Professional chef Eric Huang and home cook Emily are trading recipes and hitting the kitchen to make a lobster dinner! We set Emily up with the finest ingredients from chef Eric’s kitchen along with his expert-level $250 lobster recipe. Meanwhile over with our pro chef, Eric was finessing Emily’s recipe and $29 worth of ingredients up to gourmet status with a little skill and professional know-how. Which lobster are you going for in a pinch?

Emily's character arc from putting Ketchup on borderline everything to being trusted with a live lobster is my favorite reason to watch this channel

I just want to buy Sargento cheese & Daisy sour cream for *less than half* retail price, *four* ears of corn for 89 cents (!) & rolls for less than half a dollar but *I don't think the pricing on these videos is for real* & I'll never understand that; if this meal cost, say, $35, isn't the point still relevant? Spiny lobster is almost always round $30/lb in the States; why is this one lobster *twice* as much? $7 for *house-made* chicken stock (where does that come from?) $11 for *six* farm eggs?! $3 for A SINGLE STALK of celery (I'm sorry for yelling but *dang!)?* I adore these videos, make no mistake. Absolutely love the channel, always. The price-changing exclusively for these videos seems so weird & unnecessary; my concern is it *likely* does more harm than good by convincing chefs not to attempt more expensive ingredients more often. 🤷🤷‍♂🤷‍♀

The chef's comment about the azeotrope was incorrect. Alcohol and water form an azeotrope at a concentration of 95% alcohol. As long as your cooking liquid/sauce before reduction is below 95% alcohol, there will indeed be more alcohol in the vapor proportionally and the liquid will reduce in alcohol concentration as it is simmered. Also, the wine already has ~80-90% water in it anyways, so it's already in an alcohol-water mixture from the beginning. (It may well taste better if you reduce the madeira a bit first, that's certainly possible and I'm not a chef, I'm just stating that a wine or alcohol based sauce will get lower in ABV as it reduces as long as it's not pure everclear)
