Chef Massimo entering the room felt like getting caught by a teacher when you were being silly
But he's such a sweetheart, he softened me almost immediately. Us introverts take our time to open up but it's definitely worth the wait in the chef's case. I'm in love.
@@weasley2o13 yes I've seen him in other food documentaries and he's really nice! 🤍
Lmfao exactly. They didn’t know how to react 😅
I thought the waiter complained about Ollie
@@simguem6602 Pretty sure he did. Not wanting more redicule, the 5 sec strict look Massimo gave was enough for the entire diner to be taken more serious. Abt action and reaction I would say.
When ollie dropped the bread and the waiter saw it
Then he left without any emotion
Then mrz say "you can get kicked out"
And then the HEAD CHEF comes in and say "what is going on here?"
My heart dropped
🤣🤣
Not just a Head chef..ONE OF THE MOST RENOWNED CHEFS IN THE WORLD.
THAT WAS NOT JUST “BREAD” IT WAS THE MF “PANETTONE “ .
This is the proof that italians can cook anything and even not italian dishes better.
BRO y cant Say bread my italian soul its dying...😂
Despite being a famous chef, Massimo worried about the crew being hungry and offered food for them. Just awesome.
After all, you don't become the most famous chef in the world leaving people hungry in your restaurant...
@@WexMajor82 True and also, Amiga rules!
@WexMajor82 this is such a wholesome insightful and hilarious comment. Good reply, loved it.
Amazing
That was
Makes him one of a kind 👍
I love how Chef was all grumpy and stern until Ollie asked his question and you could almost SEE the bright light of redemption upon him and Chef softened and took them in as his own..lol
*sigh* were that i could spell...
He didn’t seem grumpy or stern lol ???
wrgggg
@cyndolltia7713 not necessarily grumpy, but a bit more brisk, I feel like I could see him getting more animated throughout the video
he never said a word. what do you mean
@@Hanji_soong I think the word you're looking for is Italian
"Somehow managed to get us a private table in the wine cellar"
Mr Z: " I'm bringing two idiots, you might want to hide us in the back"
🤣🤣
i genuinely hope Mr Z see this 🤣
How is that so accurate 😂😂😂😂
I truly believe this is how it went down
I mean that in the most loving way possible. I mean we all know what happened at the first restaurant. 😬😂
Is it just me or does Chef open up more after Ollie’s question? Ollie’s so sooo good in making everyone feel comfortable, with the expense of humiliating himself. Feel like that’s a very under appreciated effort from him
Good cop bad cop I'd say. Ollie's play as the bad cop is always amusing & entertaining. He's a quick thinker.
@@aschleon not just that. It’s more like a skill set where he ask the right question all the time
@@jiawei0917 told you, a quick thinker He is! It's a blessing to have Him as a partner in a broadcast or any other speaking-related lines of works.
I thought so too! It was like the first voluntary communication (from Jolly to Chef) and once he knew they were interested in talking to him, he seemed to open up 😅
One of the reasons why I love him 😭😭🙌
I think Chef Massimo and Ollie had a connection. His artwork contains experiencing things like a "child", and that is what Ollie has done in a silly way 🤣
It is always appreciated when it comes to quality and expertise - silliness.
Coming back to this video its amazing how everyone was nervous for Ollie's question, but after his actually well thought out question you can see a shift in Chef Massimo's tone like he suddenly respects them and is excited to serve them. Its kinda cool how things work out.
The STRESS Ollie put Mr. Z and Josh when he wouldn’t reveal his question was truly amazing. Especially after getting his food stuck in his wine glass and getting the head chef to come out ❤
Not two minutes before I was thinking how worried I'd be for Ollie, too. And then he comes up with a question that made the Chef say he really understood their way of thinking 😂 Ollie is amazing.
Ollie isn't actually chaotic, he just likes to have fun; but he shows he has deep appreciation for art time and time again... but when josh least expects hahaha
Massimo is culinary royalty. When he’s on MasterChef Australia, they treat him with the utmost respect. To have him explain each dish to you, is so rare, you guys have no idea how lucky you are.
