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?_

That’s not ragù
Saul as italian I just say this: you are a genius👏
As Italian I’m impressed how that chef turn out those ingredients, he did everything perfectly !
This dude sounds like matpat
Hear me out: Pro Chef Swap. Saul vs Frank. Both think they are trading with a home chef and they both receive the other pro's box.
crying of joy in Italian hearing they are pronouncing gnocchi right 🥹 but crying like “what the heck” as I read Italian 00 flour 6$!!! But again, this one they’re using is biological and – as of my knowing – a high end product here in italy too; I can assure you that you can get amazing gnocchi also with a 1€/kg flour, it’s the potatoes that make the difference 😜 they have to be quite aged/old so they’ve lost some of their moisture thus needing less flour when kneading it. This will result in fluffier and less sticky gnocchi (as he says in the video 😜). At least that’s what my nonna taught me 🤗
WONDERFUL
Love the arugula in the gnocchi
300 bucks for what ?
i miss rose
Saul adopt me
It’s always good to see italian food Made by americans. That makes me so proud 🙌🏻
How do they choose the home cheif? By good looks?
This was utterly delightful!
Saul I’m your fan!! What a great twist on $14 gnocchi ingredients
im watching this eating ramen with chopped up sliced salami and cheese
Saul is the best! I love him
Daniel is sooo hot! Basa at makati na naman ang Poque ko! 🥹🥵
better call saul
omg i love them both
Saul is a hoot.
"Don't know if you can tell, I fry everything". LOL
Daniel has come so far since his days of putting blackberries on grilled cheese.
Saul is a gentle soul. A gentle Saul, if you will.
if Saúl became a lawyer, he would be Saúl Buenhombre
Whoever captioned this video, made a spelling mistake
Saúl was saying "broil" and "broiler". It's the highest stage in an oven, right under the main heating element, called broiler
Daniel! Your teeth are sickly white. Please stop bleaching them, it's disgusting.
I love Saul so much. I'm picking him in an apocalypse
