lol i often read this when people are talking about scandinavian criminals. They do shoot each other in open spaces and move kilos of cocaine and hash to and through denmark. Most of the drugs getting to sweden, which has a pretty wild underworld, is coming from denmark. Dont think that no danes are criminals because our society generally is good
I never appreciated this before, but you really do a great job with the pronunciation of the words It truly shows how much respect you show the restaurant!
He has a very Eastern European accent. He can't pronounce words like 'hotel' which is pronounced hootel instead of hottel (how he does it). But with the names of the restaurants he's doing great, very true.
Tina won the Michelin best service category in 2020. I’ve been there twice and can completely understand why she won. One time I was there with my family, and since we had small children we had the private dining room. Tina also had a baby at the time, but there she was serving us, and then in between dishes she was checking up on her child, which her parents otherwise was looking after. Really impressed by the fact that she could multitask like that.
@@雪底下 I think his brother was a chef in a 1-michelin star restaurant that helped him. That being said, Eric built himself up with the best resources he had around him. That first in his culinary school graduating in 18 months didn't happen from nepotism, that's for sure, and neither did those 3 michelin stars.
Only those with coin, connections, crews, clout, computer code, control, corporate communities, and opulent opportunities can prosper. 💪😎✌️ No exceptions. Crime pays; BIG-TIME.
We appreciate your truly honest reviews. For a Michelin starred restauranteur to review other starred restaurants, it would be very easy for you to go light on criticism, but you professionally serve up honesty. For meals at this tariffs, viewers deserve a true take, and you deliver. Thank you!
He might have turned his life around, which ofc is great. But as an ex gang member he has most likely affected a lot of peoples lives in a very bad way.
@@Nse19 While this is true, and I would never tell the people affected by his actions to forgive and forget (this must be up to them), the question is from a societal point of view if you want to mark people for life for the terrible things they have done. After sentences have been served there must be a way back. With that said, more effort should be put on prevention and helping efforts before people, mostly young men, fall through the cracks.
I see this as a chance for him to give something back and do good. Children is not born evil, they just do as the adults do, not as they are told. It is better to try to give something back compared to the alternatives in my opinion.
@@goffe2282 nah this is a 1/1000 example. the justice system in Denmark is horrible, criminals get off way too easy....we dont want hardcore criminals back in society
5:00 I just want you to know that I appreciate this insight as someone not into fine wines. I didn't know this before and it shows me another level of complexity and intrigue that attracts people to these wines.
Alexander, thank you so much for a great video about Jordnaer. I had a chance to try their unique and delicious dishes last winter in St.Moritz when Eric and Tina were working in Badrutt’s hotel for 2 months. What a great couple!!!!! It was an excellent tasting menu with extraordinary dish presentation and super service in many different languages. Just GREAT!!!!!
It is so pleasant to watch these videos. I hoped to win the dining contest as a tribute to my late twin brother, for whom a meal such as this would have been the highlight of his life. Thank you for showing us these glimpses into fine dining.
Loved the twist on the swedish pastry thing. I can't remember the last time I ate those or what they're called but got memories reignited of my youth and my grandma making those but dipped in sugar. Warm, crispy, soft and sweet.
If anything kitchen and gang culture are similar in some ways due to the hierarchy system and how a lieutenant in a gang can mirror a Sous chef in the culinary system. also primarily the stereotype of how outcasts end up in the kitchen
That star flower shapped appetizer is used in Anglo-Indian Christmas sweets called rose cookies. So wonderful to see it being used in other parts of the world.
Yeeeees! Jordnær is such an amazing place. Went there while they were still two stars, not long after they had also had a fire, the place was amazing, Eric is an amazing person, as is his wife, Tina. The food was amazing too, I am looking forward to my next visit. I recognize a lot of the dishes, as well.