Honestly y'all Brits can't cook . Every thing is blant plain fish or plain potato boiled or fried boiled peas plain bread plain mayo even meat is blant just salt & grilled. Invent some dish spicy packed full of different flavors . I don't like blant food
@@tomjary9284 okay, where did this hostility come from? I'm British and I can cook better than the average person, also FYI, Gordon Ramsay is British, so is Marco Peirre White, two of the most famous chefs in the world. Also, you can't spell and your grammar sucks!
I felt lucky watching them be honored by his presence.
Even the guy that worked for him before didnt like all of his dishes. He is a great chef no doubt but he is still just a man
I love how massimo offers the cameramen some food cause he wants to see everyone eating.
Aside from being a chef, a food lover, we want to spread the love to everyone, and would like everyone to be a part of our experience.
My brother (not a foodie) was on a business trip there …got to meet chef massimo, came back home wouldn’t stop talking about how kind was the chef and how he made extra effort to tune the food to the guests needs!
The moment Chef Massimo entered was super intimidating you can see how passionate he was about food but the moment i respected him was when he asked the cameraman if they weren't eating anything
I seriously thought when he entered that his wait staff had gone and told him that Ollie was disrespecting the food. Just the way he walked in and had that blank stare and asked "what's going on here" and even if you look at Mr.Z it looked like he felt like he was about to just start apologizing for Ollie.
@@davidstufflebean3285 Mr. Z saved that situation, I wouldn't have been surprised if they got kicked out for that
im sure that made the cameramen's day. making sure everyone is taken care of + charismatic personality + talent = likable and lovable person
One vid is all it takes. For me to be a fan of him💀💀
As a former cook, listening to chief Massimo speaking with his heart and showing how he's dedicated to cooking gave me chills. And he shows that Italy is not just pasta and Pizza as some people might think. Incredible video.
in italia,si cambia cibo ogni 10km...ogni zona ha specialita'
@@chiarac980 rispondi in italiano ad un commento in inglese.... brava.
@@pijafinocchio conosco perfettamente l'inglese,ma e'utile un interscambio,essendo il video in Italia...secondo il mio parere.
@@chiarac980 video in Inglese, con persone che parlano Inglese ... rispondendo ad un commento scritto in inglese. Un po' Arrogante secondo me, specialmente se conosci perfettamente l'inglese, ma ogni uno e' libero di fare come vuole.
we have translator on youtube it is okay to answer in Italian hahha
I think they might have been in trouble in the beginning, but Mr. Z explaining how they were in Italy to experience all the best of Italy's unique ingredients sort of touched a soft spot in Chef Massimo's heart.
I love it when josh and ollie go to all these fancy michelin star resturants and while they are in awe of how extravagant to it they always end up acting like little kids in a playground! like ollie dipping his bread and in wine and struggling to get it out is peak 5 year old behavious in the cutest way.
Tbh I think they were just trying to be nice to the chef. Watch them go to a random BBQ place in Texas their reactions actually seem genuine when saying something is good.
I was so scared when the chef walked in… but to my surprise he was very kind, taking time to explain his food.
you can tell he's a genuine artist with the most top notch of technical skill to back it up.
He didnt come out to yell at them for eating food weird…. Hes the head chef he does not care. Evenif it was some sort of rude thing, he wouldnt handle it personally
Same! I was holding my breath when he asked "What's going on here?"
Massimo Bottura is a really cool person. It has many side projects to provide food for people that can't afford it like the "Refettorio Ambrosiano" in collaboration with Caritas, and it has been a promoter of food efficiency, In the fight against food waste, he gives public seminars in which he explains how to apply simplicity and economy to cooking. His most important project is called "Food for Soul", an ONG that promotes these values.
He listened to understand. It is what we all must do in everyday life.
I love that as the meal went on Massimo seemed to get more relaxed and more engaged. Once he saw how much you all appreciated his craft he couldn’t wait to share it with you. This may be my favorite episode of the series so far .
I admit I've rarely felt I was eating at a fine restaurant/dining, but your comment makes me yearn to go to Italy along with the fact that my father's parents were born near Naples.
He get very excited each time he came back to explain too. Truly genuine excitement expression like a little kid🔥
Chef Massimo is the embodiment of what it is to excel at your craft. He genuinely moved me to tears the way he speaks and describes each dish and the story behind them.
