Loved that this pro chef used the ingredients she was given and went in different directions with them, rather than adding stuff like others have done. Thats how it should be done!
Yeah, I was looking in the list of ingredients whenever she do a step in the cooking process and there's no additional ingredients. She just used the ingredients to amplify other parts of the dish.
I'm usually ok with them adding basic seasonings and spices that anyone should have in their pantry, but when they go "well, I'm going to replace this piece of regular ham with this 300$ artisanal prosciutto imported straight from Italy that I just had lying around!" Is when they lose me haha
Ive been watching all these videos just to watch Chef Ester cook , the fact that she makes everything from scratch and doesn’t waste anything shows u how much she loves food and cooking .
@@Aiibh It just can't do fish or shrimp sauce, I'm sure it's fine but it sounds gross. Lol That was an amazing video though, she's extraordinarily talented! I went to culinary school but I bet I'd learn soo much more from her.
I love Ester's respect for all quality of ingredients. High end or affordable, it doesn't matter. She'll make the most of whatever is in front of her. She's so talented and respectable.
That’s part of her ethnicity, and how she was brought up in her family. I’m sure. Absolutely love it too. She’s just an absolute dream to watch every episode in a love how she doesn’t add extra things to every dish she just uses what’s provided other than spices
YAAASSS More of Esther, please!! We need more of the Pros being really creative with the provided ingredients rather than adding a bunch of stuff. It’s more educational and entertaining this way. Kudos to Chef Esther!
@@apollotheodore2560 Tbh I watch this because I find the pro and home chefs entertaining. Not because the chefs should be restricted to only the ingredients given
Esther is SO informative & confident in the kitchen. You can tell her expertise come from not only her technical training but also her family kitchen. And Lorenzo really enjoys himself in the kitchen! Such an entertaining duo! Loved this and I can't wait to try her cucumber kimchi recipe!
i like this duo. lorenzo's personality is so fitting for a show. and esther's execution and attitude to cooking is good too. they make a great combo. and the sandwiches look so goood.
The dynamic in this episode is amazing!! Chef Esther is having fun teaching, and Lorenzo is having fun learning... and impersonating MJ... and playing with a blowtorch...
I love this pairing! Lorenzo is a riot and Esther comes off super knowledgeable and I enjoy her Korean takes on the food! It’s good to learn about other cultures’ culinary tricks and foods
I love Esther, she’s great at using the given ingredients and taking every element of the sandwich to the next level, one of the best at doing this of all the chefs. I also loved the Asian inspiration for both chicken sandwiches, they looked amazing.
Seeing the professional make an outstanding dish with so little ingredients is amazing and the home cook always has a quote of the year exactly what a show needs
I’ve been binge watching this series and let me tell you I LOVE chef Esther! She is so creative and explains things in a simple way. More of her PLEASE!!!!
Lorenzo is a pro level of home cook. He made the beautiful milk bun and fried the chicken perfectly, etc.,etc. He's very proficient in cooking (of course).
Lorenzo is honestly one of my favorite people on earth. and Esther is kinda my hero. I really love how she...chefs up her side of the recipe without entirely changing what she's been given...but also she makes her recipes look doable. Like...I feel like I could do her version (not her 151 dollar version, but the version she chefs up) without blowing my wallet out. She's willing to come down to a level two to show that you can still make great food at a lower price and I appreciate that. Also, side note: i know I'm an adult, but can Lorenzo adopt me
These two were just a delight to watch! Lorenzo always has fun in the kitchen and embraces every challenge. Pro chef Esther is a true talent. I understand she is a professionally trained chef, but I am more than sure she learned a lot of her technique watching family cook in the kitchen when she was growing up. Love her organization! I do not enjoy cooking, but one thing I am glad my mom taught me was clean as you go! It really does make a world of difference when it's time to clean up the kitchen.
The best pro chef in this channel is Esther.🥰 I really like it the way she use ingredients to make the exact food, other than ruining it by making a whole different version of the food. Once in a video on cheese pasta a pro chef fried the freaking pasta. It looked fancy at the end but that wasn't what I was looking for
드디어 한국분이 나오시다니ㅠㅠ 익숙한 재료로 국뽕이 차오르면서 더 재미있게봤네요:) I really glad to see Korean chef in this channel:). all of ingredients are familiar with me so I felt proud and enjoyed more.
Two of my faves in 1 video! I love it!! Lorenzo is hysterical and is just really there for a good time & Esther is one of the best pro chefs. She stays true to the home cook’s ingredients
i love saul and frank on the 4 levels of food. but esther is amazing at these cook swap . she just makes you wonder what new thing shes going to create with the next batch of ingredients. she keeps it real and all you have to do is get the ingredients shes using and you have a video showing you what you need to do to make the meal shes making than your basic whatever you were gona make
@@ytho4426 In the video Lorenzo says "You're a thigh, why are you a thigh" Thigh sounds a lot like "Thai", which is the nationality of people from Thailand. So I made a pun on that
*pounding a chicken* Esther: I like to pretend this is someone's face that I hate. Person off camera: Who would that be? Esther: *stares into his soul* Wouldn't you like to know.
This is a great combination of personalities. I kind of wish that we’d gotten the opportunity to see more of their interactions at the end, but I’m not complaining!
Out of every home cook they decided to give Lorenzo a blow torch, kudos.
I can hear him laughing from here, and I know he's using the torch.
I hope he buys his own
@@chrono-glitchwaterlily8776 he will

