Can These Chefs Turn This Alien Drawing Into Real Food? • Tasty

Hi, my name is Zach Lewis and I'm nine years old and today I'm having two

chefs

compete to create the dish of my dreams. Take me to your leader, yeah, how's it going? Oh, that's cool, I'm Hannah, by the way, we found out. a lot about

alien

s. I'm like the specialist in extraterrestrial specimens. I know two types of

alien

s. The one I know the most is

this

alien called mini moodu, so he has triangular feet instead of hands like us, they have claws like crabs. and they have four antennae with two eyes and a mouth. Zach is a very well spoken kid, he is very smart and very passionate about anything he talks about clearly now that we know what they are like.

I'm dying to know what they do. Mini Moodus eat, so of course since they're in space, they have to eat things from space, so they have

this

giant piece of Moon here. They also like pieces of a planet, so let's say they eat pieces of, I don't know, Jupiter and inside there would be like a pinch of the big storm eye, it might be a little spicy for their taste, oh spicy, sometimes kids They say they want spicy but it's not like that. They also have comets, they are very spicy, so he is

drawing

the comet and me.

I'm getting

real

ly excited about the fire he's

drawing

because I think he might have some good ideas for his ornaments, they have moon dust around their plate, I mean they

real

ly like moon dust, but they also have some rings of Sa

turn

. and vix of Neptune's rings so the drawing becomes more and more detailed. I really don't know how I'm going to put all this on a plate or what

food

is going to make all these shapes. I think I might have an idea for the Rings I don't know if he's going to like it, we won't let you down Zack okay good luck so my plan for this dish is two fluffy purple Japanese style pancakes a little puddle of yogurt with a little fruit in the middle to prepare it.

It looks like that moon dust storm. I think I'm going to crush some chocolate cookies and use the bigger pieces like those moon rocks I was talking about, so for the rings I have strawberries, mango and peach rings, the caramel and I could make a mix of the three here it is my plan. I'm going to make Moon Rock Comet and Jupiter Crispy Rice. I'm going to dip them in a delay of Greek yogurt and powdered sugar that I'm going to marble with gel

food

coloring and then I'm going to make rings for Sa

turn

and Neptune with hand pulled Taffy and then I'm going to melt Jolly Ranchers and make little fire sticks for the comet for lunar dust.

I'm going to get some nerds to throw them all at the bottom of the plate. and sprinkle some on our moon rock and that's it, so these rings, this is where I'm being risky and maybe not worth the effort. I'm going to make some caramel from scratch. Why, oh my god, is this my first time? In I draw you as a cook and I'm very nervous about that. Additionally, Hannah has two children. I have no children. Katie has a big advantage because I have two kids, so I'm well rested. No, they iron my pants. remember what day it is no, I'm a complete shell of a human, okay, I think we should get started because we both have a lot to do, yeah, where are my things?

Well, I hope they make them huge, delicious and well made, the best. Chef wins the Taffy. I have to be pretty precise, so I just want to make sure I'm getting all the proportions right. First I'm going to take my sugar and I'm going to sift my cornstarch and then I'm going to add a little bit of corn syrup, which I know is pretty intense, so this is the kids' dream dish, so I'm going big. I'm going big with the sweets. Look, you also have the advantage of not being a mom like that. I'm breaking a rule and I'm eating candy while your mom's away.

I'm going to let this get to 250 if it goes any higher than that, when this candy cools it will break down and won't be as good. Taffy, throw that away. We need um, what's going to be the hot disaster edition. Yes, I draw you to cook a hot mess, so what I guess makes these Japanese pancakes fluffy is that the egg whites are whipped separately, so I whipped the egg whites until they have stiff peaks. It means that when you lift the beaters it comes to a point and it stays like that that's going to take a little bit this all happened a lot faster in my head I'm going to mix that with pancake batter and milk and butter and a little bit of egg yolk and, Hopefully, it will come together.

I'm improvising and then I'll use these thick ring molds to hopefully make them a little more upright and fluffy. Usually the first pancake always turns out bad when you're making pancakes like I threw away the first pancake so this is just a test this is like a Wolfie this is for you I don't know how full I'm supposed to make this for the fire from the comet I'm just going to melt some Jolly Ranchers in the microwave I didn't know you could microwave it yeah but you have to make sure you're in it's a nice super safe heat proof bowl okay they look like those hands that stick together and you like that, yes, so he pulled.

Flames come out of your kite, so I have mangoes, so I'm going to slice them very thin and fan them out to be my kite flames, and here we're going to pour the caramel, let it cool and then we have to work the candy. and that means I'm going to pull it over and over again until it starts to change color, more white and solid. You know those machines that pull the Taffy. I am the machine today. Can I use your bigger tweezers? bigger tongs I wouldn't do it I would take it I wasn't trying to sabotage you wink stick this under o m g this is going to spell I'm going to throw up if I can't flip this pancake I have to start over I've already waited so long for this pancake to cook completely because I poured a lot of dough into this ring.