When Ollie was asking his first question to the chef, Josh's face looked so concerned in case Ollie asked something ridiculous 🤣🤣
Not gonna lie, when chef Massimo first walked in I felt like I’d been caught doing something even though all I’m doing is watching!!
Me too!! I was like. Ok I’m dressed, I’m just sitting here. Wait I’m not even there. Ugh second hand panic.
Exactly!
I feel like they put them on the cellar like some harry potter's room in his aunts house to not disturb the restaurant ahahahah
@@chatshire3512 I mean that's exactly what they did. It's the world's best restaurant and they gave them the opportunity to film there whitout disturbing the experience of the other guests
I love that chef Massimo offered the crew some tortellini
è il minimo sindacale
Making every guest full is a part of Italian food culture.
Mind you, his famous plate consist of literally 6 tortellini 🤣 But still.
P.s. I am kidding, I mean, I'm not kidding, but I love Massimo. Whenever you bump into him he will greet you like you're his best friend. Once this happened while we were walking in front of his restaurant. He was outside talking with someone and we didn't engage in any way - we didn't even look (we are not "fans"). Still he called us for a casual greeting "Ciao ragazzi, buona giornata!". We greeted him back. One of my friends who had no idea who he was, was like "is that a friend of yours?" We were like "no, he's just the #1 chef in the world, but nevermind" 🫠
I love this Italian journey from you, I am so happy you like our country so much ❤
@@SamanthaJackson He can cook a filling tortellini I promise
17:41 the fact that chef fed you is completely outstanding! What a privilege😮
Hello how are you friend
Where are you from
This Massimo guy is so passionate about his work, his food, and his country. It's beyond admirable. Just a really interesting and awesome person. You guys are very very lucky!
The tension when Massimo first walked in was palpable, it was amazing! 10/10
I literally thought they were about to get kicked out, lol!
Mr. Z's explanation of why they were there sounded like a plea to stay 😂
@@NaturalAegyo i felt bad for MR Z tbh XD i mean he loves jolly but omgggg ollie rlly had to be ollie
Wow. I actually had a panic attack on behalf of ollie when massimo came in and asked what's going on. I genuinely thought he was going to kick you out 😂 man I gotta recover from this now. Oof
Me too XD I stopped breathing until Massimo left the room again lol!!!
yesss I feel you
i truly thought he'd been snitched on by the waiter
@@Em-xm3ss i still believe he did. Because he asked what was going on? and then it got more casual
@@beksl5411 100% that waiter snitched on them. he comes back after the risotto to see if they were probably "disrespecting the food" but eventually probably understood ollie's 1 time thing was a sincere mistake.
i like how the chef always refers to the cooks as a team, a bunch of "we" not "i" when he can gracefully take ownership and claim it as his solo idea
Massimo was very happy to Ollie’s brilliant question makes he interested to serve these guys. The key to get connected to high profile people is, ask or talk about something they passionate about- which requires a very good observation and listening skill. You’ll hit their soft spot and caught their attention.
Often artists that rise to fame just overly interprete everything to inflate their work, but with Massimo I really get the impression that there is intention and a sense of responsibility behind his creations. A true artist.
Massimo ha avviato anche diversi progetti per aiutare i poveri,con refettori e raccolte alimentari...
Massimo Bottura is one of the most famous chefs in Italy
Yeah, he struck me as less pretentious than a lot of famous European chefs I've seen interviews with. I mean it's still KIND OF pretentious but after a point that's just the nature of art, and he really has powerful food as art vibes.
@@idek7438 in the world
@@chiarac980 I read that in Jeremy Clarkson's voice
Chef Massimo is adorable!
He comes in once to "see what's going on" and he's like "Oh, I have to give these guys the REAL experience." The way he kept coming in to tell the story of each dish and just chat with them was so cute. Like, "ah, I have a captive audience to share my passion with."
This exquisite chef took so much time to relate to them. To describe his vision and passion for his food. I love it so much.
Lol I’ll just add… lololol I can’t believe what I just saw! The chef physically fed one of them like a child. I cannot contain my laughter, my admiration for the chef’s enthusiasm and my respect for him to allow a grown man to spoon feed him. Tears are welling under my eyelids right now. 😂
Chef Massimo is the definition of perfection of his craft.
