We challenged chefs of three different levels - an amateur, a home cook and a professional chef - to make their versions of Fettuccine Alfredo. And then we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Which Alfredo was the best?

    Level 1 chef: why eat at a restaurant when you can make it yourself 4x cheaper. Level 3 chef: why eat at a restaurant when you can make it yourself 8x more expensive.

    Frank : makes pasta Julie : uses fresh pasta Steven: disses on olive garden
  • @DizzyedUpGirl
    I love that Stephen's innovation comes from being absolutely perturbed by high prices of easy to make meals.
  • @angusdurham561
    I love that stephen always has some story from his life relating to the dish. Like how he puts broccoli in his nachos because the store by his house started selling broccoli really cheap
  • @sheao6551
    I was going to follow Frank's technique but it seems I've misplaced my giant wheel of cheese... damn
  • @sharkkie2267
    I love how they edit. The way they contradict the other person.
  • @zoyfattay5458
    Stephen is an amateur chef but a professional human

    “Let it boil like my blood when people criticize my fettuccine” “Make it all nice and pretty, like myself” “I think I put too much pepper because m- cough cough “ m o o d
  • @cucumber4571
    Frank's pasta was probably the expensive pasta that Steven was complaning about
  • @kaspas5511
    Bro my favourite thing in this is when someone says something, and a higher chef says the opposite
  • @pearlkohler5422
    “I didn’t say anything about butter” “I got this nutmeg smuggled in from Jamaica” Julie is a national treasure
  • Steven: "You guys should have a Pre-K, cause I'm not even Level 1." Also Steven: "Creeping on Level 2 territory."
  • @Saniya-gh6ij
    level 1 chef: add chesse in pasta level 3 chef: add pasta in cheese
  • @FortunePayback
    3:44 "Surprise, a whole wheel of cheese." Well...I was indeed surprised. That's like THE definition of "Weird flex, but OK."
  • @MrJreed1000
    I was hyped cause I really thought I would be able to make a level 3 dish finally Make fresh pasta ✔ Get ridiculously expensive truffles✔ Save pasta water for sauce✔ Mixed pasta in giant monster truck tire sized cheese block🤔 Dammit Frank🙄
  • @natsukikanzaki
    "It doesn't take a lot of ingredients" takes out an entire cheese wheel
  • @kosakos1999
    Basically: Level 1 - Budget version Level 2 - Balanced version Level 3 - Food for the Greek Gods version
  • @kthor8877
    “It’s pasta, not rocket science, just do it” “It’s boiling, like my blood once people criticise my fettuccine” “Make it look beautiful, like myself” “We don’t wanna add too much pepper - starts coughing “ mood

    What I really like about this series is we’re never told that one chef’s way is “right” & the others are “wrong”, they’re all different ways to cook that require different techniques but still yield delicious food
  • @rifto5759
    I love Stephen's confidence, even though he knows he's a level 1 chef.
