The thing I like so much about this episode is that they left with a new understanding in food, and were so clearly overjoyed by that. Brent's reaction to the last steak is so wholesome, just such a wholesome episode.
I was about to comment the same thing! Such a heartwarming level of respect that was shown to the young chef. Being able to set your pride down and allow yourself to learn something new every day, even if you think you already know it.. is such a show of class and professionalism and there are way too many people who don't have that in them.
Well i think this is like when people find secret passage ways in their home they do it because it is cool and belive no one would know it from the video and a extra point i still dont know where the resturant is.
I saw someone comment once on one of these eater/behind the restaurant scene videos and it went something like this "Notice how he isn't scared of sharing his entire recipe and all his tips because he knows that it takes years of practice and hard work to even be able to come close to replicating what he's doing"
@@wlpxx7 its still not. You cant just walk in cause you saw a yt video. Changes nothing. Try thinking about it instead of repeating your triggered masses
I must honestly say, that these videos are very rare, because they are the only ones, where they are able to describe how does it actually taste so you can imagine. Always fun to watch, greetings from Czech Republic.
I can relate to the people not liking raw meat. I was one of them. However, my taste changed radically when I first visited Japan. If you taste this kind of meat, in Kobe let's say, it will change your world... Tartar is still a challenge for me if the beef is not of supreme quality. I can't hear anyone complaining for sushi though. And raw fish is far more dangerous from raw beef. Adapt and try new experiences guys. For sure it will not kill anyone if the quality and the preparation is such...
im gona correct you there now if we are talking about raw fish for SUSHI then no, it is WAY safer to eat it raw than meat. Now eating raw fish that is not sushi grade (lets say just out of a lake) then it is very dangerous but then again who really does this. So there you go yes fish is technically more unsafe to eat, but that's usually not sushi grade and no one really eats raw fish that isn't meant for sushi (at least not supposed to). As for the beef i mean there's plenty of e-coli going around so i would also have to get that "sushi" graded very easy to do aswell
@@joseaguirre9389 yeah sushi grade is safe, but it's easier in general for pathogens to get into fish. Beef is so dense that pathogens can't get into the inside of it. And the outside, as long as you get your meet from good places, will be clean. Sushi grade fish have to meet insane standards that beef does not have to meet to be safe to eat.
Raw fish is frozen to a temperature that kills the parasites and bacteria. It's ok to be smart just did a video about this. So sushi is not exactly like taking a fish out of the water cleaning and eating it raw.
Nice job from the hosts allowing the chef to talk when he wants. Many hosts are consumed with what they want to say and not realizing viewers want to get the information from the person making the food. Also I noticed the chef had braces, I hope he didn't just have an adjustment because that can make eating quite the pain. The food quality here is just next level. I would love to have had all that food to myself
'we're so secret that you cant come unless you know somebody who's been before. oh and we're going to invite some youtubers in for a video to tell you about this non-marketing ploy' - such a NYC marketing ploy move.
The “have to know someone” rule is very loose. Pretty much anyone can get in here, it’s more to give an appearance of exclusivity, I’ve been here btw. Sushi Saito in Tokyo has a rule similar to this but it actually is nearly impossible to get into. Also the “super rare” washugyu is American angus cross bread with wagyu. There’s plenty of joints around that sell pure bred wagyu. Including bohemian I think since they are behind JPB shop.
If you're talking about the fact you need to be invited by someone who has been there, It's not pretentous. They're not excluding anyone. It's more like you need to be shown where it is because most of these places have on signage and hidden down some ally-way. There are heaps of little bars and restaurants like that in Japan but if you do rock up at their door they won't turn you away.
Step 1. Open secret restaurant Step 2. Only tell your friends BUSINESS ISN’T DOING SO WELL Step 3. Tell everyone on the internet about your secret restaurant. Step 4. Convince everyone of the secrecy and exclusivity of your restaurant. BUSINESS IS BOOMING
Usually I think, “that looks really good, but I’m not gonna die if I don’t have it”. I really am worried what will happen to me if I never have that tartare sandwich!
Just to clarify, oxydisation of beef causes bacteria growth on the outside of the beef, this beef is super fresh and hasnt had a chance to oxydise and hence is safe to eat raw.
To me is really ridiculous to hear that in grass fed cows "you can actually taste grass". Really pretentious comment to show off how much he "understands" beef. Where Im from 80% of the cows are grass fed and nobody can "taste grass" (which is bitter for god's sake!).
I've worked in restaurants for 20 years, and the first time I saw chefs encounter 100% grass fed beef was some expensive piedmontese beef we'd imported for the menu. We didn't continue to import it because the flavor was objectionable. Most grass fed beef is finished for six months on corn to get the flavor that americans are comfortable with. That's why finishing lots are big business. 100% grass fed beef definitely tastes grassy. Almost any animal fed on a unique diet will taste unique. There's a guy in santa cruz who raises abalone and is completely batshit crazy about getting their diet right to promote a certain flavor. if you're eating grass fed beef and not tasting grass, it's because the beef was finished on corn, or you're not paying close enough attention.
Ryan Taylor I understand and accept that when someone is saying that "you can taste the grass" it may not be in a literal sense. Of course I do. What they are saying is that there is a big difference. If Im right assuming that, you shouldnt be able to ACTUALLY TASTE THE GRASS. The difference between feed lot and grass fed in terms of flavor is huge, and I sure can taste it. My objection is that you really cant taste the grass... you simply cant. Its like assuming that because you feed your chicken with spiced up corn they are going to taste spicy (which they are not, obviously). I work in the restaurant industry too, Im a chef same as you are and as I was born and raised in Argentina, believe me, I do eat quite a lot of beef; 5 times a week actually, and Im very responsable and aware of the sourcing so... If its said in a figurative way, Im a 100% with you. But in a literal way... cmon! Im not saying that what the animal eats doesnt translate in its flavor, Im just saying its not math.
Tomás Colo I'm sure that you can smell the grass. And the sense of smell, more often than not, can influence the perceives of taste. So I guess that it is possible to ”taste” the grass from the meat?
Having lived in Kobe I loved to see that chef in a group hug like that - PDAs and closeness and touching in that way are usually frowned upon and I giggled inside because I knew he felt odd and uncomfortable but in a good way. I remember my steep learning curve when I first arrived and literally had to forget all my American ways lol. Anyway looks amazing shame I don’t know anyone that could get me in there for dinner. I bet if you gotta ask the price then you can’t afford it though
When they group hugged him and he giggled. That is what food is about.
Probably out of discomfort. From what I have read and heard that kind of physical contact isn't something they like between friends.
Probably they said in the heart “WHAT THE HELL I JUST EATING RIGHT NOW?”
He's just ticklish.
Hugs and giggles. McDonald’s I’m loving it
Makes sense now

