Expert chef Frank Proto from the Institute of Culinary Education and home cook Beth are swapping materials and hoping for the best! We equipped Beth with $75 worth of ingredients and Frank's recipe notebook before asking her to recreate his gourmet grilled cheese. To lend a helping hand, food scientist Rose dialed in for a tutorial teleconference slash pep talk. On the other side, Frank received $7 worth of supplies - usually more than enough to make a solid grilled cheese. But what tricks does he have up his sleeve for improvising his way up to gourmet? Tune in and find out who succeeded under these mixed up circumstances!

14:42 I'm shocked that Frank sent a loaf of bread instead of a packet of yeast, 542g of flour, 11g of sugar, 2 1/2 tsp of salt, and 379g of luke warm water.

“I would never of thought to put ricotta in a grilled cheese but it’s delicious” Humble level 3 chef learning new tricks from a grandma

When I saw the flour, I was sure Frank was gonna have Beth make her own bread.

I like how Beth can understand what to do real quick. She is very clever, she can easily know how to figure out with ingredients. Also, I can see how much joy she felt while cooking

I love how Beth name drops her entire family; all part of her everyday life, because that’s what is most important to her. And that’s how OG Brooklyn mama mias roll. ✌️👵🥖🧀

Definitely the best pairing. Beth and Frank should have a show of their own.

Little did she know, but Frank had already done most of the work in the Mozzarella, raising the cow from birth and producing the milk, then churning it into curd.

Beth: Puts some salt in the water Beth: Thinks about it Beth: Puts the whole box Beth: PERFECT

"doesnt have to be perfect, just gotta taste good" that's a motto I can follow

i love how frank basically has his own show on this channel: traumatizing cooks with vague recipes and expensive ingredients

I love how fun and kind they both are, without trying to playfully talk themselves up over the other. It just feels like mutual respect and comrade.

Honestly, a grilled-cheese version of an uncrustable sounds amazing.
