$112 vs $14 Loaded Waffles: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Professional baker Bill Clark and home cook Daniel are swapping ingredients and hitting the kitchen to have a crack at each other's loaded waffle recipe. We set Daniel up with $112 worth of supplies - everything he’d need to make Bill’s marbled pumpernickel waffles with citrus-cured salmon and homemade cream cheese. Meanwhile, a more modest $14 worth of ingredients was sent back the other way for Bill to elevate into something gourmet. As is customary, food scientist Rose dialed in for a conference call to answer some questions Daniel had along the way. Alright, no more waffling: which one of these loaded waffles looks best to you?

I don't think any chef has elevated a dish as much as Bill elevated this Strawberry Waffle. It's actually unreal how good that looks.

The expensive ones are nice but I love what the chefs do with the cheaper Ingredients it is nice to see that.

"What did I possibly give you that could make custard?" "Eggs, milk, maple." Daniel looked like his world just expanded. This was a great chef pairing.

Seeing Daniel going from the guy people hate because of his blueberry grilled cheese to fan favorite is the redemption arc we need these days.

[alecplata]

Can we all agree that Chef bill actually uses technique to enhance a dish and not just add ingredients?

[sonjal]

I can’t believe chef Bill used the ingredients given. That looks beautiful

[KaithOEX]

i wish you guys would do a pro chef swaps with pro chef just to see if they do it differently,

[salutations]

“It’s okay if you don’t have one of these at home, neither do I” 😂😂

Yess, , , finally .... i'm here to see Daniel. Cz I like his personality. He's adorable, charming, funny, and positive. And also i like that he did this episode with chef Bill. It's like a perfect combo.

Daniel celebrated cracking those eggs like Tom Hanks making fire in "Castaway."

[alphasoatta]

I see Daniel. I click. Just adore this man. Love his positive, fun vibes

[anali]

Chef Bill needs a youtube channel... WE NEED a Chef Bill's youtube channel...

[TheGreatWerebear]

I love that the chef didn't add anything in order to take the strawberry waffles to the next level. He just worked with what he was given.

[poodleprince]

I never knew I needed this combo... I'm shaking at their hotness, they both ✨sweet&savory✨

[ownertje]

The food both looks so good. The twist on the bagel is very cool

[Phaios]

I think I can fit them both in.


The waffles, of course. 👀

[glossaria]

Daniel's just crackin' eggs one-handed, livin' his best life! 😉👍

Chef Bill's waffles, though.... *fans self*

[athenea]

I’m guessing the home chef guys name is Daniel based off these comments?? He is such a joy to watch his enthusiasm is genuinely contagious. Plus he has a gorgeous voice wtf

[the-regularguy]

pretty sure every level 3 chef has been crushiing it but chef bill well he made that look and feel on a completely different level. i am pretty sure noby has elevated any dish with as little ingredients as much and i find it weird that apart from that dehydrator everythhing is achieveable by someone who can make deserts.

[Deer_God]

Chef Bill and Daniel are the pair I never knew I needed
