It's not your comment...start writing your own jokes...
@@lars6637 you don't have to tell a new joke every time. You can tell an old joke with a new suitable context.
Man that was so relatable when he was discussing how the truffles weren't good because it was too cold that week in Italy. I know exactly how he feels I really hate when that happens.
It’s the absolute worst
Deadset hey, especially when the wrong sized peas arrive, it really boils my blood and ruins my week.

🤣🤣🤣 DUDE!!!!!!
You win the internet for today
Ho man
none of you plebs understand good cuisine or attention to detail. stay mad
There is a certain point where a meal turns from cooking into art. You're no longer paying for food, you're paying for a piece of these chefs' lives. The dedication and amount of practice that goes into these plates are tremendous. How many hundreds of dollars did they waste on ingredients, making that roasted duck for two weeks before finally meeting the Chefs requirement to be served?
Absolutely phenomenal.
You’d love The Menu 👨🍳
and thats exactly why high class restaurants are bad imo
Had the pleasure of dining here. Was incredible. I was joking with the Maiter D after dinner about when the kitchen tour began. She said, "Whenever you are ready." She pulled a young man off the floor and took us on a tour of everything. Chef came off the line to greet us and my first question was, "How can it be so quiet in here." so this video was very similar to my experience. I spent an hour in the kitchen and was able to speak with many about their part. They truly love what they are doing. Another thing very interesting is that all of the awards the restaurant has won are in a back hallway for only the staff to see. I'm sure to server as a reminder to bring that every day. I'd work there for free just to peel potatoes.
It's great to hear they are still doing business
Im just happy he became a chef and not a serial killer. They would never catch this guy.. way too meticulous.
Good point. But maybe he does both of those "occupations" ?
U never know... Maybe he uses those delivery guys who didn't gave him what he wanted as secret ingredients 😄😄😄

to be honest if I was in his position I would want to be like this too. he's literally keeping the name and reputation of one of the great chefs and probably a close friend of his
I work in the restaurant next door so I see this dude all the time. He’s super chill
That's great to hear. I've worked with few guys like him in my career. In my experience these hardcore French chefs come across as total hardasses but are actually really cool and funny when you get to know them.

I love how they keep the kitchen quite. And avoid noises to keep focus on their dishes.
This is not the first time I see this video and everytime I'm just mindblown of their dedication and effort, its unreal.
This dude legit checks the weather forecast for the places that he gets his truffle from to be able to plan his dishes for the next weekend...that’s some serious dedication
You call it dedication, I'll call it madness.
@@BlueDragon1504 Madness is it's own form of dedication.

To work in a 3 star michellin restaurant with as little noise as possible just goes to show how skilled the individual cooks are.
I have been watching this video again and again over the last 6 years. I am still amazed.

That density in the chef tells me that his dishes are gonna be loved by all
Basically if your food is super detailed, it means someone has been intensely staring at it/breathing on it for a while.
Underrated detail, and comment 😂
I thought the same thing 😂😂 give a Juan to throw that burrito together
Exactly

The white truffles are so undercooked it told me that the princess was in another castle
"Everynight we compete who has the best mashed potato and obviously i win everytime, so i stopped competing." The confidence level is 10000/100
at the end where he says "why you talking" for me makes sense. i started working in a in a fine dining place in vancouver, and its actually pretty quiet where i work, compared to the places before where I have been. pretty cool seeing this
I went to that restaurant and one of my parsley dots was too big. Not going back there again.

I'm a fan of this chef. He's really meticulous and pragmatic. The food look fantastic.
After watching this video I had a feeling like I was in museum. What an amazing people!
i like how he still talks about his old boss like the boss is alive and he's still working for him. That's respect and humility right there.
He worked for one of the greatest chefs who have ever lived, what a dream!

@@alexstillwell1619 Lots of people in the bussines are
From the videos I've watched from this channel, two factors are essential for restaurants to get a Michelin star: Chefs with OCD level perfectionism and using caviar on many things
Perfectionism of a craft is a beautiful thing to see and deserves RESPECT even if you know you will never eat at that restaurant.
Chef: I smile three times a week
When I get white truffles, when I get the right peas and one time when i get to sleep for these sweet 2 hours.
Smile Only when i see perfect perfect and perfect
Thats how three times

That’s not a restaurant, that’s a lab where people create edible art
the same reason why I only buy copies and not original art. pointlessly expensive at my income range
NOMA that is art
You cant even eat the food, cause of the guilt of tearing apart its art
lol
Yes, you are wrong if you think all restaurants are to be full. These restaurants are to taste.
What a visual feast (pun intended) to watch this video. The detail shots along with creating context through interviewing the master chefs was great.
This is above and beyond amazing stuff. I couldn't do this job its too meticulous but god bless this chef and his team.

"You can reach for perfection, but if you achieve it, something is wrong."
But the mash potatoes though. That's perfection.
say that,but slower.
"It is human flaws that makes them perfect."

