  • Two longtime favorites return as expert chef and chef instructor Frank Proto trades Po' Boy recipes with home cook extraordinaire Lorenzo. We gave Lorenzo $340 worth of ingredients to reproduce Frank's recipe while sending only a modest $25 worth of stuff back the other way. How will Lorenzo's skills measure up to Frank's expert level recipe? Will Frank's "Po' Boy Bites" come together and steal the show?

    What can we do to get a video with Saul, Lorenzo, Frank and Emily? Maybe a team of duos swapping ingredients?

    Lorenzo and Frank are so good together that I want a spin-off buddy cop series where they solve crimes in the big city.

    • @DynastyLuminous46
      @DynastyLuminous46 Před rokem +44

      Yeah, it could have Lorenzo fail at playing bad cop, and Frank tending to a personal tree farm in order to manufacture his own sheets of paper for the criminal dossiers.

      And near the end of every episode, as they sit down to eat an exquisite sandwich they've created, they connect all the dots the very second the first bite hits their mouth and save the day.

    I always love these cheap vs steep switches, cause it shows that “normal” cooks can elevate their cooking game and we get to see what chefs do with basic ingredients.

      Just wish they didn't manipulate the pricing so wildly every time for both recipes.

      @sea-envy3137 Před rokem

      I wonder how long they were "in videos together" before them met in person.
      The 4 levels episodes are filmed separately did they meet up after filming an early one or was it more recent that they got together

  • @belalabusultan5911
    @belalabusultan5911 Před rokem +66

    I don't eat sea food, and never heard of Po' Boy before, but still watched because I saw Frank and Lorenzo.
    that's how cool they are.

    • @naomiarram5187
      @naomiarram5187 Před rokem +5

      Me too! Heard of po'boy (love the irony of an outrageously expensive one!!) but I also don't eat seafood and clicked just because I love them!!
      Plus, you can always learn something.

    • @dhawkins1234
      @dhawkins1234 Před rokem +38

      They kinda cheated by adding saffron and counting the price of the entire container's worth of ingredient rather than just what was needed for the recipe. You're not putting $12.99 worth of oil on there.

      The prices are not legitimate, to be fair.

    • @Greydawg
      @Greydawg Před rokem +8

      @@dhawkins1234 it's worse than you suggested; that can of oil is half that price. It's absolutely bizarre how & why they manipulate the prices for both sides when they don't have to do it that way at all and get the same effect without also getting the negative side effects of discouraging cooks to be likely to try any of the more pricey ingredients. 🤷‍♂️

    @iancryar6431 Před rokem +3

    I was born and raised in south Louisiana where the po’boy is from baguette is not the bread. The bread is French bread. Preferably leidenheimer bread but down here most grocery stores carry there own which is nearly as good as leidenheimer bread. As for the Tony’s Chachere it’s easy to make Cajun seasoning and by making it you control the salt content

    Remoulade is something you can find on some place's po boys, personally I grew up eating them and I often prefer it to just the traditional mayo. Rouille like aioli are gonna be pretty darn similar to remoulade though, it's all just the French naming slight variations of things outright instead of just saying, spicy-, yolk only-, etc.
