- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - an amateur, a home cook, and a professional - to make a pot of chili. Once each was simmered to perfection, we asked a food scientist to review their work. Whose chili earned top marks? Find out on this episode of 4 Levels.
Check out the level 3 recipe on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/seafood-whit...

4 Levels of Chili: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious - Zábava
Level 1: turkey
Level 2: beef
Level 3: I'm gonna rent a boat. I'll be back.
No that’s frank
Y Cox frank makes the boat smh
Some Random Bottle frank is the boat
IzzyMcNugget no, frank is the tree of which the wood , that the boat is made of, comes from
A level 3 would BUILD the boat!
Frank couldnt come cause he's still in Alaska, hunting for the perfect giant crab
Like seriously is frank a new meme
Well, I personally don’t think those are chilies.
I mean, those chilies are too fancy to be called chilies.
U mean making a perfect crab
Senahoy Ayay chillès
He’s probably growing the cow too.
Can we just appreciate that Chris is like, "I'm a level three chef" and not the typical, here's my resumé, you should probably just bow down now...?
He seems far more fun and accessible than most professionals on here
As long as I can appreciate his personality while still being turned off by the abomination he is calling chilli
But he was kinda already a reality TV star so maybe doesn't have the same pressure
They worked hard for that title , if I had worked that hard , I would show off all I want.
@@rawan_ahmad_ exactly.
Lorenzo: “are you guys mad at me because I didn’t use ground beef?”
Chris: “hold my crab”
facts
What he made was more of a gumbo than a chili :/
Kayla Frazier I totally agree with you
Wow I’m famous
@@kaylafrazier4727 I know right?!
is no one gonna talk about how the level three chef finally said “i’m a level three chef” instead of “i’ve been cooking for 4628 years”
That’s the comment I’ve been lookin for lol
IT ACTUALLY LEFT ME WONDERING HOW LONG HE'D BEEN A CHEF FOR
@@Nocreativenamehere He said 30 years in the fried chicken video.
His skill qualifies for 2 decades.... ☺️
Lol
"Don't eat the bay leaves"
Emily evolves to level 1.5
This comment made my day HAHAH😂
At least she didn't add ketchup to her chilli...
She left for a while to do some training clearly lol.
She's the one who will Level Up
This is hilarious
Epicurious: We are making Chili today!
Level 1: We'll basically just throw meat and tomatoes together and stuff
Level 2: We'll basically just throw meat and tomatoes together and stuff, then add a little twist.
Level 3: Well, crab.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I really love how Emily became much more comfortable cooking in front of the camera. Her confidence now is amazing
Emily’s getting too skilled, they should bring back the half cheesecake guy.
He's upped his game, too. Though, I think she doesn't bring the amateur moments so strongly anymore, the contrast between her and the level 2 cooks, like Lorenzo, Beth, and Julie is apparent.
We need new people 😂
College students😂
@@fellowcommentscroller.8748 It looks like we've lost the 18 year old girl reading the part of the Level 4 Chef. Maybe she went off to college and can return as a Level 1 Chef?
Zain Clasher75 😂🤣
Fellow Comment Scroller: This is my chilli, my mom made it and I heated it up in the microwave. What do you mean that's illegal? That girl used ketchup on French Toast and yall said nothing!! Stop acting like there are rules here!
- Me as a college student trying to "cook"
When he said "Seafood Chili", I immediately came down to the comments.
As did I!
I can relate
same here ! I'm still cracking up 😂😂😂😂
SAME so here I am xD
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Level one: decent lower calorie chilie
Level two: close to traditional with his own twist
Level three: unheard of abomination
John Lestrange right? That’s not chili. That jambalaya with beans instead of rice. Or seafood soup.
Exactly. It's seafood stew. No level 3 chef has proven to me they can cook good traditional food.
@@DCLocal84 People don't go to high dollar restaurants for "traditional food" tho
@@KarmigulaEffect That's really missing the point. You don't go to a high dollar restaurant for chili either. High dollar for ostentatiousness, bring that attitude to traditional food and you look a fool.
@@dgpatter Imagine thinking expensive chili doesn't exist.
