We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Bianca, home cook Gabrielle, and professional chef Bill Clark - to make us a batch of their favorite sandwich cookies. Once each level of chef had finished and tasted their final product, we asked food scientist Rose to explain their choices from an expert's perspective. Which cookies are you saving room for after dinner?

the look of guilt on the level 3's face when he brought out the store bought pretzels, knowing he just created a glitch in the level 3 universe

i think that if all the level one chefs compete against each other that would be hilarious

Steven would probably mash up Oreos and cheesecake together and call it a day. I miss Steven

Level 3: It’s easy to separate a yolk! Level 2: You separated your yolk first try? Level 1: Wait, y’all are separating your yolks?

Bill knows he is a pro, he doesn’t have to show off, he doesn’t have to make something extre cheffy, he takes his time to explain what he is doing, we love a humble king

Surprise that the level 3 chef didn't make his own pretzels.

Meanwhile Frank is on the search to find the six infinity stones so he can assemble them together and use their powers to create everything from scratch, even a whole new universe.

The girl who made "alfajores de maicena con dulce de leche" earned a place in my heart 😍

New show idea: three food scientists are tasked with making their version of a food and judged by a level 1, level 2, and level 3 chef to choose a winner

Epicurious had the perfect opportunity to do "4-levels of turkey" or "4-levels of pumpkin pie"

It's rare that I want to try all three versions on one of these videos, but this is an exception. All three levels created a product you'd expect for their cooking level, and they all ended up with a result that looks enjoyable. All did well in the presentation too. This isn't the Emily-Lorenzo-Frank trifecta, but it's a solid grouping. I'd like to see them together again.
