We challenged chefs of three different skill levels – amateur Stephen, home cook Daniel, and professional chef Saul Montiel from Cantina Rooftop – to make a rich cup of hot chocolate. Once each level of chef had presented their magnificent mugs, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each cocoa-maker made along the way – both good and bad. Which cup of hot chocolate are you dipping a sugar cookie into?

Just finished watching videos with Onika and Desi. Stephen to me seems the most humble and not so much attitude out of the three, wished we saw more of Stephen.
I need a cooking series with just Saul ????
Saul, I don't know you but I love you after watching this video.
lmao. the lactose-intolerant, muscle-spasm, vegetarian chef… lol
Someone needs to tell Stephen, if you cook milk, you cook the lactose out of it.
Saul breaks churro ????…he’s so funny!
This made me ridiculously happy, I love hot chocolate
Daniel is a professional millennial
Daniel is a good level 2 chef because he Is analysing every step in his cooking ????????????

Saul is the best example of a human being anywhere ever.
Level 2 chef: “this is the most over the top hot chocolate ever!”
Saul: “hold my almond milk”
