$412 vs $29 Steak Dinner: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

Video Overview & Insights

Professional chef Frank Proto and home cook Lorenzo are swapping ingredients and hitting the kitchen to make a steak dinner. We set Lorenzo up with a whopping $412 worth of ingredients for his attempt at Frank’s pro recipe. Meanwhile, a modest $29 worth of ingredients was sent back the other way to be elevated into something gourmet by our esteemed pro. Will Lorenzo be able to execute the restaurant-quality steak Frank intended to make? Can Frank transform Lorenzo’s humble ingredients into something spectacular?

When I see Frank ingrediens it is scum, When you raise and grow things and you know how it looks. Egg yolks ? How can you buy them fresh ? Potatoes for 30 dolars. Butter for 87.

“We’re going to making Pommes darphin.” Directly translates to: Frank that’s a hash brown pancake.
