

@@patrykkuffel2679 No. The pastas used in this video were all of the macaroni variety, which are tube shaped, but it's not just any pasta that you use in the dish. For example, angel hair pasta isn't macaroni. You could still put cheese sauce on angel hair pasta, but that wouldn't make it macaroni and cheese.

[@TheLEAprechaun]

I could've easily been convinced that Anthony is the level 3 chef, learned so much from him!

[@grey_raine4289]

Everyone is choosing to completely omit the fact that the Level 3 chef also added smoked bacon and pepper to his crumb topping, instead choosing to only focus on the sweet things he added to it. Honestly, he was probably going for a savory spicy-sweetness with that crumb topping.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

He said that’s what he was going for. And he added sweetness to the sauce too, not just the toppings. It’s probably tastes good, but I do not want a sweet Mac and cheese. I don’t even want a spicy Mac and cheese. I want _macaroni_ and _cheese_ , if I wanted graham crackers I’d eat them for desert.

[@SengokuTheGouda]

So I was really intrigued by the level 3 chefs recipe, so I set myself on replicating it since it’s a pretty simple recipe all things considered. It was so freaking good. The topping had more of an impact than the standard bread crumb, and actually felt like it had a purpose, but the cheese was not lost. It was a lot of cheese and kinda pricey, but it was so freaking worth it. I’m not gonna make it every time I want Mac and Cheese, but I will definitely treat myself occasionally, and will take it to potlucks. Edit: The recipe in the description is definitely borked when it comes to the spices. It’s balanced for roughly 8-10 portions I’d say. I skipped the add water step since it wasn’t in the video and moved the decimal one space left for the spices, so 5.4 grams of Mustard for example. Worked fine for me.

Probably because they recognize that complex flavours usually taste better?

He took the advice of not trying to turn his hobby into his job. He loves being a home cook and sharing his food with others, but not to the point that he is at level 3 and lives the exhausting life of an executive chef who seems to have made this mac and cheese 500 times.

home chefs watch a lot of videos and recipes of other home chefs, since cooking is a big hobby (and they all remind me of my dad). They all seem really excited to share their cooking with people who aren't their families lol

When I make macaroni and cheese, I use cheddar, bleu cheese and either Parmesan or pecorino Romano. Nutmeg is a must. I also like adding vegetables to it (usually peas and chopped jalapeño peppers). I made one for Thanksgiving this year and used buttermilk and a little heavy cream. SOOOO good. All of these looked really good, although I don't like American cheese.
