4 Levels of Mac and Cheese: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious - Розваги
Level 2 chef looks like the type of guy to read terms and conditions
Meesa Pineapple he’s a daddy oml
Second time I’ve read this on this same channel.
😂😂
That's the best comment I've ever heard 😂😂
We get it a 90% white guy
level 0 chef: “and today we grab out our microwave”
Dude I wish they would add a level zero. That would be great😂
it would be fun to see someone just absolutely no f**king clue what they’re doing
today we go to chick fil a to get our macaroni and cheese
Epicurious: "Where is our Level 0 chef?" 🤔
Me: "Still at Popeye's waiting in line." 🙄
Kynneddi Lee honestly me
Level 0 chef: Alright we'll add 1/4 cup of milk to our Kraft Mac n cheese.
Level -1 chef: and now after you boiled and drained your boxed shells, you cut the velveeta cheese open and pour it in
LOL
@@cleopatra1311 lol
That's me! Lol

I didn’t think anyone caught that lol you can tell he’s a little bit ocd...juuuuuuuuust a touch lol
R W I was your 300th like
He's an English Teacher
Hamoudy Harb he is?! Omg
Hamoudy Harb now do u know that?
This was the most confident and professional level 1 chef yet, like, she KNEW what she was doing. Honestly, I stan.
Level 2 chef: hi Stan I’m dad
Thescotslegend begone demon
I prefer Level ones like her
She added oil to the boiling water ... In which world someone who's adding oil to noodles knows what he do?
Nah she stingy with the cheese. All 3 of them can go in the trash
The level two guy is the type of dude to go to Dominican restaurant with his kids and say "are you kids ready to vamonos?"
Great comment
Imagine being offended by how someone looks.
@@gniepark4441 so if you don't like the way someone looks and they are in the same building as you, it's "awkward?" Maybe you need to get over yourself..
I’m crying this comment is too accurate
Bruh what the hell, did your parents teach you don’t judge a book by its cover
No one will probably see this comment to how late I am lol. I have made the level 3 chef recipe because I was curious and a bit stubborn to except that the flavors all go together. However, it has been the best Mac and Cheese I have ever made(according to myself and my family who are very picky themselves). The taste is so outrageously flavorful that it works. Please, I know many, many, people have complained about it, but how about you give it try first and then see how you feel about it? For those considering themselves a level 2(like myself) and loveeee to cook, don’t throw this amazing recipe away!!
Thank you Michael!:-))
Where did you find his recipe?
found it! Going to be trying this
@@foxsden3209 Where did you find it?
Noice
To be fair
The level 1 chef is the only chef that used *macaroni*
Macaroni sucks: edit dyslexia
Nikki Rasor same
Teaaaaa
Isn't macaroni the pasta itself? The type of pasta you are referring to are elbows but they alone are not macaroni. Any pasta used in this dish I think is considered macaroni.
@@patrykkuffel2679 No. The pastas used in this video were all of the macaroni variety, which are tube shaped, but it's not just any pasta that you use in the dish. For example, angel hair pasta isn't macaroni. You could still put cheese sauce on angel hair pasta, but that wouldn't make it macaroni and cheese.
Anyone frustrated with this series in that they don't have each of the level chefs taste the other chef's recipes?
True
True
I understand why they dont, each cook/chef segment probably isnt the same day.
@@artypyrec4186 yep, same studio, different days
Thomas Alder not me
I could've easily been convinced that Anthony is the level 3 chef, learned so much from him!
Everyone is choosing to completely omit the fact that the Level 3 chef also added smoked bacon and pepper to his crumb topping, instead choosing to only focus on the sweet things he added to it.
Honestly, he was probably going for a savory spicy-sweetness with that crumb topping.
He said that’s what he was going for. And he added sweetness to the sauce too, not just the toppings.
It’s probably tastes good, but I do not want a sweet Mac and cheese. I don’t even want a spicy Mac and cheese. I want _macaroni_ and _cheese_ , if I wanted graham crackers I’d eat them for desert.
Maybe we should just accept the fact that not all people here will understand the balancing of flavors 😆 some may be watching but not really into cooking so they wouldn’t think about it and just stick to what they prefer and what is usual
Honestly I think his sounds delicious … I would eat all of them tbh xD
Level 1 chef didn't seem level 1
Level 2 is unable to blink
Level 3 is high asf
High like a kite
Most of the time the level 1 feels like a level 0. This was a good change of pace.
addmadodda3 thats kinda rude on the level 3 maybe he had a bad day
You my friend are a genuis
She just needed to brown it a bit more and it’d be pretty good visually
I am a level 4 chef. I taught the noodles to cook themselves, and I boil water with my mind.