Lorenzo can't go without laughing, I love this dude😂😂😂
"For all you other 'Level 1s' out there, don't eat the bay leaf"
Peak Emily advice
i have certainly been there
I did that, it wasn't bad.
@@millaarts4294 surrrrrrrr
steven would’ve ate the bayleaf, after adding half a cheesecake to his chilli
The Chipotle clientele should have taken this advice.
Bless him, he said “I’m a level three chef”
Hi I'm a level 3 chef, I started my career as an athlete but when I turned 9 and started to cook my own lunch I found it as a hobby. And (Up to you)
@@lovecaleighjeanine5101 now I cook all our family meals and grew up always cooking then I went to culunary school and graduated collage then had chefs like gordon ramsey,jamie oliver and wolfgang puck teach me much more about cooking and now I have 3 restaurants in America 2 in Las Vegas 1 in Japan 1 in India 1 in London and 2 in Italy my next restaurant will be in Mexico
@@sammyailium6197
But your name isn't Chris...
@@sammyailium6197 i can make sandwiches
@@sammyailium6197 once in mexico i than partnered with the spanish mafia were i was than be able to import/export glass grade methamphetamine that would be easily accesible to high class clientel through my fine dining restaurant. But i was later bought out by kingpin pablo escobar which lead me to flee mexico and work on epicurious videos for youtube. : )
Omg. My wife screamed "That's the sh*t!" when seafood guy added beer. Apparently she had mild disapproval at the others not adding beer.
Aww, she sounds adorable. 😂
Ew
drunkard much
I feel like the level 1s are just people who have to cook on a budget
Emma Carey I’m starting to wonder if level 1 and 2 and 3 without the credentials have actually enrolled in culinary school and that level 3 with credentials have done some teaching. The lower levels show improvement in time. Except the cheesecake pancake guy. He throws a monkey wrench into my evaluation.
Are you excited for stranger things 4?
Remember, if Emily graduates to level 2, we’ll never see her and Lorenzo in the same video, let that sink in.
still she's the one supposed to Level Up
Nah, she'll just be lvl 2 and lorenzo will be lvl 3
@@xXLiLJokerXx i know what kind of joke you want to do, but sadly, it's not that easy to Level Up from Level 2 to Level 3 as it is to Level Up from 1 to 2, Level 3 chefs are profesional chefs who studied to make the best cook as possible, they know science and art, Level 2 chefs are experienced ones, people who have to constantly cook for friends, family or themselves, they just have the experience
That's fine!!!
unless Lorenzo graduates to level 3
The ketchup monster is almost ready to graduate to the next level
Level 2 ketchup chief
Honestly it wouldn't have been that bad of a bad idea to have added Ketchup to her chili. I know some people do it, I wouldn't but I wouldn't fault someone for it.
Emily at lvl 3:tomatillo ketchup
@@M7S4I5L8V2A its tomato paste and sugar so ...
Emily definitely seems like she’s on her way to level 2 lol
we gonna talk bout how the third level dude sound like obama
He looks like OJ Simpson..... he's very skilled with the knife
Cameron Wilson i-
@@Residence0fUtopia cursed
You know the episode is gon be good when we got Emily and Lorenzo. All we need is Frank and we set for lifeee.
We dream of an episode with Emily Lorenzo and Frank
I think the burger one has the trio
Ziad Jamoul It does but the amount of times I watched that already is unhealthy, we need more
@@ziadjamoul3606 that was the first 4 lvls vid and I don't think theyve been together since
Lol same bro😂😂
YEEEEES
Emily: *Cooks like an actual adult*
Everyone: Wait that’s illegal
Zain Clasher75 I hate you
@@axpecto7113 i hope your joking but if you are not that is just rude...
no one cares stfu
Brandon Lee what did they do?
I reported Brandon Lee
Typical Chilli: *exist*
Chris: "Imma bout to ruin this man's whole career"
The expert chef sounds like Obama, it's so weird, what a lovely voice.
I was thinking the same thing.
How these videos always go:
Level 1 recipe: basic, decent
Level 2 recipe: a little more adventurous and a lot better
Level 3 recipe: cocaine induced fever dream
Level 3 was just gumbo without a roux
Except for the burrito episode. That level 3 burrito made me so hungry I'd steal piece of tree-bark from an starving Ethiopian.
