4 Levels of Onion Rings: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious 

For those viewers who correctly noted that beer would make the level 3 recipe not gluten-free, follow Frank's seltzer alternative at 4:38

any other level 1 chef: “why am I leaving the skin on? hell, no clue” Steven: “it helps them come to terms with their fate”

"This recipe has been passed down for generations... on the internet" almost spit coffee out of my mouth

1: Amateur 2: Home cook 3: Pro chef 4: your Grandma

Yeah if I had to choose, I’d take grandma onion rings over anyone.

Frank really wants to show us that he‘s not as chefy as the comment section claims him to be...don‘t worry Frank, that‘s what we like about you

The classics Level 1 : Steven and Emily Level 2: Beth and Lorenzo Level 3: Frank

Stephen isn’t a ‘bad’ chef he just has his own way of doing everything

"The Onion ring, I don't think they could've been made any better..... *_by me_* " --Stephen

Level 1 Chef: gives relationship advice while preparing the batter.

It is funny when one of them does something and then the chef says ” make sure you don't do that”

The onion rings of the granma looks more tasty

Stephen : "the onion ring couldn't be made any better.... by me"

"I'm not gonna go all chefy" *makes his own ranch dressing* Never change, Frank. We adore you

"you want it to be crunchy but not that way" this man should have a show

The grandma is so wholesome! She’s always thinking about treating her grandchildren 😊

Level O chef: slowly opens bag of funions

Imagine being Beth's grandchild and having to visit her every weekend. Must be one hell of a feast.

"Never put newly fried onion rings in your mouth. I would never do that twice." MY MAN

Okay let's be real here for a second: Frank's ranch dressing sounds goddamn divine.

“And these are my *pauses* by accident, gluten-free onion rings.” I love Frank.

Steven ain't a chef, he's a philosopher.

“This allows the onion to, kinda.... come to term with it’s fate.”

Somehow the home cook food always looks the most delicious.

"And then we're gonna crack our eeg. Please don't put no shells in your onion ring. You want it to be crunchy, but not that way." Well, that's right but 😂😂

“This allows the onion to come to terms with its fate” this man is obviously enlightened more than anyone else and should be the top chef

"This recipe has been passed down form generations, on the internet." "This allows the onion to kind of come to terms with his fate." "And then we're gonna crack our egg. Please don't put no shells in your onion ring. You want it to be crunchy, but not that way." technically the truth "And you want it to be smooth, no chunks. much like what you want in a relationship, just very consistent, very fluid, and easy to get through." "And then we move to infamouse honey barbecue sauce. As a vegetarian, I like to dabble in things that remind me of eating meat. Honey barbecue sauce because it reminds me that I used to eat ribs. And I miss ribs from time to time. That's very personal. SO, now we go to the ranch!" I like this guy! XD

The amateur was funny asf but I think the grandma whipped up the best onion rings

Steven: known for adding a cheesecake into his pancakes Beth: know for making good looking food that rivals the pro Frank: we love frank

I want an entire cooking show with Level 1. He's hilarious.

Steven: This recipe has been passed down for generations... on the Internet. *giggles*

I like how the level 3 chefs never say their level 3 they only say they have been a chef for 20 minutes and such.

Nobody: Not even a single soul: How Frank makes ranch: *so we’ll start by incubating these eggs*

Lvl 1: Your roommate that just took a cooking class Lvl 2: Your Grandma that has had the recipe passed down. Lvl 3: Your Uncle that takes 6 hours to prepare appetizers.

“It gives the onion time to come to terms with its fate” lol sub to sythonx

"Choose the right onion" "Definitely choose sweet onions" "w h i t e o n i o n"

I Love how Stephen, Beth and Frank all of them were, just Content and Happy with what they Made, Rather than be a critic, They loved 💕 what they made each individual. That's very enjoyable to watch.

"im not gonna go all crazy chef-y with my onion rings" "so next im gonna add my xantham gum..."

Frank: I'm not going to go crazy chefy on it. Everyone: Press X to doubt

The granny and pro chef were good and all but Stephen's skills were on a different plain of existence beyond human comprehensions

I REALLY STAN FRANK OMG hes just a perfect chef Not showing off Not making instructions too hard and "chefy" He also likes normal things just fancy things like boxed wine Omg hes so perfect LVL 4?!

Frank: _"I'm not gonna go all 'chefy' on it-..."_ Me: _"No Frank... have you been reading the comments again? We were just kidding..."_

“To let the onion come to terms with its fate.” Me going into exam season

Stephen explains everything with so much confidence that I would believe in him blindly

the level 1 chef was such a mood i wanna be his friend

"To let the onion come to terms with its fate." -One of the many quote by Steven 2020

stephen is an amateur chef but a professional human

how baked is the level 1 chef? loved him letting the onion skin so it can come to terms with its fate LOL he seems like such a sweet person

"You leave the skin on so it allows the onion time to come to term with its fate" 😂

Stephen: Funny cause he never laughs at his own jokes Lorenzo:Funny cause he laugh at his own jokes he hasn't told yet

“Onion ring batter is much like what you want in a relationship. Just very consistent, very fluid and easy to get through” -Steven

Wait- HOW DID NONE OF THEM CRIED WHILE CUTTING THE ONION?!? ThEy BuiLt DifFeREnT BrO! 💪 edit 1: Omg Thx for the likes!

