We challenged chefs of three different skill levels – an amateur, a home cook, and a professional – to make a pot of chili. Once each was simmered to perfection, we asked a food scientist to review their work. Whose chili earned top marks? Find out on this episode of 4 Levels.

  1. Havent watched this channel in awhile. Emily growth is so amazing. I feel like a proud uncle seeing her not need tomatoe sauce on top of the chilli 😂😅

  2. I love me a white chicken chili I wish someone woulda done that it’s the best kind

  3. I'm not a big fan of the bitter earthiness of beans, so I was surprised they didn't do much on that front. I sort of thought they might mention a pre-soak involving a pinch of baking soda and some spices, to make the beans less bitter and more flavorful.

  4. Chris’s dish is interesting, but I’ve never really like white bean chilies. Honestly I think any Louisiana or Caribbean seafood stew would taste better using a lot of the same ingredients.

  5. If I get invited to have chili at my friend's house and they say "I made a seafood chili with shrimp and scallops!" I'm punching them in the face and walking out

  6. Update, Emily is now a Level 2 chef. She’s been hanging out with Frank and he’s been teaching her. We are proud of you Emily, you’ve come a long way.
