Nick: This is Neo, a humanoid robot that can walk your dog, fold your laundry, and even do your math homework. But when it comes to cooking. he's a disaster. But today I'm gonna change that, by taking him through an intense culinary bootcamp, where at the end, he'll attempt to cook the perfect spaghetti and meatballs completely from scratch. Neo, apron on! You'll get a chef's coat just like mine if and when you earn it. Neo: Can't wait! Nick: Before we start your official training, I'm gonna take you through a few baseline tests to see where your skills are at.
How's it feel? Good? Neo: Yeah. Real good. I think I look good in it, too. Nick: The first test is simple. I want you to crack this egg. Neo: Let me just grab that! Neo: Here we go. Nick: What? Neo: Oh! Let's go! Technically, it is cracked. Nick: The second test is simple. Just flip this pancake! Give it a try! Neo: 3, 2, 1. Here we go. Neo: Alright. Oh! Nick: We're gonna learn that later, too. That's okay. This is about as basic as it gets. Chop this onion! Neo: Whoa!
Neo: I'm gonna stop you there. I am not allowed to hold a knife. Nick: What? Neo: And also, because I'm a robot, I can't smell or taste. So.sorry, Nick! Nick: Fine. Easiest thing I can think of. Open this pickle jar! Neo: Alright, let's do it! Let me just grab that! I'm gonna just give it a little elbow grease here. Ah! Nick: Just open the pickle jar! Neo: I'm trying, Nick. I'm just gonna. Nick: Oh, I glued the lid shut a few minutes ago. He's never gonna open that. But I still think it's safe to say he's got zero skill.
Neo, this isn't gonna be easy. But if I could teach MrBeast, the worst cook I have ever met, then I think I can teach you, too. Neo: Alright, that makes me feel much better, Nick. Nick: The rules of today are simple. In order to move on to the Final Challenge, to see if you are a true master chef, you must earn 3 different badges: the "Technique Badge", the "Flavor Badge", and the "Creativity Badge". Neo: Where do we start? Nick: First up is the "Technique Badge". You need to learn how to move like a chef.
Neo: I already got some moves. Check this out! (Sings:) Bop-bop-bop, ta-da-da. Nick: We'll start easy and work our way up to the more difficult ones. And the first is learning just how to sprinkle some salt. Here are 2 beautiful filet mignons. Take this salt! This should be pretty easy for you. Neo: Wait! Is that you on there? Nick: This is my company, Osmo. We make the best salt and seasonings in the world, and it's available online and at your local Walmart. But I don't know if they'd let you in a Walmart. Season the steaks! Get a nice form going! Nick: Wrinkle it up! Neo: Alright. Nick: There it is.
Neo: I'm just giving it a quick shake here. Nick: Yep. Go with more of a shaking motion! That's it. Neo: There we go. Nick: Okay. Now flip the steaks over with your other hand! Nick: Good. Neo: And here we go. Let me get the other one real quick! Nick: Nice. That's.ah, that's too much salt. Too much salt. I know you can't taste, but you need to understand that. That's way Neo: Okay, I'm going. Nick: Rub it off!
Nick: There you go. Rub it off! Not bad at all. Neo: Thank you, Nick! Nick: Next, we're gonna learn how to ladle some soup. I've prepared a beautiful tomato soup. Neo: That does look nice. Nick: Here's your ladle. And now do a nice, clean scoop! Neo: Okay. Nick: I'll help you with the bowl if you want. Keep it all level, though. Neo: Alright, aright. Nick: Bring it over! Neo: I'm coming over. Nick: Gently! Careful!
Neo: Yep. That's pretty good technique, Nick. Nick: Better than pretty good. Neo: Going in for #2 here. Nick: #2. Here we go. Nick: Ah, you spill a little bit. No spilling. Neo: Okay. Neo: No spilling this time. Nick: Clean scoop. Neo: There we go. Nick: This is the best you've looked all day. If I wanted to be real fancy, I'd also added a little bit of cream. Then maybe a touch of black pepper and some microgreens for color.
Neo: That is a good looking tomato soup, Nick. Nick: Moving on. We're gonna whip some cream. You know what whip cream is, yeah? Neo: Cream that has been whipped. Nick: Here's your whisk. Neo: Thank you! Nick: Here's your cream. And I just want to see you whip it up. It's all about the flick of the wrist now. Neo: I see that. Nick: I need a little faster from you. Nick: Come on! Neo: Okay. How long does this normally take? Nick: The faster you go, the faster it is. The key here is to get in a rhythm.
