"I gave a beginner's answer. I just outed myself as a noob."
I swear, Ollie is my spirit animal.
😂😂❤️
I am just like Ollie hahaha
Mine, too!!
I'd serve you and your spirit animal, I'll happily take the glass of wine. When a cook comes and asks about the meal, just agree with anything they say.
If Ollie said "that ribeye is so buttery and beefy tasting" cook might say "we have some ribeye that has been dry-aging for 40 days, would you like to try some?" That's a ribeye that's been living in that New York apartment of a fridge for twice as long. But then again "it's just meat"
Im just amazed at how thin skinned chefs can be.
You know it’s legit when even the waiter is used to showing the food off in front of a camera 😂 he was literally holding it out to camera so they could get a better shot
For real, really nice place. Honestly can't believe he told them to switch the order of the meats, like the chef himself came out and gave you his recommendation and after he leaves you're just gonna be like "Actually I like it this way instead"? Hope a waiter didn't hear that and tattle on them again lol
@@DTKloves8 yeah but tbf chef hooni has been going there for a long time so he's built a preference for it. He just said that's how he liked it he didn't ask them to follow his sequence. Josh and Ollie should have eaten it the recommended way tho since they are new.
@Purva Konduskar yeah it's not like I would even be able to tell which was better myself anyway. I just had visions of that Italian restaraunt almost kicking them out 🤣
TBF they're in New York, home of the "influencers", so that adds up
@@DTKloves8 😂😂😂 right! I wanna visit here
"I don't like being in the kitchen, it reminds me of work." Oh my goodness this poor sweet man 😂
I'm a caterer. I work in a kitchen. And yes, it is work. Also, even though there are harder and more stressful jobs, it is not for everyone.
Having spent my 20s behind a stove in NYC… I don’t want to see the kitchen. Ruins the magic.
This is why I am not a gynecologist
The problem is it's a lie. He loves being in the kitchen. He didn't go because he knew he could not spend a simple 11 minutes back there.
I just don't know why, but Ollie always managed to upset the chef, even when he wasn't even trying to 😂 Poor Ollie, he's way too honest and innocent.
childish.
“When you’re marrying somebody…it’s just a woman…” ….Ollie just got owned at his own game and he knew it the minute he covered his face 😂😂
For reference its @2:56
Omg! So funny but true
Best part ...gave me the giggles
ʜɪᴛ ᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴏɴ ᴛᴇʟᴇɢʀᴀᴍ ɪ ɢᴏᴛ sᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ sᴘᴇᴄɪᴀʟ ғᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ 🎁🎁🎊....
Ollie: *emotional damage*
Whenever Josh tries something good, it always looks like his eyes are trying to leave its sockets 😂
Thought about the same thing!😂
Don't look up Mark Wiens LOL
I giggled the moment he closed his eyes and drew his hands upon his chest. "Do you need a moment alone with the steak Josh?"
I agree. It looked like he was having an intensely private moment!
@@SharinganNin I was gonna say the same thing.
I'm a chef, and I absolutely agree that you should let your guests send you the occasional glass of wine. I don't know anybody who doesn't cook better with a glass of wine in them. It's just one of the many magical things that I love about cooking
I could never cook while buzzed on booze, but I was an absolute demon if I had a couple puffs of weed. Working out front, I was useless with weed in me, but an absolute demon coming back from break with a couple of beers in me. I would rock two sections alone with my eyes closed and I'd get tipped BANK.
@@GunsNBudder I'm sure that's true because there's science to prove it
That is good to know... Thanks for the tip Chef!
I never knew you could do that.
Reminds me of a towel I had. It had, I cook with wine. Sometimes I add it to the pot. Always made me laugh.
interesting to see your reactions to American food...and America in general. Its refreshing to see people from England appreciate rather than denigrate America and American culture..... Bravo to you for being appreciative and honest
Yeah, Josh and Ollie are lovely; they are true world travelers and open to different cultures. They are a credit to their country.
I totally agree.
Agreed
ollie is so genuinely polite, he is always trying his best to be respectful and fix little mistakes he makes.
Also he's HuhLAAAAAARRious
it was a really classy move on his part. I like that about him.
