Iron Chef Dad tries Cheap vs Expensive Food.

[@nivad75]

he's right, price isn't always the best indicator, or in his words "Don't read the cover of the book, son. Read the inside."

[@cyberpaw]

Yeah, so true

[@nuknukisdead]

Also, food items differ by region and brand. Cacao are like coffee beans, the taste varies greatly by region and most of the markup is for the brand and not for the taste. For cavier, there are grades, instead of basing it on price, he should have bought different grades to see if his dad can tell the difference. The tuna didn't even look like they came from the same species. And for soy sauce, kikkoman is literally the golden standard even though he chose it as the cheaper one.

[@infamoswordz]

Ever since I found this in love enjoyed every video put up this one is another one in a long list of awesome keep up the great content and thank you

[@1nvisible1]

*I want your dad to try five different kinds of olive oils!*

[@jsalais02]

On the soy sauce I don’t blame him, kikoman is high quality regardless of price, its recipe and process has been around for 300 years. They still brew traditionally even though it incurs a significant cost. since they are the largest company in soy sauce, and due to volume they produce at, it is feasible.

[@ItsJustKaya]

Good to know. If i ever gonna use soy. Ill be looking out for that one next time

[@hegpxl]

But its so strong in sodium usially. I take the low sodium version any day, I have greater controll over taste and aftertaste, especially when we are talking about good, freshly made nigiri

[@elijahtorres7058]

Your kid is an exploitive ass😢

[@ZeranZeran]

I don't even like soy sauce all on my food (like, I don't dip or pour it) but I know if I had to pick, it would be Kikoman!

[@rbrearey]

[@georgelooney6826]

I can respect the honesty. At least it aint 99% of the time

[@giyuu331]

I can respect that you stole this from another person

[@LesterBrunt]

Yeah, this doesn't mean that Chef's taste is wrong, it can also easily mean that prices are not good indicators of quality. Some products have their prices so ridiculously inflated that you are paying more for the packaging and marketing than the product itself. Sometimes, the cheapest products are cheap because they didn't invest lots into marketing and whatnot, but instead put it all in decent quality ingredients and a low price to undercut the competition.

[@chaoxyz8183]

Quality is only one of many different inputs that go into how much something costs. If quality was all that mattered, lab-grown diamonds would be more expensive than natural ones.

[@Ohshdhaha]

So nice of him being honest. More expensive doesn’t always mean more better.

Cacao has over 400 aromatic flavor profiles, which is more than double what is in wine! That's why craft chocolate can taste so unexpected in comparison to industrial chocolate (what the vast majority of people eat the majority of their lives). I'm a professional chocolate sommelier for 14 years now, and I am still constantly learning new flavor profiles and nuances!

[@melons188]

I was going to say, I feel like he needs a redo on the cacao! It was a bit unfair because it's so vastly different from brand to brand

[@mikeymaiku]

@@melons188all the more reason that you dont need to retest. if its THAT varied then hes got no chance, even if hes a well cultured chef in terms of a culinary pallete

[@Peatingtune]

@@mikeymaiku Experiments have proven that even sommeliers can't always tell cheap stuff from quality. It's pop science.

[@cathybaldry7822]

The fact you do not even know the correct profession term says to me that you are not what you claim. The correct term is chocolatier. A sommelier is a specialised wine waiter who deals specifically with beverages notably wunes. You are embarrassing yourself to the hundreds of hospitality industry professionals who are seeing your post and cringing!

[@Sevicify]

@@cathybaldry7822 Except chocolatier is not the correct term, a chocolatier is simply put someone who creates something using chocolate that has already been made by a chocolate maker. This definitely does not fit into the role of a chocolate sommelier who does not create chocolate, they are closer to a taster but even that is too limiting as the role of a chocolate sommelier is much greater in scope which can be similar in regards to that of a wine sommelier hence why they've adopted the term. Sommelier isn't a term reserved solely for wine you know, aside from chocolate it has been adopted for other things, such as beer and tea, as industries and languages naturally evolve over time.

[@bengilpin7238]

I used to work for Susur at Lee restaurant 10 ish years ago. Chef Jonas was the head chef there at the time and he ran an extremely tight ship. I made the slaws and we’d have to taste everything before service. I noticed the Ume dressing tasted a little sour so I pointed it out to Chef Jonas who tasted it, and looked at me like I was an idiot and said it was fine. Who other than Mr. Susur Lee himself coming into the back before service that day. He was going around tasting everything - always dedicated to the quality of the food and the experience of the guest - Susur tasted the Ume dressing and immediately said “…too sour” and he told me to make sure I taste everything constantly. I said YES CHEF and Chef Jonas yelled at me to change the dressing haha. That was definitely a highlight for me from my time as a cook so thanks for that Chef!