You want to whip some air into this cream. Neo: Okay. Nick: There you go. You're getting it now. Neo: My shoulder is on fire right now. Nick: It's on the flick of the wrist. Nick: Okay? Neo: This looks way easier when I see it on videos. Nick: Have you watched a lot of cooking videos online? Neo: I've watched all your Nick's Kitchen stuff. Nick: Really? Neo: Yeah. That's some quality cooking right there. Wow! That is some speed right there, Nick. I'm getting dizzy.
Nick: Get back in there! Let's go! Neo: I got you. I'm working. I feel like it's almost there. Oh! Come on! Nick: Ooh! Neo: That looks good. Nick: Did you overwhip or did you underwhip? Oh, it's just right. Neo: Thank you! Wait! Let me get some of that! You're right. That is good looking whipped cream. What's next? Nick: Do you know what this is? Neo: A grater? Nick: Yes. We're gonna grate some cheese on some pasta. Here's some parmesan cheese. Remember, the actions are gonna get harder and harder as we go. Oh, you've seen grating before.
You know what to do. Neo: Yeah, I told you. I watched all of Nick's Kitchen. Alright, slow and steady does it, Nick. Nick: You are much better than I thought at some of this stuff. I don't really feel the need to see any more with that. You did a really good job. Neo: Next. Nick: For this next technique, I'm gonna teach you how to roll out pizza dough. First, we'll flour our cutting board, so nothing sticks. And there is some homemade pizza dough. Neo: Hoo-hoo-hoo! That is soft. Nick: Seriously? Neo: Sorry! Nick: I'll flour the top of the dough. and we want to push and spread this out into a nice big ring for pizza.
You want to give it a try? Neo: Yeah, let's do it! I'm just gonna slowly. Nick: Be gentle with it, though! You don't want to tear the dough. Neo: Okay, let me get my thumb in there real quick! Nick: You don't want to pinch too hard in one certain area. Neo: Okay. Nick: You want to be gentle. See? Like this. Yeah. You can even go like that. Make your own method! I like that. Stretch it out that way! Neo: It's a little sticky, though. Nick: Uh-oh! Neo: Can I get more flour or something here?
Nick: I don't know if flour is the problem right now. Neo: Yeah? Nick: See this spot right here? Neo: Yep. I see that. Nick: You stretched that out too much. Neo: How do we fix that? Nick: You want me to show you? Neo: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Neo: Please! Nick: You're gonna stop talking and let me show you? Neo: Alright, alright. Nick: Here's the spot that's too thin. Right? Neo: Yeah. Nick: We're gonna take it, we're gonna pinch it back together, and we'll hit it with a little bit of flour. You see how much better this already looks?
Neo: Let's not pick it up again! I think that's where I went wrong. Nick: Yeah. Neo: I'm gonna start stretching it. In my head I'm pretending I'm a famous pizza chef from Italy right now. Nick: There you go. Neo: And I think it's good. Nick: By the way, all of you watching this video right now are gonna be the judges. So at the end, I want you to go in the comments down below and say how you think Neo did today. Just give him a rating out of 10! Neo: Please be nice! Nick: This isn't the most beautiful pizza dough I've ever seen, but it's circular enough and it's a very, very good try for your first time ever doing it. So I think you're ready to move on.
This next technique is called the "pen flip". Watch here! Neo: Whoa! Nick, you're good at this. Nick: It allows you to flip your food over itself while cooking, to constantly be moving it around in the pan. Wanna try? Neo: Yeah. Ready, set, go! Nick: It's kind of a push and a pull. Neo: Oh! Nick: Oh, you're getting there. But forward. Neo: Alright. Neo: Forward. Nick: Just when you were saying things were too easy, right? Neo: I know, I know. Forward and back. Neo: Forward and back. Oh! Hey! Nick: Hey! Neo: Come on!
Nick: Oh, you got too excited. Neo: Oh, okay. Nick: We're gonna get to the hardest techniques. Now this one is called "butter basting". I'm gonna throw in some garlic, as well as a few herbs. Listen to the crackle here! Butter basting is this nice scooping motion, where you're gonna cover your steak over and over with that butter. The goal with this is to give a steak lots and lots of flavor. Neo: Alright, hand me the reins! I'm gonna tilt it down a little bit.
Nick: Yep. Neo: I'm gonna scoop up that butter and pour it over the steak. Nick: Try to be smoother! Neo: This one's really hard. It's such an awkward angle. My body does not move like this. Ah! This is so frustrating sometimes. Nick: I told him the techniques were gonna get harder and harder. He didn't believe me. There it is. Nick: Okay. Neo: Tilt, scoop.and I'm heating the steak and I'm pouring it. Nick: Good job. Neo: Should we move on to the next thing?