I love it when the chefs do this. I think it shows a lot about their skills when they don't add anything new.
I think Epi implemented some rules on the pros to not add in things. I've noticed a lack of adding on things lately. Lol.

I feel Frank does a better job.He is simple as well as creative
I remember the ramen video where she made stock out of rotisserie chicken. That blew me away
Esther and Frank are my favorite chefs.
@@LOL-pb2if No. There are episodes where he adds stuff that aren’t from the ingredients. It’s kinda annoying and defeats the purpose of this series

Lorenzo playing with the blowtorch is the most lorenzo thing ever
"I LOVE THIS... I LOVE THIS... I AM A MAD SCIENTIST!!!"
*Krusty the Klown laugh intensifies*
Playing with fire literally
lorenzo is legit your far uncle whos the best at jokes and making people laugh
He reminds me of my scienece teacher, a girl who liked to play with fire
Me: "that chicken doesn't fit onto the bun"

That's when I fell in love

Cooking gives him joy, we can tell
That gives us joy too
He's the reason i started watching this channel bro 😂
I just wanna know how they remember exactly what Rosemary says(the instructions) bc I would assume it’s a lot of steps…

The joy is his sanity being drained.
I love how Esther's Recipe respected all the ingredients she used throughout the cooking, that red oil topping was a pleasant unexpected surprise.

Esther is an actual artist i love her 😭 can we make her make her own youtube channel?
She has a channel but doesn't upload so much anymore it's called choibites if you ever see this 💀

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!

I’m no great cook, so I love how Lorenzo can handle anything you throw at him.
She did double chicken. I’m in love. The chicken is the main thing.
I’ve been binge watching this series and let me tell you I LOVE chef Esther! She is so creative and explains things in a simple way. More of her PLEASE!!!!
Esther's technique/knowledge and Lorenzo's continuous childlike wonderment are both *chef's kiss*. I could myself to death on both sandwiches.
The fact that she said, “Good luck Lorenzo,” looks up and down, “you’re going to need it.”-
LOL meanwhile, he’s disgusted by the ingredients
@@majornija and yet the sandwhich she made with them makes my mouth water.
Lorenzo has been on this show so much he is now being upgraded to a professional chef haha. he is awesome!
I 100% agree
great love that definitely not disappointed at all

I like her. I mean, she is no Frank, obviousley, but she is a worthy "second most sympathic chef". Hope we'll see more from her.
I thought her performance on the cooking appliance/gadget reviews as lackluster.
Nah. She’s pretty boring
Saul/King are sending their regards
I find her interesting
I like the Spanish chef. He seems relatable
I really would love to just hangout with Lorenzo one day. His energy just always makes me happy and smile during these videos!!
Lorenzo just has such a happy and positive vibe, love it!
Always love Lorenzo being himself, and really enjoyed Chef Choi's attitude towards the food she's cooking.
The moment she topped the oversized schnitzel with another one - I fell in love.
Love you too, Lorenzo.
Lorenzo had pure evil in his eyes while he was blowtorching that mozzarella lmao

Whose bright idea was it to let Lorenzo use a blowtorch? You have created a monster!!
These videos are really fun to watch but I wish they would show the chefs trying each other's meals more often
When she said we should vision someone we're annoyed with having their face in the chicken was hilarious 😂 she's amazing

"Be gentle but fierce" it's truly a life lesson 😌💫
