I know how chaotic a kitchen can be but my God how calm he is. It shows how much passion he has in his craft. Food prep, service and clean up after is a ton of work.
That is one of those “day in the life” vlogs that is so eye opening. We’re watching someone who knows what he’s doing but it’s not like you are on automatic. I see you engaged every moment be it with the prep of the food or with your coworkers. My parents had a small restaurant and I helped them open a new location. I remember going to the restaurant with my father at 5a. He had me chopping vegetables and prepping everything, taking stock, washing dishes, clearing tables and at the end of the day cleaning and mopping before we closed. Thank God he didn’t expect me to take over the restaurant because at the end of the day this kind of business is not in my blood. I didn’t love it like my parents. And it’s too much work. 🤨
Thanks for watching! Being engaged is one of the biggest challenges I find in the kitchen, gotta stay focused and keep seeking improvements!!
Nobody loves doing this shit, its only when you get good at it, where its damn near automatic that its bearable. For instance you'd think all you have to do is prep, or all you have to do is cook... but no you have to do all that plus plate, clean, etc. Look at how he ends his vid, you'd think after the hard parts are done with he can go home, but instead there he is prepping for the next day. Until then, its the people you work with that makes or breaks it, which unfortunately in many peoples experience it isn't worth it. Also by then, the job still is chaotic, but you've kicked chaos' butt so many times that its become an addiction.
Screw that! A mask all day in a hot kitchen. No way! I’ll gladly take construction.
@@maniswolftoman coming from a fellow maker (bladesmith) passion for a real craft and art is one of the most profound and best sensations of fulfillment you’ll ever have.
"being engaged every moment" lol
Editing is powerful as hell.
U aren't even watching every moment to come up with that conclusion. He likely is on autopilot much of the time and this edited video is designed to keep u (the audience) engaged😮💨
Gotta be honest, as a cook who has a VERY similar daily life, this video only made me appreciate it more.
Yeeee
Facts
Yes I appreciate these videos I honestly appreciate chefs more than police officers at this point
Same Here
This gives me a whole new appreciation of how hard your job is. The long hours, on your feet all day, the prepping, cleaning, cooking, I know you must be exhausted by the time you get home! That said, your dishes are so creative and beautiful. You bring joy to those patrons you cook for, and it makes me want to hop on a plane to Vancouver and eat at your restaurant! Skip, from Atlanta
Thanks for watching Skip!
Hard job? This looked like a slow day at a normal kitchen.
@@RNG-999 you must be bored dawg hating for what lmao
@@RNG-999 You're the guy that joins a conversation only for everyone to tell you they need to go home then wait 5 minutes in their cars till you leave so they can hang out in peace again.
Man I used to be a line cook it’s not that hard it’s just routine. I worked a pontoon rental job in Florida outside on your feet all day that started at 4:30 am to 8:30 pm now that shits exhausting.
This must have taken a ton of work! Never an easy "a life in a day ____" while vlogging, but thanks for bringing us along :)
I had to wait a while to be comfortable where I am at in order to film, was also quite a slow day so that made filming a lot easier! Thanks for Watching!!
@@RyanDeanDexton I'm just sad that the octopus isn't on the menu anymore lol. Keep doing you, Ryan! Some of your camera angles were *chefskiss 😄
clearly fucking not if he has time to play fucking director while on the clock.
@@failtolawl don’t get jealous just cos you can’t multi task
@@failtolawl you seem like a fulfilled, happy person
i mean its really honest and nice, i kinda like it idk why. you are not using like cheesy intros or even talking to the camera like other vloggers, its nice to see something simple !!
As someone starting out I really appreciate the good cinematography displaying your technique. Subscribed!
The service industry is not for everyone. But I couldn't see myself doing anything else honestly. There's something just so satisfying about it. Get to work at 7am. Don't leave till 4-6pm. But you don't feel exhausted cuz it's something you love. I am a prep cook. Loved the video brother.
I love Ryan's rawness. It's quite a refreshing feel on the internet.
