Professional chef Saul Montiel and home cook Gabrielle are swapping materials and hoping for the best! We set Gabrielle up with $167 worth of the finest ingredients from chef Saul’s kitchen along with his knockout chicken parmesan recipe. To lend a helping hand, food scientist Rose dialed in to offer some of her trademark wisdom and encouragement. Over with Saul, $19 worth of ingredients were being given new life and a few augmentations in a quest to improvise a gourmet chicken parm. Grab a slice of garlic bread and tune in to find out who came out on top under these mixed up circumstances!

  • @messi4722
    I remember Saul was soo shy before now he’s like Frank he’s very Confident
  • Chef Saul: "As cold as my heart." Then proceeds to laugh the kind of laugh that I picture a sunflower would laugh.
  • @DizzyedUpGirl
    I absolutely love Saul. He's got the explosive personality of a Lorenzo and the skills of a Frank, all rolled into one.

  • @pabloromero4028
    Saul has the perfect balance between dad humour, five-year old’s humour, genious humour and genuine humour, he is just awesome, love the guy!
  • @muqmanor
    This absolute madman saw a box of spaghetti and was like "oh cool I can make a sandwich out of that" Probably the most surprising pro chef twist I've ever seen on this series, super cool
  • @bajanmaster2958
    Gabrielle is now a student at the Institute of Culinary Education. She's leveling up LITERALLY 😃
  • @bliziesm6986
    Saúl: don't drop it like crazy.. Drop it like it's hot 🎶 drop it like it's hot. A man of culture indeed.

    I appreciate Saul's substitutes. They genuinely were something you could find in your kitchen (not like vanilla beans or oyster mushrooms), they fit in the spirit of the recipe, they weren't ridiculous expensive, they only enhanced the existing recipe without replacing it, and he still used what he was given (the tomato sauce, boxed spaghetti). I think that's how these episodes should be; one or two simple substitutions or additions that fit the spirit of what they're given. Not "ignore what came in the box and do my own thing." THANK YOU for your creativity in this and using what you were given, Saul. THANK YOU!
  • @jarodnewton2619
    i just love how saul makes a joke about having a cold heart and then proceeds to laugh like a little child we must protect him at all costs
  • @UraYukimitsu
    I really like how chef Saul only added very simple ingredients that everyone already has at home, other chefs always add some crazy expensive stuff and I feel like it goes against the whole point of these videos
  • “I’m Chef Saul and I do whatever I want!” Creates a Italien Chickenburger What a madman :D
  • @hata3128
    "I'm gonna make a parmesan cheese rico. But basically it's fried, fried cheese. And that's something that I like to add to my salads. WHEN I EAT SALADS ONCE A MONTH." Saul's humour is off-the-chart today as always LOL.
  • @Aidan_Yao
    It’s official. Saul invented the spaghetti chicken parm sandwich, making him infinitely leveled in this scheme
  • @messi4722
    Chef Saul is the Pro uncle at every BBQ he’s Hispanic Frank
  • @k90sas-choppu46
