Reverse Engineering

Reverse Engineering is a YouTube cooking show featuring Chris Morocco. The show plays off of Morocco's reputation of having a strong sense of taste and smell, and other members of the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen challenge him to recreate a dish from only smell and taste.

Format
Each episode opens with an intro from a featured Bon Appétit Test Kitchen member who introduces the mystery dish and the rules of the challenge: Chris has two days to replicate the dish after tasting, smelling, and touching the dish while blindfolded. At the end of the second day, the dish is presented to the test kitchen member who judges the dish based on accuracy regarding ingredients, technique, appearance, and taste.

Chris then enters the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen and is blinded folded, usually with a cute or comical themed blindfold. Chris then proceeds to describe with as much detail the dish in front of him without actually seeing it. Chris will often tear and dissect the dish apart in a methodical way in order to ascertain its contents.

Before the dish is taken away he is usually asked to guess the type of dish and its ingredients.