Oysters are not a beginner's seafood experience. The first time that I ever ate an oyster it came right back up. Ollie is very brave as his face says it all!
I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay. We were eating raw oysters in kindergarten.
@@ericmgarrison no one I know who hasnt had them at least on occasion growing up likes them, even though you shouldnt eat them as a kid
I've had a few oysters. Some I could barely eat, some so sweet and delicious I was legit excited. Unfortunately they're on a "sampler" plate and I never remember which ones are the kind I like.
@@goosex3644 I was born loving oysters and eating them.
@@goosex3644 Why shouldn't you eat them as a kid?
I love how Ollie sent the chef a glass of wine
Ribeye is absolutely my favorite cut. It’s very noob cook friendly. It’s good medium rare to well done. It still stays relatively tender even at well done. Plus, ribeye can be sliced thin to make marinated meats or cheesesteak or whatever. Hands down the most versatile cut.
Absolutely my favorite as well!
Mine too but mine has to be medium rare. We also slice it thin for a bistro salad
My favorite also! Would love one right now, please! A large one. And a baked potato. I'm starving and I wasn't even hungry when the video first started!
Filet mignon is the best followed by prime rib, porterhouse and T-Bone
@@jeffhampton2767 Pssshhhhh... Noob
That retort at Ollie's question makes my day🤣🤣
It was hilarious....and I'm " just a woman". Lol!!!!!!!!
@@MsWarriordiva Are you calling yourself "just meat?" I have a neanderthal brain.
Its not a bad answer. Filets are great, but steak snobs will swear by the ribeye because it has much better marbling. At the end of the day though, whatever you like most is the best steak.
@@collapsingagain The best steak is elk... Elk have less marbling, so you have to cook it faster. Use butter if the marbling sucks.... "we serve all of our steaks with butter"
@@heruhcanedean No, she's just saying she's a woman via the guest's joke. Most people would say, "As a woman,..." or, ",and I'm a woman!" Her quoting the phrase let's you know the reference. And since the reference was part of a funny retort...you can infer that she's joking about being "just a woman".
i had to pause and lol'ed so hard then rewatched "When you're marrying somebody, just a woman" because that was the funniest and most epic comeback a guest has said in this channel. EVER! Ollie was rendered speechless!
Easily the funniest comeback in J&O
Dude makes the most animated faces when he doesn’t like something. Chefs actually appreciate that. We know what that person doesn’t like.
I had no idea you could send wine to the chef. That's such a nice thing to do. 🙂
You really have to appreciate the restaurants that Josh and Ollie visit which are willing to work with the fact they are filming. It makes me even more interested in visiting the places they visit that treat them like family.
I think it makes a big difference if the reviewer is a legit channel and not just a "yelp" reviewer. You can tell with the equipment Josh and Ollie are using, they are taken serious. And like your last sentence, it is free advertising for the restaurant and gets people in their door who see these good videos (and the food). Those steaks looked great.
THIS!!! Thanks for putting it into words!
This channel has 3 million subscribers. Do you know how much companies are willing to pay for this kind of exposure? The restaurants are not "willing to work with the fact that they are filming", they're absolutely excited by the idea of getting a massive amount of publicity basically for free.
So they don’t have steaks like this in England? Or perhaps they just haven’t been to a high end steak house in England? At least they didn’t ask for ketchup.
US and UK butchery (how the carcass is cut) are distinct from one another, as is the breeds of cattle, not to mention how they're raised and fed.
Another jolly video where I get jealous of Ollie and Josh eating delicious foods 🤣
At breakfast time ....
I'm not. Dead cow just looks digusting to me. Eating mammal bodies just doesn't appeal to me.
Don't we all? ... 😉
How do you think Gabbie must feel 😅
I love a good steak. Hearing them talking about it, I was getting hungry. I just had a NY strip steak last night, and I was just savoring every bite.
Love how chef Hooni looks like he was sitting on his couch eating chips before saying "ya'll wanna go get steak?"
He looks asinine. Going out to an expensive steak house dressed like a 20 year old at McDonalds
He’s world class chef going to a colleagues restaurant on his day off. It’s not a life changing event like it is for a peasant like you.
