Need to do a Chef verse takeaway. The chef will have the time it takes for a takeaway to be delivered to see if they can produce the same food for less money.

[@arjunray01]

[@ashleyneku5432]

So...just stealing other KZbinr's formats? That's like...the opposite of originality.

[@Cossieuk]

@@ashleyneku5432 There are no new ideas anymore only new twists on old ideas. Seeing the chef hacks needed to beat the time is what is both fun and useful

[@consolescrub4031]

@@Cossieuk Devil's advocate how would you know there's no new ideas? The collaborative burger contest is a new one for me. That said, I'm not sure where the implied twist is on this idea you're suggesting compared to the original. I'd honestly be more interested to see normals vs takeaway as we already know chefs can do it from Joshua Weissman. They might not make it but it would probably be closer and still need some cheffy hacks they picked up. They'll probably always do it cheaper than a restaurant as it needs a markup to make money but trying to beat a restaurant's time without including the delivery time (they can prepare ingredients in advance in exchange) might be a genuine challenge.

[@Cossieuk]

@@consolescrub4031 The fast Burger challenge is just a take on the Omelette challenge from Saturday Kitchen but with a twist. I am sure they could come up with a twist on beating the restaurant. While their is markup restaurants also buy in bulk for a discount so price could still be tight. In fact you could only give the chefs half the budget which would make it more challenging

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’m horrified yet cackling at the prospect of Mike saying that Vein and Poo equals flavour 😂

[@veridico84]

It definitely does equal flavour. Not a good flavour, but a flavour of sorts.

[@angeecelinova7760]

depends on how digested the prawn food was when its life was ended :D

@angeecelinova7760 yeah either it was fresh decaying organic material, or digested decaying organic material

Possible idea for a budget chef vs normal battle, but the twist could be that the chef buys the premium ingredients and the normal gets the budget ingredients and then they use eachothers to see what they could make with the others ingredients.

It's a must if you like prawn crackers go find them in an Asian shop. There are quite a few makers try all for the one you like. Some are small other taste way better. The ones on the show are nice but I have found one that is way huge when cooked and taste way better.

[@travellingslim]

16:32 The question that Jamie had at the end is the same question that is a motivational roadblock for me in trying out these kinds of recipes - in general it seems like the more complicated and fancier the dish, the less you get on the plate at the end. Working for an hour or more to get three or four bites of food just doesn't feel rewarding enough to me, even if I have fun during the process. Sure the recipe can be scaled up but they can quickly get prohibitively expensive!
