4 Levels of Cacio e Pepe: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Stephen, home cook Joseph, and professional chef Saúl Montiel from Cantina Rooftop- to make us a warm and cheesy cacio e pepe. Once each level of chef had presented their creations, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way. Which cacio e pepe makes you say “molto bene?” Director: Debra Remstein Director of Photography: Jeremy Harris Editors: Manolo Moreno Talent: Level 1- Stephen Hamilton Level 2- Joseph Ciaravalli Level 3 - Chef Saul Montiel Food Scientist: Rosemary Trout Sr. Culinary Director: Kelly Janke Producer: Tyre Nobles Culinary Producer: Mallary Santucci Associate Culinary Producer - Katrina Zito Culinary Assistant - Stevie Stewart Director of Talent: Cynthia Simpson Line Producer: Jennifer McGinity Associate Producer: Sam Ghee Production Manager: Janine Dispensa Production Coordinator: Elizabeth Hymes Cam Operator: Lucas Young Audio: Austin Rumsey Post Production Supervisor: Stephanie Cardone Post Production Coordinator: Scout Alter Supervising Editor: Eduardo Araujo Video Copy ad Recipe Editor: Vivian Jao Still haven’t subscribed to Epicurious on YouTube? ►► ABOUT EPICURIOUS Browse thousands of recipes and videos from Bon Appétit, Gourmet, and more.