TEACH ME YOUR WAYS OH CHOSEN ONE
level 5 chef: i created my own quarks and leptons using a process i like to call singularity.
Keith Stouch III no your a level 3000 chef
@@r1pd33b0 yo, I swear you were on another video! these comments including yours had me dead laughing, especially on your other comment where at the end it said, "i am god." 🤣 yeah, I'm sure he would be a GREAT chef.
I burnt instant ramen....yeah let's just say I forgot the water
I love how even with the very different levels of expertise, each one of them clearly has a lot of love and passion for the work they did.
I am a level 6 chef. I thought the ingredients into existance and added flavor by touching it. I grated the cheese with my elbow to give it extra flavor and instantaneously boiled it with air in an air pan.
The macaroni got more spirally as the levels went up lol
They didn’t use noodles in this video at all.
Apple Pi u mean spaghetti
quirpy did you mean twisted? ;-;
Springtime Sally
No,spirally
Apple Pi Macaroni is a type of noodle..... they’re called macaroni noodles.... Smartass
Level 1 might not know what she's doing as well, but the "might as well just cover the whole thing with cheese" line made me fall in love. That's the kind of philosophy I want when someone is making mac.
Ikr
Martin Greene wasn’t that bad tbh
what really got me is that the cheese on top is SO much better if u just turn the broiler on for a couple minutes at the end!! then the cheese gives the whole dish at least a little texture and color
Why don't they do blind taste test?
There's much to be said for simplicity - sometimes, you can do too much. A good Mac and Cheese doesn't need much to be good. For me, Ada's would be the one I'd choose. Nice job, Ada!! :)
hers is classic :)
I think the panko is really needed, Anthony is my favorite
You are just playing devils advocate. Her's looked normal but not appealing. It wouldn't be the best mac and cheese someone has ever tasted.
Litterally no you wouldnt your just being nice bc shes the worst
@@Kuyare.no one eats pasta and cheese with breadcrumbs, you’re just saying that the expert is better because he’s the highest “level” 🤣🤣
I love it when all three chefs are very pleased with their results!
you should have them taste each other's and give their opinions on each others
Nobody:
Level 2 chef: *Every last drop*
Bruh I was thinking the same thing
Yeaaaa
Ya
It would get so hostile, so quickly. Imagine pouring your heart and soul into a dish, just for a stranger to tell you its trash.
Level 1: Does something
Level 2: Don’t do that
Level 3: Creates a whole new law of chemistry
Level 4: this help for crunch
Level 4 and this is how you make a new universe
@@eugenenkurunziza2897 level 4= Stan lee
Again: Level 100: Mafia boss
Grandma: Explains the physics of a wormhole and explains the probability of a black hole that will rain Mac and cheese
I love how all the results are delicious and they all are really happy cooking.
Level 2 Chef: "I'm italian"
Also Level 2 Chef: "Mascarpounnn"
Who else is surprised that the level 3 chef didn’t make his own pasta for the mac n cheese
Me
Nah thats only frank. Mans makes his own kitchen before cooking
In my experience certain shapes of pasta are a lot harder to make at home
🙀🍝😹🙀🍝😹🙀🍝😹🙀🍝😹🙀🍝😹🙀🍝😹
H0RD4K-SK3LET0R MUMM'R4-MEG4TR0N, Is english a joke to you?
Bet that Level 2 guy's bedtime is 9:00pm, but he lives that thug life and goes to sleep at 9:01pm.
Stooopid 😂😂😂
damn it feels good to be a gangsta 😎😌
He is definitely the dad who tells those bad dad jokes
Underated
な6IXLXRD yo check your like count. That’s a demonic number
I'm so happy to see a level 3 that does not take 36 hours with 100$++ worth of ingredients. I now want to try this one!
I feel like Ada needed more sauce to make it more creamy, like the Food Scientist said, it likely didn't cover every part of it.
Other than that, and perhaps putting butter in before her seasoning, she did a good job.
Level 3: expert putting garlic and sugar
Level 2: home cook putting a variety of cheeses
Level 1: amateur making them regular
Level 0: *me reading the box instructions*
Level -1 I present to you, nothing
So me
big mood
hey velveta box mac can be miles better than some professionally made mac. it just depends on how the "pro" does it.
