  • Pro chef Saúl Montiel from Cantina Rooftop and home cook Joe are swapping recipes and hitting the kitchen to make some chili. We provided Joe with all the ingredients necessary to make chef Saúl’s over-the-top $335 chili recipe, sending only $18 worth of materials back the other direction. Will Saúl elevate Joe’s more modest materials into something gourmet? Can Joe keep up with the demands of Saúl’s recipe? Which one looks better to you?
    Keep up with chef Saúl on Instagram at @chefsaulmontiel and @CantinaRooftop

    "An acquired taste". Years ago, when I lived in the city of Campbell River, in BC Canada, I stopped at my local little store when walking home. One of the Vietnamese owners was standing by the till eating something from a jar. I asked what that might be, and he told me it was dried sate anchovies and offered me some while also telling me I probably wouldn't like it. I tasted it, told him that ya, it would be an acquired taste, and went home. By the time I got home, with the taste in my mouth, I found I had to go back as I had acquired the taste! Bought 2 jars!

      there just wasn't much of a reason for her, wonderful as she is. The extra step of "the chef won't tell them how to cook it so Rose appears to do it" just wasn't needed. Just let the chef explain to the camera as they go, a bit more organic experience. She's still in the other 4 levels videos.
