When chef Amy Brandwein received this challenge on Twitter from Danny Kim, we never could have expected what would happen next. She’s quite talented and now you get to see how resourceful she really is.
Amy was told that she needed to create a gourmet meal out of the contents of a children’s Happy Meal: McNuggets, sweet and sour sauce, fries, and two apple pies.
She got started by making some pasta from scratch. From there, the insides of the apple pies and the chicken were used as the filling for the tortellini. In this awesome video, you will also get to see how she managed to turn the French fries into something far fancier. They became the basis for her take on Pommes Dauphine, a gourmet fried potato dish served in France.
The reactions to this video were too funny. Some were impressed, some were confused and some were enraged. The Italian contingent was especially infuriated by what they saw here. Like one of the other commentators, we were befuddled once the apple pie was mixed with the chicken nuggets. Brandwein did not agree with the assessments and she stands by the meal that she prepared.
In fact, she rates it a 10 out of 10. We are not sure about that but we guess that we can take her word for it on this one. It’s not like we are ever going to try it for ourselves. Meanwhile, there were some who were not worried about the food itself but they were more upset about the size of the portions?
It’s bizarre, to say the least. We are with the person who correctly noted that she turned a decent amount of food into a mere three pieces of pasta. Danny Kim is no stranger to these types of challenges, either. This is not the first time that he has issued this type of challenge. We guess that some men just like to watch the world burn.
Where do you stand on this one? If you are asking us, we would probably just eat the McDonald’s meal. Who wants to put all of that time and effort into creating a whole new meal when we just could eat it? Food for thought, we guess….