@@z80ad85 level: -2 I present to you burnt spaghetti
when are y’all going to start making them try each other’s plates thoughhhhhhh
It seems like a no brainer so I assume it's an issue where they don't get them all on set at the same time or even day.
Better than the food scientist
iamsandyocean I thought the same ! But girl your soo pretty 💓💓💓😍😍😍 OMG !!!!! 🤯
Worldcitizenxxl IG Thank you, too kind! 🥰
right this is my first time seeing a video like this and Im surprised they didnt taste each others food or have the food scientist test taste????
I love how every time the chefs look happy
"We don't have to put the ingredients in in any particular order. Let's go with alphabetical." MY MAN!
Y'all, that level 3 chef had his burner set to 420. His entire recipe makes so much more sense now.
Dudes eyes say it all
@@jeffreysalvador7076 👀
Your likes are 4-69
InsolubleToaster ugh...
Stoners favorite mac
She’s the best level 1 chef I’ve seen! I’d actually eat her food, instead of *turkey salad taco*
Gianna Gerster only thing I would’ve done different was leave it in the oven for a little more time
SHIZZAAAAAA
Nah, Emily is. Her ketchup and french toast combo is unstoppable.
I think it's Emily
@@giannagerster4431 that's...kinda racist
I LOVE level 3s. Such an interesting combination of flavours. The sweet goes well with the saltiness of the bacon. I wish he would come back.
I think level 3 knows what he's doing but I can see why some people would be put off by the topping. If he didn't add it, I feel like more people would agree that the level 3 cheese mixture looked the most flavorful and delicious
Every Italian American's favourite thing to do is tell you about their heritage even if the closest to Italy they have been is Olive Garden.
i know a guy thats quarter itilian and calls himself a snow guido lol dudes born and raised in canada hahaha closest hes been to italy is his grandfathers pasta
I'm Italian and I hate when an Italian American talks about Italian kitchen. I mean it's not just parmigiano reggiano cheese, pasta and tomato sause, there is so much more. Italy has 20 regions with 20 different stories ana different cultural influences, so Italian kitchen is a very huuuuge subject. Plus not all the italians outthrre are good chefs. So please, stop it
Maliha Intikhab 😂🤣😂
?????
It's so annoying cuz 80% of the time these ppl are have 15% Italian in them
Y'all need a level 5:Southern Grandma
@Jacorey Webb yes
fr
@Jacorey Webb Beth is like A northern grandma
With some New Orleans jazz band
n3l3sh but shes still a level 5
this is my comfort youtube video, I come back every 1-4 weeks its just so satisfying. I've watched it so many times but I never watched the level 4 part cause its boring lol
How is science boring? I’m watching the science parts because I’m planning to open a café if I ever get the money. So I need to know these things so that I can make things that my customers will enjoy.
These videos are my favourite to watch when I’m cooked at 2am
nobody:
2: we're gonna add in the cheese in alphabetical order
😂😂
Such a punchable face.
Marge Wright cause why not
Total creep.
transition lenses That’s what I think about all of the level 2s, they do nothing wrong but their egos are so high, and they are sooo irritating omg don’t get me started
me, a level 0 chef:
"so first we start off by opening the box of kraft dinner"
(after analysis) "Brielle's cheese was....well it was powder"
Level .5: "so I bought this Velveeta last Wednesday.."
-1 chef: Sooooo I got these Mac and cheese cups -
This is legit the only way I know how to make mac n cheese 😂😂😂😂
This is gross and you should not eat that. No human or animal should ever eat that disgusting powder.
I'd say I'm a level 2 in terms of mac and cheese. Been learning and getting better, thinking about the methods and cheeses I use.
Just a personal opinion when it comes to Mac & Cheese… use conchiglie (shells/seashells) pasta. It holds cheese so well. Every bite is a burst of goodness.
Can't think of any objective reason this wouldn't work, but it definitely doesn't fit either the Anglophone or the Italian definition of "mac"!
All level 0 chefs would start by opening a box of kraft
yaassss today i ate for lunch mac and cheese 😂😂 from the Kraft box I bought earlier at Walmart
Level 0 means no cooking skill!
Level 0 buys their food.
I am a level 0 chef
Joshua Poulin level -1 chefs get it from a buffet
LMAO RIGHTTTT😂
So Basically:
Level 1: I adapted this recipe from a box
Level 2: I learned this in Italy
Level 3: God whispered this to me in church
BTW I mean the all important god of pasta, the flying spaghetti monster

level 4: i am the macaroni

So I was really intrigued by the level 3 chefs recipe, so I set myself on replicating it since it’s a pretty simple recipe all things considered.
