Done.
Hi there, thanks for this RESTERAUNT review of sorts, However, , as much as I try I can't find the location, WILL you please provide me with the name of and address or at least the contact info. Of this great looking place / RESTERAUNT PLEASE.!?. I'd so much appreciate it.,Thank you.🎀.
WHEN I HEAD HOME!!
Use some Branzino, or European Striped bass from he Med sea.. NY fish market is stocked
Detroit boy!!!
I have to admit the tortilla press to evenly flatten the fluke was genius
Right! We are constantly learning something new.
Ye I’m using that
I'm definitely trying that
Yup that was sick
Agreed
What a fantastic atmosphere Chef has created here. The team seems to genuinely enjoy their (admittedly very hard) work and the fact that they talk casually, honestly and respectfully to each other speaks volumes. Beautiful looking food as well. Can't wait to hop the R to Brooklyn!
The sarcasm lol
Seems like a great restaurant to learn/train in as a young chef.
I could do without their profanity but they seem like nice guys. I could work with them
@@BigboiiToneif you don't like profanity I don't think you would make it in any professional kitchen
@@BigboiiTone I don't understand how you function in any professional environment if you can't handle some profanity 😂
What stands out is the teamwork. They seem to work very well together. It looks like they’re constantly able to learn new things from each other and have some nice banter along the way. A lot can be mimicked, not just in a kitchen.
How could you hear anything??
Not many kitchens will work like this but clearly chef Mitchell's is an exception. Obviously the cameras are there and everyone puts on a bit of a face but you tell how appreciative his cooks and chefs are for the opportunity he gives them to learn and excel. As he mentioned, I think it's so important to allow young cooks/chefs the chance to work multiple stations and get the perspective of how everything gets put together - so they can learn to embrace the new challenges and techniques as opposed to being intimidated by them.
Dang how many losers are trying to fix this
I noticed they did a lot of showy cuts when preparing the fish fillets. Definitely making it look good for the camera. Normally they could have prepped that fish in like four cuts
14:35 "How are you gonna give up? Its your mise en place cuz." 😂 bro is so cool to have as a Executive chef compared to other chefs on this show
word, hes street but professional
Proves that chefs don’t need to be Aholes.
I love how when he decided to test out the new dish that he let all his chefs try it and give an opinion. Also how he jumps in there with his team and is willing to help get things done. You can tell by the way the team is happy to do their job that there is a lot of love and respect in this kitchen ! Love it !
I have both fish and unless the sauce is actually the main part the stripe bass is way better. Guarantee if he had just the fish alone he would have seen how much better the stripe bass actually is.
Tuck them wings cuh! 😂😂😂 love his personality 💯
Love how chef lets his people venture out & do they’re own thing. Noticed lots of times certain chefs have to do the main concepts , not saying it’s a bad thing but it’s always nice experiencing new things
Yes that way we can hon our skills and sometimes you find someone who just has something special that wouldn't have been discovered if they only followed your way. He's a true leader.
Awesome chef, speaks so casually, no pretentiousness
What a pleasure it has been seeing Charlie progress as a chef from the times we worked along side each other here in the Detroit Metro area to where he is now.
Wow you knew him!
That's awesome where did the two of you work? Cuz I gotta go check it out!
I’ve never wanted to eat somewhere so badly, what an amazing job the chef and team are doing.

I will be there in August!
@@S3LifestyleI love your channel!!!
@@Tennisisreallyfun Awh thanks so much :D
That fluke roll thing is next level 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
They just copied the dish from Jamal James Kent
This is amazing to see chef!! As a black women chef, it's incredible. We are still hidden in this field and to see this and your team is so inspiring!
Hey just be a chef. Being black or woman don’t matter.
@@nicholasming5976your statement is certainly giving ‘I’m superior cause I’m ⚪️◽️🏳️, and white is the only “right” that really matters’ vibes…what is it that triggers you people so much if whiteness(male) is not centered? Cause if it didn’t bother you, you wouldn’t reply to another person what “should” or shouldn’t matter…to them…as if their lived life experiences are only valid if YOU agree/validate that they are…clearly it matters…A LOT…so, here’s a🥛for your tears…cause you’re not the center of the universe…not that it “matters”🙄👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾

@@S3Lifestyle thanks I have subscribed!
@@luketargett2233 appreciate that! Thanks so much 😊
What an amazing place! I love seeing Black folks show up and excel in spaces that you least expect and it feels even better to see them act like men I grew up with or in my family. Bussin on each other, the music, the care. I’ve only eaten at one James Beard award winner and never a spot with a star but I’d love to eat here. Also Tatiana. It’s a great time for Black Chefs.
Lol funny you say that because if you go online you would think black people think they are the greatest cooks on earth because they eat mac and cheese and chicken wings😂
@@Johndoe-gf7eu you can do the exact same thing and find white people parading around literal grey slop as if theyre the next gordon ramsay 😂 dumbasses arent predominant to a specific group of people identified by the amount of melanin in their skin lmao
What a great culture this Chef has created for his employees. You can clearly see they are passionate about their work and it shows in the food.
Chef Max is speaking facts to many people are afraid of being honest with their chefs.
We appreciate the amount of great content we receive from this channel, Keep up the good work.

who are you
There's nothing better than a workplace with a very positive atmosphere.
I have to say: The statement @6:10 is something you hear in parts but never put side-by-side. Often people asign value to something because of hearsay or precieved value and run with it, OR say the latter half of chef's statement about locality and run with that. I LOVE that he and his team actually try them both and find their own value- and support locally if and when it makes sense.
6 hours may seem like a lot for prep time. he is right. it is not. i've been a prep for years. there's so much to prepare when youre feeding 100s of ppl. thousands sometimes. i def respect all prep cooks out there!
Factssss, man! Most people don't understand how much work we do behind the scene just for someone to have a good/great dish in front of them to eat for 3-5 minutes!
Wow. Had no clue. What's the best way to tip the chef?
“And today, I’ve outdone myself again. Like goddamn.” I love the energy in this kitchen, some restaurants feel so rigid and harsh and prestigious and this feels like working among friends. There’s passion in this food because they’re enjoying and passionate about making it
This show is so amazing, I wanna thank everyone involved for making it possible. 😁
I have an amazing boss in my finance job. Very similar to this guy in terms of creating a better atmosphere for his employees. You rock bro. Your team is also grateful you can tell. Y’all are good people
Wish every chef was as cool and chill as this chef

That was really exciting to watch with the music, the food prep, and the incredible team at Clover Hill. So fun to watch the sous chef and mad respect for Chef Charlie's beliefs and approach to work. Could watch them all day..
Instead of beating each other down like it seems most chefs in this sort of business do, these guys bring each other up. That's awesome. Really makes me think differently of the restaurant business.
He's freaking dope, I will be dining at his restaurant because of this video! 👌
Now THIS place I gotta try
Can’t go wrong with the mom and pops chinese restaurant
Twenty years in kitchens of different types , and I found this team thrilling to watch . I could watch this prep for hours , would never want to do it every day .
I just love the teamwork and diversity of this team. It just seems so effortless. Makes me want to drop a tear!!

Had a friend who worked there and left for a career change. Nothing but great things to say. They pay their employees very well. It’s actually one of the few who puts it back into the talent.
Something about cooking as team to make a dish is awesome
What a breath of fresh air of a kitchen, props to the Chef.🎉
Chef Charlie is a huge inspiration!!
As a black person, this was really powerful. I had no idea there were any black Michelin star chefs.
Is it all about the skin color for you?
@@Wagner555 shut up yt
@@monsieurboks nah you shut up
@@monsieurboks are you triggered?
@@Wagner555 would you have gotten offended if he had said "I had no idea there were any Malaysian Michelin star chefs"?
Love it when a chef serves a proper chunky piece fish
Bass looked amazing
Incredible achievement for Chef Charlie Mitchell and his team at Brooklyn’s Clover Hill! Their expertise in delivering a seafood-heavy tasting menu in an intimate setting has earned them a Michelin star in their first year. I can’t wait to try their king crab tartlet and Long Island fluke!
Is this an AI generated comment?