Did you turn him over? No, I dropped it. I'm just praying at this point that I can flip the pancake and have it. a nice success, no, no, I need to make less dough, let's get this out of here, well, that's sticky, it'll be sticky again. Only everyone has a bear with me. I mean, my hands look horrible and I'm really sorry you have to see them. this is like no one can look at me right now that's what I'd like oh I've made this before and it's a lot stickier than normal. I mean, it usually sticks to your hands a little bit, but it's a lot stickier, I think you could have made a good choice of motion chips.

I think I'm trying to do too many things at once and I'm a little worried that the Taffy won't get to the right point. This is an exercise. I can't imagine it. I got these cookies because you talked a lot about moon dust and I feel like moon dust is probably grayish because like moon dust I'm thinking they're going to put white cheese on it like scrapes and cuts I feel like I've got everything else nailed down but I'm just waiting for these pancakes , they are taking a long time. I'm afraid I'm going to have another failure.

I feel like I need something to do while I wait for this, like everyone else in the kitchen. I already have my sauce, I'm going to make a quick ice cream and I'm like looking at a pancake, a normal pancake is very standard, the bubbles start to burst on one side and you know it's practically ready, it's very easy to tell, but with there's so much dough and their size is totally different so if they don't work I'll give in and make some normal pancakes and you'll get what you get and you won't get mad second. time is the charm.

I turned it over. I don't even care what happens at the end of this competition right now because I flipped my damn pancake. I did it. I turned it over. How's it going? I just put too much grease in it. I oiled my hands too much and now the Taffy is too wet and getting stringy which is not what you want with Taffy, okay I'm going to regroup here, such a Rice Krispie treat, so quick and easy, just add butter, add all our marshmallows and leave. All that melts. I'm going to add my Rice Krispies. I'm going to stir it into sort of an eyeball and just for fun I add a few more marshmallows at the end so you get little pieces of marshmallow.

I feel like rice with these. Krispies I'm going to get it back on track to make the marble frosting. I'm going to sift powdered sugar, add some Greek yogurt, my food coloring and mix it all together and then I'm going to dip it into my Rice Krispies. I have all my pieces. and now I hope they all go together on this plate for the Jupiter that he drew with the storm. I'm just using vanilla Greek yogurt and I'm going to add a little bit of mango to make that little orange circle in the middle like I'm getting the moonstone out of the frosting.

I know this is going to work, so I feel like we might be okay. Oh, how happy it is a little more. Moon rock. Moon rock down here, boom. Katie's plate looks like a plate just for kids. and my plate looks like a brunch option at a hipster restaurant. Are you done? Yes, everything is fine. I did it. We did it. I think we should see what Zach thinks. OK. Do I have cookies in my teeth? There are no cookies visually. I feel good about the dish. I tried really hard, I really went the extra mile in terms of being creative and it all comes down to whether or not this appeases the taste buds of a nine year old.

The closer Zach gets to eating my plate, the more nervous I get. because this is the first time I'm really, really, really nervous, I think it looks really fun and cool, and if I were a kid I'd be excited to see it, but I think it's got a lot of sugar in it, so we'll see. If this kid can take a foreign piece, oh this is not what he expected and I forgot to mention that I don't like blueberries very much. Oh, I thought I was sure he was safe with that, damn, oh, the inside is like a purple, that's cool, it's light. and fluffy, very good, especially with the maple strip, you like the pancake.

I feel like I might have a chance, okay, so for the strawberries, that's good, they're a little bit riper, although my favorite thing would be yogurt and pancake batter. and what I would like to leave would be these or the blueberries. I'm getting mixed signals from him that are giving me flashbacks to last season and I just don't feel very good about this right now, bring on my other planet. Wow, this one definitely looks more like the drawing. It feels so good. I thought it looked like the drawing. He thought it looked like the drawing. I mean, like it's not moon dust.

Moon dust. Could? I'm not saying this is true. They say the moon is made of cheese, apparently the lunar dose is supposed to taste like cheese. I didn't know we'd need help getting this off the foreign plate. I just heard a loud thud which I just hope isn't the caramel but it's probably the Taffy and that didn't happen ok it's so sticky. I think this is like Rice Krispie treats or something. Rice Krispies is my second favorite cereal. These are delicious. I like these The Rice Krispies. The part I hated the most would be the Rings because they were so hard to get off because they're so sticky and you can't even take them off without crying and turning them over after all that work, after all that fighting, he didn't like the Taffy types.

I don't even know what's going on anymore, hello, so if you had to choose one of the alien foods as your favorite, which one would be the winner? It's the pancakes, no, and I present to you this. I win. I didn't expect to feel this way. I'm excited to win, but this really means a lot because I put a lot of effort into my plate. Thank you

chefs

for creating a dish that would feed an entire planet of mini Moodus.