It was so freaking good. The topping had more of an impact than the standard bread crumb, and actually felt like it had a purpose, but the cheese was not lost. It was a lot of cheese and kinda pricey, but it was so freaking worth it.
I’m not gonna make it every time I want Mac and Cheese, but I will definitely treat myself occasionally, and will take it to potlucks.
Edit: The recipe in the description is definitely borked when it comes to the spices. It’s balanced for roughly 8-10 portions I’d say. I skipped the add water step since it wasn’t in the video and moved the decimal one space left for the spices, so 5.4 grams of Mustard for example. Worked fine for me.
Found the level 3 chef dude
Wow. Someone who actually tries making something instead of "OmG! Is ThAt MaC aNd ChEeSecAkE?! eW!" Good on ya, mate.
I also plan on replicating this one soon it's very intriguing indeed :)
This kind of comment deserve tons of likes
Cody O. Would you be able to share the exact recipe you made since it worked for you?
4 years later and that Mac & cheese with streusel topping is still my fav 😍 making it tonight.
Ive made it 3 times and all 3 times it tasted heavily like pepper and mustard. Do you get the same?
Level 0: So here we have our Kraft Mac 'n Cheese
What I got from the thumbnail
Level 1: popcorn
Level 2 : maybe like a shepherds pie
Level 3: apple crumble

SeñorSteven Maybe as far as food scientists go, but as far as I’m concerned none of them are worth my sweet sweet watch time
You're missing out.
I used my own twist on Michaels recipe and took it too a family dinner and everyone LOVED IT! It was soo good!!
The only thing that brings me to tears about this channel, is how nobody tries the cooking. Let me get a reaction to how amazing these all look! 😭
level 1: "ok"
level 2: "oh fancy"
level 3: "too fancy, go back!"
🤣🤣🤣🤚
Lol level 1 and 2 is enough level 3 is to much
It’s like they think if u have more ingredients and make it more expensive it will taste better I’m sorry but I hate bacon and don’t want graham crackers in my Mac and cheese 😂
@@alexmapes5923 did you say you hate bacon🧐
@@scoot3249 ya you heard me 😂
Level 1: I stole cheese from my parents fridge
Level 2: I bought some cheese
Level 3: I bought a cow just to milk it to make my own cheese
@@Boykofan yup that's his name
Lol
pneumoniaultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis lol why is ur name so long :0
Level 4: I am the cheese
Level 99 : "I AM THE COW"
Level 1 sounds awesome honestly..way better than a box mac n cheese! And personally I don't like the extra bready toppings. Though I'd probably add bacon and cayenne and other random stuff like sunflower seeds but maybe I'm just weird 😅 (also I'd broil the top a bit to get crispy brown cheese bits). Omg I need to make this now!
I think the one I would LUUUUUUUUV to try is thee one that Level 2 guy did. That looked... Amaiziiiiiiing ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love how the 2nd guy looked so happy, and passionate about cooking,
Maybe because he is italian and passionate with pasta? Lol
I actually thought he came off a little intense and a teensy creepy

Me too,
I just like to watch them cook lol
Sina Forghani no i like it, very informative ;)
Not me.
Me lol
Sina Forghani yess
The foley guys went absolutely crazy on this episode
I actually did a combination of all three.
I used cavatappi like level 2, used mozzarella and cheddar like level 3, cooked on a glass dish like level 1 and topped with Graham crackers and bacon like level 3 and it turned out absolutely delicious
Everyone already knows exactly what Emily's recipe would be, from a box finished with ketchup. That's her magic.
She'd probably burn it too
Who's Emily?
Poorva Kulkarni another lvl 1 chef, watch french toast video
Ketchup does not belong anywhere near macaroni and cheese
I use to eat that as a kid. One time I woke up I threw up after that I stopped. I had a stomach bug for the whole day. Not due to the Mac n Cheese with ketchup but I guess it kinda ruined it for me
1st of all: which MF in the editing room added all those squishing noises.
2nd: the level 3 dude just made mac and cheesecake with the Gramm crackers, sugar, egg, and bacon
Yeah im not ok with his topping
1st: “that’s what good pu**y sounds like”
That’s what good coochie sounds like ok
I actually made the level 3 mac n cheese the other day and it was wicked good.
@@beautifulday3975 good ol' vine reference
Even though it didn't look super perfect, I loved Ada's Mac and Cheese the most simply because of the joy she displayed while making and tasting it
3:20 *Every last drop*
I like it. No wasting. 👍🏻
Level 3 added scallions on top as if he didn't make a goddamn cheesecake with noodles
Bruh
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im DEAD!