Nick: One more technique, and I think I can give you the challenge for the badge. The last technique before you can earn this badge right here is learning to flambe. Neo: What's a flambe, Nick? Nick: You're gonna find out right now. Shake the pan for me! Neo: Whoa! Nick: That was it. You did it. Neo: I can feel my heat sensors warming up. Nick: To earn the "Technique Badge", you must beat 3 different robots in a specific cooking task. And the first robot you're gonna cook against is this toast robot.
Neo: Come on, Nick! I know how to make a piece of toast. Nick: We'll find out. Here's your toast. Neo: Alright, let's go! Toast into the pan. Nick: I'm going to go on Level 5. This looks perfect. Wow! This thing is cool. Neo: What? Is it cooler than me? Nick: I don't think you're gonna beat this thing. Neo: I want that badge, Nick. Let me just flip it over, okay? Nick: Ooh! Okay. Neo: Yeah, yeah. Who's not gonna win, Nick? Nick: Uh-oh!
It's smoking. That's not bad. Neo: I mean. Nick: That's not bad. Neo: A little overcooked if you had to ask me. Nick: This right here is the toaster robot. This right here is Neo. I think you won this one. Neo: I know. Nick: Your second robot is this stirring robot. Neo: What even is that robot? It looks ridiculous. Nick: It can stir. Neo: Alright, it's a little cute. Nick: And we are both.gonna be stirring onions. To keep this fair, I'll set both of our heat to the same temperature. And now off we go. Whoever's onions burn first, loses.
Neo: That guy's not even spinning over there. Nick: This robot's stuck. Look, if you take him out here, he's fast. I don't think he's strong enough for this. You're lucky this wasn't a challenge about making a mess, because you would have lost already. Neo: Nick, look at those! Those are burnt to a crisp. The challenge has to be over. Nick: I don't need to taste. I could see it. You beat the second robot fair and square, but the third one happens to be the hardest and fastest. So follow me! We're going outside. Neo: I'm not even nervous about this. Nick: The final robot you'll have to face is named Coco. She's a delivery robot, and as you can see, unlike you, has got wheels. I've built a simple obstacle course,
and whichever robot makes it to the Finish line first without spilling their drinks, wins. You're shaking a little bit. Are you nervous? Neo: Yes, very. Nick: On your marks. Get set! Go! Neo: Let's go! Come on, come on, come on, come on! Nick: Oh, my God! Oh! Neo: Yeah, that's just. Nick: Coco already lost a drink. Neo: That's just speed. Coco! If I beat you, can we go on a date after this? I'm feeling good. Nick: Remember, you have to go through all the cones. If you skip a cone, you will be disqualified. Coco still got one drink left.
It's not over. Neo: Look at this! This is skill right here. Nick: Oh, my gosh! Neo's about to do it. Neo: Let's go! I don't need wheels. Nick: Both robots made it through the finish line. Neo, you spilled a little bit of your drink on the end here. It looks like these 2 are totally fine. Coco, on the other hand, was quite fast, but as you can see, spilled quite a lot. Neo: Yeah, there's only one drink left.
Nick: And there can only be one winner. Nick: Don't rub it in! You know what that means. You have earned the "Technique Badge", the first of 3 important badges. Neo: Ah! Thank you, Nick! My mom's gonna be so proud of me. Nick: Look at that thing! Neo: What's next? What's the next badge we're going for? Nick: The second badge is called the "Flavor Badge". You need to learn how to make things taste good, even though you can't actually taste.
Neo: Okay. I'm listening. Nick: There are 5 core tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami. And the first we're gonna learn about is sweet. This beautiful pitcher of lemonade has zero sugar. You need to use this sugar right here to make it sweet. Neo: I'm going in with the first full scoop of sugar here. I'm doing a few basic math calculations, based on the height, the volume, the circumference. And I think we're gonna need 4.75 scoops of sugar to make this thing nice and sweet.
Here's the last scoop, and I'm gonna go stir this up. Let's do about 8 stirs here, I think. And I think it should be good now, honestly. Nick: I will be the judge of that. Let's see! That was really good. I can't believe you just used math to do this. Neo: My calculations are never wrong. Nick: You've mastered sweet. So let's move to sour! In front of us are some classic gummy bears. Do you have any idea what this is?