The restaurant is in my local area. It's been there for 7 years and has slowly been building itself to a better and better standard. They've had to replace the Michelin Star sign outside a few times :)
This is one of the restuarants I would love to visit (but money is a problem). For the main reason - the background of the owner. Amazing story and I am sure it reflects in the food, that is something I would love to experience some day! Thank you for another great video. :)
Great vid as always! I would like you to visit Antiqvvm in Porto Portugal They have 2 Michelin stars and it’s not as expensive Great staff and food there
Hi Alexander, this reminds me of the British TV series Pie In The Sky. The guy in the TV show was a big man and a detective, and Eric is a big man and was a crook ! Ha ha ! In the TV show, the guy's wife managed the restaurant. Same here. First Michelin star within 9 months, wow ! Very impressive. The food and wine looked great. The staff and owners warm and genuine. Thank you, Alexander, for another gorgeous video !
This video was literally the pinnacle of your guys' evolution. A true Masterclass! (Only thing I can pick a bone about is your un-even tie showing on the left, but that's being picky ;) 😂)
Alexander I am a big fan of your work. I love to see more times a week a video. It must be a lot of work. But I advice you to invest in it now that you have momentum. Not just for me and other fans, but this will grow your channel fast as the algorhytm is favored to channels that do more uploads. Otherwise you go on a very slow track to a million subs. And I love to see you get there.
Have you dined at Patrick O’Connel’s restaurant in The Inn at Little Washington, Virginia? He recently received 3 Michelin stars. I’ve been dining there for years, long before any stars. Always sublime with nods to French, Southern and local cuisine. Highly recommend- the Inn is a total destination. 🤩
Am I the only one amazed by his suit selection? I'm more curious to hear about that. (I do believe he had the same suit for the Alchemist episode located in Copenhagen, so it might be a Denmark combination ) :)
For the price I was personally expecting slightly more, however I don't know much about how much it costs to find all the ingredients neccesary, I just remembered about that one restaurant that Alexander said he liked which had (I think) 17 courses but for 250$ without the wine pairing (But maybe that restaurant had worse tasting food, I honestly dont remember it perfectly)
Finally Jordnær 😍 I have been to Jordnær 3 times and I do not think I will ever have a better meal. The 2 first times it was better though. They seemed a bit overworked the last time so I wonder if we have seen the best from them.
we have a very similar snacks with rosette waffle here in indonesia, called "kembang goyang". If u googling it, the shape and texture is exactly the same :D
Whats your opinion on wines being more consistent because of technology? Arent you worried that more consistent wine-making and more similar product from year to year, is gonna make it less interesting?
Great clip! My problem is the same problem I always have with these clips. I absolutely detest the taste,smell, and sight of fish. 🎣 I’m ok with shellfish, but all other fish make me nauseous 🤢. So in a fish heavy clip like this I find myself fast forwarding through much of it. Anyway, you look like you enjoyed it 🤙
Time to eat my cheap noodles and watch this.. :D
Same
Too real
Shame on you 😊! I am too with below quality wine and champagne. 😅 I do look forward to this though!
It doesn't look at all filling. I wonder if he goes to KFC after 😂😂😂😂
Canned soup here!!!
Alexander, whoever makes your suits deserves his own show.
great idea make a best suit in the world program just like the fine dining program he has he should do that just with suits
The brown beige one with the turquoise shirt in the narration shots is absolutely amazing
The Copenhagen crime underworld gang is just savage.
They’re notorious for not even hand signaling when making turns on a bike lane.
Now apparently guilty of not using enough textures in their dishes
I sentence you to live in a condo better than 90% of houses in the rest of the world!
@@lefterismagkoutas4430 I'm sad that most people may not see your post 😂
Nah, it's even worse - it is not saying thank you to your bus driver when stepping out of it!