YOU WIN
@Alden Yu not everyone is super extra with their mac n cheese
@Alden Yu my dad's a professional chef and i grew up cooking every night, but thanks for trying!
Kriositivity it’s fancy and extra as hell
He literally added actual cream cheese
Level 1: Actual Mac and Cheese but it’s simple
Level 2: fAnCy ChEeSe UwU
Level 3: I use gourmet water and grow my own macaroni
It triggers me about how you say OwO
You don't grow macaroni😂
@@aidanmoran4471 that's the joke
@@jaredmorales3634 No, the joke was that the chef was extra
Aidan Moran yeah but that was proving that the chef was extra lmao
I am glad that you pointed out the 3 types of mac and cheese, but which one has the best flavor.
"Might as well just cover the whole thing with cheese" THAT'S THE SPIRIT😍😍😍
I've noticed that some "Pro Chefs" just can't leave anything simple
Probably because they recognize that complex flavours usually taste better? There's nothing wrong with just keeping it basic, but basic things like adding texture and contrasting flavors really make a difference. It's like adding some salt to the top of a chocolate chip cookie - it really enhances and brings out the sweet flavor of the chocolate and the cookie.
@@paradoxdriver4094 bruh, he added brown sugar and graham crackers to Mac & Cheese, Mac & Cheese can have complex flavors but it still needs to stay simple.
@@paradoxdriver4094 it's mac and cheese, it doesn't need help. Some contrast is fine but it doesn't need a bacon cake on top of it at all, especially topped with scallions. Wtf. It might not be bad but it is 100% unnecessary and extra
They didn't gather all that info to bore themselves lol
The point of being a pro chef is to make things complex
Finally, a level 1 chef/recipe where I didn’t have to cringe.
Oil went into the pot instant fail.
Level two is the most cringe
*flashbacks to the ketchup and emily*
I definitely cringed
She said monster cheese
Seems like such a simple dish, but I still haven't mastered homemade Mac and cheese, and it's become my cooking quest. I may try a few of these methods.
The bizarre added sound effects when they're mixing, adding spices and such is awful and I hate it
Kinda expected the level 3 chef would add lobster or crab not make a full on mac and cheesecake 😭😭😂
I'm dead lol 🥀💀
That’s the black recipe for Mac n cheese
@@camilylove Really? I am not use to mac and cheese with a dessert/sweet aspect to it. I definitely made a face when he said bacon and graham cracker topping.
With bacon
Mac and cheesecake 🤣🤣🤣

I loved Ada's recipe
but it's MIDNIGHT!! Why am i watching this instead of sleeping!!
When I make macaroni and cheese, I use cheddar, bleu cheese and either Parmesan or pecorino Romano. Nutmeg is a must. I also like adding vegetables to it (usually peas and chopped jalapeño peppers). I made one for Thanksgiving this year and used buttermilk and a little heavy cream. SOOOO good.
All of these looked really good, although I don't like American cheese.
Editor: where should we put the liquid effects at?
Director: anywhere where there probably wouldn’t be sounds in real life
Derpy_ Unicorn it made me cringe so bad
Copying a older comment.
Nobody:
Every American with Italian heritage: I'm Italian and I'm gonna tell you about it
@MidnightFlower13 yes spread the knowledge....
never heard about this, i always thought they are italian...
have you ever heard about the german and french minorities living in Italy? No? -> spread the news (y) 😂😂😂
@MidnightFlower13 not really😅
MidnightFlower13 whom announces that they’re black
Extra Cheese, Extra Chromosomes.. I’m Italian, Baby!
Well I can say that's relatable
I love the corner pieces of a baked mac-n-cheese because they tend to have a slightly leathery texture. I like that chewiness. To accentuate this I use cast iron, buttered, and on the stove on medium heat as I pour in the noodle-cheese mixture. I let this sizzle for maybe 5 minutes, on the stove on medium heat. This starts the leathery texture on the bottom and sides. I then bake it like normal. You get a browned, chewy texture on the bottom and sides. Glass dishes don't seem to achieve this level of leatheriness.
level 0: So we gonna grab this Kraft dinner box right here...
Michael - "This recipe was inspired by my grandma."
Michael's Grandma - "Don't lie to these people chile. I've never done anything to 'inspire' you to put some d*mn graham crackers in mac & cheese."
I was pissed with the Vanilla Extract.