That's just New York. You could be dressed like a bum and be a multimillionaire at the same time. Look at 7:44 (people with their kids in casual wear)
This video made me realize that my dad, when we could afford it, made sure to set me on the right path for steak choices. To this day a Ribeye with the fatcap still on is in my top 3 favorite foods.
Thank you for the educational video
America does have a lot of amazing food. People only think of junk food, but we have amazing chefs and local restaurant cooks too.
There are steaks in the uk to
@@lucylane7397 Ok? It's still going to be different in the USA vs UK.
The southern portion of the USA has the best food in the world. From west to east its coastal/baja mexican, southwestern, central mexican, texas BBQ, tex-mex, louisiana cajun/creole, deep south soul food, cuban, puerto rican.
A lot of people forget that its a land of immigrants, and what people are always gonna bring with them from their home countries is their favorite foods. So you end up with pretty much all the best dishes from all over the world and unique dishes made from from the local environments.
@Apsoy Pike what do you mean?
When trusting advice on what tastes good i always look at Ollie’s face! He never pretends just shows his raw emotions. Josh is a bit more conservative at masking his face to what he likes/dislikes.
Josh is also more of a foodie, so his taste buds have acquired many a taste. Ollie, on the other hand, is one of us 😁
What an awesome waiter I love how he showed the food to the camera very polite as well ❤
"It's nice to MEAT you all." Ollie NEVER disappoints!
I’m here for Ollie being polite to a collection of 🥩 in a freezer. They have feelings too, you know.
Yes when they were alive and had souls 😂😅
Animals don’t have souls✌️
I guess it would considered...a rarity.
Pope Francis says they do.
@@ToChristBTheGlory Yes they do. I still eat them, though. It's soul is It's spirit. Once something dies, it's spirit leaves the body.
I may be wrong but maybe one of the few times where the guest (Hooni) has out-Ollie’d Ollie 😂
these are the types of videos i enjoy watching.. where the chef's aren't pretentious and are just genuinely there to enhance ones dining experience.
A sip of a good Pinot Noir right after a nice bite of steak is a singularly sublime experience in itself.
Love this guest chef and his response to Ollie’s question! Bring him back!
damn when Chef Hooni said "just imagine kimchi fried rice with the steak" my mouth watering. 10:28
"Nice to meet you all" Stellar Dad joke Ollie, just Stellar :)
When chef Hooni was talking about tasting the cow and Josh immediately "mmm"ed, I was expecting a guest appearance from the cartoon cows from Gabi's videos.
Also, he makes a great point that I think a lot of foreigners visiting America don't realize: Yes, our portion sizes are about two meals worth, but part of the reason is that you're expected to take some home. We're not the only place with a strong leftover culture (I know it's pretty common to cook once and eat two or three times in Japan and Korea, for instance), but I think we may be the only country where leftover culture is an integral part of the restaurant experience.
This is definitely news to me. In my experience, I would think that having leftovers even if you can take them home is considered "unclassy". Love this for ya.
@soonlet Yeah, in the US it's very much standard practice. Some people think it's a little _déclassé_ in the fanciest/most expensive of restaurants, but just about anywhere you might have your average date or birthday dinner or company team lunch or whatever reason random 99%ers go out to eat, no one thinks it's weird to get your leftovers boxed up to go. In fact, an easy way to tell how fancy a place is [trying to be] is whether they box your leftovers up for you or just give you a takeout container to fill yourself (though honestly I prefer the option to figure out what I want together vs. separated, and maybe get that one side the other person didn't like but I did, you know, better customization when you do it yourself).
@@soonlet4977 In the U.S. it’s genuine considered rude to waste food. Especially, considering you already paid for it. My sister often brings home half her meal for me.
@@Appaddict01 I wish this it's more prevalent everywhere else. I'm really pleasantly surprised and frankly shocked this isn't the norm and I can't think of any other country I know that generally does this. But now I'm gonna pretend I'm American as an excuse to do this.
@@tildessmoo in Australia it’s 50:50 whether they’ll offer it. Never happen in a high class restaurant. If you do take leftovers they are not allowed to box it for you anymore (law changed awhile ago) they’ll give you boxes for you to do it yourself. I would hardly ever take anything home. I’ve done it but it’s rare for me. Don’t trust myself to eat it in time and then I’d just have to throw it out anyway. 😊
The face that Ollie made for the oysters... 😂😂😂
That's me. I'm not sophisticated enough to love oysters.