Fine dining will never make sense to me(too picky) but the level of devotion and drive for perfection is always cool to see
Glad to share that I will have the pleasure to go and interview Chef Charlie at Clover Hill late next month!!! All thanks to me seeing this video
Empowering your team rather than swearing at them. What a lovely and energetic atmosphere.
You think its like that off camera??😂😂
As this was happening, I felt like I was present. It felt really good watching this. The main chef is fine like wine and the staff is awesome and the experience seems amazing!. Great job!
Mannn they're operating on a very high level, I'm very impressed!!
I am always inspired by something in this series, but it isn't usually an atmosphere I would want to work in. This place looks like a joy.
I hope this is the future of fine dining, the respect, communication, and technique are superior
I'd eat here just for the culture Chef has built in the kitchen. If all work atmospheres were like this or responsible damn. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely loved this episode. I grew up in Brooklyn. When I’m back in town Im gunna slide through. 🔥

I live around the corner and ate here a few months ago. It was AMAZING! I didn’t realize chef was a person of color. Love seeing diversity in the kitchen.
Stop saying "Person of Color" is not cool.
We are all humans. That's it.
These dishes look great and are well though out. Thanks for another great episode and congrats to the chef and his crew

This here not only inspired me but made me proud as hell to have a skill that I can take to another level and have a good time with my team.
Love Clover Hill! We were there for Brunch, shortly before they received their star and had a dinner tasting menu! We featured their "early-day" brunch on our page as a restaurant feature ... if anyone is curious to see!! :) We also do other Michelin restaurant real-time insight and reactions, we're a small and new channel trying to connect with other fellow foodies! Come say hi :)
That was one of the most sarcastic "Oui, Chef"s I've ever heard
Eater is one thing...but I really hope Clover Hill is featured on an episode of Blue Bloods. If Commissioner Frank Reagan has a lunch there, they will go through the roof!
Just by the voice of this head chef he is a chef that you want to work always in the kitchen! Keep up chef! You will be more successful!
Growing up in Brooklyn it was always the place to be. Its diversity making it so special. and as one group of peoples moved out and onto the mainland, other immigrants groups of people and new cultures carrying their traditions and foods moved in. And now for better and to a degree for worst, Brooklyn is quickly moving to become Ny's focal point. The fact it has real neighborhoods, fine schools, and all the amenities of Manhattan. Great parks and recreation, beaches, museums you name it. Always had it, but now people who typically stayed out, are now seeing what they've been missing all along.
Perfection. Precision. Artistic. Professionalism.
I don't think I have anything else to say. A five-star restaurant with great hospitality. Nice place to dine in

Warren Buffet has a saying: You can't be WORLD CLASS until you are FANITICAL in your subject matter. And that is all I can think about watching this. This is literally art as food.
I need to work here! Chef has created such a wholesome and honest experience that I would love to be a part of it!
Love to see it!!!! The authenticity and teamwork is immaculate. 🙌🏽
Seems like a great atmosphere to work in and the head chef seems really cool. Food looks amazing too.
I really enjoyed watching that video. Love to see people from my hometown make it.
that octopus kavair dish looked amazing
I wanted a restaurant until I saw all the work.
The hours are

Looks like a great team at work here. I would love to eat in this restaurant someday!
It's nice to see not all restaurants are Hell's Kitchen lol. No screaming, no insults, just passion.
That’s how you run a service line - bravo
Yes spring rolls are enough work already, and you did it with the fluke filets. Lol bravo chef to you and your team chef!
We need to know more about this chef
Great Master👏 greetings from Italy
13:31 I love that reaction. That's why I love Culinary school. We're all like that in practicals.
a rare video where the entire interview was highly entertaining and engaging.
I’m from New York and Miss the food. Next time I come back I’m definitely paying your visit. Thanks for sharing.
His Michigan roots showing through in how he treats his staff and clients. Bro just wants to have a fun and successful environment, much love
I gotta go check this place out
yo the fearlessness of job security, you're gonna learn this in case I can't, instead of they need me! I'm the only one that can break down fluke! It's sick and refreshing
Yes Chef 👏🏽🔥
Everything looks delicious 🤤
Very chill compared to the usual michelin head chef. Impressive food as always from these places.
I love the vibe in that kitchen 😂 smack-talkin' eachother all the time 😁
This is the very first time, seeing a show like this where they don't bring up the topic of race. I'm genuinely impressed. You can tell he knows who his clientele are.
I’m late but if I remember correctly he said “this is Ben from regalis” at the beginning. Regalis was followed by Vice for a day, known for their exotic mushrooms back in the day a couple years ago! Amazing!!!