Level 3 is slaughtering an animal in the back.
Nah not the hamburger one. Lorenzo's hamburger looked so much better than Frank's.
@@lightingandbolt9559 wtf?
Who else is surprised that Emily used canned tomatoes instead of ketchup
@Briscoe17555 at least level 1,5
My mom has before... at least now she has upgraded to salsa
I thought the ketchup thing was over
Maddie Boehm her original recipe probably included ketchup but all the comments about it made her self conscious 😂
probably the one time she could have used ketchup and it would have been totally acceptable
I love Lorenzo. So wholesome and passionate, he doesn't deserve the "Level 2 Chef" label :(
WHERE IS THE KETCHUP EMILY WHO IS THIS IMPOSTER
There's just something about Lorenzo's energy that makes me so happy
True
SAMEEE
@I LOVE YOU like wanting to laugh more and be more positive happy
Thats why i only search for lorenzo on level 1 2 3 challenge
I love lorenzo
Lorenzo is basically a level 3 chef with common ingredients
I love him and i think that he is a great cook. But the episode that they swap ingredients with frank tell us the opposite.
That’s the point of level 2 I presume, they are the Jamie Oliver to Gorson Ramsay.
Lorenzo is a fantastic cook, and better than many of the level 3 chefs
No, Lorenzo THINKS he's a level 3 chef...
Just because you like him doesn't mean he's a level 3, he has no where the experience of chefs and has never cooked but for himself and family, doesnt know how to manage expensive ingredients, sure he's a great cook but stop overrating him
I love the level 3 chef’s who say they are a level 3 and not “and i have been a chef for 9998384938474938 years”
I love how every one of these dishes is just good and it’s not the standard “amateur has no idea what they’re doing and therefore comes off as that one aunt in the family who lets her husband do the cooking and the other 2 are indirectly fighting over what ingredients and methods are better.”
"For all you other Level Ones out there-dont eat the bay leaf."
It's kinda simple but yall dont know how much I'm smiling right now
Liv Smith Probably because a lot of people posted on Twitter attacking Chipotle for having bay leaves
@@jadopotato64
I laughed at the indignant ones saying things like it was a leaf like from an actual tree or something.
TBF you are supposed to remove the bay leaf.
@@stephenolan5539 and it is not right. Bay leaf can be eaten especially when grounded or when roasted with chicken for example... And it is DELICIOUS!
Best episodes are when Lorenzo is there and even better when Emily’s there too 😂
can’t believe I forgot about frank sorry 😂 🤦🏻♀️
And Even more better with Rose as the food scientist.
You forgot Frank
And it's best when Frank is also there. No offense to this guy, but he ain't Frank. Nobody is
I think emily is upgrading if not level 2 the 1.5
But its not perfect without frank.
Chefs have a different level of understanding how to merge, alternate and create new flavours from traditional to something exciting or different, i love this idea, i definitely will try it!
Grabs a can of Hormel and spoon- "And this is my chili!"
Chris has such a nice "dad who cooks for the entire family" vibe
That's weird. I got an "impregnates a single mother and neglects her and the kid to beat another girl on the side" vibe. Maybe we both shouldnt judge books by their cover.
@@MrSinister718 What is wrong with you?
@@MrSinister718 Who hurt you guy?
@@MrSinister718 project much?
@@MrSinister718 Sounds like racial profiling to me. 😬
Me: I don't mind eating gray meat
Lorenzo: *You don't wanna eat gray meat*
Me: I don't wanna eat gray meat
These are not the gray meats you’re looking for.
grey*.
im sorry
@@carsonsteen6566 Gray. Only in America is grey. *sigh
Oxidation be like
Carson Steen It can be either.
Emily: puts beans in chili
Me: cries in Texan
level 3's chef reminded me of something from new Orleans id love to try it.
Level 1 & 2 Chefs: "Let's make Chili!"
Level 3 Chef: "You fools; we're making seafood gumbo!" "...& Cornbread"
lol
The Level 3's seem to go off the rails like that. Grilled Cheese guy was like: "Allow me to present you with my perfect Croque Madame!" Except he *said* grilled cheese and presented a croque madame...