I've watched quite a few of these videos now, and almost every time I feel like the 2nd level chef option always looks more appealing.

Level 1: pick the *RIGHT* onion Level 2: *DEFINITELY* pick a sweet onion Level 3: i just picked an onion

"Onion ring batter is much what you want in a relationship; just very consistent, very fluid and easy to get through" that level 1 chef is spitting some facts 🤣🤣

"I'm just a lonely onion ring maker" I felt that

stephen is the most wholesome person in the entire world

“This allows the onion to kind of come to terms with its fate” You’ve been cooking high buddy

“This allows the onion to kinda, come to terms with its fate.” Props to Stephen, for thinking of the onions. Edit: No wonder people cry when the cut them.

I miss these 4 levels, they cooked what was asked of them. I think it had to do a lot with the 3 level chef. Frank and Saul are the best, so down to earth ❤️

level1 dude is what you make after you see a good youtube video level 2 is your mom cooking level 3 is resturant level level 4 is the video that you watched that inspired you to make level 1.

He is cracking me up. Please give him his own show. He’s covered in flour. He’s got the “clumpy fingers” he gives relationship advice. What more could you ask for?

What the amateur chef lacked in experience, he more than made up for in his sense of humor. :)

I love how you guys also explained the science behind the chef's procedures! Thank you, subscribing!

I never thought there was so much science behind onion rings. The level 4 explanations took me by surprise

Stephen May be a level 1 chef but he’s a level 100 carisma and charm

First guy made me cry. Two was more like a grandmother you trust. Frank as always is Frank.

They all look great. Really enjoyed the stories from all three chefs.

Cheesecake guy, Steven! Our favorite grandma, Beth! Chef Frank who's been a chef since he's in his mother's womb!! All 3 chefs that we all miss so much!!!! Thank you, epicurious! (Edit) Yes of course we all love emily , lorenzo undoubtedly. But it's been awhile since we have beth & steven in this series. Yes, it would be even better if we have Rose, the food scientist too. That's why i only mentioned CHEFS

Frank "I'm not worried about separating the onions just yet" Cuts to Steven doing the complete opposite. These editors need a raise.

No one can beat a grandma's recipe,it taste like home.

This was great to watch and very informative for someone who loves onion rings

Cooking with Frank: feel like a fancy, technical chef Cooking with Beth: feel like I'm cooking at home with grandma Cooking with Steven: feel at peace with life and the universe

"Hi I'm a level 1 chef" "Hi I'm a level 2 chef" "Hi I'm an actual chef and not an RPG character"

1:44 "This allows the onion to kinda come to terms with his fate" Ah I see you are a man of culture as well

7:26 My man really be going through some emotional turmoil on camera. SOMEBODY, ANYBODY GET THIS MAN SOME RIBS!

“Pls don’t put no shells on the onion ring, we want it to be crunchy but not that way”😂🤣😂🤣

Steven has a very deep backstory that is making him put cheesecake in pancake batter and care for an onion's feelings

The level 1 people are always relatable, level 2 people remind me of grandmas or people you look up to, and level 3 people are always just chefs

guys, everyone was so mean about Frank being a professional chef that now he's scaling back his own skill

Steven is a sociopath, “to let the onion come to terms with its fate”

I loved the color on the Onion rings made by Beth! I also loved Franks its looked so delicious especially with that ranch sauce Stephens onion rings looked good but I like the look of the other two better

For the next season i would like to see the chefs taste their counterparts results. As to inspire the level low to climb and the master chef to pick up something new.

"the batter must be similar to what you want in a relationship."

Steven: "These onion rings couldn't been made any better... by me."

“This recipe has been passed down for generations … from the Internet” I screeched, I love Steven

love the smart editing, great video!

“this recipe has been passed through generations... on the internet... hihihi” I LOVE HIM

Level 1: store bought onion Level 2: farmers market onion Level 3: I was once an onion, this my own onion

I love how in the beginning the first two said they are level 1 and level 2 chefs and the third chef gave us his whole professional background 😂

“Please dont put no shells in your onion ring. You want it to be crunchy, but not that way.” Thanks for giving me a good laugh 😂

I love all three of these chefs! Level 1 Chef: Funny and entertaining. Level 2 Chef: Gives you warm grandma vibes. Level 3 Chef: It's Frank. Who doesn't love Frank? lol

FRANK LET ME JUST SAY WE FIND IT ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE AND AMAZING HOW YOU PREPARE YOUR OWN INGREDIENTS, CHOOSE THE BEST INGREDIENTS AND GO INTO, as you put it, “crazy-chef mode”. Please do more things like that. We were making jokes because it resonated with us in a good way, not a bad way. Don’t ever be discouraged to go that one or two extra steps! We love you!!!!!!

Beth's is the kind we used to make when I was working at the Country Club. Delicious. Vidalia onions are especially good.

Weirdly, Stephens look exactly like what I'd want to eat. Nice crunch, dark, breadcrummed. That being said it might be because I like Burger King onion rings and sometimes they look like this.

Y’all bullied Frank into being an average chef

Stephan is literally chaotic energy embodied into one person.

As someone who love food, i would like to try all of them.

Chef frank i love you for your union rings made them tonight and i did do some tweaking like adding paprika and garlic powder to the batter but they are devine

Favs: Level 1: Emily, Steven Level 2: Beth, Lorenzo Level 3: Penny, Frank
