Expert chef Frank from the Institute of Culinary Education and home cook Gabi are swapping materials and hoping for the best! We gave Gabi $260 worth of ingredients and Frank's recipe notebook, then asked her to recreate his pork chop dinner as best she could. To lend a remote helping hand, food scientist Rose dialed in for a brief teleconference and pep talk. On the other side, Frank received a meager $17 worth of supplies and tried to improvise his way up to gourmet. Who’s got the chops to succeed under these mixed up circumstances?

I think that the sweetest thing is that Frank, a professional chef, said: "I'll never be as good a cook as your grandma"

this series should just be named "Frank shows off his cooking knowledge for a half hour straight while a level two chef struggles to decipher his godly tomes"

Twist: None of Frank's appliances were plugged in. His hotness brought everything to temp.

"Trying to get me drunk huh?" "Get me six more we'll see where i'm at." The most badass saltmaster line.

I love how Frank always took a photo of his dish after he made it. It's like a proud grandpa. And he should.

Fact: Not only did Frank raise and grow all of the items in his dish, he also raised Gabi.

And now Gabi is studying at the culinary school Frank teaches at.

Frank went easy on Gabrielle by not giving her a pregnant pig to care for and raise the baby before butchering it.

I always get distracted when they bring in really attractive, gorgeous guests like Frank into this show.

Is it just me or this Frank dude has some sort of magnetic effect that makes you wanna watch more of him?
