We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Onika, home cook Daniel, and professional baker Lani Halliday - founder and owner of Brutus Bakeshop - to make us a sweet and creamy milkshake. Once each level of chef had served up their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way - both good and bad. Which milkshake are you sharing with your date?

    Level 1: traditional milkshake Level 2: basically vegan Level 3: literally everything is handmade
  • @Mimi-yw1we
    Level one: OREOSSS Level two: banana, banana, banana Level three: decadent punch, liquid nitrogen, leave over night
  • @imalemon3841
    Onika: obsessed with Oreos Daniel: obsessed with almonds Lani: obsessed with starting things from scratch
  • Favorite line: "If someone makes you a milkshake, chances are they love you."
  • @protozeloz
    Oh a professional chef that doesn't go too cra... "Liquid nitrogen" Well there it is

    Weve got the nice lady across the street, the cool uncle, and the over the top aunt.
  • @Shaggyfauvorite
    10:00 Level 2 and 3 chefs just calmly doing what they do, and then onika just smashing the crap out of the oreos is hilarious
  • @FireWarrior2013
    Frankly Onika had more of a "Home Cook" feel with all that budget-conscious choice of ingredients and equipment, just screams "I know what I'm after tonight and I'm gonna make it" mentality. Daniel came across more as the "Amateur Cook" in that they know more of the quirks in cooking but do it as almost a hobby, it's a little extra, would impress in a family meeting. Lani just makes me think of one of the "antagonists" in Food Wars that excelled at food sciences. Knows exactly all the ways to make exquisite gourmet foods (which makes sense given their profession.)

    Dang I was gonna make a milkshake but I’m all out of liquid nitrogen
  • @cvazquez2707
    Love the level 1 chef!! Please bring her back. She def makes her food with love and you can tell it’s for someone to really enjoy and not just to be a flex. I would chose her milkshake any day!

    “When can I have my sprinkles mom?” “I have to wait for the sprinkles to dry overnight,”
  • @ruthlevitt9039
    Onika: "We don't want to clean up, we just want a treat!" Never have I related with someone so much!!!
  • @jenny.slice_
    Onika's milkshakes bring all the commenters to the yard, and they're like "it's better than yours, Daniel." In all reality, I think Daniel's "milkshake" is a nice way to go a little easier on the stomach for those of us who can't handle dairy well. Everybody's milkshakes looked so great! I love getting to hear from Rose too! Love you, Epicurious! <3

    As a culinary graduate all I can say is every passionate baker I've ever met is a mad scientist and this video proves my point
  • @MonikaLover
    Level 1: Hi I am *blank" and I am a level 1 chef Level 2: Hi I am blank and I am a level 2 chef Level 3: Hi I am Hugh newtron, I have been training in the shadow realm for 5 years, and I am a level 3 chef

    "If someone makes you a milkshake, it means they love you" Me, starring at a Coldstone employee making my shake "I love you too"

  • Thank you Onika for introducing me to marshmallow syrup. Who knew that was a thing? I’ll be trying that on my version of s’mores pancakes very soon.
