@@johnwking29 in nearly every 3* restaurant they pay attention to a LOT of details... be it from the way you wear your watch (which indicates if you're left or right handed) resulting in the way your cutlery is setup to well, the water...
You should’ve done it wearing a hidden camera to get a real review of the place. They could’ve been treating you better because they know you came to review the food and upload it online
Been to Benu in SF and it's pretty much exactly how he describes/shows it. Most of those staff are true professionals who have spent decades working in the industry. You don't need a hidden camera to be treated well at Benu, that is just what those people are hired to do. Can't speak for Blue Hill at Stone Barns though.
The first restaurant sounded so expensive at first, but after he went through the 2nd and 3rd one, the first is the only one that worth it. Third one look like it has the most delicious food though.
no your dad buying you a good time when you turn 18 is an experience. what really trips me out tho is people that pay this kind of money for mid food at best while your sitting down doing nothing and calling it an experience is what tickles me.@@getjuiced
@@davidpowers9178experience of the place comes from your company and the ambiance personally, there’s something about going to a nice food place dressed well with a person or people you want to go with. The whole act of getting ready and looking sharper than usual for food that you normally wouldn’t try is the experience. Adding a little hop into the “normal” things in life is what makes it better imo. I went to a Michelin star restaurant here in England the food was an elevated version of normal Indian street food and courses although by the end it was £250 for the night I enjoyed my company and it would be something I would want to do 4-6 times a year on special occasions. Overall, life is what YOU want it to be my friend!
@@davidpowers9178the experience is trying new foods. The goal isn’t to stuff yourself and feel full. It’s not about getting your money’s worth in food.
@@User000-o5y spending a thousand dollars on a restaurant for one person is insane. Im sure the food taste good but unless it gives me super powers or makes my lower region bigger its a complete rip off.
The 2nd one is definitely a cult lmaoo, they move like literal npc's, they brought you a skull of a big and a dead bird and it just kinda reminds me of a cult in many ways
Not that different. These are Michelin rated restaurants, you don't get those stars unless your service is perfect. Much more likely tbe negative reviews are outliers
There is one important thing to point out. No boujie restaurant is gonna be disrespectful to the guy carrying a selfie stick, recording for millions of people, demonstrating what their business is all about.
having been to benu before, it was pretty much exactly like what he describes and shows on video. Even got to meet the chef at the end in the kitchen the same way he does. MOST (but not all) Michelin starred places pick their FOH staff well and are super chatty and personable and generally really nice, and this holds even more true at the 2-3 star level.
yeh thats normal but i still agree- the menu was the first thing that came to mind with the staff all waiting outside, the way the building looked, the tour, ect
@@LucielStarz123 Definitely not poor. I just understand the value of a dollar. Really rich people don't eat like this either. Just look how Warren Buffet lives. He drives a 10 year old car and looks to buy cars with hail damage. He lived in the same house his whole life.

I wouldn't be surprised if you got extra good service at the third restaurant because you were filming. I could be wrong, but they did invite you into the kitchen and it would obviously be a bad image if a popular youtuber filmed a bad experience. Besides that, food looked amazing!

You don't get a 3 star because 1 food critics came and said it was great.