"It's not a marketing ploy." Yes it is.
The Kirby T How can it be a marketing ploy if they're not advertising it?
Meghan Hirsh then what is this video?
Pleeeease, it's a marketing ploy. Food's good, but its faux-secret nature attracts alot of douche types.
The Kirby T exactly...why did you invite them if you only want "your friends" to know about this place lol
How can it be a marketing ploy when it results in fewer customers?

Their "hidden" restaurant no less.

"No you see that wasnt a marketing ploy but this one is, bring all your internet friends to our eatery"
You still cant just walk in the door because you saw a youtube video, so how is it marketing? Changes nothing
@@orlandoalessandrini2505 they're... (gawd dayum!)
A great chef will not leave out any tips and tricks when explaining their dishes...props to this dude

Here in Germany we eat raw Pork :D, It's not a new invention! Ofcourse it has special regulations ^^
Sounds like a person who didn't have any friends growing up opened this place
no, rather had many, too many "friends"..

No longer lol
I like his mustache for sure 1 day he will forget to wear that
This is one of the most painfully hipster concepts ive ever seen
Jesus Christ, you're not gonna die from eating raw beef, especially beef at this quality, some people...
Enjoy your leather.
Then you obviously have no idea how to enjoy such a beautiful piece of beef.. oh well, if you like it that way, be my guest :D
RBuckminsterFuller ahahahha
So beef at amazing quality will kill you?
Cedrick Martinez Reyes why should we care about your health? you have poor taste in food lol.
Exclusiveness is so cool! Just makes you feel sooo special.
I like the host, respecting and they have cooking knowledge.
The best Eater episode so far, culinary brilliance, yum!!!
Ahhh that Philippe shirt! My favorite french dip spot in SoCal. If you have never been, then you just don't know.
Love the respect they have for eachother & wiliness to learn.
does anyone know where this restaurant is in nyc?
After he tried the Tar Tar and went for the hug Hahahahahaha had me dying!
Hipsters that are senior citizens freak me out haha
They are called hippies
Well I mean technically these guys are thecreators of hipster, hippies were popularized in america during the Vietnam war
joe Black
The OGs
Replacement hipsters.
How are these ppl senior citizens? They’re 30-40 lol
The chef is very humble.
I wish I could taste Wagyu beef some day.
Just go to snake river farms website
@@Silentknight052 ok, I will thanks.
The level of humbleness in dis video 👍
Just to trigger Everyone I plan to buy some Wagyu and make it well done...
Just Kidding gonna slice if for Korean BBQ
With ketchup on it
Ketchup? Go straight to the A1 my friend...
You're a monster :D
Put it on a sandwich with plain untoasted bread, cheap mustard, and that shitty american cheese from walmart
I'd do it. I like my steak with pink, not red. Still possible to make a great steak and have it almost well done
My first wagyu i ate my words for it
Its as people say the butter of steaks/meat
Its so soft and easier to eat than normal beef meat
I need this in my life right now.
Thank you for watching!
*Wants a secret hideout.

