Saul made a traditional quesadilla, he combined the ingredients in a high class way, but still traditional... we do not combine them.... pumpkin flower is very traditional for a quesadilla and is so so so delicious, try it, come to mexico, I'll invite you some.

I loved each of these chefs so much, Saul is a special human being and his warmth and humor shone through. Loved how detailed he was in explaining his process! I also really enjoyed them sharing their culture with us

I appreciate John being real and getting store bought for most ingredients. This is a true level 1 chef 🙏 sometimes in these videos there is barely a difference between level 1 and level 2.

Saul needs his own cooking show right now lol

I love how the level 3 chefs make everything from scratch

Rose's tips for how to use the leftover whey from cheese-making - I had no idea! mind blown - loved this whole vid

The best part of this channel is that it's not a competition to see whose method is better. Each variety is completely valid and appetizing. We need more things like this.

I want a Saul quesadilla please...the love and passion that he placed into what is typically such a simple dish

Saul put his entire saulussy into that, love him

The cuts of the level 2 and 3 chefs going in detail about their sauces as John just goes on about his store bought is just amazingly funny!

Chef Saul's humor makes me feel comfortable with food in a way that slowly edges me closer to Level 2 than the Level 1 I was before I started watching these videos.