I used to work at a 3 Michelin star restaurant in NYC. Yes, you are trained to be in unison with the whole team, you are supposed to be very attentive to the tables, as soon as they are done eating you take the plates away but NEVER before, every single detail from the silverware to the way we folded the napkin in the truffle box had to be perfection and nothing less. I have never cried at a job until working there, but it made me appreciate luxury so much more. It was not just about being fancy and expensive. Everyone was passionate about fine dining and giving guests the best experience. You almost crying of joy while eating is the perfect example. That is why I love going to fine-dining restaurants. Of course, some are not that great, but the ones that are- are truly worth it!
As a consumer, This entire over fancy and over dramatic dining experience is exactly why I hate it. Seller is overpricing to bluff, buyer is overpaying for their ego. It’s just a place of fake people. Just like any luxury clothing and art painting. I guess you’ve never been to poor countries and grew up in a wealthy household? I would rather enjoy a hole in the wall family spot, or street noodle place. Sitting in a park or lake to enjoy the food truck. The fancy restaurants is just a way to rip off rich people and mid class “wanna be” people to get them into a bad spending habits and be a money and life style slave forever. As a worker, of course I enjoy working at high end restaurants, as long as there are enough rich people come to visit. I know I will have a fat paycheck that will last me hundreds of good regular Ramen, Thai food, buffets. Here is another 20/80 rule, you pay 20% of the price in a mid tier restaurant and will get 80% of experiences of those overpriced starred restaurants. Or it could even be 10/90 rule. 10% of $1000 is $100, I can guarantee you there are places that cost $100 a meal and would offer you almost the same experience. I feel sorry for you if you cry because something is so fancy or clean. You over charge people 10-20 times of a meal, this is the least you can do to please customers, be glad boss didn’t ask you to dance or wear roller skates to serve food
@@MarcoAshfordYou sound like you can't afford treating yourself once in a while and you've rationalised this hatred against expensive things as "over fancy" and "over dramatic". It's called elegance. If you don't get it, just say that.
@@acex222 Oh my friend, you understand "elegance" entirely wrong... This is the definition of "Luxury", has nothing to do with elegance. Luxury is not a good thing, it is ok for established people to splurge a bit because they are generating massive passive income. But for 99% of the young viewers online, it is an absolute disaster to their perception of the world and their own financial savings. It is NOT ok to have a $1000 meal here and there. First it's a birthday meal, then you justify it on new year's celebration, then thanksgiving, then you ended up going there every few months or even weeks and found yourself never saved up anything in your 20s,30s. A person can be very elegant in Olive Garden, Red Lobster or even just a burger shop. As long as he/she is showing manners, dress well, respect, having a mature social interaction. Not showing off how much money they spent or talk loud in public. Luxury spending will only build you a bad habit. You would lost the sense of real values and keep going back to these consumer traps encouraged by social media. I treat myself very often but never in a wasteful way. To me, going on a normal trip, go out to a Korean BBQ, hotpot, buffet style eat is a treat itself. Spend $1000 more on a meal don't bring you any health benefits or financial benefits, all it does is some ego satisfaction. TH-camrs post here showing all the emotions and positive feedbacks, it is entirely because this will get them more views. Eating there is their way of making money back. If you ask them behind the camera would they go back to these places to pay that price for the food, the honest answer is hell no. If over spending is your way of being elegant, that is very pathetic and irresponsible.
This was fun. I love that you shared the bill afterwards. I've only been to one 1-star Michelin restaurant. It was amazing and about $75/person plus more for drinks. Luckily, I took my mom and she doesn't drink, lol. The food portions were small, but by the time we finished all the courses, we were both so full. I really want to try more restaurant. It's a little too expensive to be a regular hobby, but maybe once a year would be good.

