This was one of my favorite episode of this series. The amount of respect and appreciation for the products, gastronomic culture and also for the client is mind-blowing!

He is directing that kitchen and those other incredibly talented chefs to create delicious food that perfectly represents the environment that they exist in. Like he said, the season, the DAY itself.

Was fortunate enough to dine here with my family and it was the best meal of my life! The wine pairing/knowledge and service was impeccable. Our tasting menu was very Japanese focused, everything was delicious
I had an incredible dining experience here, arguably the best Michelin experience I've had, in January 2020 - it was fascinating to see these chefs work so hard to bring it all to life in this video! Bravo!
That is sooooooooo interesting. You must be such a great person. Have you considered writing a book about this fascinating experience or, perhaps, making a short film to be shown at Cannes? People could all clap at the end and realise how great you were?
Love these videos, finally a kitchen shows their cleaning process. I have expected half of these high end kitchens to have cleaning staff, nice to see how this restaurant approaches it!
It is pure slavery... You don't know how is hard to be Chef or part of staff but cleaning always do everyone under chefs position... and with enormous stress 🤦🏻♀️👎
Chef here for 14 years. Currently headchef at a local fine dining. We clean the kitchen ourselves but we do have cleaners and we appreciate all the work she does. That being said, I find it pompous of chefs having their staff do that amount of cleaning when there are people that can't do our job and still need a job as a cleaner for example. The chefs didn't work their ass off to be cleaning mid shift. He might make it sound grandiose but it's really taking advantage of your hard working low salary payed individuals. And this is coming from someone that did the pots and pans when my dishy was on sick.

Aren't high end restaurants the first to do farm to table? Because at that level, you have to choose the best product which you can't get unless it's from the farm or specifically sourced area. Lower end restaurants would be the ones that would probably struggle from farm to table because of the cost
Kitchens like this seem, at least ostensibly, to be a dream to work in. If this is an accurate representation of their daily proceedings, then that's astounding, in the true sense of the word. This kitchen is on my stage/work bucketlist for this reason.
@@dpclerks09 I work in a restaurant with a similar environment. There are a couple of odd eggs in it, and no the food is where NEAR as advanced. The potential for a good work environment in restraints seems to track with how intricate the food being made is.
"Beautiful food isn't the point of what we do, it's the result of what we do." Man, that's a deep ass quote. You can tell this guy is a great leader / inspiration for his employees.
That really impressive sustainable source to kitchen cooking that showcases that you will food you want to eat fresh as much as literally from the farm outside.
Fine example of why you have to appreciate what they do. The work, the passion, you can see why this restaurant has the stars. Fascinating to watch a team like that working synchronized.
I think this is the best Mise en Place I have seen on this channel. I was absolutely blown away by the presentation and creativity of every dish shown.
If Eater decides to cover some European restaurants, I would love to see one on 180 Degrees in Tallinn, Estonia. I ate there last year and it was incredible from start to finish. This May they received their first Michelin star when the guide expanded to Baltic countries.
As a gluten free (not by choice) pescatarian (by choice)that loves Japanese culture and food - this place looks like my DREAM restaurant. Maybe one day I can afford to travel to Sonoma and eat here!
The restaurant and how efficient it is is very inspiring, but despite all of that I wonder how happy the owner really is, you can see how much stress has been worn into the guy but he’s obviously proud of what he’s created so honestly maybe he is happy, hard to tell
Happy about his clients and product however at the end of the day the sacrifice is enormous, no weekends off, no holidays off, you miss your children growing up, you miss out on life unfortunately……very easy to become jaded. As soon as my kids were born I switched to a completely simple style of food in order to have a life balance…..but videos like this make me long for that kind of challenge in a kitchen
@@hemmygrant after working 18 hour days constantly for 3 years i decided to do exactly the same. Never worked in 3 michelin stared restaurant tho, i Caped at 2 xD . You get to a point in your career where you get to decide if you actually want to have a life or not . i chose life :)
Every Michelin star chef is under a lot of stress because they want to keep their star/stars and waiting for the star announcements for each year is incredibly stressful since those stars really make or break a fine dining restaurant. Also the fact that the Michelin inspector could be any one of your clients is incredibly stressful too. I don't envy him that much
Love the videos! Super interesting and gives you a better understanding and insight how these places work, how much effort they put in and the creativity that is needed to realize these "products".
Great video as always! You guys should try and get a video with Inn at Little Washington in Virginia. A fabulous 3 Michelin star restaurant I went to last winter. Not sure if you already have something in the works or are in contact with them, but would be an excellent edition to the Mise En Place series!
I used to live 15 mins from there. It's a beautiful area, and the chef, Patrick, is apparently a really nice guy (I've met him several times at a holistic health store in the area, completely unrelated to cooking). He often wore an athletic jacket, pj bottoms, and converse shoes haha.
New subscriber. Excellent video. I have a renowned respect for what goes into being a top chef and a better appreciation for the term farm to table. Blessings
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.
This guy has a cheat code of a farm in his backyard for starters and just dresses up the freshest ingredients. The huge added plus was he seemed super grounded and humble dude like a savant at his craft .....hes smooth with it......
i love this blend of new American farm-to-table with the traditional japanese kaiseki. Two styles with different origins, but the same goal. Very interesting and unique!
How is it two different origins lol. Japanese kaiseki very specifically uses local fresh produce from farms. Stop trying to appropriate other cultures and claim it as your own
Exactly lol. To be fair, that’s just how Americans talk. They exaggerate their emotions about the most mundane things. “Oh my god that pasta was so awesome!”
Not really,compared to someone who owns a burger joint. At this level,you can afford to open sensible hours and work a 5 day week. Don't know about this restaurant,but one of the best restaurants here in the UK, the 3* Michelin L'Enclume in the village of Cartmel is closed on Sundays and Mondays,is open from 6.30pm till 8pm only on Tuesdays and from 12-1.30 pm and 6.30pm-8pm from Wednesdays to Saturdays. But the tasting menu will set you back £250 per person excluding drinks and service charge!🤣
I had the hotpot menu which was exceptional. However, if you're not used to asian flavors or open to those flavors, the food can be a bit challenging (overheard some people saying they didn't like what they were trying)
The hassun was an impressive experience. I visited at this place last month and we had the late winter at Sonoma and we were vowed by the presentation. And I was able to see the team setting up for other tables later on that evening...and man, they are precise and quick! It's labor intensive but all dishes were executed perfectly! It's such a mesmerizing experience!!
Very easy to grow your own if you have even a small backyard or terrace! We grow squash every year and always pick a few blossoms as a special treat :)
That's my thought. It seems like too many of these restaurants try to ride only on making some kind of super fancy presentation and they surround all that showmanship with mediocre ingredients or just don't put everything they have into it. These people really are taking it to a level that has to be appreciated I think
I honestly don’t think people respect or understand the hard work and tireless dedication it takes to perform at this high a level day in and day out. Impressive work guys.
I always thought farm to table was obnoxious but when he said it’s our duty to showcase the hard work of the farmers, they work on it for months we have to ace it one day. Shows massive respect.