I first heard of him on Chef's Table. I am in awe you were able to film there.
Hy Becky how are you
The fact Mr Z, the man who cooked for the Queen, Kanye West, and other celebrities was shook when Chef Massimo walked in speaks volumes
I was shook, and I don’t know nothing about fancy food.
He was not shook he said he even used to work for Massimo. He also didnt like all of his dishes, at the end of the day they are great chefs but still only men it is a mistake to deify them
"Hey man you not eating anything? You want a plate of tortellini?" That's someone who truly just cares about his guests and feeding people great food , as a cook for over 10 years that was a really nice little thing to see.
Its their culture. It's just how they roll
Yeah, other than making a job and being paid for cooking food, a chef or someone that cooks as profession have always the same objective: feed people. And by extension, if he cooks well, he makes others feel better.
After a while you can see that people grows and behave better if they have their belly full and they are happy.
Quality of civilization is based on the fact that we humans needs to satisfy our basic needs before doing everything else, or the result of our work will just be bad.
Instead, once one have eaten something, that is also good and satisfying, then you can expect him to do good things. From the little ones to the biggest.
It was also said that God have a special place in heaven for chefs and comedians.
The first ones feeds people, the second ones makes them laugh.
And God loves these things. 😉👍
We Italians LOVE to cook and we want to share that with people. You come to my house, you won't go hungry lol!
The correct answer should have been YES!!!
Only in Italy would a Chef of this caliber be so genuine, so warm, so inviting & set "Jolly" at ease so they could enjoy the experience fully. To be the VERY best, you need heart as much as skill. This is how art is achieved. Sets apart passion & pride from hubris. May be the best piece I've ever seen on food. Well done all around. So great to have a friend like Andre.
Massimo came in like the principle and just dropped some knowledge before heading out 😂 Amazing to see why he is a highly respected chef
It was wonderful when he asked the crew if they were hungry and wanted some tortellini. A great representative of that part of the Italian culture, and of him as a person.
@@kirimvtf They usually eat after they finished shooting. And I don't think Chef would have let them leave hungry. :D
Italian granny style 100%
Yes as an Italian myself, I can tell you everything you hear about Italians wanting to feed everyone is true lol
@@cristinaxo except this is a 3 star restaurant where tortellini can cost more than 300€…
This also counts for most chefs all over the world, if i feed 3/4 people at a table and the 4th is not eating, hes eating for free if he likes to
Massimo is also an extraordinary human being. He runs a "soup kitchen" that provides amazing food to the hungry people of his city. Chefs come from all over the world to cook there. Foodies from around the world would pay big $$$$ for the experience you had. WOW!!!
Hope he feeds them more than he is feeding these guys!
@@phillyphan1225 🤣🤣🤣
I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for each of those appetizers of an appetizer
@@chucks1781lol. I wouldn't too. I'm too broke. But honestly all looks amazing
That's just your opinion
Chef Massimo is the closest thing to an irl wizard I’ve ever seen, man literally gave people goosebumps entering a room and he borders on an alchemist with the way he was able to transform foods
I like this chef. To me the ability to make a dish out of a concept is fascinating, but to make it taste good too is an incredible ability.
It's kind of ironic that Ollie's (childish) mistake was the reason why they got the chef to come out and eventually what gave them a richer experience. He's the exact representation of that fine line between genius and absolute madman.
the best comment ever
Thing is, the chef was definitely going to bite their heads off, but when Lord Z told him they were only visiting the best of the best on their trip, that saved it. Was a huge compliment/acknowledgement of the chef greatness.
You guys Think that the chef that IS also the owner of that restaurant didnt know a filming crew was présent in his restaurant and that all that wasent scripted 😂😂😂
@@user-el1vk4pn5n Shh. Let people enjoy the magic.
But yeah Mr. Z said he used to work for this guy and the guy didn't even acknowledge him, so it was definitely planned.
I appreciate all of Ollie's commoner comparisons because as a broke college student in a one-room apartment, I may never know what that is but I do know what pizza flavored crisps are.