As Chinese American, I can tell the last restaurant has fantastic Chinese/Asian fusion food. But i would never spend over $1000 on half of a store bought century egg and some frog legs. The ingredients of that meal cannot cost over $100. I’m not paying $900 for the environment, wait staff and 5 minutes meet and greed with the chef. I would waste my money on some food I’m less familiar with. 😂
you obviously have no clue what it takes to actually make food look and taste like that. It takes a HUGE team of culinary professionals. That costs money.
@@justin783 i know exactly what it takes to cook those items. It’s for clueless people like you guys these restaurants survive, lol. A tiny fraction of your price goes to the ingredients and cooks. Most of it goes to overhead, that’s the fancy place they are renting, the 12 waiters standing around, the electricity, water, lawyers, marketing, pr…and the owners lambo.
@@jz4057 Still you have no idea how much time and effort it takes to create & prepare all of these dishes. It's like saying Ferrari should sell cars at a Kia level
In case yall didnt know, working at a michelin star restaurant is in fact working at a cult. This goes from 1 -3 stars. Also, the money isn't always good enough to justify the bullying, constant studying, stress , and cult behavior.
I was thinking of visit Michelin Restaurant once myself. However if you go to these places, expect less about having huge serving meals, the whole point of fine dining is the present art of food, the dish, the story of the dish and much more.
The TH-cam algorithm is doing its job correctly because you have now become one of my top fav TH-camrs ❤ love the content. And now binging your videos 😂
tbh cancelling last minute or showing up with a smaller party than your reservation at a michelin star restaurant grants irritation, it costs them a lot of money not having that table filled, especially since they usually do not have a lot of tables per day over their extensive x-course menus (its not fast food). that''s why in some places in europe at least they make you pay a sum of money up front per person. they did not get mad because they we're doing their job: service and you were filming, but you should not pull stuff like this (unless you give a huge tip).
The first restaurant interior is smart and amazing. There's a lot of people that get intimidated by fancy interior even tho they can afford their food and i think this interior speaks to the people more.
The second restaurant definitely gives the menu vibes from the first dish to the way the waitress stuff was moving really creepy but cool love this video❤
My village here in Uganda rented a projector to show this food video to our children. We are starving here and we dream to one day have food like overweight Americans. Your video brought happieness, dreams and joy to the tribal children. Thanker you. Sorry my english not so happy.
Crazy how easy it is to get away with subpar food and decor with these "fancy" restaurants. That third one looked liked one of my classrooms in high school ffs - but the food did seem really great. Now, the second one just felt like a straight up scam to me. They serve you overprice and rare ingredients, barely cook up a recipe and call it a day. The first one was much more acceptable. The place looked cool, cozy, and the price was decent.
michelin is a tire company, think the hope in publishing the guide is that they'd find restaurants so good peeps would be willing to travel to them via driving, hence using Michelin tires. and i see you driving, so it worked. does your car have Michelin tires?
I do not believe multiple people report bad service or food unless they experienced it. Glad you had a good experience. You had reasons for them to be on their best behavior. You are recording...they knew millions would see this. You are a content creator, some people just recognize you. I have never found a consistant restaurant and service for everyone. It's almost impossible
The second restaurant looks very unappetizing, and some people would probably lose their appetites. Very cult-like and scary. 10/10 would never want to go.
The service would probably be different if they couldn't clearly see that he had a camera. People tend to put their best foot forward when they're in 4K.
Have you ever been to a Michelin star restaurant? The impeccable service is a large part of how they justify their high price tag. I definitely don't think they would invite every customer to the kitchen, but excellent service is completely expected at these places.
@@draig8259 There are always different levels of customers and just because excellent service is expected doesn't mean its what every customer receives, they are still human not robots even staff at these places can have off days or just react badly to a situation.
This is standard service and the expectation at a 3 michelin star restaurant. Having been to Benu, I can affirm that it is pretty much exactly like what was shown in the video. Out of ~35 3-stars visited, I cannot think of the last time I had an empty water glass, and I've never seen them try to take food while it was still on the table unless I told them I was finished. Restaurants like benu have almost as many staff in FOH as there are diners, so you will almost always have someone looking after you and taking care of your needs.
i'm actually amazed after you went inside into the first restaurant, it gives me some kind of feeling just based on that short videos showing the atmosphere, makes me wanna go there!
Cool video! I live in San Francisco and haved walked by Benu many times. One day, Out of curiosity I looked at their menu and was shocked at their prices! Needless to say I’ve never had dinner there! 😂
can you do this without showing your camera? like eating and taking yourself a video without noticing..they are all wholesome and generous coz they know your are vlogging..a good example is this 15:02

Dude, bring an animal corpse to the table while you're eating is wild. It gave me the same vibe as that scene at the end of A Christmas Story where they say the duck is smiling at them and the waiter chops its head off and looked at them like "bon appetit"
I know you probably didn't know what you were doing, but you literally cost Benu a ton of money by reducing your reservation last minute. It's not a TGI Friday's. They spend the entire day prepping the meal for each reservation. You changing your reservation literally as you show up creates a lot of wasted food and wasted time for the chefs working so hard. It's disrespectful.
I've been watching alot of your videos in the past few days and I find it very entertaining. Hope you fly in Asia and try cheap foods that have michelin stars, most of them are in Thailand, Taiwan adn Singapore. Hope you do this eventually. Amazing work!

