Binging with Babish Tries to Keep Up with a Professional Chef | Back-to-Back Chef | Bon Appétit - Summary

Summary

Molly and Andrew, from "Binging with Babish", are participating in a cooking challenge where they have 20 minutes to prepare a Jean Georges-inspired dish using an ostrich egg, without seeing each other. They are guided by verbal instructions only. The dish involves cracking open the ostrich egg, whisking the contents, cooking it in a skillet, and serving it in the eggshell with whipped cream and salmon roe. Throughout the process, they engage in witty banter and humorous remarks. Once they complete the dish, they reveal their creations to each other and taste the finished product. However, they both find the dish unappetizing, with Andrew expressing his dislike for ostrich eggs and Molly disliking the combination of flavors. They conclude the challenge by toasting to never cooking with ostrich eggs again and enjoying the champagne.