I love shellfish though.
I just hope it's the last time Ollie tries oysters. As someone who loves them, it bothers me to see them wasted.
Everyone(?) has something they don't like to eat. No reason to force it.
Ollie is me with oysters (and most seafood) 😅
The "When you're marrying somebody, it's just a woman 👁👄👁💁🏻♂️" bit is SO GOOD 😂
at 3:04
Nothing beats equating women to a meal. I'm sure this guy has an NFT to sell you.
Top 5 funniest things ever said on this channel. And it's not even said by the Olly or Josh
@@jer280 Please defend the honor of women everywhere, they need you, king.
@@throwacnt7603 it's the literal example in bad tv that the asshole says something like "it's about conquering, and getting the deal done". This is a literal trope played out in real life. Also a terrible example, the restaurant or steak you eat at had zero value or importance outside of that single meal. Also this chef acts like he couldn't cook just as good of a steak for his family at home.
@@jer280 you completely missed the point of what he was saying in the video lol. A good steak can't be compared to any old piece of meat in the same way that the person you're marrying can't be compared to any random person on the street
Ollie, you may want to try fried oysters instead of on the half shell. I think they taste a lot better cooked!
Josh is my favorite. He is so knowledgeable about food. You can tell this is a passion. Immerses himself in the knowledge before.
I have to tell you that I recently only discovered your channels and I am hooked! I have been binge watching your videos, and they are a much needed distraction while I am out of work with an injury! Thank you!! Your series with the high schoolers in Korea was wonderful! You really have changed their lives for ever!
YAY! So excited to see the boys being fed well in NYC. Also, Jamie from SortedFood better be watching this video.
Why should jamie watch the video?
"I do not think this is filmed in New York city." More like in the Scotland restaurant. It was on the left top corner in the beginning of this video.
@@drsrsv8884 He likes steak.
@@young-soonkim6730
Different restaurants Scotland 2021, The head chief is at Amber Steakhouse Brooklyn, NY.
Ollie eating and reacting to food compilation should be a thing this year.
Absolutely fantastic video, guys! I love how you are so open minded and socially vulnerable. The ENTIRE reason for these "experiments" is to learn and grow, which you BOTH show us time and again. You have the perfect gentleman to show you around the steak world. I've been in/out of the food industry for the last 30 years and HE KNOWS HIS SHIT! I also love how you recognize when you've gone against "the norm" and do your best to recover (sending the glass of wine). IMHO, I'd hire either or both of you to be my country's attaches of food/social integration. I know it's not a real title, but I'd create it, just for the two of you.
Porterhouse steaks are my favorite and I ate so many of them when I was pregnant with my son, 53 years ago. Now I want to go out today and buy some from a local farmer and have it for dinner tonight!
Where are farmers allowed to sell their meat?
@@sanniepstein4835 a lot of places near me you can get a "farm share" and pay maybe $50+ every week/month/whatever and get a few different kinds of meats, maybe steaks, sausages, chicken etc. Like a meat subscription box
@@kittymcmeowmeow1 I think you accidentally snitch to some gov fascist agent who wants to fine them...don't reveal ur location.
@@Aunt_Bee4738 ? It's perfectly legal where I live??
@@kittymcmeowmeow1 careful, or the meat lobby will fine them to oblivion, in the US, you have to send your cows to the meat lobby to butcher your animals.
It's interesting how oysters go through phases when they're considered to be peasant food for the poor, then expensive status food, then peasant food again. A good book on the history of oysters (and a very enjoyable really funny read), is Kurlansky's "The Big Oyster." All his books are really good, actually.
Can't wait for lobsters to go back to peasant status.
Lived in Turtle Bay (NYC) neighborhood for 39 yrs. Have been to every great steak joint in NY. Amber is second to none. Worth the ride to Brooklyn.
I love the way Ollie tastes food. He usually looks up, closes his eyes, chews the food and either cringes or smiles widely. Please, please, please post the next time you're in Georgia. I am down the road and a big fan and would love to meet you guys. Enjoy all your shows!