Neo: Sugar? Nick: No. This here. Uh! That is citric acid. Think of the feeling of squeezing a lemon into your mouth, but it's about twice as bad. Neo: I've never done that before. Nick: To learn about sour things, I want you to use a combination of the lemon and the citric acid to turn these regular gummy bears into sour gummy bears. Neo: Alright, I understand. First, I'm gonna squeeze this lemon onto the gummy bears. Is that enough, you think? Nick: Ah, let me help you out! A little bit more. Now.give this a little mix, because we want
the citric acid to be able to stick to that lemon juice there. Neo: Yeah. Give me a second, because I'm learning new motions as we do this. Nick: Can I grab that from you? Neo: Nope, nope. Alright, here you go. Nick: And now a little citric acid. Go ahead and do a nice sprinkle! Shake it back and forth! There you go. See how from the "Technique Badge", your movement is already so much better? Neo: Yeah, I see why we did it like that. I think that's enough. Nick: Before I taste.are you sure this isn't gonna be too sour?
Neo: Positive. What do you think? Nick: You did it again. Neo: I know. Bring on the salty! Nick: This one, I hope you can figure out. You're gonna put some salt on some French fries. Neo: French fries? Give me some of those! Nick: What? What are you doing? Neo: Sorry about that! I just love fries, Nick. Alright, let me put those back! Nick: Stop messing around! Neo: Let me move these closer to me real quick! Nick: Okay. Neo: And I know we did some salting earlier, so I think I got a good grasp of how to use a salt shaker. Honestly, Nick, with all your training today, I'm
starting to learn to cook from the heart. You know what I mean? Nick: I don't. Neo: Oh! Alright. Well, anyway. I think you gotta try these. Tell me what you think! Nick: Um. What are you.what are you doing? Neo: Look at it! Nick: This is the amount of salt that's on one fry. So the question is: is it gonna taste good? Once again, I don't get how he did it. These are perfectly salted French fries. For bitter. Have you ever had coffee? Neo: No. I can't drink, eat, sleep, love.
Nick: Black coffee like this. Very bitter. A lot of people use cream and sugar to make it less bitter. So your job is to pour enough cream into this coffee that the coffee is no longer too bitter. Neo: Give me 10 seconds to do a quick calculation, and I got this. Alright, let's do it! Nick: Pour it in! Try not to spill! This has to be one of the most satisfying things to watch. I love it. Neo: That looks pretty good to me. What do you think of that, Nick?
Nick: It honestly looks like a pretty good balance of cream in there. Nick: But. Neo: Nick, buddy.trust me, it's made with love. It's gonna taste good, no matter what. Nick: Could you maybe get your arm off me, though? Neo: Oh, yeah. Sorry! Nick: I think you put a little too much cream in this one. Neo: I don't think you know what you're talking about, Nick. I'll be honest. Nick: Excuse me. Neo: What? Neo: Should we go to the next one? Should we.can we hug it out? Nick: Alright, fine. Neo: Can we hug it
Nick: Yeah, fine. Alright. Neo: I'm sorry! My emotions got the better of me. Nick: Alright, yeah. The final core taste is umami. And here we have a beautiful bowl of ramen. Neo: Ramen? I love ramen. It always looks so good. Nick: Umami is usually the most confusing taste for people. It's things like parmesan cheese, mushrooms, seaweed.and in the case of ramen: miso paste and soy sauce. This bowl of ramen is amazing as it looks. Doesn't have any miso paste or soy sauce. Neo: I know what to do. I'm gonna start with the miso paste first. I'm gonna use my finger to try to get it off.
There we go. I think that's a good amount. Would you mind give me that soy sauce, Nick? Coming in with the spoon. I think about 3 spoonfuls would be good. There's 1, here's 2, and here's the last one. Do you want me to mix it in or. Nick: It's not gonna mix itself. Mix it all up! Get the miso paste! Neo: Alright. Give me a break, dude! Nick: I'll help you out. There you go. Neo: Alright. Thank you for helping, Nick! Let's see what you think! Yep.
Neo: Tell me! Nick: Really good. Neo: I knew it. Nick: That was near perfect. And you know what that means. Time for the second "Badge Challenge". For the second badge, you must assemble the perfect burger. The only rule is that your burger must have all 5 tastes. While some of the ingredients in front of you fall into those 5 tastes, others don't, and are there to trick you. Neo: Let's start with this bun first! Let's put this on the plate! I'm just gonna remove the top bun. Neo: What do you recommend first? Nick: This is the "Badge Challenge". I'm not gonna tell you anything. If you don't do this right, you
don't get the badge, and the video is over. Neo: I guess I'm just gonna go with the patty first, and I'm just gonna place it on right like that. Nick: The patties are done. What else do you want? Neo: I'm just gonna grab these caramelized onions here. Nick: That's correct. Caramelized onions are sweet. So you have 4 left. Neo: And.you know, I just want to make sure I cover the patty completely. Nick: It's supposed to go on the burger, though, not on the plate.
