Italian Chef Reacts to Pro Chef vs Homemade Alfredo Sauce

This video confirms my theory: chefs tend to complicate simple and traditional recipes, making them not accessible to everyone and in my opinion making them worse.
In this case I've definitely preferred the homemade version of this dish, because simplicity always wins!

[@konstantinradislov4150]

Vincenzo, if you watch many videos about Italian foods in Epicurious, first of all, you need to forget anything about Italian food because sometimes the professional chefs trying to make it... In a fancy way, in a creative way, with limited ingredients from homecooks, but in the end it doesn't look like what we want. But love your videos. Love from Indonesia... 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰

[@vincenzosplate]

Hahah I'll keep that in mind in case I check out more of their videos. And thanks for your support ☺️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@brcha]

@@vincenzosplateAlso, I believe the pro chef has to use all of the ingredients, so there's no option there.

[@konstantinradislov4150]

​@@brcha I agree with you. No options to not use it or replace it with other properly ingredients, Vincenzo...

[@riski_putra6725]

Funfact about this women, Emily: when the first time she appear, she make her food kinda chaotic after use ketchup, thus called "ketchup queen" from internet. But she didn't give up and improve her cook to even join cooking class. Her hardwork pay off where she got rank up from amateur into homecooker. I proud of her.

I learn how to make the real carbonara from Vincenzo plate , the real Carbonara has a very silky and smooth texture very different from the one from the fake aka cream carbonara.vincenzo plate has opened my eyes to real carbonara. Thank you very much Vincenzo plate

[@vincenzosplate]

And thank you so much for following along and trusting in my recipes! It means a lot to me ☺️👨‍🍳

[@cathymercado413]

Yes, me too. I don't understand why us Filipinos use cream instead of eggs.

[@VanZoneSteveV]

I love your channel Vincenzo and you have made me a better cook. I think you misunderstood the premise (which is why it’s gotten ten million views). Clearly Emily did NOT have the ingredients for Alfredo. As a result, Frank could not make Alfredo. He was forced by the ingredients to cook something different and decided to make a visually appealing and flavorful unique dish. By the way “whimsy” and “whimsical” refer to “being fun in an unusual, odd, unexpected, or lighted hearted way”. Your critique of Frank would have benefited from “here’s what I might have tried, let’s see what Frank does”

[@vincenzosplate]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the video above. While I appreciate Frank's attempt to do something creative with the ingredients that he had, I don't think that eating fried plain spaghetti would be very tasty 😅

[@kellym6019]

I don't know if Vincenzo will get to read this comment but I wish I could change his perspective of Americans as citizens and and cooks. We're not all bad and we love you. Also as far as home cooks go, we are all on very tight budgets and are just trying to do the best we can with what we have to work with. I love you and your content ❤

[@mckidney1]

Flours in the US can often have less than 8g of protein per 100g. So you need to compensate when making fresh pasta or if you buy at the store you have to add something next to it. I do agree in general and I also thing people do not need to eat everything on one plate.

[@mukkaar]

I do have to say, chefs season everything. That's why restaurant dishes taste so good. Ofc, there's just the food too, but restaurant dishes are generally have a lot more salt than what people use at home. It's also how they use the salt, often they season each ingredient so that you can maximize taste of each ingredient. I understand it seems bit bizzare, but it does work.

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

The challenge was "how fast can we ruin a $1400 Parm wheel".

[@LongBeachDragon]

As far as your salt criticism, Vincenzo, Americans salt in stages, generally after each major ingredient or step. So they may sprinkle here and sprinkle there, it generally isn't much more than you use seasoning liberally all at once.

[@Balthazare69]

Today we r making salt with a salt in a salt, so first u must put a salt in a salt, then mix a salt with a salt, meanwhile u add a salt to a salt and season it with a salt, at the end u get this beautiful salt with amazing salt and u can garnish it with... a sprinkle of salt 😄😄😄

[@GRIZZDOGG01]

🤣🤣🤣

[@vincenzosplate]

Hahahahah that's the perfect summery of the recipe!

[@NoxiousRob]

Don't forget to finish it with some parmigiano reggiano,, which helps to add a bit of saltiness to the dish.

[@AttommicDog]

In the chef's defense, he was handed a pile of garbage and tried to make something fancy. Still a total fail.

[@carrieullrich5059]

Epicurious chef's recipes usually look revolting.

But he had enough opportunity to make something worthy but ended up putting cooked spaghetti straight into a fryer and burning some garlic. Cant blame the ingredients for that, that's just poor creativity.

[@KevinLeong3012]

[@MirzatBegaliev]

@Vincenzo when you ask is that necessary? Yes thats the rules of the show to use all ingredients he has in front of him)))

[@vincenzosplate]

Thanks for providing me with this information!

