Chapter 1: What is the main concept of the cooking challenge?

0.031 - 21.386 Nick DiGiovanni

In this video, I'm visiting the biggest YouTubers in the world to cook them their favorite dishes. But what they don't know is that they are actually cooking for me. Bro, you said you were cooking. I'm sorry. Oh, no, no. And by the end, we'll find out which of your favorite YouTubers is the best chef of them all, all starting with Mr. Beast. I'm starving. Come on in. Bro, I love when he visits.

0

21.426 - 27.073 Nick DiGiovanni

He just makes me food. As you know, I've got all the ingredients here to make you a fresh and delicious fried chicken sandwich. Thank you.

0

Chapter 2: How does Mr. Beast prepare his fried chicken sandwich?

27.113 - 30.797 Nick DiGiovanni

One other tiny little note, you will be cooking me a fried chicken sandwich.

0

30.777 - 33.921 Mr. Beast

Wait, but I invited you because I wanted a fried chicken sandwich.

0

34.081 - 39.649 Nick DiGiovanni

I know I tricked you, but you're going to be ranked on a tier list with the biggest YouTubers on the planet. So if I were you, I'd try.

0

39.709 - 49.762 Mr. Beast

Oh, okay. Oh boy. How do you even make a fried chicken sandwich? That's for you to figure out. Get cooking. All right, this is oil. I'm opening up the chicken because it's fried chicken.

0

50.744 - 57.713 Nick DiGiovanni

Every time I've cooked with you so far, you've also broken things. Just remember, I am judging also on cleanliness, cooking skills, presentation, and taste.

58.25 - 68.313 Mr. Beast

Did you just hit yourself with chicken? Well, it flew off. That was weird. I assume the way you get the crispy coating is flour. Are you going to season it or are you just going to go just flour? Well, we'll season it after we fry it.

69.355 - 71.941 Nick DiGiovanni

Remember, for frying, you need a wet dredge and a dry dredge.

72.242 - 88.164 Mr. Beast

Oh, I have no idea what you're talking about. Try to crack with one hand. I will give you extra... That didn't work. Put some milk in. And now we're drenching it. I call this the raw dog. Now we plop it in the oil. Oh, we're ready? You ready? Oh, okay. Here, can you do it? I don't want to get burned. Fine. Safety first. Time to make the sauce. We're going to put a little barbecue in here.

88.384 - 98.015 Mr. Beast

Mayonnaise! It is not a chicken sandwich without some mayonnaise. And then, of course, some ketchup. These are the three goaded sauces, which equals a triple goaded sauce. Here's our plate. This is a lid, by the way.

Chapter 3: What cookies does Ryan Trahan request and how are they made?

325.803 - 343.592 Nick DiGiovanni

It gives a really kind of weird, chalky mouthfeel. Your tongue starts to kind of feel a little bit weird. Yeah. There's also no salt because of the lack of salt is very one-dimensional. Given some of the fatal errors you made, I'm going to put Ryan Trahan at C tier. Respectably, Nick, you got to go. Get out of my house. Okay. C tier is crazy.

0

343.572 - 353.346 Nick DiGiovanni

Our next YouTuber is Arak, who you probably know for his insane prank videos. And he's requested fish tacos, but since he likes to prank everybody, I have an extra little prank in here for him.

0

356.262 - 375.294 Arak

You're here. Welcome to my kitchen. I've never used this actually in my entire life, I'm gonna be honest with you. Maybe you can teach me how to cook tacos, but also how to use my everything. Why tacos? My absolute favorite fast food place a lot of people know is Taco Bell. I just assumed since you're like the chef guy, you're gonna make that, but better, right? You're almost right.

0

375.394 - 397.939 Arak

Unfortunately, I'm pranking you. You are cooking for me and I'm gonna give you a grade. It's not a very good prank. Since you requested fish tacos. Oh, I can already smell it. Oh, what the freak? Ew, dude. I can't do this. Good luck. Oh, no, no. Oh, my gosh. OK, here we go. So we're just going to cut the head off. Oh, not good. Trust me, this is the way this is supposed to go.

