We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - an amateur, a home cook, and a professional - to prepare their version of sushi. After each of them had presented their creation, we asked a food scientist to review their work. Which one would you wrap your chopsticks around?

Check out the level 3 recipe on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/inside-out-spicy-tuna-sushi-roll

That one authentic Japanese pro sushi chef eating sushi with her fingers while the other two use chopsticks is cracking me up

Never noticed how big Lorenzo's arms were. Probably buff from lifting everyone's spirits

I like how level 3 chef is so advanced she knows the rice can get bad on its own whim so she just prays

“Shape but no squeeze." Lorenzo: s q u i s h

Lorenzo always looks like he has some great joke to tell but he ends up laughing at his own joke and never gets a chance to tell.

Lorenzo is what I strive to be when I'm a dad: - Good at cooking - Sociable - laughs maniacally

I worked in a "fast food" sushi place and got trained by a professional chef because the franchise was opening up and I was extremely surprised to discover that they taught me most things Chef Hideyo did for her recipe. They also taught me how to respect the sushi, which is super important too ❤️

Hideyo is so likable, so professional, and grandmother-like at the same time!
