    Some time they should do the swap with two pro chefs like Esther and Frank, or Palak, and see what they do with each other's absurd ingredients. They would probably be very happy getting to actually make something extravagant.

I made this mistake one time straining soup, wanted a broth as clear was water and i was like I'll just do it like the chefs at the restaraunt i worked at, and boom my soup tasted like april fresh downy with a hint of outdoor fresh bounce dryer sheets.

      And if we're being historically accurate, the Alfredo recipe, just like spaghetti & meatballs and chicken parm, was invented in America by Italian immigrants that then found its way back to Italy. But becuase it is a food that could have existed before the establishment of the Atlantic trade route it feels like it has more history to it than it really does.

      It totally would depend on how one would use that , the principal of coating cheese on a pasta wheel is by adding alcohol and setting it aflame so that the cheese melts. So more the flame more cheese irrespective of your pasta's portion, you can use it till you reach the last few inches of the wheel cause below that is a layer of wax. Hope this helps

      Honestly, italian pasta is just average in taste. When I went to Italy I was SO disappointed cause even though I went to expensive pasta restaurants, the flavor just wasn't there and the sauces were really watery. The only thing I liked were the pizzas and desserts. I would say even american pasta tastes WAY better.

    I love this series. But I can't help but wish that I could see the masterpiece that Frank had in mind when he sourced his ingredients.

    Frank is insane and I love it. He seems like the kind of guy who'd turn something as simple as a glass of water into a 200 step science experiment just to see what he can create. I can already imagine.. "Step 1: Pack up ice axe fly to Antarctica to harvest some pure glacier ice.."

    Counting the whole cheese wheel into the overall price is like serving a cheeseburger on a supercar and saying that the burger costs 1 million dollars

      It did cost you 1 mil for the car so who's *really* lying?

      well technically they need to use the entire wheel to mix the pasta

      Cheese wheel pasta is actually a thing, so they kinda need the whole wheel.

      I think it's fine for this dish in particular, what I think is cheating is when they pair something with like a gold diamond studded spoon you can keep, or a bottle of champagne that doubles the price

    Emily - *clutches her head* "Frank!" "Am I putting this in the wheel?" She's become too good at this. It's time to level her up.

    Sweet! I was wondering what to do with that 80lb wheel of parmesan in my fridge. Now I have a recipe for it. Thanks, Frank!