Where is this place? Kinda interested to visit it
From the word ajito, I'm pretty sure it's from Japanese not russia, and it's chef aki.
3:50 Your friend cooking burgers: they’re done bro chill
5:30 thats called MAILLARD REACTION
Nick Solares taught me everything I know. ;)
That Philippe’s T-Shirt reminds me that i need to stop by on my way home from college
This is the single most pretentious restaurant I have ever heard of
It's New York City, what do you expect? It's obviously geared towards yuppies.
That last cut was a cheap cut of meat, but since its wagyu i bet they charge like crazy for it
If you're talking about the fact you need to be invited by someone who has been there, It's not pretentous. They're not excluding anyone.
It's more like you need to be shown where it is because most of these places have on signage and hidden down some ally-way.
There are heaps of little bars and restaurants like that in Japan but if you do rock up at their door they won't turn you away.
Can you recommend any in Japan?
For Tokyo gnavi co jp/restaurant/list/tokyo/all_area/all_small_area/all_food/all_star/
These two could act Home Alone 3 as the two bad guys lololol. Just love these vids
That "thank you" fight at the end tho~ 😂
The chef is so Japanese. It's pretty funny.
That wagyu beef tartare sandwich though! Hot damn!!
Trailblazers, they put the Americas on the east and Asia, Europe and Australia on the west (wall map). Edgy
That chef looks like 23, he is gunna live for sooo much longer and make up so many more different meals. Im so jealous.
Assistant to the* general manager
Biff discovered a passion for cooking and steak in his later years after doing his car service business and now has a successful TH-cam channel.
Best comment
I only watch shows about food to read people in the comments section arguing about shit that's 100% subjective.
That hair line is something else.
"I know a man that trained to be a came"
The pause made it wierd.
After they hugged him he’s like ok let me go be busy over here
Do you guys think I could get medium rare chicken at that restaurant
Victoria Duval You’ll probably get raw chicken judging by this video lol
Truthshallsetu3 lmfao
Do me.
Terry Hesticles bro
Lol, and you'll get sick.
I love this channel
weirdest business ambition
Prime Time is a fantastic program!
Trust a Japanese chef to take an amazing ingredient and celebrate it so simply in their cooking. They take care of their produce
What he's tasting is "torch taste" from an unfiltered flame directly on the meat.
Eric Sidewater butane must have a Smokey taste lol
The person you should be hugging is the farmer
Great new series. Love these two.
Thanks, Michael!
Do the producers of this show just walk into a hipster bar and pick these guys blindfolded like a roulette ? I think so
no they get them at organic farmers markets
I'm impressed with Ben's and Brent's chopsticks skills in this video. Used it like old pros and not like how westerners usually hold/use them.
I really like these guys
6:07 at first the chef was like "tf you tryna do?" when the host came in for a hug
Jeezus. So much talking in the beginning that by the time they get To the actual steak, it’s already dry aged.
Good one
I like you Sir. Well said.

Also, it is marbling, not marblization

This place seems pretty chill tho
Perfect way to make a secret hideout ..... post a video on youtube about it.
ive watched 3 videos from these guys...GREAT VIDS.. . Who are these guys , anyone know?
My "uncle" took me to a secret restaturant once.
Putting this on my bucket list
Sitting down at a fancy restaurant, smiling at the steak and keeping the smile when you eat it, but then it disappears when the bill comes. 😢
No disrespect, the word “Ajito” (アジト) is a Japanese word that means Hideout. Not sure if it’s also Russian, but shout out if I’m wrong 🕊
good to see dr disrespect dabbling in other areas of entertainment
Usually I think, “that looks really good, but I’m not gonna die if I don’t have it”. I really am worried what will happen to me if I never have that tartare sandwich!
"it's literally a hideout"

This is awesome, I'd love to meet the 2 owners.
Why, do you want to act like an elitist as well?
Just to clarify, oxydisation of beef causes bacteria growth on the outside of the beef, this beef is super fresh and hasnt had a chance to oxydise and hence is safe to eat raw.

Im not saying that what the animal eats doesnt translate in its flavor, Im just saying its not math.
I think he meant you can taste the difference between a grass fed and non grass fed cow in the beef.
Tomás Colo I'm sure that you can smell the grass. And the sense of smell, more often than not, can influence the perceives of taste. So I guess that it is possible to ”taste” the grass from the meat?
