    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.

    In a very unique fashion, this head chef/owner, really encapsulated what it means to be a great chef. I can't help but be incredibly moved about how he talks about his courses and experience. It really does feel like what a premier chef represents. 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. The creativity and artistry is absolutely incredible. I'll have to go and visit them.

      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

    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......

    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.

      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
