Can a Chef turn Taco Bell into a new dish? | Sorted Food

[@sspiderandbee]

Kush losing his mind was the best part of this

[@emils2000]

And that is actually the best part, because when your autopilot takes over and you JUST do things and get an amazing result - that shows your level!

[@ponyote]

In fairness, Jamie would drive most around the bend. Lol

[@JS-wc4xs]

Is that why Kush picks a spoon and sticks it back into the food? Hopefully that's the reason. As an executive chef I'm already wincing at the lack of food safety (and sanitation), regardless of it being Taco Bell. Kush is still on camera and should show he's capable of keeping the food safe. In other words he's not settling a good example

[@saxyrocks]

Dad brain?

[@FireBunny12]

@@JS-wc4xs I don't understand why people are so obsessed with food safety in cooking shows. The whole thing is about entertaining others, and the only people eating it know what they're getting into. Like, yeah a chef should know food safety, but maybe it's not that important when he's cooking a taco bell arancini served in a martini glass for views on the internet
