Who’s ready for a Banh mi battle? Pro chef King Phojanakong from The Institute of Culinary Education and home cook Emily are swapping supplies and hitting the kitchen! We set Emily up with the finest ingredients from chef King’s kitchen along with his recipe for a decadent $167 banh mi. With lots of ingredients and even more questions to accompany them, food scientist Rose dialed in for a tutorial teleconference to help Emily along the way. Meanwhile over with chef King, a much more modest $19 worth of ingredients were being finessed in his quest to make a gourmet dish without his usual arsenal. Tune in to find out whose bahn mi came out best.