The first restaurant looks like something I would actually try. Seems cozy, warm, and inviting. Plus that egg salad sandwich looked SO good.
That third restaurant seemed so wholesome. Not to mention, it took only twenty seconds for his water to be refilled.

Luxury spending will only build you a bad habit. You would lost the sense of real values and keep going back to these consumer traps encouraged by social media. I treat myself very often but never in a wasteful way. To me, going on a normal trip, go out to a Korean BBQ, hotpot, buffet style eat is a treat itself. Spend $1000 more on a meal don't bring you any health benefits or financial benefits, all it does is some ego satisfaction.
TH-camrs post here showing all the emotions and positive feedbacks, it is entirely because this will get them more views. Eating there is their way of making money back. If you ask them behind the camera would they go back to these places to pay that price for the food, the honest answer is hell no.
If over spending is your way of being elegant, that is very pathetic and irresponsible.

This was fun. I love that you shared the bill afterwards. I've only been to one 1-star Michelin restaurant. It was amazing and about $75/person plus more for drinks. Luckily, I took my mom and she doesn't drink, lol. The food portions were small, but by the time we finished all the courses, we were both so full. I really want to try more restaurant. It's a little too expensive to be a regular hobby, but maybe once a year would be good.
That second one was nightmare fuel, but the other two looked nice

13:04 bro had a ratatouille moment
As Chinese American, I can tell the last restaurant has fantastic Chinese/Asian fusion food. But i would never spend over $1000 on half of a store bought century egg and some frog legs. The ingredients of that meal cannot cost over $100. I’m not paying $900 for the environment, wait staff and 5 minutes meet and greed with the chef. I would waste my money on some food I’m less familiar with. 😂
you obviously have no clue what it takes to actually make food look and taste like that. It takes a HUGE team of culinary professionals. That costs money.
It's not about the ingredients, it's about the labor and prep to make them lol. You're paying for the experience not just the ingredients...
@@justin783 i know exactly what it takes to cook those items. It’s for clueless people like you guys these restaurants survive, lol. A tiny fraction of your price goes to the ingredients and cooks. Most of it goes to overhead, that’s the fancy place they are renting, the 12 waiters standing around, the electricity, water, lawyers, marketing, pr…and the owners lambo.
Yes clearly you know the amount of experience and labor it takes to cook those dishes. You're saying you can make it then? LMAO@@jz4057
@@jz4057 Still you have no idea how much time and effort it takes to create & prepare all of these dishes. It's like saying Ferrari should sell cars at a Kia level
the middle restaurant doesn't look bad, it just really reminds me of "The Menu" Horror movie, mixed with a hint of "The Wicker man"
In case yall didnt know, working at a michelin star restaurant is in fact working at a cult. This goes from 1 -3 stars. Also, the money isn't always good enough to justify the bullying, constant studying, stress , and cult behavior.
Ok weird
have you worked at a michelin star restaurant? Where? Have you experience a legit cult? Yellow Deli/12 tribes, Scientology, etc?
So the staff isn’t getting paid? Or is Sarah here just talking completely out of her rear end?
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448 “money isn’t always good enough” dummy
@@jabrokneetoeknee6448where did she say they don’t get paid? 😂
that second restaurant was giving "the menu" vibes. I would've sprinted outta there
I was thinking of visit Michelin Restaurant once myself. However if you go to these places, expect less about having huge serving meals, the whole point of fine dining is the present art of food, the dish, the story of the dish and much more.
Fine dining is art but also food has taste good if it mid it a scam
😂 them bringing out them vegetables NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
The TH-cam algorithm is doing its job correctly because you have now become one of my top fav TH-camrs ❤ love the content. And now binging your videos 😂
tbh cancelling last minute or showing up with a smaller party than your reservation at a michelin star restaurant grants irritation, it costs them a lot of money not having that table filled, especially since they usually do not have a lot of tables per day over their extensive x-course menus (its not fast food). that''s why in some places in europe at least they make you pay a sum of money up front per person. they did not get mad because they we're doing their job: service and you were filming, but you should not pull stuff like this (unless you give a huge tip).
The second one had me waiting for Ralph Fiennes to step out holy crap lol
The first restaurant interior is smart and amazing. There's a lot of people that get intimidated by fancy interior even tho they can afford their food and i think this interior speaks to the people more.
It reminds of the movie "The Menu" except nobody gets killed.
As far as you know that is… 👀
that we know of...
Asian trahan
Yes, alot of similarities
Try without camera
I know right. It Defeats the purpose 😂😂