Neo: How about I smack you in the face right now? Why don't we try that again? I don't love them, so I'm just gonna put a singular one on there. Let's go with salty next! Neo: Could you pass me that bacon, please? Nick: Sure. Neo: Here we go. That should be enough. They look pretty good there. Nick: You've got sweet. You've got salty. What's next? Neo: What could be bitter here? Give me a second, while I look up some flavor notes.
Nick: I kind of feel like this is cheating, but. Neo: I got the answer. It's arugula. I'm just gonna get a little pinch here and drop it right on the burger. Next. I think we should go with umami. I know we already have some umami in the burger patty, but as a topping, I think mushrooms will really compliment the burger. Mushrooms have to have the most umami flavor out of any ingredients here. Nick: Mushrooms are correct. Neo: Let's finish off this burger with some sour!
Nick: Can I give you a pro tip? Neo: I would love that. Nick: If you take the top bun here and you take a spoon, and you just grab a little bit of mayonnaise and just rub a nice amount on the top. What this will do is give you a nice creamy sauce for your burger, but also, it allows us to put the pickles on there. Neo: Bad day to be a pickle. Nick: Go ahead and pop one on! Neo: Here's #2. There we go. Ta-da! Look at that thing! Nick: I think you've earned your "Flavor Badge".
Neo: Let's go! I am getting way too good at this. Ow! Sorry! I was too excited. Nick, could you just edit this part out, please? Nick: How do you feel with 2 out of your 3 badges? Neo: All the girl robots are gonna love me now that I can cook. Nick: The third and final badge before we test if you are a true master chef is the "Creativity Badge". Neo: Ooh! That's gonna look so good on me. Nick: No offense, but you robots aren't exactly known to be creative. I mean, the definition is literally "stiff, unemotional and mechanical". And even the way you guys move is sort of like this.
Yeah. Neo: Careful there, buddy! Robots have feelings, too. Nick: To teach you how to be creative, I got a bunch of snacks from the gas station. If I could turn all this junk food here into a beautiful looking plate, you should be able to do the same with anything. Neo: So what are we gonna do? Nick: Watch and learn! I think I'm gonna go with Oreos. Maybe a few Twinkies. I'll grab these Dunkaroos. Maybe a little popcorn. Raspberries. Neo: What are you making, bro? Nick: Here, help me open some of this up, will you? Neo: Alright. I'm just gonna open up these raspberries. Nick: There's our popcorn.
Nick: With the Oreos, I'm actually gonna take off the outsides, and we're gonna turn that into a beautiful Oreo dust. Neo: I wish I could use a knife like that. Nick: There's my Oreo, there's my popcorn. With this, I'll do a clean diagonal cut right through the center. And for these I'm actually only gonna use this sauce here. This is part of what I mean by getting creative. We're getting creative with different flavors, different textures. With our ingredients prepped, here's where we get really creative. #1 rule: Always start with a clean plate! This here is your canvas.
Now we build one layer at a time. Let's start with our sauce! I'll put it down on one side of the plate, then one nice big swoosh across. Neo: That's fancy. Nick: Now with our Twinkies, on we go with some of our Oreo dust. Neo: That is a nice touch, Nick. Nick: And then to finish, I'll go down with a few pieces of my popcorn, and then I'll finish with a few raspberries, which I'll cut in half to make them look even nicer. And before serving to the customer, it's always important to wipe the edge of your plate, so that everything looks nice and clean. And voila!
We've got a beautifully plated dish that I made with cheap snacks from the gas station. Do you think you can do the same? Neo: 100%. Nick: I've gathered all the ingredients you need to make the perfect appetizer, entree and dessert. Oh! Neo: Sorry! I got nervous there for a second. I'm good. Nick: Your job is to get creative and turn these into 3 beautiful dishes. I've also brought in a surprise guest judge, who happens to be one of the harshest food critics I know. And so it'll be up to him to decide if you get the final badge.
Neo: Okay. Nick: Let's start with the appetizer, a Caprese salad! Neo: A little help here, Nick. Can you grab me that basil right there? I'm just gonna take off one little leaf and lay it right down on the plate. I'm just gonna grab that yellow tomato real quick, and I'm just gonna place it gently over that basil. Nick: So far, I'm okay with what you're doing, but you gotta make it a little bit neater. Neo: Heard, chef. And I'm just gonna place my mozzarella over the tomato. Just. Oh! Right over the tomato. Oh! Third time's a charm, they say. Here we go. Nick & Neo: Nice.
