We challenged chefs of three different skill levels–amateur Onika, home cook Emily, and professional chef Saúl Montiel–to make their take on a breakfast burrito. We then asked expert food scientist Rose to explain each chef’s choices along the way. Which breakfast burrito do you want to start your day with?

How do you judge what level a chef is at? Have they ever defined that?
Saúl cracked me up with the "but chef, what do you mean?" line
Level 1,2, and 30 more like.
Chef Saul needs to do two things. The first is he needs his own channel and second he needs his own channel.
I am planning a vacation around making sure I can eat at Sauls restaurant.
A clutch thing is keeping the tortillas warm & steamy..wrap the burrito & then wrap it up in foil or cooking paper & let sit for a few minutes
Onika!!! Missed her lol
Also seeing Emily as level 2 is still so heart warming to me ❤
The expert is always doing way too much in these.
Oneika bugs me for some reason
I love the editing on this video. “It’s a crime to microwave a tortilla.” Cuts to Onika microwaving her tortilla. 😂
Hey food scientist: pepper seeds don't contain capsaicin. Stop spreading this lie.
Yay!!! Go Emily go!!
It’s 2025! Why we still scratchin?
It's a level 0 and a level 1 and level 30
I'd eat any one of them. If I'm making my own, I don't have a lot of time, so Saúl's burrito is beyond me.
Girl someone has to scratch
I've been missing out for a while when did Emily step up to level 2?
Wha?! Our Emily is evolving! Dundundubduh dububdubdun!
Congratulations Emily has evolved to Level 2!
WHERE IS THE KETCHUP, EMILY
Would like to see the pro chef making it both the longer proper way and the quick way
its insane how we blindly credit someone when they pronounce something with an accent. Mid burrito is mid.
thats not level 3… that is level 99 at its lowest.
Onika: “dont trust anyome that dont eat messy”. YES SAY IT LOUDER!!!
Why does everyone look so washed out in this video?! Fire your editor! 😭
Oh my 3 favorites are all here!!
Years of watching this series and I still don't understand how Rose reviewing the three levels is a fourth level of it's own?????
All wrong. Requires green chile. Go to Colorado to learn,
They are all very….Eh
i love sauld almost as much as emily. but i would skip on his burrito, the incredients are on point but the filling looks like paste, its missing that chunky texture i look for in a breakfast burrito
