[@deprofundis3293]

There's nothing more frustrating than Chris tasting something initially and then completely forgetting to add it thereafter. RIP thyme. 😭

[@tiffanylastinger3925]

And parsley

[@edblair929]

I think if he says it, he should be given it

[@sherpa8750]

I miss Chris going to the market himself and smelling every item on the shelf.

[@chrism45]

That probably took too long out of everyone's day

[@cameronkoch482]

@@chrism45 Is that you Chris Morocco because that sounds like an excuse.

[@Doloph]

@@cameronkoch482 LOL

[@TarossBlackburn]

@@chrism45 I feel it's also a little bit of a money saver. All the stuff he guessed correctly, they will already have. All the rest he is off about is the only stuff that needs purchasing immediately.

[@emraef]

@@TarossBlackburn the ingredients for a single video aren't gonna cost much more than $50, and it's not like they'll have to throw everything away. the time it takes to go to the store will cost much more in labour. they have a lot of test cooks working there that can use up probably any ingredient, especially if it's not super uncommon like all the stuff you see in this recipe.

[@thatdudebro]

first two minutes and his tasting ability is pretty remarkable. he nailed everything he picked up. this is not your average dish either.

[@ruffprophetproductions]

Literally came to say the same thing. This man is crazy good lol

[@pdfbanana]

he's very impressive, but i think this dish may be a case of "seems hard because it's unusual, but has pretty distinct & recognizable flavors"

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

Probably one of the first times he’s done that tho tbh. This show exists because he’s “super taster” and he’s often extremely wrong. Maangchi was on and she threw a lil shade at him about it.

[@MrSnaveRevilo]

Including the olive oil spill, I had a good laugh at that

[@rybobuno]

He does it every time I’ve watched. It’s pretty insane.

[@overlordbakerofdoom]

Having watched most of these Reverse Engineering episodes, it always surprises me when Chris can nail a recipe that seems so much more complicated or, at least, has a lot of ingredients that I'm not imaginative enough to put together

[@ecmphg]

We literally just watched the man smell a glass jar of upright knives somehow. He's not human.

[@justjones4148]

It's always funny to me when he mentions something in his tasting (thyme here) and then never uses it in any of his attempts. I always think "Chris you tasted it! You know it's there why aren't you using it!"

[@DeathBeNotProudComma]

Yeah I think the issue is he can't take notes while he is tasting and forgets. He needs like a designated notetaker to make it fairer to him.

[@frankiel2980]

@@DeathBeNotProudComma a note taker would be so great honestly and would even bring up new challenges for him, like thinking about what he was just rambling about and what he actually needs

[@jaystevens137]

It's true! He always seems to do that with herbs.

[@deprofundis3293]

Yes!! That made me unreasonably angry, lol

[@tiffanylastinger3925]

Its hard to remember everything and write it down when hes thinking of i gradients

[@ori-yorudan]

Lmao no way, this is a 95% score at the least. That ingredient identification was absolutely incredible.

[@therubylemur]

Chris tasting the oil on the floor made me laugh so hard

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

My brain scanned over this sentence and I didn’t read “laugh” and I was like 😳

[@whitneybobitney]

I laughed even harder when he smelled the jar of chefs knives with all the tips pointing upward 😂😂😂

[@ecmphg]

@@whitneybobitney he can smell glass 🥰

[@TheSongwritingCat]

@@whitneybobitney He's not wrong. Maybe cut the set dressing when the person on camera is blindfolded.

[@bdavis1193]

This is my favorite part of this channel. Amazed by Chris' skills

[@geraldtompkins5775]

This is the only remnant of what made BA so good. Brad and Andy are sort of around. We need more kitchen staff development.

[@ottawamountainman]

This was sooooo much an A territory performance!! Can we please BLIND the judge to your own suggested scores so that you don’t get nickel and dimed points…

[@yeilluzm]

Agree!

[@deprofundis3293]

Totally agree!!

[@Rodviet]

When can we get Chris back in the supermarket? That was one of my favorite parts! I loved seeing him getting lost in all the brands and styles of cheese, pasta, spices haha!

[@philipcoriolis6614]

I am of the opinion that Chris most often improves the recipes.

[@br0dy32]

I love Chris going off about the oil bottle and the knives. Truly. ❤

[@lindsaymckenzie4821]

The hot sauce guess is wild to me! Chris is amazing!

[@Debba521]

These have to be my favorite videos on this channel, yes even slightly above Brad's goofy It's Alive videos. Chris knows his stuff. He's really thoughtful how he puts a dish together and obviously really cares not just about getting it right, but making it really well. That's why I like him best. I really wanna see him crack that "A" one of these days!

[@berrmcc11]

I kinda miss when Chris would go to the store too 😂

[@asquithmainlines699]

Can you imagine how much more funny these would be if they let Brad judge them! I would love to hear his comments.

[@justjones4148]

Found the two I remembered, Marcus Samuelsson's Swedish Meatballs and Paul Hollywood's Cornish Pasties.

[@karlcarlsburg9641]

I love Chris, he has a great personality and so much knowledge about cooking. This is the last of BA that I still watch every time

[@Nasalkeihpos]

I miss Chris shopping and getting stuck at the cheesemonger.

[@umsami]

He should automatically be given Red Leicester with any cheddar request.

[@WerdnaNiraehs]

Chris has a way of doing stuff in a way that makes sense to absolutely nobody but him. Truly an expert in working harder, not smarter. And I love it.