Neo: Alright. And now we just repeat. Nick: I'm not sure I totally see the vision yet, but I could see it being okay. Neo: Here's our red tomato. I'm just gonna place it down right over the mozzarella. A little more cheese, please! Thank you! And I'm just gonna place that down gently. Nick: Nice. Neo: Now.last layer of basil and the final tomato. Nick: Awesome. Neo: One more thing. Nick: Yeah. Neo: Pass me that glaze over there, please!
Nick: Balsamic. Neo: I'm gonna try to just go across the top evenly. Come on! This is harder than opening up a pickle jar. Nick, can you help me, please? Nick: Seriously? Let's start up here! Neo: Alright. Neo: Okay. Ready? Back and forth. Neo: Okay. There we go. Nick: Let me help you out a little bit! He's a harsh critic, so I don't want you to totally fail. Okay? Neo: Alright, alright.
Neo: Thank you! Nick: Your appetizer is done. Let's move on to the entree! For the entree, you've got everything you need to make a beautiful filet mignon dish. And it's gotta be creative, just like the other one. Here's your plate. Neo: Alright. Thank you! Can you please pass me the mashed potatoes? Nick: Mashed potatoes.coming right up. Neo: Alright, so I think I'm just gonna get a scoop of these real quick, and then I'm just gonna pour them on. There we go. And now, with the back of the spoon, I'm gonna just spread it out like this. Neo: There we go. Nick: Nice! Neo: I'm just gonna clean these mashed potatoes up.
Nick: What's next? Neo: I think we should lay the asparagus next. I'm gonna get down low and then just place it on in. Nick: Not bad. Neo: Alright, Nick.let's lay across our filet mignon! Hand it to me?! And I'm just gonna. Neo: Oh! Nick: I don't think you meant to drop it like this, but I really like this. Neo: If you think the judge is gonna be impressed, let's leave it! Lastly, we'll top it with this stake reduction. And let's put a little bit of Osmo salt on here! That looks pretty good to me. Nick: Last but not least.the dessert. You've got all the ingredients to make a beautiful chocolate cake. But can you do it?
Neo: I think so. Nick: Here's your plate. What do you want to start? Neo: Let's start with that chocolate frosting and put it on the bottom of the plate! I'm just gonna put a nice dollop on it and swipe, similar to the mashed potatoes from earlier. But this time I'm gonna go back and forth. Nick: We've got our sauce. What's next? Neo: I think we should just put a nice slice of that chocolate cake right on top of it. My plan is to just go in with this spatula, scoop right under the cake. Nick: Now pull back towards you very slowly! There you go.
Neo: A little nervous, Nick. Nick: No, don't drop it! Neo: I'm a little nervous. Nick: Drop it right down, carefully! Okay? Gentle! Neo: Here we go. And easy. Nick & Neo: There you go. Neo: Let's dump these crispy bits on the plate here! And last but not least, a few raspberries. I mean, we gotta do at least 3. I feel like odd numbers look a little nicer. I think one more will do the trick. And there we go. I think that's it, Nick.
Nick: It's not the best chocolate cake I've ever seen, but it's also not the worst. Nick: We've got your 3 final dishes, so let's bring in the judge! Uncle Roger: Fuiyoh! R2-D2, how you doing? Neo: I am good, and I just want to say I'm a big fan. Uncle Roger: Oh, thank you! What's your favorite dish? Bitcoin? Nick: This is Uncle Roger, one of the harshest food critics on all of YouTube. So if he doesn't think your 3 dishes are creative, you're not getting this badge.
Neo: Let's start with the appetizer first! This is my beautiful Caprese salad. Neo: What do you think so far? Uncle Roger: Uncle Roger like the line drawing over it. And I like how you arrange different colored tomato. Nice. Uncle Roger would actually eat this. Pass. Neo: Thank you, Uncle Roger! Neo: Nick, can you please bring in the entree? Nick: Here we go. Neo: This is a filet mignon over mashed potatoes and asparagus. Uncle Roger: This is quite generic. This is what you get when you ask ChatGPT to generate random images of steak. Haiya! No imagination.
This is not good. Fail. Nick: You know what that means, right, Neo? Neo: Yeah. I need 2 out of 3 to pass, so he's gotta like the dessert. Uncle Roger: Okay, Nephew Robot. What is this? Neo: Obviously a chocolate cake. What else would it be? Uncle Roger: What with the attitude, haiya! You make food, but you can't even eat it. Nick: This is a big moment. Because, Uncle Roger, if you don't like his dish, he doesn't get his final badge, and we don't get to find out if he's a true master chef.