Funny enough, when I watch these videos I only look at Ollie’s reaction because I know he’ll give us a genuine review, even if his tastes are different from ours. All food is “good” to Josh, plus he may be more focused on giving video-friendly “influencer reactions”.
@@MichelleD2023 I need to ACTIVELY focus on Ollie more because watching Josh eat is my least favorite part of the videos. Ollie def seems more genuine & sincere in everything he does. 💜
Josh's reactions don't seem genuine and are a bit over the top. I trust Ollie's reactions because they are real - good or bad.
Wow, the chef is still at the Amber steakhouse. He's a damn good Chef obviously, been there since the opening. Used to be a Polish cafeteria style food before. Wonder if Andre the GM is still working as well?
Yes, he is.
Josh really loves food--even going to the aging room he was so excited! Can't fake that look in the eyes!
This has really become one of my favorite shows on You Tube! Ollie's expressions when eating certain foods just makes me laugh out loud. Josh always has a fun time and seems to have always done his research. on the places that they visit. It's always a good time!!
I really love Chef Hooni! hope to see more of this series with him!!
I ran the private dining rooms in a French restaurant here in the States, and I am surprised that people don't know about sending a glass of vino as a pre-meal tip or a post-meal thank you. Just as I often tip before a meal (knowing I may need to top off with more tip later), I will sometimes send a glass to a chef before the food comes out, so they know that we are looking forward to a wonderful evening. I've seen extra courses (like an amuse-bouche) hit the table GRATIS!
With how tipping culture has escalated in the US, if I'm dining out at a super fancy restaurant the last thing I'm thinking about is to also send the chef a beer or a glass of wine before or after a meal. I read Kitchen Confidential, from that pov drugs would be more suitable Would I send a glass the next time I'm dining out? Probably not.
@ericmgarrison That's interesting! It's also a nice gesture to the chef, too. 😊
Honestly I don't think it's that common in the UK, so I'm not surprised they didn't know. I feel like the main reason people give wine to the chef/staff here is when they are too full to finish it. And literally no one would tip before eating, but then again the tipping culture is completely different here compared to the US.
@@theskydeity Oh, I was referring to Americans. I did my post-grad in the UK and restaurant culture is definitely different. I remember the waiter looked at me oddly when I asked, "May I start with the (whatever) while I look over the menu."
@@anasandoval6698 I am getting tired of the "Would you like to add $5 to your bull for our local charity?" (What? So you can get the tax write-off and not me?). Or "We suggest an additional $___ for back of house." (What? Have your wait staff tip out, use a point system, or pay your Boy staff more than what you are now). I really like the European system where the price on the menu is what you pay (food wise - where taxes are added in to the menu price). The tip is often a rounding up, because they pay them properly and don't expect the diner to pay for the help.
He’s so right about fillet being the beginner answer. Filet mignon used to be my favorite and over the last 10 years of learning how to cook myself as well as eating at better restaurants as an adult, the ribeye cap is 100% the best and my favorite cut on the cow.
Guys, I've been binge watching your videos all day. This is the most fun I've had on TH-cam in a while. I'm so jealous of you, getting to try all those different foods.
Love you guys! Glad you're enjoying your time on this side of the pond.
These guys are a hoot. I love their reviews and learning how to love different foods.
My thoughts exactly! I've been holding off going to NYC for nearly 3 years, I must admit, its high time I go back for another visit, especially to that steakhouse!
Josh's happiness when tasting the ribeye is delightful.
I kinda wanna know what happened after they sent the wine to the chef.
Everything looked amazing!!
I thought I was the only one who buys a lot of steak rare/medium-rare so that I can reheat it later for leftovers!
Great coverage again!
You have such awesome friends! Everytime you bring a guest on they offer a unique persepective on the food they love!
“It tastes quite A Lot like the sea.” 😂🤣
It's interesting how so many flavors can be contained in a single animal, or even a single cut of meat.
It's a lot like music. I once showed my friend (who was no novice to music, but was choral in his studies) how many different sounds can be pulled out of one cymbal.
Meat is like that. Lot of flavors from one instrument.
