Expert chef Frank Proto from the Institute of Culinary Education and home cook John are swapping materials and hoping for the best! We gave John $250 worth of ingredients and Frank's recipe notebook, then asked him to recreate Frank's Pasta Bolognese as best he could. Luckily, food scientist Rose was available for a brief pep talk and consultation. On the other side, Frank received $25 worth of goods and tried to improvise his way up to gourmet. Who achieved the most impressive sauce under these mixed up circumstances?