Your whole day is literally work, but you seem to enjoy it! I worked at a higher end restaurant and would often work 12 hour shifts and it just wasn't for me so I quit after 4 months. I ended up finding a cooking job that's more my style and pays more, with 40 hour work weeks :D
Nice to hear. Do you still work there? How is it going?
40 hrs?
now that's a good work life balance
Whats the job? I’m looking to transition as well
A man who can cook is special.. love the video
Nothing buts respect for professional cooks. People don’t realise how hard that job is. Kudos! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Don’t miss it at all. Cheers to all you guys out there grinding a job that doesn’t get the respect it deserves
Can't tell you how much I relate to this. We were running a deli as our family business for about 47 years...
I've been away from kitchen for a month now and miss it so much, ended up here. thank you.
Passion. When you love what you do. When work isn’t work. Details . Perfection.
The perfect sort of video to watch when I wake up at 3:15 AM. Quiet elegance of a skilled chef.
3:15 AM is dedication 😴
@@RyanDeanDexton I am a good few years older than you. What would wake me 3:15 AM?🤣🤫
please continue doing these types of videos! they’re honestly the best!
Will try to do more in the future!!
My daughter is a chef in Alberta now. Her current workplace relies on her 100%, she’s the only one in the kitchen and needs to prepare a menu 8 weeks in advance! She left a chain restaurant job as manager of kitchen for her current employer! I used to be a soul chef when I was a teenager, hard work busting balls daily! Your work doesn’t go unnoticed! Good job! ❤️🇨🇦❤️ from Ontario. My son is in the health care field in Vancouver and daughter is in Fort McMurray!
Thank you for showing us this, Good luck znd I Wish this kid the best in this lifestyle, you put in 10-12 hrs days 50hrs or know a week. Get off work, sleep, wake up work and repeat. Hope you make it to the top cause I had that passion but after 20yrs I lost it
This is the most soothing thing that's happened to me all year.
Dude, that was insane…Iam exhausted just watching you. It’s incredible the hard work you all do in the kitchen. You are all amazing!!
I been cooking over 10years line cook is a stressful job but still love it at the end of the shift I just think about how much people I feed and feel great about it...
For the love of cooking--it's such hard work. It takes a special person, an artist, to enjoy it.
dont know why but this was so calm to watch pls do more like these
Quality content mate. Love the raw, unedited sounds of the kitchen experience.
Great vibes. I'd love to visit one day!
I like how laid back this kitchen is
the stacking of deli's is too real. love it!
Impressive calm under pressure and dedication. Thank you for a bit of perspective.
It's very calming watching you prepare.
man you are a warrior and brave. Thank you for sharing the reality with everyone!
That level of talent across multiple disciplines is really quite remarkable. Bravo Ryan!
it makes me so happy that a good person like ryan is in our world.
So much effort in your craft and passion omg😩💕
I absolutely love this, as a cook myself it makes me feel all cozy because 1. I can relate! and 2. I can always learn new techniques/routines/see what's it like at other kitchens. Keep it up !!
Yeah dude it was such a calming video, I normally stress out watching line videos but this one was very peaceful
With my disability I would be able to learn possibly but it would take me forever so I just stick with dishwashing but it's pretty lonely cause I work by myself so no one really checks on me lol they are like she's fine until I blow up hahaha. it's only stressful at certain times and it's made me learn not to take my job for granted because I used to work at the pancake house and my job is nothing compared to that job way way way hard plus at my job sense I work at a college I get months off and weeks off to sometimes sense the students are out for breaks so it's nice cause it gives me the time to wind down. I've even had people tell me I can't work no that's not the problem I can work but having this extra time off is such a life saver and working at a college there's no way what so ever it will ever shut down so it's nice.
It's very relaxing watching a person who knows what they're doing work.
Hi...Ryan I like your cooking and your life style so much and I feel you happy for your chef I think customer enjoy your food 😋❤️👍
This was so great to watch. There's something very comforting about watching a man and his craft. Kudos Ryan.
watching the meals come together and then the plating at the end is so relaxing
You did that all so effortlessly. Much respect for you, Ryan!
