  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มี.ค. 2023
  • Professional chef Saúl Montiel from Cantina Rooftop and home cook Daniel are swapping materials and hitting the kitchen for a gnocchi throwdown! We set Daniel up with a treasure chest of ingredients from chef Saul’s kitchen, along with a recipe for his eye-popping $301 gnocchi. Meanwhile, over in chef Saul’s kitchen, a much more modest $14 worth of ingredients were being finessed by the executive chef in a quest to improvise his way up to gourmet. Whose gnocchi makes you wanna shout Buon appetito?

    Saul: “Simple food is the best food”
    Also Saul in another video: “Simple is boring”
    Saul is not simple. He’s deep and complicated.
    Saul is the way.

    • @lewismaddock1654

      I think what he's saying is that simple but done with the correct technique isn't simplistic. In other words lazy food is simplistic, and boring.

    • @thenonexistinghero
      @thenonexistinghero ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Good chefs usually use a lot more butter and salt than what's recommended. What's recommended is usually healthier, of course... but if you're gonna make a dish for a special occassion, health should be the last thing on your mind. And well, that's besides the fact that salt and butter aren't as unhealthy as is generally claimed.