0

397.959 - 416.321 Arak

Oh, watch your fingers. OK, this isn't bad. Look, you're getting a filet. Guys, let me know how I did on my first filet of all time. I think it's probably an A. Now you gotta get all the meat off. Huh? Is this enough fish for tacos, you think? Let's cut up some tomatoes. My thought here is to make some sort of salsa. Next, we're gonna go for the cabbage.

416.602 - 429.98 Nick DiGiovanni

Not bad knife skills. This is okay. Red onions. Delicious in a taco. I don't know how to cook. He's cutting it in such a way that you actually can't tell anymore what's skin, what's onion. So I'll have a really nice surprise later when I bite into that taco. If there even is a taco.

430.2 - 432.283 Arak

Mango. It's going in the salsa. See, I like that.

432.403 - 433.665 Nick DiGiovanni

Throwing a little sweetness in there.

434.546 - 456.076 Arak

Yep. One more thing. The avocado. Seems about how he would cut an avocado. Mix this around. Pretty oniony. Just kidding. It's perfect. Now I'm going to cook the fish. Is that a question? There's like some like hard barbs in here. Is that chill vibes? That's the bones of the fish. Is it fun? You're not going to judge this based off of my cooking skills, though. It's off of taste, right?

Chapter 4: What unique twist does the chef add to the fish tacos for Arak?

662.924 - 677.819 Nick DiGiovanni

The mix of that olive oil and the tomato sauce I think is gonna taste really good. Step two, we're gonna add cheese. Wait, no, no, no, no. You're supposed to rip open a block of cheese and just set it on top. Now we're gonna add mozzarella cheese because people love cheese. We're gonna add basil now. Couple tomatoes. I can't wait to see how this looks after it bakes.

0

678.119 - 682.703 Nick DiGiovanni

Adding the little last drop of olive oil on a crust. Just a tiny sprinkle of salt here.

0

683.024 - 694.5 Jesser

I think this is ready. Here we go. I'm gonna go ahead and prep the pineapple while the pizza's cooking. Look at that. Not bad knife skills. This is very impressive. Gotta cook the pineapple. Okay.

0

695.643 - 697.528 FaZe Rug

Let me try it, let me try it. Here we go, here we go.

0

699.179 - 702.564 Jesser

Maybe we don't need all these pineapples. Let's just add a few basil in there.

703.345 - 719.128 Nick DiGiovanni

A little more pineapple juice. I don't know what your plan is here. I really don't. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Parmesan's actually melting in the middle of the pizza. I think we're ready. The sous chef says yes. Yo. Why are you guys excited about this? Listen for the crisp. Ooh!

719.268 - 735.955 Jesser

What was that? I want to eat it so bad. Now, for the best part, pineapple. And one more piece of basil in the middle. What we have prepared before you today is a margherita pizza with a block of cheese in the middle, tomatoes, basil, and to top it all off, some sweet pineapple.

736.295 - 737.136 Nick DiGiovanni

Oh my gosh.

737.417 - 739.018 Mr. Beast

Yo.

Chapter 5: How do the Stokes Twins choose pizza as their dish?

1128.667 - 1130.309 Mark Rober

I have good news, and I have bad news.

0

1130.95 - 1144.906 Nick DiGiovanni

Oh, no. The good news is that his knife skills are noticeably so much better than when I was teaching him last time, and he seems like he's an overall better cook. All right, give me the bad news. The bad news is that Mark Rober is going to get D-tier.

0

1144.926 - 1145.907 Mark Rober

D-tier?