I never appreciated this before, but you really do a great job with the pronunciation of the words

That is so true! I was blown away by his pronunciation of Jordnær!
Yeah. So many channels put no effort whatsoever into researching correct pronunciation for foreign words and just butcher them entirely...
He tries
He has a very Eastern European accent. He can't pronounce words like 'hotel' which is pronounced hootel instead of hottel (how he does it). But with the names of the restaurants he's doing great, very true.
Except “Rene Recipy” 😂😂 It’s pronounced René Red-Zepi.
Tina won the Michelin best service category in 2020.
I’ve been there twice and can completely understand why she won. One time I was there with my family, and since we had small children we had the private dining room. Tina also had a baby at the time, but there she was serving us, and then in between dishes she was checking up on her child, which her parents otherwise was looking after.

Eric Vildgaard is an example of when you find purpose in life, commit to it and you will succeed.
You might require a healthy dose of nepotism too.
@@James__123nepotism from where? He was a criminal and kicked out of his house.

Been following this channel and the chef for some time now. Incredible.....
The Winnie-The-Pooh at 4:25 was shockingly hilarious. Never lose your class!
The editors are top tier
some of the most gorgeous dishes i've ever seen, i really like the waffle
thanks for the video, as always!
This might be your best video yet! Your champagne/wine explanations were super informative and edited to perfection.
Keep up the good work!
It is so pleasant to watch these videos. I hoped to win the dining contest as a tribute to my late twin brother, for whom a meal such as this would have been the highlight of his life. Thank you for showing us these glimpses into fine dining.
Such a heart warming story! Tattoos and sensitivity! You did enjoy the experience!
Dude your pronounciation of Danish names are immaculate 😎
Loved the twist on the swedish pastry thing. I can't remember the last time I ate those or what they're called but got memories reignited of my youth and my grandma making those but dipped in sugar. Warm, crispy, soft and sweet.
I was waiting for this one! i was an apprentice there and Eric is definitely one of the best chefs in the world!
These dishes are exquisitely beautiful
This video is very inspiring because of the chef's life story... It's never too late to start a new journey...
If anything kitchen and gang culture are similar in some ways due to the hierarchy system and how a lieutenant in a gang can mirror a Sous chef in the culinary system. also primarily the stereotype of how outcasts end up in the kitchen
And both love poweder ;)
that's a reach
Didn't even notice this was a Danish chef and it ended up being a restaurant literally 1km away from me. That's crazy - really inspiring story!
Favorite channel. I never miss an episode. Just exquisite.
Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.
The presentation of those appetizers were stunningly beautiful. I loved the white one with the flowers
what an awesome story, from a life of crime to a clean slate and one of the worlds top chefs
3:38
Mr. Alexander, in Indonesia we also use that tool to create sweet treat called Kembang-Goyang (Shaking-Flower)
This restaurant has one of the most visually pleasing culinary journeys Ive seen.
Excited to see it!
That star flower shapped appetizer is used in Anglo-Indian Christmas sweets called rose cookies. So wonderful to see it being used in other parts of the world.
It's inspired by the Swedish 'Struvor' which is a rosette in English, so i think it is the same thing. Deep fried waffle cake.
Yeeeees! Jordnær is such an amazing place. Went there while they were still two stars, not long after they had also had a fire, the place was amazing, Eric is an amazing person, as is his wife, Tina. The food was amazing too, I am looking forward to my next visit. I recognize a lot of the dishes, as well.
" she fell in love with his cooking and then the man himself". A gastronomic love letter.
The restaurant is in my local area.
It's been there for 7 years and has slowly been building itself to a better and better standard.
They've had to replace the Michelin Star sign outside a few times :)

They have 2 Michelin stars and it’s not as expensive
Great staff and food there
Really enjoying the extra information on wine. It helps folks to understand why some products might be chosen over others!
his video editing puts 99% of full time youtubers to shame
An admirable story, and a great video. Thank you for making it.
Been looking forward to this restaurant review🎉

