Do a reverse engineering battle of Chris vs Brad to showcase how difficult it really is

They forget what the point is - to test his "super taster abilities". Show me anyone who can TASTE the flour difference or detect the cornstarch. He NAILED this one, and to dock 15 whole percent on taste because his ratios of all the correct spices wasn't perfect after 2 tries (and adjusting ingredients) is SO dumb.

Chris KILLED this one! The adjustments after the second tasting were so good. Really impressive.

I LOVEEEE The idea of leaving clues out like the oil spatters!! Really brings out Chris’s inner detective

I would have given him a 90% for ingredients and 95% technique for sure. He did everything the same way!! Just left out an ingredient in the wet dredge and 2 in the dry ones.

I feel like he should have gotten a higher score. He was getting points docked for things like vegetable oil vs olive oil and white onions vs yellow onions, yet he's nailing every single spice in there.

I'll tell ya - despite the struggles he may go through, and even when he's actually a bit off, the appearance always surprises me how accurate that portion is. Still, my favorite series!

I feel like the next step in this would be to just give Chris the ingredients and figure out what he needs to make.

I feel like I don’t see enough people commenting on the transitions where Chris is looking at the camera in various ways- those are comedy gold

I love it when Chris can’t see a dish but produces one that looks and probably tastes better than the original on his first try.

Morocco’s reflex of catching the book- and then, only after catching so, so so very smoothly as if he was born for it, lets out an ungodly neurotic split second flinch, is SO reminiscent of true dad reflexes. Catch first, freak out later lmao

I feel like the judges have a tendency to say what Chris gave himself then score him just above or just below that (by like 1 or 2%) and I wonder if you would see that, if they did not know Chris's prior scores and came in blind

She's judging far too harshly. He nailed this.

It seems like BA must read the comments because i commented on the last video (and maybe others did too) that they need to tell him EVERY ingredient he missed or got wrong in order for us, the viewer, to be able to see his reaction/s to where he went wrong and in this video they actually did that. The only thing they missed is telling him he used vegetable oil instead of olive oil which does make a big difference in flavour that he should have been made aware of. I hope they keep it up. Love this series. It's the only BA i watch now.

This series is literally the only good thing left on the BA channel. I just wish they did these more often.

I love how he says white onion when he’s tasting it, but then gets yellow onion instead lol

85% on ingredients because of the starches feels a little harsh to me, anyone else?

I LOVE his honest approach and his potty mouth! Smart, talented, funny- what’s not to love?

Overly hard grading on this imo. Some of the ingredients were technically wrong, but adding a TBS of veggie oil for the gravy vs a TBS of olive oil is functionally the same. The taste is gonna get lost anyway so it’s more about the extra fat content for the roux. This deserved at least a 90 overall.
