6 Surprising Food Pairings Tested By Pro Chefs | Chef Notes | Bon Appétit

[CzechMate]

Chris really panicked about putting cream cheese on a bagel LOL

[cignature]

Chris hypes his up so hard and then it was so tame lmaooo

[MrAilsaAng]

literally dying at Chris overreacting at cream cheese w a bagel

[yas]

Chris : In case you didn't notice. I'm weird. I'm a weirdo. I don't fit in. And Don't I want to fit in.

[evildaemo]

The weirdest thing in this video is the way the bagel was cut

[DinosourousRexx]

Rawlston and Samantha are adorable together, they just have wholesome vibes

[dracopinkish]

No forget everyone, I need a show with uncle Harold and Brad. They play off each other so well and it's actually scary how awesome they are together. Please make it happen

[barbicoh]

BRAD AND HAROLD NEED TO DO MORE SHOWS TOGETHER. I remember Harold contacting Brad about a gig in BA so they're obviously friends.

[gab.lab.martins]

Chris’ and Susan’s ideas are so ridiculously normal. “Wooow, mild cheese, olive oil and chile flakes, who would come up with that?”, the Italians would.

[g.bragion]

Surprising Food Pairings: ""Avocado with condensed milk""
Me, a Brazillian, with literally an avocado, a spoon, and a condensed milk can in front of me: oh... ok.

[TheThoagland]

Wait until Chris finds out about everything bagels.

[anab]

Given how taste sensitive Chris is (with the reverse engineering and tini bites when trying food) that he would read so much into raisins and scallions as a flavor combo makes sense.

[zacheymczachface]

I may have not watched for a while but Brad is looking real fit, mad props to him

[danebeisheim]

Brad and Harold are rhe dynamic duo we didn't know we needed.

[pooka]

Chris did not understand the assignment

[artfulcookingwithdawn]

Harold's pairing makes perfect sense to me... grew up in the islands with a mango "tree house" out back... there was NOTHING better than putting seasoned salt on an unripe green mango. Got in trouble with our moms constantly because we ate so much of it we'd have major stomach aches later!!!

[christophernguyen]

Chris: It’s super freaky!!
Me: Bro it looks like something I wouldn’t bat an eye at like I would eat this combo happily.

[UncleBuckDallas]

Yo Chris wtf dude, I can’t tell if this was satire or not. Its like you’ve never been in a bagel shop.

[piodo]

Avocado and condense milk is a very common pairing in some parts of Asia. My grandparents, who are Vietnamese, would always mix and serve the two ingredients for me to eat and it”s so tasty! ☺️

[josephmckenna]

This finally feels like a return to form. The best parts of the test kitchen was everyone together. 💖