You should try to recreate the meal but with Ollie’s comparisons 😂
As a visual artist there is a respect for materiality, for technique, for the visual experience, and the stories they tell; the parallels in cooking here are fascinating. It is evident that this man has been doing this for a long time, the mastery of textures, tastes, aromas, and the proper treatment of the ingredients and how to artfully break the rules is very interesting. It is not just the flavors but the story, the expertise here in being able to "play" with the ingredients to wrap them around a story shows he is a master in his craft. cool stuff.
This was incredible! Chef Massimo is magnetic and his work is the purest art. 👌🏾
Does anyone realize that if Ollie hadn't dipped the bread in the champagne, the waiter wouldn't have prompted Massimo to come out? It's like a beautifully made fate that turned a disastrous moment into a one-in-a-billion moment
Never was i more jealous.
I wanna meet this man, he is so inspiring!
I wonder if Ollie dipping that bread and “breaking the rules” almost peaked his interest because of the childish and innovative way Ollie perceived the process of eating. A pioneer of bread wetting if you you will😂
@@jo7dyn273 wow I never thought of that
Bruh Chef Botture didn't come out because of that
@@lucacasiraghi3811 I’m a lady, bruh. And his last name is Bottura. Why did he come out then?
Ollie is often viewed as the goofy comic relief (and I mean his comedic timing is absolutely impeccable) but he is also so THOUGHTFUL and SINCERE and I really love episodes like this that he really gets to relate that part of himself more deeply. I love this series y'all.
He literally makes the show
Aww, Thanks nan.
Ollie is #1
he treads fine line between comedic relief and insanely well prepared homework

Wow. What an experience! My husband and I were fortunate to eat there in 2019. I’m a vegetarian and they changed the whole menu, considering I was the only vegetarian that day. Speaks so much about their attention to details and customers. My husband still talks about certain dishes he had, specifically on how chef Massimo played with ideas and recreated them. It was incredible! I can only imagine having him explain the dishes and spoon feed you as well. Bravo, guys!
That chef made me wanna cry a little bit, his passion was so precious. I think I'm in love 😍
I love Mr. Z. His personal flair and love of life is so contagious.
Exactly. Love this series ❤
Don't forget its Lord Z
I’m genuinely loving this series. It just proves how versatile and incredible Jolly are and how well their humour and genuineness is able to transcend different cultures ❤️❤️
Ugh same. They make me want to book a flight to Italy 😅
I have to agree. Your team produces one of the best channels in my experience. I love how, while "KE" focuses on one culture, while "Jolly" continues to broaden the experience. I can't wait until they intersect in South Korea (X-Over?).
Aye 😊
What an honor to even be let in, let alone personally fed by a chef of his stature!
Ollie never loses touch with the common man. 😂
I think Ollie's personality was predestined to mesh with Massimo's because Massimo mentioned while talking about his food that he looked to inspire that child like wonder about food, and Ollie has that sort of quality still as an adult, very bright eyed and inquisitive. Very nice chemistry!
I had the same thought!!! Kindred spirits meeting in Italy
Chef Massimo is a superhero. For those who don't know, he started a soup kitchen restaurant called Refettorio Ambrosiano where clients are surrounded by art, treated like respected and valued guests, giving them dignity as well as a meal. We need it *all* to feel human. His soup kitchen inspired more such no-cost restaurants, and they're all focused on sustainability and anti-waste. If we all thought like Chef Massimo, this world would be a more marvelous place for everyone.
Interesting
Osteria Francescana non Refettorio Ambrosiano 😭😭😭
@@ziarua999 L'Osteria Francescana è il suo ristorante, il Reffettorio Ambrosiano è un iniziativa nata nel 2015, con la Caritas, per offrire gratis cibo a persone meno agiate.
its all good and nice until he brings out the veggies in thick plastic bags and I can just imagine the kitchen fridge FULL of plastic bags like that...I genuinely don't know just how environmentally friendly it is in reality
@@mushroom4rain probabilmente hai capito male
Chef Massimo's excitement was heart warming to watch. The passion he felt when explaining the story of his dishes was amazing to watch.