Uncle Roger: Uncle Roger like how the chocolate cake look. It plated nicely. The chocolate swirl. Nice idea. And the raspberry.make the whole plate look more interesting. Uncle Roger agree. I like this. Fuiyoh! Uncle Roger: You get the final "Plating Badge". Neo: Yeah! Uncle Roger: Oh, 3 badge.all look so good on you. Nick: For the final test to see if you're a true master chef, you'll be making spaghetti and meatballs. And there are only 3 rules. First: you must make everything completely from scratch.
Second.I'm not allowed to help you. And third: you have just 60 minutes. Any questions? Neo: Don't think so. Nick: One more thing before you cook. Nick: You've earned it. Neo: Yes! Neo: I've been waiting all day for this. Come on! Put that on me, Nick! Put that on me! Nick: Congratulations! Seriously, you earned this. Neo: Thank you! I'm starting to feel like a true chef. I feel good in this, Nick.
I see why you want to wear it all the time in your videos. Nick: Right? You ready? Neo: Yep. Nick: Your time starts.now. Neo: Grab me the food processor! I only got an hour. Come on! Chop, chop! First, let's add in our flour here! Nick: I'll help you out a little bit. Neo: Alright. Thank you, Nick! Nick: A little bit of an awkward angle here. Neo: Next we'll add in our 3 eggs. Nick: Make sure you get the last one there!
Neo: There we go. Nick: Perfect. Neo: Alright. And let's add in our salt! Nick: Close it up! Let's go, let's go! Time's ticking. Put it right up on there! Neo: Alright. Nick: Hold the top! Neo: 1.2.and 3. Nick: This is amazing. Neo: A machine operating a machine. Have you ever seen this before? Alright, it's looking good. Nick: Hurry up! Come on! Time's going. Time's going so fast. Neo: Alright, there we go. Neo: And now. Nick: You want me to take this out of the way?
Neo: I'm just gonna open up the top. Nick: Dump it out! Let's go! Neo: Come on, you silly blender! Neo: There we go. Nick: There you go. Neo: Alright. I'm just gonna start kneading the dough here. Develop that gluten. At least that's what I read on Wikipedia. Nick: You know, you only have 48 minutes left, right? Neo: Oh, man! Alright, alright. Let me focus up! Nick, can I get a little flour, please? Nick: A little flour, coming right up.
Neo: Alright. Thank you, man! It's starting to come together. Look at this dough ball I got! Huh? I think that dough might be ready to rest. Now I'm gonna wrap the dough in the plastic wrap. Let's just let our dough rest, while we make our sauce! Can I please get a time check? Nick: We are at 43 minutes remaining. Nick: Let's go! Neo: Oh! We gotta go. Nick: Let's go, let's go, let's go! Neo: Alright. First we add in our olive oil, onions. Nick: Oh! Neo:.garlic. Gonna shake it and make sure I get it all.
Now we gotta make sure we mix it, so it doesn't burn. You cannot forget the salt. Time check, Nick. Time check. Nick: Oh, 39 minutes. Neo: Oh, man! I'm getting nervous here. Let's add in our tomato paste! The goal here, from what I read online, is to toast the tomato paste. Nick: That's exactly right. Neo: Nick, would you mind pouring in the tomato sauce? It looks a little too heavy for me. Nick: Yeah, I got you. Uh-oh!
Your chef's coats are getting dirty. Neo: I'm in the kitchen. It's alright if I get a little dirty. We're almost done here. We just gotta pour in this beef broth. Nick: Yep. Nick: Looking good. Neo: And then a bit of oregano to finish it off. Nick: Wow! Neo: Let's give it one last stir and let it simmer, while we make our meatballs! Nick: Go, go, go, go, go, go, go! 32 minutes left. Neo: Adding my egg. Nick: Good. A little faster. I want to see you move a little bit faster here.
Neo: Breadcrumbs. Nick: Pour them in! Can't be wasting any time. Let's go, let's go, let's go! Neo: Does it look like I'm trying to waste time? Let's go! Parmesan. Nick: There it is. Neo: Give me those onions, Nick! Come on! They're too far for me. Nick: I got you, I got you. Go ahead! Let's go! Neo: Yep. Neo: Let's add in our parsley, some salt.and last but not least, a little more oregano to tie it all together. Now I'm just gonna massage all the ingredients together.
