      I'm not gonna lie, when I think of a French Michelin star chef, I picture a pretentious person with big ego but this chef was the exact opposite. What a great man, he deserves all of his success. Even made a point to say his kitchen was a team effort. On a side note, I have never seen a grilled steak that perfectly cooked - looked like a reverse sear. Will be using egg whites on my steak in the future

    I was privileged to work for JG at his flagship in the early 2010s. It was tough--we were expected to be on point all day, every day-but he legitimately is *that* nice and fosters an environment where if you are enthusiastic, disciplined, and willing to learn, you will succeed. I will never forget the day he had many of his staff to a BBQ at his home north of NYC and still have a picture of all of us in his pool. Also super grateful I worked pastry and didn’t have to cut an onion 😂

He explained that it wasn't just a TV character, ramsay actually believes you have to abuse people to push them far enough. A mutual friend actually had ramsay throw a pot of boiling hot sauce at them.
      It definitely seems like ramsay has moved away from the abusiveness, but still believes you have to push people hard. But yeah it's so toxic and unnecessary, we're finally getting past that idea you need to scream at and beat your employees to be successful

    What an honor to cook with a legend such as Jean Georges! The fact that he was for having you there and him attending in person speaks volumes, Josh. He already had confidence in you.

    What a nice guy this one. And such a nice collab. You can tell this chef has class when he is being so nice to papa. That's respect.

    Chef Jean's presence made this video legendary!! As someone who's studying culinary arts with the goal of becoming a Michelin star rated chef specializing in regional filipino cuisine, I'm beyond jealous that someone like Jean George complimented Josh's cooking. This video is spectacular!

    That right there is how an true expert, at the top of their field behaves with a younger also skilled individual. Jean was both complementing and teaching Josh throughout this. Beautiful video.

    Everyone prazing Jean and I'm here to praze him more, not only is he incredibly kind, but you can tell he's also incredibly confident and humble when he isn't afraid to learn from someone who is societly seen as "less of a chef" than him

    This is so sweet; those encouragements from Jean must mean a lot to Joshua, or to any chef for that matter. French chefs have a certain reputation!

    REALLY outdid yourself with this video idea. I rarely leave comments but this was just SO entertaining and fun to watch. Genuinely love watching this because you can see how much passion and joy you both have for what you are doing. Big fan for life. Cant wait for your restaurant, I will fly to Austin just to eat there!

    Jg was treating the cooking as a collaboration. It was nice to see the respect and interest he showed into your dish. I’m sure both were fantastic, in my eyes Jw would be a fantastic early dinner meal before a night out of dancing and Jg’s meal would be a fantastic finish to the night before heading home. All in all I loved both and it looked like fun even if you were obviously nervous.

    I love watching michelin star chefs cook. Everything just comes so naturally and easily to them. They have such a knowledge of ingredients and flavors and techniques that you just give them a concept or a list of ingredients and they make magic out of it.
    Ive cooked for years at home and professionally, and I dont think Ill ever have this level of finesse. Im in awe of it.

    • @Liukas642
      @Liukas642 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Believe in yourself! Dont be afraid to try new things and to mess up. Obviously I am sure there are some more "naturally" talented cooks, but if you spend enough time reading, watching and practicing new techniques and ingredients, improvements will come fast. Maybe you wont be a Michelin Star chef, but having the mentality for learning what truly is good food and why it is good is very crucial.
      The industry is super hard and most of the time it is not about quality, but how many customers you can serve. Which can be completely fine if you have the excellence and fines of a world renown chef. I am not amazing at cooking, just ok to be completely honest, however I have seen an amazing improvement in my skills by simply just going and learning. New ingredients, cultures, how the locals use it and possibly (if there is something) how would a more well known chef utilize it.

    What an honor to cook with such a legend. Well done! 👍 👏👏👏💐
    A major "yes" to pineapple on a pizza juxtaposed with some/the salty/fatty components, ie sausage, anchovies, more cheese. Imo, it works very well.

    This was a treat of an episode, for sure.
