- Hey everyone, my name is Jesse
from the Buzzfeed Food team,
and today, I'm gonna be testing five famous
celebrity guacamole recipes to see which one
is actually the best.
Today, I'll be testing recipes from Rachael Ray,
Ayesha Curry, Alton Brown,
Marcella Valladolid, and Beyonce.
I measured all the ingredients precisely
as the recipe stated to level the playing field,
and I got three of my friends
to try our guacamole in a blind taste test.
I picked my winner, but I wanna see what they thought.
So, game on. (whistle blows)
Rachael Ray starts by mixing diced red onions
with lemon juice and salt, mixes it up,
and let's it sit for about 10 minutes.
After that, she cuts and pits two avocados,
and scoops the flesh out on top of that onion mixture,
then adds some cilantro, jalapeno and garlic,
and mashes it all together.
But, here's where things get crazy.
Next, she adds even more lemon juice,
diced apples, and pureed chipotle in adobo,
then mixes that all up and seasons it.
To finish it, she transfers some into a bowl,
and tops it liberally and entirely with toasted almonds
and even more apples.
- We got almonds on the guacamole, that's not a thing.
- Ooh, okay, okay, very chunky.
- If I could think of, like, Hawaiian guacamole,
this is what I think I'd be getting.
- Guacamole usually has big texture problems,
so I don't mind the little bit of crunch
from the almonds.
- The almonds are good,
they kinda break up the fruitiness
and make it a little more savory.
- I'm kinda freaking out about this one
'cause I don't know what to make of it,
but I do like it.
- I don't love it.
- I like it.
It's different, but if we go around not liking things
that are different from us, come on, man,
America, wake up.
- [Jesse] Ayesha Curry starts by scooping the meat out
of a single avocado and placing it into a bowl.
She called it meat, not me,
so don't @ me in the comments for this one.
She then adds diced shallots,
hot sauce, chunky garlic paste,
lime juice, salt and pepper,
then just mashes that all up with a fork
and that's it for this one.
- Looks like this was a project
between a mom and a child,
and this is all they could achieve.
- If something slaps me across my taste buds,
I'm gonna be angry because it is so unassuming-looking.
- This is definitely, yeah, like a bar-quality.
- Nothing special, it's fine.
- That's very good.
You know, it's not spicy, but it's very creamy.
Just your basic guacamole, but it's good.
I like this one.
- [Jesse] Up next it Alton Brown.
He starts with three whole avocados,
cuts them in half, takes the pit out,
and scoops the flesh into a bowl.
To that, he adds lime juice,
tosses it all together, and strains out the extra juice
into a tiny bowl 'cause you'll use this later.
Next, he adds cayenne and cumin,
and mashes it all together with a potato masher
to give it a nice, creamy texture.
He adds garlic, onions, jalapeno,
cilantro, tomatoes, and the reserved lime juice,
and mixes that all together.
And, that's it for this one, super classic.
- This looks like a classic guacamole.
The colors here say, "Viva Mexico."
- This looks like the type of guac
that you get when you order it at a restaurant.
- It's not very guacamole-y-y.
- There's an issue here.
There is a lack of flavor.
- It almost doesn't taste like avocado
or like vegetables, it tastes like taco seasoning.
- There's not enough seasoning in here,
not enough salt.
The basic
of all
guac.
- I'll say I don't like this one.
It presents itself in a way
where it looks like it's gonna be
the ultimate guacamole, and then it isn't.
- [Jesse] Up next is Food Network personality, Marcela V,
just 'cause I don't wanna butcher her last name,
with her sweet and spicy guacamole.
She starts by cutting open five avocados,
pits them, and roughly mashes them all together
with a fork to give it a nice texture.
To that, she adds diced mango,
red pepper flakes, a generous amount of salt,
and a ton of lime juice, and mixes it all together.
She places it into a bowl
and tops it with chili oil to add a pop of heat.
- It looks beautiful, it's attractive.
- This looks like it's gonna be spicy.
- There's a big chunk of an orange fruit,
really throwing me for a loop here.
- Oh, I lost sense of time.
Where am I?
- What is that?
It tastes like Chinese food oil.
- Tastes almost, like, Asian-infused.
- This one is the most interesting by far, and it's good.
I'm into it.
- [Jesse] And last is the Queen Bee herself
with a super traditional recipe for guac.
She starts by peeling two avocados
and smashing them together with a spoon
to smooth it all out.
Next, she adds lime juice, tomato,
diced onion, salt, pepper, and garlic,
and mixes that all together until it's all incorporated.
Transfer it to a bowl, and that's it.
- There was another that looked like
it's about to be a classic experience.
- Picturesque, little tomatoes in there.
- This is what you'll have at a Mexican restaurant.
This has the right amount of seasoning,
the right amount of tomatoes, onions.
- This is almost, like, the closest to just, like,
guacamole.
By the books, it seems pretty straightforward.
- The consistency is really nice,
there's some texture to it, it's not too chunky.
It's really good.
- [Jesse] Which celebrity has the best guacamole recipe?
Let's find out.
- My favorite out of all these five recipes
was number four.
A beautiful reinvention of a classic recipe,
done the freakin' right way.
You got sweet, you got salty, you got everything.
Are you serious?
Marcela, that is awesome.
- My favorite was number five.
It was just, like, your typical guacamole,
but it was very good, like, a good texture,
still creamy, there was something to,
like, bite into with the onions and the tomatoes,
and I could eat that any day.
(gasps) Get out.
Blue Ivy is one lucky girl,
eating that all the time. (laughs)
- If I had to pick a favorite guacamole today,
it is, without question, guacamole number four
with the oil and the mangoes in there.
I was blown away, it's good guacamole.
I don't know who that is,
but my theoretical hat is off to you.
- [Jesse] There you have it,
Marcela Valladolid has the best guacamole.
Which celebrity recipe should we try next?
Hit us up in the comments below.
- It may be even better than the classic recipe.
