We challenged chefs of three different levels – an amateur, a home cook and a professional chef – to make their versions of waffles. And then we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Which waffles were the best?

Over thought for the level 3? I would be happy to eat any of the first two.

i never had a waffle
Level 1: Gives us sweetness with a bit of playfulness ☺️.
Level 2: Gives us infectious laughter 🤣.
Level 3: Gives us helpful advice. As well as inadvertently giving advice to the previous two chefs, jk 😜.
I'm (put in 📛 name) and I'm a level 4 chef ha! 😆 lol
I'm Mike Wallace and you're watching (tik tik tik tik tik) 60 Min. lol 🤣
I feel like this is more like three different types of waffles and not so much three levels of skills for waffles.
beautiful waffle ruined by Cool Whip. 😢
✝️Repent from your sins🙏, turn to God before it’s to late⏰, for tomorrow is not promised ❤️
The Waffle House has found its new host
Tracys technique is amazing. I have a habit of opening the waffle maker before its done
I wish Lorenzo was my dad. His personality is incredible & his food is alllllwayyyyysssss the best of the three.
Caramelized sugar= scorched sugar on your waffle maker. She says ‘toffee’ as if that’s a good thing.
Im watching with my dad 🙂
Im watching with my boyfriend
The level 1 waffles looks pretty ok
I feel like the level 2 chef did nothing to b a level 2 chef. He's like a 1.5 level to me
Lorenzo's blueberry sauce is fire I I put it on pancakes ice cream it is so easy and it.
As always you should replace the food-scientist with blind-testing
1st time level 3 chef didn't explain their whole career…
Level 3 waffles: They can give you a heart attack within a year.
Ngl the 3rd chef be looking like a robot most of the time, not tryna be mean but
Tasty
Just like a level 3 to serve a 1/4 of a waffle.
Why is it freakin' impossible to get a basic recipe for waffle batter on YouTube. I don't need to make "the best waffles" on the first attempt. I just want to try making some stupid waffles. Why turn it into rocket science? Does anyone have a basic waffle recipe?
I like Lorenzo's waffle
Where is rose😢😢
If my Moma was still with us, She could teach us all how to make waffles! She started the night before as I recall, and the waffles needed nothing more than butter and syrup to be great! Just added bacon and homemade jelly on the side. If you need all those toppings, then you have failed.
I am a huge fan of waffles
Level 3 chef: you may wanna preorder your breakfasts. Or wait 2-3 buisness days
I love everyone’s enthusiasm. These people are having fun!
I love liege waffles, but I dont think it is a fair comparison since it is a yeast dough & calls for special sugar pearls.
Gracias por por la clase magistral, los amo
En otras recetas encontré perfecto añadir una cucharadita de fécula de maíz ❤🎉
This sounds like Dungeons and Dragons except with cooking
Bianca is cute!
I love how the Level 3 chef is explaining the recipe like a tutorial as if any of us would even have a chance of making that.
Can’t watch an owl head make waffles.
I don't believe you, mail me some 😂🎉