A lot of things are wrong by that standard then. If everything has to be done to perfection in order to leave the kitchen, no food would ever leave the kitchen.

His accent sounds more expensive than my dignity
Hes frensh
Frensh
Just frensh
What dignity?
its frnech with a ch guys
this is so much more then food, this is truly art they are making
I love the fact that there’s no yelling, the quieter the kitchen the more focus there is, this is why he’s a 32 Michelin star chef……..
This guy: We work in a quiet kitchen.
*Enters Gordon Ramsy*
The odd thing about that is both of them were trained by the same icon- Joël Robuchon, awarded the most Michelin stars in history (32).
WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUCE!!!!!!!
@@pingapang8155 YOU DONKEY!
The thing is that these type of Michelin Star restaurants have a set menu allowing them to work quietly as everyone knows their job. In the restaurants ramsey visits there is the need for noise.
There is a need for noise as menus vary and not every customer gets the same thing.
"Where's our food??"
*The chef is still measuring it ma'am/sir*
Hahaha
LMAO best comment
Please someone should hide The ruler📐 😂
Ahhaha

Highly impressive! Beautiful example how a psychosis for food looks like :)
Lovin it!
It takes a lot of Sweat and Hard work to be such a passionate Chef lots of pressure to continually live up to your standards when your a perfectionist. Cheers to you and your staff.

Even a pro will never say no to you
He's right about how when you try really hard to get something right and you finally do, it is the best feeling ever. Working towards perfection altough youll never achieve it is what we should work toward. He seems to do it with a good attitude and seems to be mentally healthy.

Foie gras? Disgusting. I hope they go out of business.
I mean he’s really meticulous, but you can kind of understand why: people are paying around $350 or more per person to eat here, so their expectations are gonna be through the roof
Agreed. Customers get crazy at the resteraunt work and they spending between 80-120 per person in the evening. He is on a whole other level.
@@mark8987 You're wrong. It has nothing to do with it. There is a swedish restaurant that serves only local food, even rotten food in one instance (which isn't really unusual in Nordic or isle nations but this is a unique plant), has a really old churning machine for icecream that makes a lot of noise for everyone and thrives on the dissimilarity and uniqueness of every experience.
This guy chose this type of thing and it probably works for Las Vegas where you have a lot of people going to experience a little bit (or a lot) of luxury and pampering rather than innovation or genuinity.
sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A4viken_Magasinet
They may have changed, so check out their website if you want. Stil I can see that they are fully booked for a month now.
Anyway for me, food is alot more about ambiance and taste (and possibly company) rather than plating and I would rather pay for that than perfect little circles. But to each their own.
The total experience is much more expensive too. Too expensive IMO but hey. Again, everything is relative.
Any Michelin star restaurant is at least 400-500 per person plus gratuities and plus drinks
@@dragenboy95 you're an idiot and most likely have never been to a starred restaurant. Mirazur, 2019 world's best restaurant, charges 160 euro per person for 6 course menu. Most 1 star restaurants charge below 100, unless they happen to be in a very expensive location such as Central London.
Businesses create value even when there is none.

"We try to be quiet" The polar opposite of Gordon Ramsay and I love it!!!
"everybody knows what they're supposed to do. why you talking?" love that
What I appreciate about him is that he is ever so meticulous with his craft, but he doesn't come off as snobby. He says there's always room for improvement, even when it's the best thing you've made, but he doesn't down talk it, or humiliate it. He's most definitely strict, but he's not uptight.
He's passionate. And I respect that.
Anthony Sanchez That's the first thing I noticed about him. It's great compared to other Master Chefs...
Unlike gordon. Its like. Naaaaah
Yeah thats what I see in this guy. A very dedicate chef who wants his food worth his customers money. No customers need perfection, they just want to see their chef trying his best.
Well there is a camera in front of him. I can see him spitting on his employees when the cameras are off.
They all say the same tho! And I bet he's a different person when the camera's aren't rolling..I bet that place is a miasma of fear. Or maybe not. Maybe the chefs-de-partie can stand up to him. But given the french tradition in the kitchen, I bet it's a miasma of fear.

@@lahkooky504westside3 Ain't his either. It's Mr. Robuchon's. XD
Im guessing the mashed potatoes for him is a great reminder of the chef he looks up to. Thats why he wouldnt change it, thats why for him, its perfect. Just like your moms cooking. And i think he only changes his own or his teams recipe, but not the old chef..
Mashed Potatoes are always perfect, no matter what.
I agree mashed potatoes are perfect
I’m not sure if anyone’s pointed it out but, Chef definitely won that mash potato contest, he was quick and his dish came out a lot smoother and elegant…
I have been doing my internship in a hotel in Dubai for the last 5 months and I thought I had learnt a lot but after watching this, I understand that to even get to the level of their lowest grade chef will take me years.
