French Onion Soup: chopping onions sucks
In this episode... There is only one recipe that made Julia Child cry and shockingly, this wasn’t it? Join Sarah and Doug as they wage war on the onion, battling through tear gas to make the classic French Onion Soup. Is it worth the equivalent of the culinary Charlotte’s Web? Tune in to see if we can make haute cuisine or a haute mess.
