Recreating Matty Matheson's Pizza Pockets From Taste | Reverse Engineering | Bon Appétit

  • We challenged resident Bon Appétit supertaster and test kitchen director Chris Morocco to recreate Matty Matheson's 'Nduja pizza pockets. The catch? He'll have to use each of his senses - other than sight. Does Chris have what it takes to recognize and reproduce these little pockets of joy without seeing what they are?

  • @chunkymurps
    @chunkymurps 2 роки тому +153

    Probably the best episode in this series so far for these two reasons.
    1). Giving him his score after his first attempt gives him the opportunity to see in what areas he has it wrong, which is usually the ingredients, and allows him to make adjustments. A lot of the time he second guesses himself and either adds or doesn't add ingredients he thinks might or might not be in there, which actually are/aren't, so seeing that his ingredient score was so low meant he had to think harder about what needed to change.
    2). I believe this is the first episode where they actually told him what ingredients he missed or added that weren't actually in the recipe. There were two not mentioned (he used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and added oregano) which are only small things but i personally would like to see/hear EVERY ingredient mentioned just so he knows what he got wrong.

      I thought the scoring was pretty weak, at least for Appearance. The shade of the pastries was not the same, the sauce didn't look the same, one of his pockets exploded and/bc he missed the vents. Idk how that equates to a 96 given the simplicity of the dish (at least outwardly).