@SunnyBloxia it's kinda crazy how that he a asian or chinese or something else idk gets everything right and perfect
7:30 that place is like The Menu
I think the first restaurant with the one Michelin star is the best.
The second restaurant definitely gives the menu vibes from the first dish to the way the waitress stuff was moving really creepy but cool love this video❤
Love the Ryan Trahan vibe the thumbnail and this vid gives
My village here in Uganda rented a projector to show this food video to our children. We are starving here and we dream to one day have food like overweight Americans. Your video brought happieness, dreams and joy to the tribal children. Thanker you. Sorry my english not so happy.
Crazy how easy it is to get away with subpar food and decor with these "fancy" restaurants. That third one looked liked one of my classrooms in high school ffs - but the food did seem really great. Now, the second one just felt like a straight up scam to me. They serve you overprice and rare ingredients, barely cook up a recipe and call it a day. The first one was much more acceptable. The place looked cool, cozy, and the price was decent.
michelin is a tire company, think the hope in publishing the guide is that they'd find restaurants so good peeps would be willing to travel to them via driving, hence using Michelin tires. and i see you driving, so it worked. does your car have Michelin tires?
This was the hope back in the early 1900s. Nowadays it's really become its own thing
Dylan is actually Asian Ryan Trahan
4:01 I thought at first it was Jenna Ortega! 🤣
TEH FRENCH FRIES FROM THE FIRST RESTAURANT!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! they looked so yummy!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
13:15 a tiny ratatouille moment :)
i love asian ryan trahan

Glad that this video was recommended, can't wait to binge all your content. You're FUN
It was fun having your girlfriend in there for this one, it was definitely nice to have another opinion and someone for you to talk to about it with.
Bro didn't even touch his expensive fries 3:43 😭
Who wants fries when there are more interesting things?
I think yor channel is going to boom…
You’re doing great buddy
Keep it up…
Wow you really went out there trying out new and exotic cuisines. It was only the price that made me say, yea I'm never eating there.
1:24 - i love that the windows are so high...feels more cosy
I really enjoy your videos. I hope you make enough to cover your expenses from TH-cam. It’s nice living vicariously through your adventures.
immediatley subscribed, loved the video and the style of editing!
FINISH YO FOOD BRUH.
He probably ate it but not on camera
He literally did...it's so expensive wtf are you talking about 😂
He left the fries.
Yeah maybe he’s working on his summer bod- bc taking a trip to an island??? :-)
I do not believe multiple people report bad service or food unless they experienced it. Glad you had a good experience. You had reasons for them to be on their best behavior. You are recording...they knew millions would see this. You are a content creator, some people just recognize you. I have never found a consistant restaurant and service for everyone. It's almost impossible
naw that second restaurant reminds me of "The Menu"
You did great once again! The dead bird and the pig skull were disturbing. What in the world?
I mean you have a video sooo of course they'll present the best service. I still love the video content though, you deserve more views
exactly
This is standard service and the expectation at the 2-3 star places.
Blue hill actually puts a lot of effort into growing their vegetables, they SPECIFICALLY focused on flavor with the vegetables
13:13 ratatoullie moment ❤
The second restaurant looks very unappetizing, and some people would probably lose their appetites. Very cult-like and scary. 10/10 would never want to go.
W video as always, I remember when I watched your roblox videos and its crazy to see where you have come, good luck on your journey dylan!
Hey Dylan I luv these Ryan Trahan type videos keep making more!
ngl this was a good video to be recommended by TH-cam
🙏🙏
The service would probably be different if they couldn't clearly see that he had a camera. People tend to put their best foot forward when they're in 4K.
Have you ever been to a Michelin star restaurant? The impeccable service is a large part of how they justify their high price tag. I definitely don't think they would invite every customer to the kitchen, but excellent service is completely expected at these places.
@@draig8259 There are always different levels of customers and just because excellent service is expected doesn't mean its what every customer receives, they are still human not robots even staff at these places can have off days or just react badly to a situation.
third restaurant saw the camera and knew to have somebody ready to help him at any second 😂💯
This is standard service and the expectation at a 3 michelin star restaurant. Having been to Benu, I can affirm that it is pretty much exactly like what was shown in the video. Out of ~35 3-stars visited, I cannot think of the last time I had an empty water glass, and I've never seen them try to take food while it was still on the table unless I told them I was finished. Restaurants like benu have almost as many staff in FOH as there are diners, so you will almost always have someone looking after you and taking care of your needs.
just found you today and i can’t stop binging your videos! great job dude
Ryan Trahan ahh video 💀
not even
Real
@@pitxuqqwhether you like it or not, it is.

