That chef was fantastic. Something I've noticed with other places the Bacons have dined, the chef is so busy with the theatrics that the food overcooked, especially the fish and seafood. This chef is all about the food and not the performance, a true professional. ❤
I have been watching these videos for 5 years now, each and every video sparks curiosity and joy in my heart. I appreciate the bacons community so much.
Totally agree! I started with their cruise videos and never stopped! They actually inspired me to make my own Hawaii based food and fun channel! I only have 700 subs, so I'm trying to work harder and harder to earn those subscribers. But the process is enjoyable and my only regret at the moment is I wish I had more time to make more videos. (Still work a 40 hr week and got littles to look afterwards) I saved and just bought a new Insta360 so I can make videos in HD!
I started about 4 years ago during my cancer recovery. I was pretty couch locked for almost 8 months and got addicted to RU-vid. Lol Dancing bacons was one of the first ones I found. As as odd as it seems watching others eat yummy foods when I couldn't was actually comforting instead of torturous 😅
The chef was amazing. He was all about the food.. no craziness or dramatic effects. Just pure talent. Putting out a beautifully cooked meal. Perfection.
I started watching your channel in 2020 when I was feeling so overwhelmed I couldnt sleep. Your videos are now part of my nightly routine. I always watch the newest one first so I can actually watch the whole thing before I fall asleep. Thanks for all the videos!!
The simplicity in the meal is the absolute key. No unnecessary sauces, no flourishes, no waste. It's rare I watch one of these videos and think to myself- wow I'd eat every single bite of that. Very worth the price just to see such an amazing chef at work.
i have chrysanthemum greens (the vegetable at 3:33) growing in my garden - they're delicious and so easy to cultivate! the flowers are really pretty too, i let them go to seed each year and they keep growing back
I enjoy so much learning of Asian culture. I've always wanted to travel there. But, like so many in the US, it's beyond affordable means. Thank you so very much for bringing it directly to us so that we may enjoy as well. It's always amazing!
I, absolutely, love your content! It is no exaggeration to say that discovering your channel is a gift to me, since Japanese culture & cuisine have always had a very special place in my ❤️. Amazing, truly amazing work. Well done.
😍Wow! What a delectable-looking meal! That steak is gorgeous and it seems like they were generous with the amount. In some of your other videos it seems like they give you a tiny amount of wagyu. That's really neat the you were served by a chef who's been doing that for so long. And thank you for showing us the original Teppanyaki location along with how/when it got started. 🙏
What a skiled chef. Makes it look so easy. Everything is so neat and tidy. One thing I have noticed about these types of restaurants is that dessert is always very simple, usually some fruit. Is that specific to Japan?
I do know that in Japan, considering the location and climate, good-quality fruit is a delicacy and therefore often given as a luxury gift or eaten as a special treat. Hope this helps :-)
Greetings from Austria. Love the content you make watch it for years... whenever my wife sees it, she says "ohh its the nodding gal." Thanks for all the excitement.
Chef Sakai definitely knew his stuff, and cooking with every last bit of everything is a wonderful sight to behold. Efficient, high quality, and tasty is a great combination. Someday, Japan, I shall return to your lovely shores!
*TLDR: how/when our first teppanyaki place opened and effected the area. It’s a happy recollection* 😊 In my little neck of the woods we have an teppanyaki restaurant that’s celebrating their 50th anniversary this year!! 😊 Now, for my geographic area that is something to be very proud of. For a bit of a reference, we didn’t get a Taco Bell until 1990…so you see it’s a very small community and quite “stuck in its ways”. In 1973 Kampai, Japanese Teppanyaki opened up and people came from all over the region. I’m in a small area in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania and our most local city area is actually located in upstate New York.. we’re on the border of both PA & NY. So, the restaurant is located about 40 mins from my home. This isn’t a big issue in this area…I mean, the closest McDonald’s is 30 mins away and our first Chinese take out didn’t open until the 90’s. So we’re used to traveling a bit to get anywhere. As well as having limited options for eating out. And…no one delivers. You have to go and pick your food up if you want take out. So when Kampai opened no one was sure it would even last, as the only options at that time were Italian-American offerings and McDonald’s. But it made quite an impression and 50 years later they’re still going strong. The restaurant books mostly by reservation and is only opened for dinner service. They did add a bar area in the 90’s for walk in customers who want to order off their limited “light fare & sushi bar” menu. If you have a group that wants to do lunch service you can still book the restaurant, but there is no walk in service for lunch. My first time eating at Kampai was when I was 6yrs old. My grade 1 teacher was pregnant and leaving for maternity break so her bff/one of the other grade 1 teachers put the field trip together for all of the grade 1 students, teachers and any parents that wanted to attend. It was to celebrate her pregnancy and a farewell party all in one. I ate things that day that I’d never even heard of in my young life. It was so delicious… it left quite an impression on me and it was the start of my love of trying new foods as well as my love of cooking and learning about other cultures through their diet and customs. That day jump started my next 20 years. I ended up working in many kitchens as well as attending culinary school. It’s crazy how we can sometimes pinpoint an exact moment that changed our lives forever. For me that moment was the first time I tasted oyster sauce, at 6yrs old, sitting on the floor of a Japanese restaurant… celebrating my teachers happiness. And so, it’s still my favorite restaurant of all time. ❤ Thank you DB for sharing your experiences and reminding us of special/happy times. I absolutely love all of your content and look forward to every video that you produce. ✌🏻🥰😊
@@xavlue so you read my comment and that is all you got out of it…that I liked the food? You’re none too bright, are you? I made another comment, but apparently it was removed. So…I’ll say again but in a nicer, RU-vid friendly way. Frack off. ✌🏻😊
Salutations from America Ma'am and Sir; you produce very fine content. I just love virtually eating with both of you. Ma'am, your whole face lights up when you consume something delicious and makes me smile each and every time... Thank you for taking me along for the ride, job very well done!! I look forwards to many more years of episodes to watch...
Wow! Very polite comment, I do agree I love these different foods and how there being handled with care they look so yummy! I’m glad it makes you happy watching them eat together it’s already so interesting seeing these comments! ❤️
Chef Sakai is as enjoyable to watch as a lot of the showier teppanyaki chefs. His economy of movement and focus on food over flash demonstrates his wealth of experience, you know this man is excellent at what he does just by watching him.
Oh you guys that meal! I had trouble keeping my knees from buckling on then 26th floor of a high rise. I could not do 51. Ooh. You guys are such a cute couple. Love her reactions to the food. Can't wait to see where you guys go next.
i only cook steak when i find some i like on sale, i like the idea of all the veggies and pickles and sauces to compliment the rich flavor a good homemade version is worcestershre sauce and roast bell peppers, potatoes, zucchini and such if there were a fancy pizza restaurant like this i would try it aha
Chef Sakai. is awesome. Hes like superman at the grill. I wish I could go to Japan just to eat there and let him cook for me. I would leave him a big tip ,he is so worth it! Made me so hungry just watching him cook.
Never never never tip in Japan. It would be considered a great insult. As if to say “I pity you and feel sorry for you”. They do not have tipping culture and frown upon it. Most places in the world don’t have tipping. I know your heart is in the right place, so the best way to show appreciation is to eat the entire meal and tell the chef how amazing the food tastes.