[@LongBeachDragon]

You really have no idea just how cheap that Kraft stuff is. At the most expensive store in my area, I can get 8oz (c. 225g) of it for USD $5.49, less than half the price of authentic Parmigiano (7oz/200g is roughly $11.49 USD.) I honestly had dreams of banning that Kraft crap that is mostly tree pulp.

[@timetraveller07070]

i just dont understand why people use chicken breast and call it juicy , its the most dry meat of a chicken its not juicy , its never juicy , its what the F1 tyres are made from , even the soft tyres ...no ....the thighs are juicy , the wings are juicy , not the breast of a chicken ...

[@AngelMenendezFitness]

I normally don't comment on the reaction videos even do I watch all your videos but on this one I had to comment. The chef is doing a redemption of something with this ingredients but what people fails to realize is that look a the work he is having to do to make does ingredients work. Meaning if you spend 2 dollars more for grana padano or 7 for parmesano reggiano you would have saved so much time. Guys and ladies opportunity cost is a real thing. YOUR TIME COST MONEY. With that being said Vincenzos love your videos thanks to you I have made a lot of amazing Italian dishes to my family and loved ones. Have an amazing day and thank you so much my friend.

[@wintermoon7003]

Uh, I don't understand what you're trying to say and I'm assuming English isn't your first language. I see something mentioned about time and opportunity costs. Personally, if I'm making a dish, while it might take a bit longer, I much rather have fresh REAL cheese over the fake plastic garbage. Real chefs take pride in their food and the ingredients they use. I wouldn't want to eat from someone who cares more about time than they do about giving their customers, friends, and family, a good meal. But then again, some people actually care about what goes into their body, and the body of their loved ones while others, like you, don't, if that's how you justify feeding them garbage food. Much rather pay for a better quality ingredient and know I'm not going to die from it being something made in some lab possibly.

[@AngelMenendezFitness]

@wintermoon7003 that is exactly what I said.

[@thedude2916]

You I have learn so much from you mate. You're a great teacher.

[@pedro3131]

Grana Padano is like twice the price of one of those Green bottles and not available in lots of the super markets where I live. Granted since watching your channel I'll either spring for the real stuff or just eat something else; but for most of us non Italians we grew up with the cheap Kraft bottle in the states.

[@vincenzosplate]

If it's cheaper, there must be a reason!

[@kathrynlarsen3683]

@@vincenzosplate It is more to do with import/shipping cost. In my grocery store a 198g wedge of Boars Head Grana Padano is $17. A 227g bottle of Kraft cost $7. Now an american wedge of BelGioioso Parmesan Cheese 228g is $8. Compared to a 100g imported Parmesan Reggiano chunk cost about $14.

[@fishstix4209]

​@vincenzosplate it's cheaper because America makes its own in Wisconsin and doesn't have to pay the import tax for shipping it across an ocean....

[@avonlave]

Yeah I grew up with the green Kraft bottle. That was 35+ years ago. I no longer watch Dukes of Hazzard or ride around on my big wheel (a dukes of Hazzard one!). There's no excuse to use that merda nowadays. If you can't find parmigiano reggiano, at least find some American parmesan.

[@pedro3131]

@@avonlave point being unless you've had the pleasure of being exposed to Vincenzo's videos it's likely all you know. I just assumed that's what parm tasted like so I had no reason to ask anything else out because why would I bother trying to find substitutes for something I know I didn't really like.

[@donarmando916]

Every good meal starts with the quality and choice of the ingredients.

[@mckidney1]

Watching this makes me realize the context for those mean comments. Vincenzo can be really harsh at some point and if you do not pay attention you miss the parts where comments on the good parts too. The thing is a show to promote common sense cooking at home - so I like the concept of making pro chefs struggling and making complicated things to highlight the home cooks.

[@nandkuj]

I was waiting for "the pasta is dead" 😂😂😂😂

[@vincenzosplate]

The pasta was dead and gone this time 😂

[@cliffharaldjallamekk9845]

In her defense, she's just doing what Frank told her to do. If anything, you should be roasting him for it, lol.

[@bryce4228]

This guy perfectly exemplifies the problem with many chefs/cooks. They want to overcomplicate things and focus on the appearance of the dish. This was the case for quite a few of the people I worked, and went to culinary school with. Always focus on flavor first, and then plating. Seems obvious, but Manny don't understand this.

[@vincentpellicone3458]

I will say, the reason you need the salt after frying the ingredients, break down the oil and prevent against getting soggy / oily

[@Miranda-c6q]

Fried sage and fried cilantro is delicious. You might need to experiment to get it just right, but when it’s correct, it’s very good.

[@vincenzosplate]

Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to try them 😊

[@Miranda-c6q]

@@vincenzosplate, it also makes a nice, flavored oil to cook with after you fry the herb in it. Crispy pan fried potatoes work nicely. And it’s can be delicious just to dip some good bread in it a little.