Chef coming out and asking if the Cameraman wants a plate of food is the most Italian thing i have seen they are like granparents that want to feed everyone lol
From "being caught by teacher" to hand feeding and hugs. The JOLLY boys charm yet another world-class chef.
And don't forget Josh putting on weird Italian broken english at the end 😂
I love how everyone got nervous when Ollie said he wanted to ask a question but it was one of the most thought provoking questions that elicited a wonderful insightful answer from Chef Massimo!
This man is just so extraordinary,truly an artist in the kitchen,first time ive ever heard anyone see food in this light and its just amazing,so much love and creativity put into it,cook,storyteller,artist,all in one...Man...Amazing.
The chef’s passion is contagious, admirable and humbling ❤ i truly enjoyed listening to him talking.
17:35 being spoon fed by the greatest chef in the world has to be one of the coolest stories one could tell. I’m so envious!

@@zes3813ah?
The waiter TOTALLY told on Ollie to Massimo. I'm so glad you weren't kicked out. What an amazing experience!
The waiter was clearly appalled.
@@heather2493 girl chill what the hell
@@heather2493 Come on... I would have also been a little miffed if I saw that. Anyone who has ever worked in hospitality understands him.
@@heather2493 None you know is neither rich nor of high status that have ever been to a really high end restaurant. Sooo.. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by saying this.
😂😂😂😂
Might be abit stereotypical to say this, but I assume a lot of rich people that come to this place to have a meal isn't really interested in the story behind it, but more so being that they have eaten food made by the famous chef himself.
But having Ollie being genuinely fascinated and thinking out of the box and asking that specific question to him definitely opened Chef Massimo up. Must be a really refreshing experience for the chef as well.
Having a chef who takes time to explain everything to you is incredible. Its an outstanding customer service.Thumbs up to him.
11:30 Massimo offering the crew a plate of Tortellini, everybody laughs. But I think Massimo was dead serious about just making them a plate of food.
of course he was, its basic italian hospitality.
Although it's tipical Italian hospitality still it shows the pasión and character of such a renowned character
Yes he was. No one should just have to watch others eating.
I think Massimo is like anyone else and likes to let his hair down a bit now and again. And in this case, he chose to have fun rather than be stuffy and elite.
Yeah I think he was. Almost 4 years ago I was playing in a little orchestra in a ceremony dinner where Bottura and his crew was invited to cook. The organizers though didn't thought about sharing the same dinner with us musicians but instead offered us only some sandwiches. Bottura saw that and saw that we were kinda disappointed by the different treatment we had received, and he proceeded to give us some of his plates throughout the dinner. He had been so humble and generous.
Also the chef at the end used a very informal goodbye by giving you the hand and hugging you meaning he really appreciated you guys, also he almost said "Ciao vecchio" wich is a friendly way to say hi in Emilia Romagna
siiiiii il "ciao vecchio" mi ha fatto scompisciare
I love the way the cameraman is laughing, he seems to be enjoying the most 😄
Loved the part, "He just fed me"
you made the best of your time in there but you also made the best time for the people that surrounds you in this tour and watching this now as an audience.. I feel lucky to have watched you thank you
I'm so proud of Ollie for asking such a great question! When he first said he was going to ask Chef Massimo a question and refused to run it by the others first, I was so nervous on their behalf 😂
Yes, however if Mr Z. wasn't there to save the day he probably would not have been able to ask that question. I feel Ollie just barely escaped the chefs wrath.
They were literally graced by a legend. That they were able to get time with Massimo himself is incredible. That was crazy.
It's actually sort of propaganda. Massimo doesn't even have a Bocuse d'Or. Denmark is at #1 and has been for some years on and off, but also has the most distinguished chefs in the world. So you could say this video is pretty inaccurate. Shame
Oh, I should mention that my point was that Italy doesn't even have a spot in top 3. It is held by France, Nordway and Denmark
@@bictur well yea, I knew that the restaurant itself wasn’t actually best in the world. Noma and Geranium both exist, and even Spain and Peru are it be top 10 while Lido 84 is the highest ranked Italian restaurant and its run by the Camanini’s. That said, it doesn’t take away from the impact and talent of Bottura, and Osteria was named best in the world twice in recent times (2016 & 2018)
This is absolutely amazing and the presentation, the story and the dedication given to each plate is absolutely incredible. There is so much love in each gorgeous creation. I’m blown away. What a wonderful experience.
