$203 vs $17 BBQ Chicken: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Pro chef Frank Proto and home cook Beth are swapping their recipes and ingredients before hitting the kitchen to make some BBQ chicken. We provided Beth with everything necessary to make chef Frank’s eye-popping $203 chicken recipe, sending only $17 worth of materials back the other direction. Will Frank elevate Beth’s more modest materials into something gourmet? Can Beth keep up with the demands of Frank’s ingredients list?

Seeing Beth and Frank interact is the most wholesome thing ever

[BerylMorgan]

Beth and Frank always seem like they're cousins at a family reunion conspiring at the barbecue to make the best meal ever

[kbar]

Beth has never made a dish I would not devour instantly. Same for Chef Frank. Top tier duo

[tesselatenowait]

Beth must be made immortal immediately. I demand it. She’s precious♥️

[sydneyreimer]

I love how Frank has been a pro chef for like, a million years and still asks Beth if his food is okay. So sweet ❤

[jomess]

I love that Beth referred to Frank as her Frank. Said at one point "I know my Frank likes his salt"

[klausweasley]

I find it very cute when Beth tries things she's never done before. Her grandkids are lucky to have her as a grandma.

[chilibreath]

Frank: Just because I'm a chef doesn't mean I don't like it simple.

Frank's BBQ Chicken dish: $203.

Seriously, I love it when Frank and Beth are paired up together.

[blamb]

If someone told me Beth was Frank's mom, I would not doubt them at all

[thMandalorian]

I absolutely love Frank Proto and Beth, two legends of Epicurious

[pretzelicious]

She wasn't joking when she said he liked salt, he added it every other step hahaha

[nacho_oreo]

The imperial stout alone is twice the cost of Beth’s meal 😂

[thomasrichardson]

these are 2 of my favorite cooks on the show...everything they do is magic

[florentpef]

Hahaha, I discovered this channel two weeks ago, and now I'm overwhelmed, so many delicious recipes to catch up 😊

[exinon]

I'm here half for the cooking half for all the lovable people they have on the channel, they all have different but fun energies. With this video though, it's mostly just an amazing mix of people, they bounce off each other so well that it just brightens my day seeing it.

[briancoleman]

I've been going through a lot over the last few weeks, and this video actually got me to smile for the first time in a while, and it was a wholesome smile. These two interacting is awesome!

[DM-uvsd]

This was SO AWESOME two humble people coming together to have fun!!!!

[maureensurdez]

What a fun show! I like to watch Frank. I've never seen his friend Beth, but between the two of them it was fun seeing them come up with things they hadn't cooked before or different takes on the ingredients very entertaining.

[honeybeesfriend]

whoever decided to put beth and frank in one video? you are a blessing and i hope both the sides of your pillow are cold throughout the night :))

[VerhoevenSimon]

Always a treat when these two swap ingredients.