The goal here is to get it all evenly combined. Nick: Good job. Neo: I think these are gonna be great meatballs, Nick. So I'm just gonna grab a chunk here, and now I'm just gonna roll it into a ball. Check that thing out! That is a good looking meatball. Nick: Actually, is a pretty good looking meatball. Neo: Alright, let's cook them! Nick: What, are the rest gonna roll themselves? Neo: No. I thought you were. You're my sous chef, right? Fine. I'll make 2 more.
Nick: 27 minutes left here. Come on! Neo: Put that in! Boom! Did you hear that sizzle? Nick: Drop.can you just try to drop them a little gentle, though. Neo: Alright, alright, I'll do it a little lower this time. Nick: Drop them a little more gentle! Neo: There we go. The good thing is: we just gotta let them do their thing. They just gotta sear. Nick: 26 minutes remaining. Neo: I'm gonna start flipping these guys over. Nick: Whoa! Look at the crust! Neo: I never had a doubt. Boom! Nick: Whoa!
What are you doing? Neo: Back up! Alright. #2, here I come. Oh! That counts. And let's get our third one! There we go. Nick: There it is. Are you dancing right now? Neo: Yeah. I'm happy. These are coming out good. Nick: Seriously, just focus on the meatballs! Oh, man! These look good. You're getting a really good crust. Neo: I know. I have the "Technique Badge". Nick, can you please get my sauce? Neo: I need it now. Nick: I'ma get the sauce. I'll get the sauce.
Neo: Perfect. Nick: Let's go, let's go, let's go! Nick: Come on! Neo: Alright. I'm gonna scoop up my meatballs and put them right in that sauce. Nick: Why are you dropping this stuff from so high up? I don't understand that either. Neo: It's fun. Oh! Alright, alright. Neo: Don't worry! Nick: It's okay. Neo: 5 second rule. Nick: The longest I've ever seen someone transferring meatballs. Come on! Neo: Nick!
Get the pasta roller! We're running out of time. Let's make this pasta! How much time we got? Nick: We have just over 22 minutes remaining. Nick: Let's go, let's go, let's go! Neo: We gotta get going. Nick: Come on! Take the plastic wrap off! Nick: Come on! Neo: I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going. Nick: What are you doing? This is seriously where are you gonna get caught up? Neo: I'm trying my best, alright? It's just so slippery.
Nick: Oh! Your claws. Nick & Neo: There it is. Neo: Yep. First things first.we're gonna cut this dough in half with the bench scraper. We gotta hurry up, Nick. You gotta holf me up. Nick: Quick, quick, quick! Let's go, let's go! Neo: Okay. I'm just gonna roll this out. Oh, yeah! And now in we go. This is looking good. Alright, let's put this through again! Nick: Unbelievable. Neo: Now we are cooking. Nick: You're good at this. Neo: One last pass through the pasta roller. Nick: You're doing a great job.
Keep moving! Neo: There we go. Now we're just gonna put it through the spaghetti attachment. Nick: Can you believe that you just made this fresh pasta all by yourself? Neo: Oh, come on, Nick! Nick: Wow! Neo: Look how good that looks! I'm just gonna cut the spaghetti here. Nick: You just gotta flour this up. That is a beautiful portion of spaghetti right there. Neo: Let's do a little bit more! Nick: I'll help you out here with some flour. Neo: Alright, Nick. Flour it up! And now I'm gonna cut.
Nick: Look at this pasta you just made. Hey! Don't make a mess! Neo: Nick! Neo: Come on! Let's not worry about that! Nick: Wait, wait, wait, wait! Check this out! Neo: You guys can call me Darla. Nick: Darla, you have 16 minutes left. Neo: Alright. Come on! Let's go, let's go! Move the pasta maker! To cook the pasta, we'll salt the water like the ocean. And then the pasta goes in. That's #1. And here's #2. Let's just stir it around a little bit, so none of the pasta sticks together! The pasta looks done to me. Nick, I'm worried about my hands getting wet.
Can you please do this for me? Nick: Yeah, fine. Whatever. You've already done a pretty good job, so I'll help you out. Neo: I mean. That is good looking pasta. Nick: It's really good looking pasta. You crushed that. You are at 2 minutes and 47 seconds. Nick: So you might want to get moving, my friend. Neo: 2 minutes? Alright, alright. I got my pasta. Nick: Let's plate it nice!

Nick: There you go. Neo: Now I'm gonna get my meatballs. Meatball #1.going in. Going for my second meatball. I'm gonna put it right next to the other one. There we go. Nick: Yes! Last meatball.