I love Chef Massimo. From every video/ documentary I see him in, he's really so passionate.
for a second I thought that Ollie just did a pretty big mistake. My heart stopped the moment Chef Massimo entered the room right after the waiter sees Ollie's panettone inside the wine glass XD
. If you notice he does that with white wine but when the chef walks in they have a red wine glass in front of them. So that probably means they fixed it with the waiter or it was no big deal and it was edited in a way to make us extra nervous 😂😂
The grass and milk dish unexpectedly made me tear up. You can really tell that chefs like Massimo truly respect ingredients and where they come from. It makes you wish for a world where everyone could cultivate those same emotions.
Well Said ❤❤❤❤
Chef Massimo loves his work, and I truly enjoyed listening to his story! Beautiful!
These are not dishes. These are creations. This is not a meal. This is an adventure. Not merely tasting food, but experiencing concepts. A fusion of the playful and profound.
To have Chef Massimo take some of his precious time to wonderfully explain the thinking behind his menu is truly extraordinary.
I smile each time Chef comes in and is so giddy that they truly appreciate and want to have an experience with his food.
I had something kinda like this once, but not at this level.
We used to be close with the singer from a band and he started a new band. They had just recorded a new album and it was still on DAT, not yet pressed to a CD. He invited us over and explained each song for us before playing them. We were the first people outside the band to hear the songs.
That was a special moment, and I felt like I relived it watching this video.
BTW the new band never went anywhere, but still.
A truly beautiful mind. Any time I see Massimo I click. His content with Action Bronson is legendary.
I love this slow progression of how Chef Massimo comes in asking what's going on and by the end he hand-feeds Josh his own food 🤣
Seen a couple of your videos but this one got me to subscribe. Massimo and Redzdpi are the two best chefs alive. Amazing to see him explain the thoughts behind his creations. Outstanding video
How wonderful is Chef Massimo? He seemed SO happy to tell the guys about his passion for creating these dishes. Seeing Chef excited to watch the boys’ reactions to his food, knowing they have no idea about such technical food, is just beautiful.
it occurs to me that Josh and Ollie have given countless guests the most amazing experiences and joys from their beloved Korea and for the first time "Lord Z" have shown them the same love and effort and care by sharing his beloved Italy. I'm so pleased Jolly finally got a taste of their own medicine in the best possible way. Also, Ollie's questions would have cost a Foodie millions to try and have answered. WOAH.
The part when that guy came in and caught Olly with the panetonne inside the wine glass and after that the chef came and asked what was happening was so intense, it could be part of a movie 🤣
I’ve enjoyed watching this video and the knowledge the chef gives is extremely valuable and the way he reacts to Ollie’s question is remarkable
What a great dude Massimo seems to be. And congrats on the awesome experience you had
One of my favorite moments was when Chef Massimo asked the crew “do you want a plate of tortellini.” Yes please! 👨🏼🍳
Kind of feel Josh ruined that moment for them. When someone like Massimo offers you a plate of tortellini, you do not turn that down! Even if they are eating after. You absorb everything you can from a once on a life time opportunity. You also don't turn down food offered to you by a chef, especially one of Massimo's calibre.

As an Italian, I have to say that this made me tear up.
We live such a division, especially between the south and the north. I was born in the north of Italy, but my family is mostly from the south. I have really deep roots from Naples but I'm from Milan, and I always felt like I don't belong anywhere, even if it's the same country.
To hear an Italian trying to escape the norm of an identity solely based on his little town of birth and actually trying to unite the country through food, so passionately and believing so strongly in an Italian identity, it really made me emotional. We could be so much more, so much stronger, if only we could surpass the divide that we in the first place make. The union of many amazing regional things can only make a much better national result. The only limit are ourselves.
