      The "maybe chefs" (since you don't want to use "normals") should do a ultimate battle where they have to use knife skills (etc) and prepare the mise en place (the the chefs standards)

      Given the popularity of ‘gourmet makes’ - this book should be your guys version.
      I propose the whole series is called ‘Mike Makes’ and he (alone) uses the book to recreate iconic meals such as the Big Mac.

      It's pretty much dead on, except I think the sauce's emulsion started to break, and the chives leeched their color into the sauce because you put it back on the burner, but otherwise great execution. I've eaten at the french laundry so many times that I have a pretty good feeling of their off days haha

      That is pretty common among my friends. They had to learn all of that stuff (like French knife cuts) in culinary school but they don't do it as a day to day thing. Learning how to do a puree/sieving it through a couple graduated tamis is part of any course but I don't know anyone that has done it in years. (Unless you are working in fine dining or an old school French place.)

So sweet when Mike was checking in with Ben to see if he was enjoying it. And I LOL'd several times - snacking tapioca/snackioca! And the whole adorable chive chopping thing.

      Late reply, but I also had it at "The French Laundry" in 2010. I don't think it was served on 4 dishes stacked on top of each other, but the dish itself *looks* pretty much identical! What I remember most about the meal was how each dish built on the one before and actually took you on a journey. Longest, and most intellectually challenging meal I've ever had! Oh, another incredible thing about French Laundry was the absolute wraith like quality of the waiters, I remember finding my water glass filled and not having seen anyone fill it! Absolutely terrifying (in a good way).
