See What Happens When College Kids Try to Chop as Many Onions as Mario Batali in 15 Seconds

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at BU chapter.

Everybody’s favorite orange Croc wearing chef Mario Batali recently took to Instagram to show off his knife skillz and challenged any chef to chop more onions than him.

Definitely intimidated but feeling courageous, we accepted his challenge (even though he had no idea) and oh boy was it a sad sight to see.

There were a lot of excuses, but in the end, we proved to be pretty freaking pathetic. Na’ama out-chopped everyone with 2 whole onions. Yeah, that was it.

Well, we all failed like a bunch of onion chopping losers. We ended the challenge with tears in our eyes (thanks a lot onions) and a shit ton of onions on our plates.
Luckily, we managed to keep all of our fingers but lost all of our dignity. Thanks a lot Mario, thanks a lot.