This is so satisfying to watch, especially the last part -- cleaning the mess after the long day.
Thanks for posting this video. My uncle and aunt owned a cafe and very few people realized how much work went on "behind the scenes"--even hours before the first order was submitted to the kitchen! I have tremendous respect for anyone in the culinary/restaurant business.
You have such a chill vibe…. And have a passion for what you do. It shows, and that’s why I love watching your videos. Wish you the best and hope for more. 😊
Watching your videos keeps calm and relax. Keep it up!
Truly enjoyed this video. This is part of a chef's dedication that most dinners would not know or appreciate. It is like a 24/7 job. Thanks and keep up with the good work.
I love this. You work incredibly hard, yet remain relaxed at the same time. This tireless work ethic and exceptional skill is why you always tip the staff!
i used to work as bartender and always was impressed from the long hours you guys in the kitchen willing to work. i arrived like 6:30-7 and my shift was over like 1-2am and you guys where there like all day. And finish at 11:00
Boy, I do not miss this life at all! Bless you Ryan
I love your energy and how passionate you are about cooking. Please keep up the good work!
God how I miss working in the restaurant, especially loved coming in getting everything ready and working through the day and evening just getting shit done and helping along the way with lunch service dinner service then the bit@hing lol then clean up, and prepping for the morning to start all over again with a different menu.
It’s such hard work. I am at awe. Keep up the great work
Great job capturing the day. 😀
I find it amusing and entertaining to watch your job at kitchen 👍
I miss being in a kitchen. The greatest days of my adult life took place working 16 hour days along side my chefs and other line cooks. Bright and early for brunch nonstop until the end of dinner service.
This is the one I been waitin for! Absolutely loved this! Woot woot!
Love it when you do this type of vid, actually find it very relaxing to watch after a long day at work.👍
I've never seen such beautiful dishes, the creativity of this kitchen team is unreal!!
Holy shit man. Recently I realized that I wanted to cook as a profession, not only a hobby. Watching your videos just makes me even more excited, I hope I can cook on your level soon
Don’t do it. I’m speaking from a decade of experience. It fucking sucks. Hard work, low pay, long hours, infinite physical and emotional abuse, no thanks. It ducking sucks.
New found respect for line cooks. Don't get me wrong, I have respect for anyone who works to make a living, but this looks so hard. So much talent needed. Excellent work.
showing what he really does all day without speaking actually spoke a lot. Love it.
I rlly loved the simplicity of this video. This video also helped me escape for a bit. Keep up the work I hope you're truly appreciated.
This was really fun to watch! Love to see how kitchens function. Thanks for sharing Ryan :)
So love these bts perspectives to the inner workings of a restaurant, especially the backend! To be in the culinary world, you have to show grit and passion for the art at the same time! Have to be in tuned to all your senses: sight, smell, taste, feel and sound! Dang, the discipline and steadfastness of a military soldier with the finesse and timing of any genre of artists.
Filmed and edited so well. Great flow, great feel. And a greater appreciation to the service industry for feeding everyone’s craving ass ass*ss! Thanks, Ryan!
thanks for taking us along with you to work! awesome!
Good stuff. I like these kinds of videos --like the one that you did like this at the last place that you worked. They're fun because, as diners, they allow us to see things from different perspectives. I've watched a lot of your videos, and with these I always find myself wondering more about the food and the menus than I do about you, which for these kinds of vlogs I think is a real achievement on your part. It's not really a personality vehicle, like Anthony Bourdain's programs ultimately were. It really is about celebrating the food and the work and talent that goes into making the dishes happen. And, at the same time, there is a human aspect to it (interacting with your co-workers, receiving shipments of product, etc.) that saves it from being just a process video. Really great balance of visual and narrative content. Thanks, Ryan!
Thanks! Im glad you enjoyed!!