I'm so happy you decided to create this series, Josh and Ollie. Seeing people genuinely amazed of the best Italy can offer really makes me proud of my country, even through all our flaws. 💜
As a non Italian, it was not clear to me what he meant here until I read your comment. I have a completely different understanding of what he means now, very beautiful message, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing Alessia. I experienced a similar struggle as a Canadian all my life. I visited a lot of places in Italy in my life, from Milan to Palermo, and for me Italy will always remain one of the most beautiful countries in the world, because of how proud of who you are and of your culture, and how incredibly capable and creative you are at making so many great things. I think I have visited Italy enough to understand what you're saying though. Of course there are differences between the north and the south, it's palpable even as a tourist. The way you expressed it is just absolutely amazing. You really seem to have a truly beautiful heart Alessia. I'm profoundly happy that you guys elected that fabulous woman from Rome a couple of weeks ago. I truly think Giorgia Meloni is the proper person to unite your beautiful and strong country back to what it should be. She seems to be a diamond in the rough. I can only dream of having such a great prime minister, unfortunately we have the most corrupt crime minister our country has ever been plagued with, but so many of us still have high hopes we will also be able to have our Giorgia very soon. Take care and never stop believing in your beautiful culture, despite all these toxic globalist evil threats that only exist to render all of us generic powerless slaves. I have the greatest respect and admiration for you Italians. Never stop being so beautiful and passionate, you are the example we should all follow.
His spiel about the almonds and the tomatoes and the farmers and fisherman made me tear up as well.
Massimo seems like such a cool guy, I would love to taste his food .
Sooooorm ❤️
🇮🇹👏👍💪
What an amazing experience for me just learning and the gratitude the chef has for his love, history and appreciation for his teaching us that are watching. I'm just in awe.
Ohh my god, i love josh’s reactions after he eats something really good
That was Massimo Bottura. And he...fed Josh. Any hardship you might've endured during the filming of this trip has to be worth it. That man is a treasure of gastronomy, showing that you can be warm and personable, despite being arguably the best chef in the world.
When Ollie said that the pasta was the best he has ever had, it really hit me. For Josh, almost everything he eats he says it's the best he's had, but Ollie doesn't really say that. Glad you guys enjoyed the meal! Thanks for sharing.
i feel the same way too. i've been following their content since few years ago just a little while before the pandemic hits, and i've got to say at first i genuinely thought that josh is the more sensible person while ollie is in charge of making the video entertaining for us viewers. however after a while i started to notice what u said and it hits me that it might be ollie that actually cares more about commenting on the food while josh just.. say everything is the best and feels very scripted even though he's being genuine about it
Chef Massimo really does seem like a truly incredible person to be in the presence of. You can definitely feel the genius radiating off of him.
Chef Massimo is a legend, to hear him speak about his food is priceless! Thanks Jolly.
I think at the beginning Massimo Bottura was very serious because he didn't want two youtubers to turn something so important for him into a joke. Not knowing them he could actually think they were the kind of youtuber who just messes around for likes. Even more so after the panettone in wine scene. But then he proved to be very empathetic and kind enough to ask the cameramen if they would like to eat something.
“Do you think they’re gonna kick us out?”
“Italy’s difficult.”
Mr. Z. is too much 😂
I love that chef, he has a great spirit and has been blessed with art cooking.
He is so passionate it's amazing. He just fed Josh and I'm like ahhhhhh
Damn hearing (13:20) Massimo speaking about italy, my country, with so much awe and passion was so emotional, i literally had chills and was about to cry. We italians tend to often be divided, unfortunately, and we forget how lucky we are to live in this extraordinary country. Also the fact the he is from Modena like me makes me even more proud.
Same for me!
Io invece sono nato nel paese sbagliato :(
I've heard about this division in Italy a lot lately and I thought it was just regional pride, but it sounds very discriminative and traumatic.
Amen...soooo many ungrateful complaining Italians don't know how good they have it.
@@primrosed2338 it kinda is but its not that tragic, people really love their region and defend it in every single way, thats usually create a discussion but most of the time ends there. You can finally a lot of people from the south in the north and viceversa, only dumb people spread hate and those are just idiot not italians
It seemed like Chef Massimo felt that the Jolly guys understood what he was doing with his food. This was a fun episode to watch.
It is always captivating when you see people at the top of their craft/art explaining their creations.
I saw the movie "The Menu" a few weeks ago and I can't stop thinking about it throughout this video