I’m so glad y’all tried this while you were in America. I love steak so much😭😭 never had a NY strip though, and let me say, my mouth was WATERING the whole time watching this
Love how they show the different cultures of America and all the dishes meeting each other sort of like the German potatoes and stuff
You should come to Lancaster PA, you would love our PA dutch food here. Katie's Kitchen, Miller's Smorgasbord, Dienner’s Country Restaurant. The list could go on and on. We also have a lot of farmers markets with some of the best food stands you could ever imagine. Root's on Tuesdays, Green Dragon on Fridays. At Roots they also have a produce/plant auction and an animal auction.
probably would like it, its pretty bland like im guessing english food is.
I love their reactions to steak especially the ribeye! I have had those reactions too with a wonderfully cooked steak by chefs who know their business! Love these guys😊

Guys, I just realized Jolly has only got 3.72M subs, and yes that is impressive, but... with the content production, the international variety of people/culture they feature, and video editing prowess, not to mention Ollie's unique comedy, they deserve more subs! How do we campaign to get this number up? Of those channels you are subscribed to that have more than 6M-8M subs, compare, and now ask yourself, aren't Jolly videos equal to or even better?
You guys can try nearly every cuisine here and it will be some of the best food you will ever have. You really have to try NYC Sushi. The quality restaurants have the fish imported from Tokyo. Go to Sakagura for drinks then to the amazing Sushi Yasuda across the street. Sasabune, Momokawa and Sushi Noz are my locals, all incredible. Then there is Sushi Seki, a lifetime favorite. The sushi is amazing, but the freshly made noodles and broth are divine. Hasaki on 9th str near 3rd ave is one of the best casual places, great for lunch. That and Korean barbecue would make great videos.
Love going to steakhouse for dinner. I agree the best cut is ribeye. It's my favorite. Thanks guys!!!
I just love watching you guys!
High quality video per usual, great job lads
Recently I got to try a Brazilian Churrasco experience and OMG the meats. The start to finish was wonderful. I can’t wait to go back! We went to Fogo De Chao.
We live in a Brazilian neighborhood in Atlanta. Fogo is kind of Americanized, but it is still a great experience. 👍
I love how Ollie was double checking the names of the cuts while Josh is speaking like we know what he's talking about
I dont know how y’all came into my feed last week, but yall are hilarious and I will continue to follow yall👏🏽
The steak looks so yummy. I love all three of you and your food reactions.
I went to a buchter for a t-bone here in denmark, where i have many times before. He was so proud of he steak that he woulden't give me one because it had to dry a nother 2 dayes...the wait was worth it .-)
It's just a woman. I watch the whole video, and there are still tears in my eyes from that one. Classic!
Great Steak education. I could never describe the differences but this cleared it up so quick, and made complete sense.
Looks delicious! You guys are totally having a mouthgasm! 😆
I wonder if Ollie is a super taster! You should check his taste buds to see if he has more than Josh and why the oyster flavor overwhelmed him.
If he were, he'd like oysters.
@@catherinelw9365 often super tasters don’t like or think certain foods are too much b/c all the flavors they are tasting are too overwhelming. It sounds odd, but imagine if your favorite music, albeit good, was played so loud that it hurts your ears. Being a super taster is not always a positive thing. 😊
@@catherinelw9365 That's not how super tasters work. Super tasters means they have extra tastebuds, so a lot of flavors that aren't present for most people are much more pronounced. Most super tasters greatly prefer bland food (which Ollie does). It's also probably why Ollie prefers the filet to the other steaks because filets have less flavor.
I'm a super taster and can't eat most seafood because I'm much more sensitive to the fishy taste than most people. Often times if I have a bite of some one's fish that they claim isn't fishy at all, it'll still taste really fishy to me. It's not unusual for super tasters to dislike most seafood.
Yeah, wouldn't be surprised at all especially with his love of bland foods which is super common with super tasters.
Josh and Ollie are both super tasters! They did DNA testing in one of their videos
Thank you Ollie for your honesty LOL. I'm not a shell food fan and people always try to say I just haven't had the right ones yet. No Its just Not for me. I'd be making the same faces, too funny.
Thanks for taking us along!