That was not his point. The poeple who thought this challenge out could have chosen grana pardano.

[@KezzaTianzun]

How can you say "I don't want that" when he shows the brown bits in the pan from the chicken? Thats called fond, its where all the flavours are concentrated. Its the most important part of making all kinds of gravies/sauces for meat. The fact you pull a funny face and say "I don't want that" shows how much of an amateur cook you are that you don't even know how useful that fond is.

The issue I with cooking shows in general is you do it for the money, sometimes with a large budget to staet with. If you make a mistake, do it again, if ot something minor point it out. The issue I have with "high profile chefs" is if you need to make a twist do one not five. Both recepies were Franks so the twist for the first should be just the wheel and explaining how use it and make the pasta. The second he could choose the one alteration. Heavy cream not special enough, skip it. But hey if Gordon or Jamie were the they would probably add peas so.... 😂

Boursin and pasta (not fried) would be interesting. It has a low melting temperature, so there is no need for cream. Not Italian but could be nice.

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

The idea you had for the fried pastaball kind of looks like what we have in the netherlands, wich is a "bamischijf" its basically a fried breaded ball with soft spicy chinese noodles inside. Would've been a great idea to do that with something resembling alfredo pasta, with the ingredients he had... but he didn't have eggs, flour or breadcrums. The epicurious challenge is to only use what you have and as a pro chef try and make it fancy, I guess. And at the end turned out even Frank had never made pasta in a cheesewheel, so no one there really knew to melt the cheese with alcohol first 😅 (but I agree, why make it so hard on yourself and also waste that cheese... when its way easier to just finish the dish in the pan.💀) Ps. Whimsical isnt perse a bad thing 😅 it means; " full of or characterized by whims, which are odd ideas that usually occur to you very suddenly. If you decide at the last minute to fly to Europe, you could say you went there on a whim. Whimsical can also mean tending toward odd or unpredictable behavior."

I'm going to make alfredo your way because the way my mom made it, she always used heavy whipping cream. I never liked alfredo sauce because I always thought it tasted bland. But now I know I have been eating it the wrong way! I'm going to make real alfredo and try it. If I still don't care for it, then it just wasn't meant or me to like it. I don't care for pasta + cheese anyway, I don't like mac and cheese. Even my mom's, which is almost all completely by scratch other than the noodles themselves. She's a really good home cook though. I will just have to try it the REAL way to make alfredo! Though my mom would use real parm, not the fake stuff. Edit: I'm definitely going to have to try it the real "American" way then! Not what we customized it to be! But, we add in the chicken to make it more filling than just pasta alone because in America, we have to add meat to everything we eat. We are a more steak and potato kind of country! Heh! But personally, I never cared for the chicken in the alfredo. And that was a lot of salt! I heard that cooking class teaches you to salt everything. Salt at every step and every ingredient. I'm with you, TOO SALTY! And I love salt! Good homecooks in America, don't use that much salt. At least my mom doesn't! While she might not make real alfredo, she can still cook really well and I'm so glad she never put salt on everything! Maybe enough to season but nothing excessive like this dude!

L’unica cosa che purtroppo si sono dimenticati di fare (come fanno tra l’altro anche con altri nostri piatti, ma non solo gli americani) è di cambiare anche il nome al piatto. Se lo chef Alfredo avesse visto quelle versioni che hanno fatto gli americani del suo piatto, avrebbe semplicemente scosso la testa ed avrebbe detto…. per cortesia… togliete il mio nome da quel piatto, perché quello non è il mio piatto !

It's nothing like the pasta that he fried though! On the contrary, it's very delicious❤

[@chillaah2000]

@@vincenzosplate Indeed. Its how you said: Where is the love in this?

[@frankallen3634]

I'll stick with the fake parm because the real stuff is way more expensive. 4 bucks as opposed to a small wedge of aged for 35 bucks

If I open my garage and serve a pasta with cheese and ketchup will Empicurious call me a "Pro Chef"?

[@Andinus3000]

I honestly prefer to use Grana Padano when making alfredo now. I think it being a less nutty more buttery type cheese goes better with the butter.

[@vincenzosplate]

Interesting choice! Now you made me curious to try and make Alfredo with Grana Padano 😊

[@zrspecial]

How about if you show us how to make the napolitan pasta cake

[@vhfgamer]

As I have said in many other videos before.... MORE GAAAAAAARLIC!

[@vincenzosplate]

That would have saved Frank's dish? 😅

[@matthewwalsh974]

Jeeeeeez... Chef Frank MURDERED those ingredients. That is the worst dish I have ever seen in my life (done by a pro). If he just made the crappy American "Alfredo" dish they way they normally do it, it would have been 100 times better. Bloody fancy chefs always trying to be "creative." Just make nice tasting food. This is why I absolutely love the simplicity of authentic Italian cuisine.. There is no better food on the planet.
