$220 vs $19 Fish & Chips: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Professional chef Chris Scott from the Institute of Culinary Education and home cook Beth are trading fish and chips recipes and hitting the kitchen. We set Beth up with $220 worth of ingredients and Chris’s recipe while sending a more modest but still respectable $19 worth of goods back the other way. Food scientist Rose dialed in to lend Beth some expert advice while chef Chris worked some magic to improvise his way up to gourmet. Which fish and chips are you pairing with a pint?

Beth and Chris just seem like the kindest, chillest people in the world and I want to hang out and learn from both of them.

[eldibs]

I like chef Chris. He's chill and seems like a positive dude.

[evelynmatheson]

Beth is one of my favs. Too bad she didn’t get to talk about mozzarella this time. Love how she says “mutz”. This dish looked super yum.

[potatohead]

My favourite episode just because of the wholesomeness in the end 😭 just two wholesome people eating comfort food with their calm and peaceful energy

[FATL]

If there was ever a doubt that Beth is from the East coast, just watch her break down that lobster with the confidence of a pro.

[loriki]

I appreciate Chef Chris giving tips to home viewers!

[Hex...]

As a Brit I was caught so off guard when they made “chips” by slicing the potato super thin

[snowyJake]

I love Chris! Glad to see him on the show again

[DrBrangar]

I am honestly amazed that Beth has never filleted a fish.

[redone]

"Even the lobster thinks it's ridiculous"😂 ...she already won the cook off at that point..lol

[dearthofdoohickeys]

I really like this pro chef. I could watch him for hours, his manner is so soothing.

[ela.evigilant]

I like how excited Beth was over the ingredients. It was like she couldn't wait to get started and could taste it already.

*Beth is like a Grandma who knows how to do anything with just a little teaching her how to do it*

[pretzelmaker]

I love Chris' voice. He always sounds so reassuring, even when staring at his restricted ingredients. His and Beth's energies are great.

[Novedrake]

Watching these type shows, filleting fish always seems easy, but watching a pretty good chef struggle with it kinda put it in perspective how much practice it takes. But damn did she handle that lobster like a boss!

[noneofyourbusiness]

More of these two together please! Love their chemistry and positivity! They remind me of family members having fun comparing recipes in the kitchen!

[frontdesk]

This is the type of chef I'd want to work with, positive and understanding. He gave props when needed.

[emilymckeeby]

I just need to say that I love watching Beth. Her accent sounds exactly like my dearly departed Aunt Carolyn, and Beth is so sweet and passionate about food, I feel such nostalgia watching her.

[YourMajesty]

We want more Chris! And more Beth! This video gave us a beautiful combination of chill and wholesome!!

[Timmermanofficial]

I love how Chris' recipe book includes the newpaper at the end.
