$101 vs $8 Omelet: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Expert chef Frank from the Institute of Culinary Education and home cook Emily are swapping materials and hoping for the best! We gave ketchup ambassador Emily $101 worth of ingredients and Frank's recipe notebook, then asked her to recreate his omelet as best she could. To lend a helping hand, food scientist Rose dialed in for a brief tutorial and pep talk. On the other side, Frank received a meager $8 worth of supplies and tried to improvise his way up to gourmet. Who’s got the huevos to succeed under these mixed up circumstances?

They're both so charismatic and adorable, such a wholesome show

[angrybird]

Emily and Frank in an episode together is a blessing

[tommymaddox]

I can tell Frank has read and embraced the comments about him, like SaltMaster. What a legend

[glaciaswasthebestwebcomic]

Frank: you never hit you egg on the side of the bowl

Emily: **BASHING EGG ON THE SIDE OF THE BOWL**

[sirniigil]

I love Emily so much. She's literally all of us normal people who cook at home. But Frank is a dang good man because he always compliments people for attempting his insanely hard tricks and techniques. Frank and Emily need their own show, where Frank turns Emily into a Master Chef using normal people ingedients, such as Emily's favorite, ketchup.

"Before there were a lot of known unknowns but also unknown unknowns, and now that I know that I don't know, I'm concerned that there are a lot of unknowns but at least I've known them"(5:25)
I-
I've never related to anything else in my life this much, this is legit me when I'm trying to fill up my essay.

I was missing Frank so much, he just spent the last 6 months farming chickens for his eggs

[wtfpwnzred]

Emily, I'm so proud of you. Everybody's favorite monster has graduated to home cook.

“I’m just a normal guy” says Frank as he slowly massages his Portuguese hens for maximum oval shape of their eggs...

[abelmadeit]

Im surprised that everything in Frank's kitchen wasn't hand crafted by Frank himself

[YGFU]

Frank is such a wholesome person.. and Emily is just a mass of cheerfully good Mood. These 2 are so adorable :D
Damn Emily did an amazing Job with the Omelette! Cooking french Omelette right is not an easy Task and even many Chefs fail to do it as well as Emily did. A few more tries to get the folding process right and she should be able to make a perfect French Omelette. Iam really impressed.

[CoolAsFreya]

I love how they still maintain the illusion of tossing the recipe book and swapping ingredients as if they were next to eachother

[KimbiW]

Frank: "I'm just a normal person." Good one. trying to throw us off, man.

[anis]

When Frank fed his wife who's behind the camera, that was so sweet! His wife is so lucky ! Emily seems like a really fun person to hangout with, I like her positive energy haha

[belliott]

Hey, Frank might be a rich guy, but he’s a cool rich guy. Anyone with that much money willing to massage their own hens sounds like a passionate, hard-worker to me. He’s also really sweet and positive. That’s RARE for a Chef of his caliber.

[diegolippi]

Emily going from level 1 chef to level 2 is the character development we all needed

[dangabopopat]

Frank was so surprised to see Emily's omelette. Seriously, he was expecting her to burn it or tons of ketchup on the plate.

This video was amazing, thanks Frank and Emily for keeping us entertained and happy during lockdown.

[merebronkmonnk]

When you realize you have the same apple cider vinegar as Frank: "Ah, yes, I am master chef"

[MonsieurButter]

Frank: “I’m just a normal person”
Also Frank: $100 omelet

[zachweitz]

Frank “Now we plate the omelette”

*heads to his potters wheel to make a plate”