Great video, restaurant and story of the chef
Love all the info on the wines
Love your videos, very entertaining
These videos have such a nice feeling to them.
Is that a larva underneath the pink flower at 12:34? You only see it move for a split second. Goes to show how fresh the ingredients really are!
yes it is :D Good catch!
I had no idea that there was a 3 star restaurant just around the corner, i pass et every day. Thanx
Have you dined at Patrick O’Connel’s restaurant in The Inn at Little Washington, Virginia? He recently received 3 Michelin stars. I’ve been dining there for years, long before any stars. Always sublime with nods to French, Southern and local cuisine. Highly recommend- the Inn is a total destination. 🤩
Chef has a similar story from movie "Burnt". Very interesting 👌🏼
never clicked so quickly
a great exposure of how thanks to food people can overcome unbelivable life problems ,
Tried to go here twice, unsuccessfully trying to stack Noma and Alchemist trips but it looks like my next trip will primarily be for Jordnaer!
Am I the only one amazed by his suit selection? I'm more curious to hear about that. (I do believe he had the same suit for the Alchemist episode located in Copenhagen, so it might be a Denmark combination ) :)
Oh my… I used to sell Charles Heidsieck but I have neeeverrrr seen that bottle~! Lovely, a new wine to lust after 😂
For the price I was personally expecting slightly more, however I don't know much about how much it costs to find all the ingredients neccesary, I just remembered about that one restaurant that Alexander said he liked which had (I think) 17 courses but for 250$ without the wine pairing (But maybe that restaurant had worse tasting food, I honestly dont remember it perfectly)

Amazing story !
I hope that the blood on his hands dont affect too much the plates
Amazing story >>> good for him. BT 🇨🇦
How would you compare the king crab you got from the French Laundry to the one you got at Jordnær if possible?
Rosehip not hip rose, lol. Love your videos.
It didn't even occur to me that Denmark had gangs. lol.
Every time I watch one of Alex's video's I find out just how many chefs have connections to Noma
Awesome video 👍
we have a very similar snacks with rosette waffle here in indonesia, called "kembang goyang". If u googling it, the shape and texture is exactly the same :D
1 hour gang!!
Excellent ❤
Would be interesting to know where his gold watch came from :)
Love those Georg Jensen pitchers!
I like the little cutaways where you inform us! Thought they were a bit too many and too long this time though. Great video as always!
It didin't look like much food ... I was still hungry after watching ... great review
it's meant to be art rather than filling you up. but the point is the dozens of dishes will fill you up eventually.
@@yeshuaislord6880exactly tasting menus are deceptive, ive never left hungry, just financially lighter but that said, spiritually happier.
It's the taste menu, so it's supposed to be many small dishes like 20 appetizers, instead of 3-5 meals.
wine is so different that even experts can't taste the difference in a blind tasting test lol
guarantee there's no difference between that bottle and a 10$ bottle at walmart
First Video without Krug 😢
Perfect menu for toothless grandma
Please make a guide for more layers!!
Will you come in Switzerland once? If so, do you have any ideas? Keep going 👏🏻
You have got to review Quay in sydney
Whats your opinion on wines being more consistent because of technology?
Arent you worried that more consistent wine-making and more similar product from year to year, is gonna make it less interesting?
This chef inspires me
My bad, learned a new thing. Smultron is "wild strawberry" ... English should adopt a more distinct word to describe this delicacy.
always trust a hugger 👌
"Japanese chef who cooks Italian cuisine in Germany".
I don't think his career choices were innocent accidents.😂
I was not expecting you to mention Lars Ulrich
Time to drink some Krug because of Alexander

What a terrible comment and preference.
Where do you get your sport jackets?
3:37 the Swedish pastry is called "struva". It's... not very good imo, it's something the older generation grew up with.
Spot on
Please,visit hotel de ville crisier in Switzerland.,3 michelin star
Hey, are you also going to germany, there are also amazing restaurants
Go to Klein Jan in South Africa!!!