[@Lorangebeatrice]

Chris is a culinary genius. Wafting the inside of that cloche was smart, too.

[@kellybates4311]

these videos bring me so much joy. thanks for being awesome chris (and ofc all the crew too 😊) ❤

[@ryanpierc3]

Chris called the Thyme! I’m surprised he didn’t kinda revisit that thought! But amazing job it’s crazy you can reverse engineer something like this!

[@Eva-li5tp]

YES! recreating with Chris is my favorite thing to look forward to❤ thanks for being my comfort KZbinr

[@sondraharris2629]

I love this show but miss when it was two days of Chris’ torture. His next day after a night of agonizing overthinking was brilliant!

[@marguaritetherese3156]

Honeycrisp Facts: State Apple of Minnesota, developed by the University of Minnesota Horticultural Research Center in the 70s, bred for taste rather than other favorable traits like growing, shipping, or storing well, and Chris Morocco's desert island apple.

[@Toledotourbillion]

Can we have Brad try this challenge?😂 And Chris can be the judge. Bro dream team match up 👍

[@miapetilli]

Omg lol yes please

[@maya-gur695]

These videos make my day every time they go up!

[@frankvanrijn964]

I really thought he was going to nail it for the first time, A grade territory! Nonetheless extremely well done, I can't believe how he's doing this anyway. These vids are the ones I look forward to every single time! Respect to Chris!

[@joshp8535]

I thought he was going to 100% that 2nd waffle. He had the hot sauce and he put black pepper in the first one! Why didn't he just add them?!

[@arlenesolis024]

❤❤Chris you need to write a cookbook. I love that you didn’t over think and you trusted your first instinct. You Chris Morocco …you do have super power taste buds. No cape just apron as your super hero outfit..plus spoons lol 😂

[@soupinmyhead]

My wife says Chris should have gotten an A for this one.

[@Theater00jock]

It would be interesting for them to give him something REALLY deceptively simple. Like Marcella Hazan's tomato-butter-onion sauce.

[@boonjabby]

NGL, miss the 2 day cook and the ability to see chris scoot around the shop and struggle with the cheese section.

[@mono_chromia]

still love this show so much but i really miss seeing chris scoot around the grocery store on a cart lol

[@Hermaniac8]

Those oil bottles are a MENACE

[@qrcking]

Literally the only BA segment I watch anymore

[@wlshhamster]

how about having a 1 vs 1 recrating challenge every 5 episodes ? liike other ba people /chefs vs chris ?

[@carelthegrey]

Nailed it in the first two minutes. Amazed and astounded. Well done Chris.

[@garcipat]

Very well done. Hard to make up the last 15% since its probably nearly impossible to deduct the kind of apple and even that there are two different kinds. You would need to tast them all to just guess that there are two different types.

[@passiveaggressive6175]

So glad that he put the Buttermilk back. Phew😮‍💨

[@h_c8716]

Well done Chris! I was shouting “keep the buttermilk!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@emilywebb8040]

I want brad to try to do what Chris does and then have Chris be the judge!

[@gionnadawson5189]

U guys should give Chris something with impossible meat

[@5stringaustin]

These always just blow my mind. I will say, though. I feel like when you don’t put black pepper in “Cheddar Black Pepper” waffles, you should get dinged a few more points.

[@deprofundis3293]

Yeah, too lenient

[@seanlefebvre8480]

Every time I watch this I am so amazed. His ability to pick everything up and replicate is amazing. Truly fun to watch every time.

[@vycki1403]

My jaw dropped when Chris nailed “agrodolce” 😯😦😮

[@sophiophile]

Yeah, I wonder whether someone slipped using the word around the office a couple weeks before when they were prepping the episode, because even the judge kept calling it a compote instead of agrodolce.

[@therogue1542]

Chris morocco adding cayenne to wake things up is such a chris morocco thing to do

[@Amya_Blue66]

This series is why I subscribed to the channel. Chris is amazing.

As a nurse I appreciate the Danskos.

[@dyltr0]

So impressive. Great job Chris. This one wasn't easy

[@MissLightningFerron]

I love this series so much! But I do miss the times when Chris used to shop for the ingredients himself😢 It added a sort of whimsical fun element

[@Smash2319]

I miss that too!! Well and I feel like now the new people are to easy on Chris with the scores but maybe that’s just me🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@dylanhobbs9655]

more chris and brad back in the test kitchen

[@sidviscus]

I'm still holding a grudge against Bobby Flay because on the very first episode of Iron Chef America, the guest chef was Hiroyuki Sakai, the winner of Iron Chef Japan, and Bobby Flay "won" with some kind of Tex-Mex nonsense, against Sakai's complex and very skillfully prepared dishes. That was a fake win, I don't care what the show said. Eternal grudge.

[@tamarakarlas1]

This recipe looks sooooo good. I want to eat it!!

[@joshuabrunetti2001]

how does he do it?! I took one look at the dish and decided that this must be the hardest one they've given him. he walks out and nails all the ingredients on the first taste! right down to the parsley & thyme! one of Mr Morocco's best performances

[@casualstroll21]

I'd really like someone else in the BA to try this and Chris to watch over like some kind of mentor, maybe he can give like three tips! :D

[@amandalunde51]

The audacity to serve him two plates of perfectly square waffles and then take points off for square waffles. 😂

[@sparklypinkleopard26]

he is sooooo talented!!

[@AlexusMaximusDE]

Remember when BA had the budget to hire someone for the sound?

[@maddelynnsambo]

Why did going to the store stop in this series?!
