Vegan Challenge! 2 Chefs Make a Meal Out of Mushrooms | Mystery Menu | NYT Cooking

As a happily married dude who's previously run a business with his wife, I've got to say, the collaborative work dynamic of this couple is bananas🤯

Not everyone can cook with their spouse… it’s a matter of skill and personality most of the time. But I love it, and the El-Wayllys really work so well together that it’s a joy to see. It’s like watching people read one another’s minds 😍

This is, hands-down, my favorite ongoing NYT cooking series. It's creative, super wholesome, and just damn entertaining without being over-the-top.

Is nobody going to point out Sohla's sketches? They're quite quality for something done quickly. I love.

With the way that Sohla and Ham plan, you can tell that they are truly “subject matter experts” not only in how they cook but also in sourcing what they cook, to the last detail. Like when they asked for black vs. white truffles and such specificity when it came to the button mushrooms. Amazing. A second observation, which is consistent across all of their challenges, is that they cook for the entire crew to eat. It’s not one plate just for filming but something all will try after. Such an awesome duo! Can’t wait for more from them.

PLEASE do more vegan challenges! There isn't enough vegan content with PROFESSIONAL chefs. This was incredible to watch!

I want to tread carefully here, but I do believe this episode best demonstrates their exceptional talent to embrace experimentation as a tool for tackling both creative and technical challenges. I'm always captivated by their effortless capacity to overcome "obstacles" and emerge even more formidable as a duo. Without a doubt, here we've two great masters of their art.

I love it when Sohla and Ham get a win, they create enough positive conflict without throwing 'challenge' at this fantastic duo of color. I always want more of them!

I feel like whoever wrote the season 1 finale of the bear when Carmy and Sydney were framing out the restaurant is a fan of Sohla and Ham 🤗

As a private chef I really appreciate the communication level! It is so fricken amazing. I love the way that you make menus playing off of each other. Meanwhile my boyfriend can’t even boil water lol.

I finally had the time to watch this just the way I want to... on my TV instead of my phone, with wine and cheese. This show is hands down better than anything on the food network. Sohla and Ham just get better and better together, and so does the filming and editing. ❤LOVE. IT!!❤

Thank you for a vegan episode. Everything looked fantastic.

That Bob's Red Mill egg replacer is the best! I use it any time I'm baking for vegan friends. I'm gluten free as well and it still works great 😁

Full disclosure, I watch anything and everything involving these two; however, I particularly loved this episode as I happen to be vegan and LOVE all mushrooms. This was super fun and informative.

Been having a tough week and this instantly cheered me up. Always love seeing new stuff from Sohla and Ham!

i wish that they had had access to candy caps, even dried ones! they're a super aromatic mushroom that's used more commonly in sweets. in general, it would've been cool to see what sohla and ham could do with some more obscure edible mushrooms. i'm really enjoying this episode -- this all looks so delicious and i don't even like eating mushrooms (just learning about them, especially their culinary uses).

Awesome episode! I like that we saw much more of the part where they design the whole meal. It is so nice to kinda get inside their brains and understand how those awsome ideas come. Mystery menu is always a high point of the day.

I love Sohla's drawings of the menu – I'd get them framed because they're so cute! <3 True artist Chef kiss

I so wanted that last bit where they say "moral of the story" to be a mushroom pun - "morel of the story" 😂

24:03 they were so close to saying “morel” of the story 😂