Exactly where not making pie or cheese cake get rid of the graham crackers
I'm weak at how accurate that sounds, and I don't even know his grandma 😂😂😂
When he added graham crackers & vanilla extract....😷
But...did you TRY it?
Are the level 2 chef's always gunning for their own cooking show? They're always so excited and want to be informative
Unfortunately I'm a classic level 2 cook: home cook, lots of experience, bit of a food snob...we are insufferable at times!!!!
He took the advice of not trying to turn his hobby into his job. He loves being a home cook and sharing his food with others, but not to the point that he is at level 3 and lives the exhausting life of an executive chef who seems to have made this mac and cheese 500 times.
home chefs watch a lot of videos and recipes of other home chefs, since cooking is a big hobby (and they all remind me of my dad). They all seem really excited to share their cooking with people who aren't their families lol
I liked him! He was very excited about his mac and cheese. It’s cute.
The difference between a hobbyist and a professional is that the hobbyist is always a little excited about stuff lol
I like the 1st (Home one)
Looks great 😋
My cheese mix is cream cheese (treated almost like the butter for the roux (hope I used the right word)) then the shredded cheese is cheddar mostly but also (grated smaller) smoked gouda and parmigiana for the salt. The parmigiana is also mixed into the panko crust. I also use whole milk and butter in the roux. While I would add pepper, I can’t due to my mom’s allergies. I would love to, just can’t. We also use a ceramic gratin dish. If I feel fancy I might start my roux for the cheese sauce with bacon grease (later adding the bacon I made the grease with back into the Mac n cheese). I only do this for the flavor though. Yeah it’s a really rich dish. I would love to add some veggies too but can’t due to preferences of other people (pointed stare at said family member) and given that baked mac n cheese is a family shared type of dish….kinda gotta cater.
I love how, although her mac n cheese may not look as appealing when compared side by side by side, Ada is super pleased with her end result.
that at the end of the day is really all that matters
That’s the best part of cooking, the gratitude
I loved hers the best though.
When I think Mac and cheese, what I picture looks like hers
Out of all these, hers looks the closest to what my mom (Italian) used to make. If I'm making Mac, I'm probably taking her recipe.
the level 2’s mac and cheese is one i would eat any day tbh
I would eat him thb
@@iogames9024 THATS HOT
He seems like he’s about to snap at any moment
his mac and cheese may be good but it’s gay by extension
@@Michael-lc8yl Never seen rainbow mac and cheese? Taste the rainbow - it's creamy, gooey, and salty.
This is one of the level 1 chefs who know what their doing and aren’t lazy cuz I was expecting box cheese sauce at this point
Tip to try if you can't buy or afford panko/ crumb topping: try crushed up crisps on top. Just put less salt in your recipe to compensate (because the salt comes from the cheese, you can compensate by adding creme fraiche or even a plain yoghurt to balance the creaminess you want but reduce the salt content in the sauce, overall).
Level 1 chef: exists

Level 3 chef: “SO I LIKE TO MAKE MY OWN COW EVERY MORNING AT 4AM.”
LMAO
Hey u copied someone
DANG BOU WHO GAVE ME 25 LIKES? THATS ALOT!
Jesus christ I've seen this comment a million times
Daniel Warsick exactly I just hate that joke now
Daniel Warsick same
Okay I’m going to try and make chef 1’s recipe tomorrow 😋
3:04 that "Smells amazi-i-ing" was so melodic, made my hour
5:23 also
The level 3 schef is actually making a cake, gram crakers, vanilla, sugar...
No he isn’t. It’s not a cake, it’s macaroni and cheese.
Oh, someone don't know what humor is
MeeM Pootis MeeM I know jokes, this joke was harder to recognize.
This chef is so good he makes us believe that he is making Mac 'n cheese, when he is actually making a cake
Tommy Ryan r/itswhooooshwithfouros
"y'know, I might as well cover the whole thing with cheese"
That's the way I like it, Ada's one is the best
IMHO she didn't use anywhere near enough cheese. Did it look good? Yes, would I eat it? Of course, but I would have added a bunch more cheese.
@@Bigheadedwonthere's no such thing as to much cheese so add a load
Pshh imo ada had the worst looking mac n cheese
Hell naw tf
@Low key bruh ada mac looked super dry and nothing special about it at all. I think level 3 was the best maybe a little less crumble and sweetness on top.
No matter what label, you're guaranteed to have a clean plate with all three. All three are fantastic in their own ways
Rose, THANK YOU FOR PRONOUNCING THE CHEESE NAMES CORRECTLY!