I laughed too hard at this comment, but it's too true!!!
@@oniman123 Yeah I find this annoying because they have to really reach to elevate a simple humble dish like chili, to the point is ceases to be that dish.
finally someone said it!!! wtf is that!!!!?!!!??!! chilli never ever never evea eva evea have god damn water creatures
"Don't eat the bay leaf" Emily already far above the mass of people on Twitter freaking out at the bay leaf in their Chipotle.
The day I saw someone eat a bay leaf, was the day I understood why there are instructions on a bottle of shampoo.
@@amsb4dafunk406 Not to mention yo don't put bay leaf in chili...sop and stews, ya fine but not chili.
@@telford32 Uh, chili totally is a stew, though. At least, all the recipes I've ever seen refer to it as such. You're using a long, wet cooking method to break down meat full of connective tissue, and adding various additional ingredients typically to stretch the stew to serve more people (beans, pasta, rice, etc.). That's what a stew is. Ground beef in chili is a way to get around the long stewing process, but it's not where chili originated.
Emily is now a 1.5. When she becomes a grandma she will level up to 2
Fun Fact: Lorenzo was in Season 3 Episode 18 of a little show that you might've heard of called Brain Games.
Im so proud of Emily, it is so good to see how she's more confident in what she is adding to the pot
Let's make chili today.
Chris: I don't think so.
He wanted to get eliminated from Top Chef again.
“For all you other Level 1’s out there, don’t eat the bay leaf”
I’m guessing she learnt that the hard way.
I did
Same, that was a fun night I'll tell you
Did she just confirm it?
Honestly, didn’t we all learn that the hard way?
Lorenzo: *points at each and every ingredient* “Yummy yummy yummy yummy!”
“You can’t have good chili without cornbread.” My man. Thank you.
Lorenzo always makes the one you would want to eat the most.
Facts!!!
I did just start reading the comments for the recipe! I got my husband all hyped for it! Now I can’t find it!
True
This is a fact
dezericka just listen to the video closely he is giving you the recipe
Let’s play a game... never have I ever:
... seen or heard of a seafood chilli
Not until now
Dude brought gumbo to a chili fight
Haven't been to the east coast then
Derek McKenzie not only seen or heard of, I’ve never, ever *wanted* to see, hear of, or especially TASTE “seafood chili.”
@@raremage Correct.
After I saw what the others were using, I just focused on Lorenzo. I aint having no turkey, fish chili!
I can smell Chris’s chili I want to try it so bad it looks sooo good 🤤
once emily started wearing her hair up we all knew she was improving
First comment like bruh over 800 likes and ZERO comments whatttttttt
Video: “Let’s make chilli”
Chris: “I’m gonna do what they call a Level 3 Chef move”
Just An Edit 😂😂😂😂
Chris: *Oh yea this is big brain time*
Not make what was asked of him
I like his recipe ;)
@@AnastazjaR I am sure it's delicious, but it is not chili.
I literally only watch most of these for Lorenzo’s guns
these three chefs have my heart
I Know this man did not just make fish stew and try to pass it off as chili...
Zayna.033 Lol XD
Technically depending on which side you fall on, none of them made chilli
😂😂😂😂
@@chrisbeaty3572 yeah they did.
Technically chili is originally northern mexican and adopted by texas it was just a spicy beef/pork or seafood stew
Emily: Doesn't use ketchup
Everyone: *Wait that's illegal*
Lazy meme. Do not like.
@@OrigamiWithAmaan Ok boomer
@@OrigamiWithAmaan Whatever dude
I think something that could improve this series is to also include the cost of the ingredients each level uses in case we want to recreate these recipes at home :)
I would truly love to see the reaction of the three chefs to all three dishes
Y'all buggin over Emily being back but I'm just glad to see Rose again.
Me too. Love her
She's my favourite food scientist. Love her!
Xavier the hag
Me too!
FaceLess ok boomer
Lorenzo is legit a Lvl 3 chef that didn't go to the culinary institute
Agree. He simply lacked the textbook knowledge of food. You can tell it during his cook exchange with Frank at the 16 dollar steak VS 500 dollar steak episode.