0

1146.027 - 1169.847 Nick DiGiovanni

D-tier as in I probably should have just ordered DoorDash. Our next YouTuber is Fede. He is the biggest YouTuber in Mexico with over 70 million subscribers, and guess what he asked me to make him? Lasagna. Here we go. Beautiful setup here you got. Thank you so much. Why did we pick lasagna? I love Italian food, so the lasagna is gonna be awesome, right? Well, that's a good question.

0

1170.268 - 1187.135 Nick DiGiovanni

You're cooking the lasagna. It's a joke, right? So this is pasta, right? Do you cook at all? No, I have a chef in my house. Because you don't cook and because you chose a very difficult dish, I will be very impressed if you even get a D tier.

1187.155 - 1188.537 KSI

Wow, this is so difficult.

1188.637 - 1199.693 Nick DiGiovanni

You haven't even done anything. First, I'm making the sauce. Oregano, Italian seasoning. Got basil. It's actually not off to a bad start. Garlic. Where'd you learn this? I have a friend.

1199.733 - 1205.338 Jesser

He's a master chef. He taught me this. Salt is really important. I hate food without salt.

1205.859 - 1226.577 Nick DiGiovanni

I think I never used one of these before. Hand opener? It's like this. This can't be real. I'm sorry, guys. This is, like, really futuristic. Futuristic? I'm pouring this because I think otherwise he's going to splash both of us. Be careful. Do you have, like, a little machine? A machine to cut the onion faster. Yeah, like...

Chapter 6: What are the challenges faced while making ice cream sundaes?

1494.776 - 1501.061 KSI

Okay, let's not do that again. Just lost half of it. That was the bad half. Yeah. I think this might be done.

0

1501.282 - 1504.306 Nick DiGiovanni

Let's plate it up. Just like that. Oh, it's dumping it right on.

0

1504.627 - 1509.634 KSI

Ta-da! Nick, dinner is served.

0

1510.055 - 1512.077 Nick DiGiovanni

Visually, I actually like the plate.

0

1512.098 - 1514.181 KSI

Yeah, it's different. Why are you talking like that?

1514.561 - 1520.229 Nick DiGiovanni

I don't know. I can smell... Oh, something is off for sure.

1524.375 - 1526.158 KSI

Delightful!

1527.742 - 1546.374 Nick DiGiovanni

Is that sure right? The best word to describe the dish is confusing. I'm not sure how to feel. I think that's good. Some bites are good. Some bites are horrible. But yet, it's not the worst fried rice I've ever had. That sounds like a success. I think KSI deserves C tier.

1546.515 - 1548.518 KSI

Yes! It's not a fail.

Chapter 7: How does Mark Rober approach making sushi?

1795.313 - 1800.14 Nick DiGiovanni

One important thing I should tell you, you are actually cooking for me and I'm giving you a rating.

0

1800.521 - 1801.542

No, I don't want to do that.

0

1803.226 - 1804.287 Jesser

Wait, you're not gonna cook?

0

1804.468 - 1805.829 KSI

Bro, you said you were cooking!

0

1806.27 - 1825.333 Jesser

I'm sorry. Dude, I've never made french fries. I'm gonna cut it into these things first, and then I'm gonna cut it into fry shape. Cool. Not a bad start. I almost feel like I should double the ingredients. I still want a meal. I didn't eat lunch today, guys, okay? I'm hungry. What kind of steak is this? New York prime rib, beef strip? Seasoning is most important, and I like to keep it simple.

1825.454 - 1826.114 Jesser

Salt, pepper.

1826.575 - 1834.031 Nick DiGiovanni

What is that for? Hold on for a second. Whenever I see somebody season like this, Bad, bad, bad, bad sign.

1834.291 - 1843.991 Jesser

What is wrong with that? The pepper is essential. This pepper thing is low-key buns barely coming out. Add a little truffle as well. There's the technique. Uh-oh.

1844.011 - 1851.969 Nick DiGiovanni

That never happened. Smashing the garlic to open it up a little bit. I'm gonna throw the butter in. This is how you start your steaks every time?
