$317 vs $13 Quesadilla: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Pro chef Saúl Montiel from Cantina Rooftop and home cook Jon are swapping recipes and hitting the kitchen to make a quesadilla. We provided Jon with all the ingredients necessary to make chef Saúl’s over-the-top $371 quesadilla recipe, sending only $13 worth of your typical, store-bought stuff back the other way. Will Saúl elevate Jon’s more modest materials into something gourmet? Can Jon keep up with the demands of Saúl’s recipe? Which quesadilla looks better to you?

@supernicral okay but how long is a chopped tomato going to last you? Or jalapeño or chicken you didn't use and so on. Also they tend to only account for portions on the cheap side, I'd have to rewatch the video to see if they did that here. If so then it's more like a 50$ vs 300$ which is a big difference in price still but honest

honestly best part of this video is how modest these guys both are. Especially how the Chef complimented and pep talked the young guy
suggestion!! you should make the grocery list in order of least expensive to most. The bottom of the list always gets a few more seconds on the screen and it would allow us to see what ingredients make the dish sooo expensive.
“Why everything I do is so pretty? If you don’t believe me look at my kids.” LMAO💀
Chef Jon seemed like a real level 1...he didnt have a lot of experience but was open to trying everything. Really nice match up with Saul (Chef Wholesome). Love this show series.
Favorite part was definitely Jon almost making a vegetable flambé

"Why is this Mexican cheese?" "Cuz a Mexican is using it" Can't argue with that
I miss Rose informing the new chef 'what to do' with the unknown ingredients. But I like that Chef Saul gave the newbie directions and insight. I love this show😂
Jon seems fun to have on the show! More Jon plz!
Saul is still our national treasure.... love his wholesome vibes and Jon is such a chaotic ball of energy. 😄😂😂 I love their quesadilla dish! 😍🥰
The little cheese illustration was sooo freaking wholesome.
This guy Jon is an absolute pleasure to watch, comedy is awesome. You guys should have him on more often!
Chef Saul is a national treasure. Amazing camera presence!
Chef Saúl is the funniest and most creative chef ever. He is so wholesome.
Chef Saúl is very creative, his recipes are awesomr but sometimes the recipes he invents with the ingredients given to him are more impresive. I would put the chapulines inside of the quesadilla, so you get that salty flavor in random bites of the quesadilla
The true dollar amount of anything Chef Saul makes? Priceless.
Quesadillas are really easy to make and really easy to mess up. This could’ve gone the other direction. 😂
I just watched Jons double take on grasshoppers 15 times in a row. I'm dead lolol
1:48 "I'm going to play the lotto today" is hilarious
Saúl is top Mexican tío (uncle) humor and i'm here for it, my dude needs his own show!
Saul is my favorite chef on this series, I love seeing the cuisine he specializes in.
I wish all my teachers were like Saúl
This was a terrific episode! Also, I absolutely loved the spoon drop!
As soon as Jon said “HAIR-loom” tomato I was worried for him 😅

Wow mucho props to Saul. That was petty amazing to see how he transformed all those ingredients. I got taken to school today without knowing it was gonna happen.
When Jon almost put tequila instead of oil and the crew was like nOnOnoO JAJAHAHSHAHA
I am enjoying the evolution of this series. It is almost like if I was trying to make the recipe after watching him make it.
This is great! Saul is so sweet to everyone who he does these with, he needs his own show!
16:29 the reason why no one likes fancy food the tortilla broke but there was a cut in the video and had magically been repaired
La personalidad de Saul en este video es fabulosa como sus quesadillas. Gracias por poner muy en alto nuestra gastronomía.
This is an awesome video because a lot of us relate to the $13 ingredients. So it’s nice to see different ways to elevate the flavor of cheaper stuff
I won't rest until Saúl has his own show 😭😍
jon is the only one who really looks like a new student. Favorite part was definitely Jon almost making a vegetable flambé.
LOL I love when Chef Saul does a spoon-drop. He's a total rock star.
Chef Saul is worth his weight in gold. He always makes me smile.
I love watching this chef, he’s my favorite he’s the reason why I’ve watched EVERY video in this series 😂 spoon drop gets me everytime
I love when Jon says "the only words I unerstood are and and with", this basically sums up when my bilingual friend talks to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hair-loom! omg, i'm dying
Such an enjoyable episode, great job!
We demand more chef Saúl! His personality makes him so much fun to watch!!
Is no one else going to mention the edit where Saul dropped his spoon and it came in on Jon's frame. Excellent bit to keep up with
Chef Saul is always such a treat to watch😊
i really like Jon!!! he looks very sweet and funny
This episode was so cool. I love the creativity and science of the chef
the homecook is so cute thooo
When Saul plated that and i saw it all finished i said “GAHDAMN” so loud that’s insane artistic ability
Chef Saul with one video showed it is possible to be creative with any ingredients you have. That was some magic fr
“I used the tortillas to make the tortillas.” -Saul
My favorite part 9:15 HAHAHAHAHA Especially 9:26
I wish his restaurant was near me so I could try some of Chef Saul's food for myself. He is very creative with his dishes, uses terriffic technique, and has a great personality. Kudos Chef!
Love the pro chef, hes great for this type show. Great personality I watch every time hes on. Great job to both chefs.
Saul made tortillas out of tortillas! That was so creative
"Everything I do is so pretty, if you don't believe me? Look at my kids." Just punched me in the brain and told me to laugh 😭
"Everything I do is pretty, just look at my kids!" I absolutely ADORE Chef Saul ❤❤
If we dont see Saul after this video.. he definitely won the lottery
nothing reminds me of my complete lack of personality like a chef saúl video. love him.
This video was so wholesome & so many genuinely funny moments. It’s been years since I watched this series but I’m glad I did. Definitely put a smile on my face.
I've never heard of this show before. I watched for the title chef. Saul was really great and kind-hearted, but Jon really kept me watching cause it was really relatable reactions to things and had natural comedy come out of him.
I absolutely love Chef Saúl's energy!
Chef Saul in this video? Instantly watching.
They are both so respectful and awesome people! ❤😊
Chef Saul reminds me of a buddies dad I knew. Instantly makes me love the guy. I watch every one of his videos lool
How is no one talking about how entertaining Jon is 😻😻
Chef Saúl is a fantastic human being who came to this life to spread light and sunshine 🍀💖
I just love Saul, he makes me happy
Such a great video well done guys 🥂🔥
Chef Saúl for president
Saul ingredients in Mexico would have cost less than the half of that lol, the only expensive thing there was the tequila. Those are everyday ingredients here xD
Saul is my spirit animal. Well done both bros
Saúl Montiel is the most entertaining chef I have ever seen! he makes me laugh and he is so charming! I want to see him do his own Mexican cooking show!
What a delightful duo!!
We love you Chef Saul! ❤❤❤
I don't know you Jon, but I hope you stay. A greatb addition to the team
Saúl seems like a really amazing teacher!
soul has top be one of the best dads. look at him. even on youtube he is proud to show his love for them.
That Spoon Drop!!! Best Reaction Ive seen on here!!!
That made me happy. That was wonderful.
It’s like a proud uncle versus nephew cook off ❤
I love Saul, he so fun and lively. Epicurious just has such a great bunch of presenters, they're all great and always seem like they are having fun. Jon also did very well on this. He didn't even have to consult Rose once (that we know of)!
This may be one of my favorite episodes so far ❤
