4 Levels of Fettuccine Alfredo: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

[kaspas]

Bro my favourite thing in this is when someone says something, and a higher chef says the opposite

[hansf.]

Frank : makes pasta
Julie : uses fresh pasta
Steven: disses on olive garden

[DizzyedUpGirl]

I love that Stephen's innovation comes from being absolutely perturbed by high prices of easy to make meals.

[angusdurham]

I love that stephen always has some story from his life relating to the dish. Like how he puts broccoli in his nachos because the store by his house started selling broccoli really cheap

[Saniya-ghij]

level 1 chef: add chesse in pasta
level 3 chef: add pasta in cheese

[cucumber]

Frank's pasta was probably the expensive pasta that Steven was complaning about

[zoyfattay]

Stephen is an amateur chef but a professional human

[pearlkohler]

“I didn’t say anything about butter”

“I got this nutmeg smuggled in from Jamaica”

Julie is a national treasure

[mollyhorrell]

The chefs should start trying each other’s dishes

[sharkkie]

I love how they edit. The way they contradict the other person.

[savannah]

“Let it boil like my blood when people criticize my fettuccine”
“Make it all nice and pretty, like myself”
“I think I put too much pepper because m- *cough* *cough* “

[flavorfulfrenchfoodie]

Steven: "You guys should have a Pre-K, cause I'm not even Level 1."
Also Steven: "Creeping on Level 2 territory."

[nasirmoore]

Level 1s are stepping their game up. No more half cheesecakes

[RedDuke]

Stephen: "Creeping on Level 2 territory right now"


genius

[natsukikanzaki]

"It doesn't take a lot of ingredients"
*takes out an entire cheese wheel*

[rifto]

I love Stephen's confidence, even though he knows he's a level 1 chef.

[godmasterultima]

Everybody gangsta till the chef takes out his cheese wheel

[adriannaa]

Honestly this amatuer chief was a mood for all the cheap people out there lmao

[dootdoot]

What I really like about this series is we’re never told that one chef’s way is “right” & the others are “wrong”, they’re all different ways to cook that require different techniques but still yield delicious food

[MrJreed]

I was hyped cause I really thought I would be able to make a level 3 dish finally
Make fresh pasta ✔

Mixed pasta in giant monster truck tire sized cheese block🤔