Yeah
👍👍
He rlly said “cojita cheese”
LORENZO IS DOPE. PERIOD.
Watching these I always feel like I’d enjoy the level 2 chef’s food the most but I definitely respect all the chefs here :)
Chris's dish kind of looks like a jambalaya but with beans. I honestly like his the best though
If someone serves me chili and there’s half a crab in there and it tastes like seafood, we fighting on sight.
How do we even eat a crab like that??
Hell, I already hate it when people put shrimp into a meal and leave the tail when it's a dish like this (where the shrimp is wholly submerged, and you eat with a spoon), so you know I'm noping away from goddamn Sebastian in my bowl.
That's better than I could do. I would be swelling up and going into anaphylactic shock, due to my shellfish allergy.
@@neveroddoreven9594 Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who thought the concept of putting meat still with bones and such in a dish like soup or pasta where it's supposed to be eaten with just a fork/spoon and no picking out bones, etc. insane. My parents (who are good cooks) for some reason insist on making their chicken cacciatore with bone in chicken and mixing it with spaghetti. Bone in chicken mixed into pasta seems like something a serial killer would do.
I think it's just for flavor
Me: *See's Emily*
Me: "Oh god, is the chili just ketchup and beans?"
Coard Lowery see’s?
@@ghostkmn5990 Whomst'd question me?
That's my chili when I'm too lazy to go get groceries tbh

You can’t have an amateur to food scientist episode without Lorenzo like omg he’s a classic :0
0:15 me when someone asks how I make my food...
Level 3: "I'm a level 3 chef"
Wait that's illegal
Yeah I know! They always say the number of years they've been cooking, never Level 3!
Hi I’ve been a chef for level 3 years
@@randomhuman8107 heh
Too much microtransactions to get to level 100
Still waiting for when they try each other’s dishes...
Seafrog been commenting that on quite of few videos for a while .. I’m stilllll waiting
They should make four bowls.
Seafrog omg they need to do that!!!
They probably can't do that since they record everything on different days
It's not a competition!
Am i the only one who always likes Lorenzo's dish more than the level 3?
i love it whe the chefs are superposed when they do the samr thing. When the three said "garlic, oregano, chilli pepper" at the same time, i enjoyed that. Maybe because it makes me glad that some things are always good, that both newbies and masters can agree on.
I don’t know if it’s just me but I love watching Lorenzo cook, he looks like he loves cooking 😫
Elizabeth morillo nuñez I want Lorenzo to just have his own episodes.
I think he needs an intervention. All that moroseness...He needs to cheer up a bit!;-)
“why are u putting this in the chili?”
emily: “that’s what makes it chili”
I love seafood so I'm dying to taste that seafood chili
This is one where every level made something that seems bombbbbby
Level 1 chef: uses bay leaf
Me: that’s a level 2/3 move outstanding job
0.66?! She deserves more for that move!
I meant like that’s a move that a lever 2 or 3 chef would do

That’s funny
You only need to worry if you're extra. Don't be extra

spxxx30 -because I am a level 3 chef*
"Chris, please pack your knives and go." -Padma
Lol exactly... he made a seafood stew and is just calling it "chili"
What sane person can say "this chilli isnt going to be spicy" and not rethink their dish
I'd call it more of a bisque than a chilli
Everything Lorenzo makes looks AMAZING
frank isn't there because he is busy growing his chili seeds and his busy plating his olive tree
Imagine If Frank was here, the whole squad wouldve been assembled...
Fantorangen Official love frank
They're saving it for an anniversary vid, maybe

Looked tasty though
I don't like seafood. But I love going to aquariums. So it made me a little sad.
Gone too soon.

@@pollypockets508 So, you don't like to see them dead, just incarcerated.
I cringed a little while watching that.. even though I knew it was coming
As a native Marylander, seeing Chris whip out that blue crab made me shed a tear of joy

I'm glad to see Chris again. Seems like such a cool guy.
mac bro
Yeah same!
I like black people
He talks exactly like Barack Obama. I had to look twice to make sure it wasn't him :)