I just have to say that I really enjoy following you guys to the many restaurants in which you indulge. You're a couple of young guys who shouldn't know much of anything and yet even though I've been all over the world including to the best restaurants in the world, I learn something from you every time. Thank you for the service you provide and being so entertaining while you do it. Maybe I'll see you in London. Cheers!
Now I want steak for breakfast. That looked so delicious!
I had leftover trip tip for my breakfast! It made watching the show more enjoyable.
Steak! YES!
Nowadays, we split a ribeye (my favorite cut...& really the only steak we usually buy) *three* ways. It's so expensive! Luckily, my husband & daughter prefer to split the filet so I get the cap! 💃💃💃 Oh, & I save the large bits of fat for our friends' dogs who we frequently watch. Happy dogs!
On a more serious note, it's always good to send a glass of wine to the chef AND your server when having a meal like that - and as your guest notes, it will mean much better service the next time around (they remember generosity like that). ESPECIALLY if you are drinking anything vintage/rare - sending tastes to the staff shows your appreciation for them, but more importantly, also educates the staff as well. It actually helps make them better at their jobs.
The educating them part isn't true. As a server, any decent restaurant requires their servers to taste and drink anything they will be selling so that they can properly describe it. The only exception is incredibly high prices wines which are only a small handful. Also while it's a great gesture, not every restaurant allows it. There are a lot that don't allow any drinking while a server or chef is working (outside of training). At my current restaurant, any time we get in a new wine or beer (we rotate a few beers from local breweries) all servers have to taste it.
@@Persephoneia01 yea, but how many of you get exposure to vintage wines? Betting not as many as could, and also betting your restaurant ain't just letting you taste it to know the profiles. But a lot of places offer corkage fees if you bring in your own bottle, which is not uncommon, especially high end places - in the event that happens then it's 100% an educational moment, or at the very least one of appreciation.
@@DJMarcO138 Most of us have a good knowledge of vintage wine because we drink and enjoy wine in our spare time. Most servers in high end restaurants are also encouraged to get their lvl 2 sommelier certification. Personally I have my own wine collection and mostly go to good wine bars when I do go out. Also while I see your point, it's frankly a bit patronizing for a guest to act like their doing us a favor by "educating" us instead just being nice and if you clearly have that attitude when giving us a glass you're just going to annoy us.
Also yes, we are just getting tastes to know the profiles. Tasting wine vs enjoying wine are two very different experiences.
@@Persephoneia01 you're taking my statements awfully personally. Relax your butthole. I didn't mean it in the way you're assuming I do. It's called being polite and sharing with people whose service you appreciate. And not every server is like you and can have collections to go back to, nor are all of them certified Somms or even WSET 2 certified. A lot of people are just regular ol' working folk.
A lot of restaurants don't allow employees to drink while they are working.
Great episode!
Whenever you guys are back in London, recently found this nice deli to get schnitzel sandwich in Pentoville region, called Johnny Schnitzel. It was a great find.
the food looks so amazing 😍😍
yea
As a Filipino, I want some rice with that steak! 😂
Rice and toyomansi haha.
Sinangag galing sa Paresan sa kanto👌🏼..
Garlic rice!!!
I totally felt that as a Korean myself, whenever we had steak my mom always insisted that we had rice with it because "it was too salty" (which it wasn't?? 🤣)
As someone who’s been married to a Filipino for 25 years I don’t want that, I’ll take some pancit tho 😉
Thanks again, gentlemen. Terrific, as usual.
This episode gives me a craving for a jolly & guga food collaboration.
1:12 There’s no hope for Ollie in the domain of oysters.
You know ollie is legit enjoying himself when he isnt dropping his shenanigans
I LOVE a well aged ribeye. My favorite cut also.
Ollie and the oysters.....🤣🤣🤣
I love y’all’s content!!! It makes me wish I knew how to cook a good meal.
Steak is my absolute favorite food! I’m In love. This looks amazing. Ribeye 🤤
Loved the steak watching the marbling makes me so hungry but I’m glad that you guys tried because not everyone can fly out to New York for really good steak❤
Guys! Love your show so much. If you are still in NYC, do a show about a Greek Seafood place in Astoria Queens called Taverna Kyclades! You will not regret it and it’s a Queens staple!!!