i'm actually amazed after you went inside into the first restaurant, it gives me some kind of feeling just based on that short videos showing the atmosphere, makes me wanna go there!
9:10 the way my jaw DROPPED.
😭😭😭
Been watching your channel grow for several years now :)
Funny watching someone who has zero experience in the world of fine dining. I worked for years in the them! Great content
Cool video!
I live in San Francisco and haved walked by Benu many times.
One day,
Out of curiosity I looked at their menu and was shocked at their prices!
Needless to say I’ve never had dinner there!
😂
can you do this without showing your camera? like eating and taking yourself a video without noticing..they are all wholesome and generous coz they know your are vlogging..a good example is this 15:02

Restaurants like benu have almost as many staff in FOH as there are diners, so you will almost always have someone looking after you and taking care of your needs.

Dude, bring an animal corpse to the table while you're eating is wild. It gave me the same vibe as that scene at the end of A Christmas Story where they say the duck is smiling at them and the waiter chops its head off and looked at them like "bon appetit"
I know you probably didn't know what you were doing, but you literally cost Benu a ton of money by reducing your reservation last minute. It's not a TGI Friday's. They spend the entire day prepping the meal for each reservation. You changing your reservation literally as you show up creates a lot of wasted food and wasted time for the chefs working so hard. It's disrespectful.
🥴 really?
@@crazyfire9470 Yes really
Sounds like he had to pay for a 2-top anyways bc he said he payed $1000 and it didn't look like he got a pairing. Benu's tasting menu is ~$375
Bro is mimicking Ryan Trahan’s entertainment algorithm 💀
That’s what I was thinking too
I've been watching alot of your videos in the past few days and I find it very entertaining. Hope you fly in Asia and try cheap foods that have michelin stars, most of them are in Thailand, Taiwan adn Singapore. Hope you do this eventually. Amazing work!

Very Ryan Trahan-esque
Ryan trahan style... I like it
Why does everyone copy Ryan Trahan?
The xiao long bao was your Ratatouille critic moment, when he tasted the ratatouille and remembered his childhood
World's most expensive restaurants and didn't even leave the USA! 🙄
I think when you record a restaurant there's a high possibility they'll try to give you the best service possible
Bro just spent $1,000 on a frog's leg and rotten egg🤷🏼♂️😂.
I mean with 700k views the video probs pays for it
Bro (you) only dislikes frog leg because you've never tried it before.
The cult restaurant is terrifying i will leave as soon as i could it gave me the menu vibes