I was a commis chef in a fairly prestigious restaurant for around 2 years working 10-14 hour shifts 5-6 days a week as a 16-18 year old 😂. This video gives me horrible flash backs to those groggy prep mornings before the mayhem of lunch and dinner service. What a thrill it was but never never again not a sustainable job for most people but miss is sometimes 😢
The handling of that dough is like Visual ASMR lol
whole vid asmr
This was so relaxing to watch
I need more of those videos they are perfect. Keep up the good work bro
Your skills are so diverse - another awesome video. Thank you I really genuinely enjoy the content you put out.
Sincerely, I always wondered. at the end, it sez, "Thanks for watching." The best I can say is, "Thanks for making these videos." I worked as personal in-home chef in households in the famous Thunder Bird Heights of Rancho Mirage. So, I have much appreciation for those who work in the hard-core food service industry. Thanks again for this vlog. Very well done. Superb editing of audio and video. It flows like a beautiful river by the light of the moon.
Ryan, oh my goodness that bread is everything 👑 I love your work ethic
Really love this kind of videos, keeps me motivated every time i work, even if I'm not in the food industry. You're incredible mate. 👌
Great job man! That's the thankless passion that is needed to be in this industry! You are showing what the love of the job means along with the pride put into every dish and the sense of accomplishment is the best feeling in the world!
That looks like a ton of work. Wow. But a lot of passion also, love it.
Absolutely love these videos man, love the rustic environment of this kitchen vs the last one and working in a legit farm to table restaurant with this level of execution has to be an amazing experience.
New vloger to watch ... 2022 is a must see
This is my 1st video watching so far so good
This brings me back, working in a kitchen is awesome...even in tight spaces you could always find a way to have fun and still get the job done in those grueling, hot hours. Also, love the Death Eater tattoo if thats what it is.
I worked my first job as a line cook in Vancouver at Commercial broadway, this brings back so many memories.
as a line cook, and being recommended this. Its always hard work, and never look down on a linecook because they know how its like to do the 12 hour sometimes even 16 hour overtime shifts in a hot stifling kitchen with sometimes zero breaks or rest.
Ryan: You're amazing. Will definitely visit next time I'm in Vancouver.
This was dope. Mad respect to you brother from one cook to another
This is so relaxing and asmr-ish. You work so hard. Kudos.
Dude you have such a quiet kitchen! Such an awesome video man!
I like the rectangle set-up for folding dough. I use dry, coarse salt in a small pile to seal during an 'autolese' step; the pressure dissolves the salt and then the salt reacts with amino acids before oils.
Thanks for sharing this.
From my perspective (as someone who isn't a great cook), it seems like you really have to *love* cooking to do it as a job all day long, at least 5 days a week. It looks labour-intensive and like it requires a lot of attention to detail. I appreciate the people who cook / bake well, so I can enjoy eating it. 😀
Very nice! Love the presentation the process from prep to service. Cool vibe as well.
Loved this, Ryan. Thank you.
It made me nostalgic except for being on my feet all day. Walking miles in an area no bigger than a bedroom. 😊
This type of video, very relaxing!!!!
This is awesome. 😍 thanks for sharing what a day looks like for you.
Hi Ryan thank you for sharing your work dinamic. You and Joe inspired me to keep on track with my professional life. Have a great weekend
i love being alone in the kitchen at the start of the day. it seems like i get more done in that time without outside distractions.
Ryan I enjoy hearing everything going on in the background as you film instead of playing music over it. It enhances the video for me. Keep it up 😊💛
LOVED this, Ryan!
You are an incredibly talented artist! The food you created was absolutely beautiful!
Brilliant work on the attention to detail, plating was on point and the menu looked great!! Looking forward to checking out more of your videos Chef
Love it! This open my eyes how hard work as a chef is, I’m studying in a culinary school right now and your videos make me feel more passionate about this cuz I love cook I love cook for someone else it will be hard but will be a pleasure
This was so relaxing and calming to watch 💓💓💓💓 wow the food you know how to cook is impressive!
You are talented with a gift and a passion kudos my friend!!!
