How a Master Chef Runs a 2 Michelin Star Nordic Restaurant in Brooklyn - Mise En Place 

Yes it should!

@@markus65520 nope!

Depends whos foot

Two schools of thought. A) Honour the ingredient by keeping it in its natural shape as much as possible. B) If you can't eat it, don't put it on the plate.

@@lefthandright01 Who says you can't eat it?

Yeah very strange. It started by people using Michelin maps to go around new countries they have never been asking also to places to eat. Then the restaurant guide happen

Wow I didn't even know they were the same company. That's crazy

@Arwydd Hays novelty? 1926

This just ruined my night...

@Arwydd Hays I don't think so at all but to each their own. The century of legacy speaks more to me than some god chefs considering they are the ones that hand out the stars to the god chefs. It is positioned above any individual chef which adds to the pretigeous nature of it.

"line"

That’s called a true entrepreneur as opposed to a lifestyle entrepreneur. One builds an empire and often is called a sociopath because they let nothing get in the way of their vision. Lifestyles build wealth to support their fantasies. The former is extremely rare, which is why it’s so fascinating.

@Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera lol

@Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera So you suppose you are better at preparing meat than a Michellin star chef?

​@Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera if the birds had salmonella disease, the supplier company would be accused first. I don't think he doesn't choose a qualified supplier.

And copious amounts of truffles 🤣🤣

They actually do serve a copious amount of caviar here. About half the courses feature it.

Well, I ate at a one-star Michelin restaurant a few years back and there wasn't one single dish with caviar and not even a whiff of truffles. It was still absolutely heavenly. I don't know if it's more a feature in the American Michelin-starred places they feature on this channel or what.

@@avalen767 Oh interesting. What style of food was the restaurant?

@@kevinchan3668 It was a fairly long time ago, but it was Nordic-influenced French haute cuisine. Fairly typical fancy Michelin faire, just no caviar or truffles.

@Margaret Kpeh The king crab was intended to replace the scallops, but then he decided instead it would be used as a meat substitute for diners requiring or requesting a pescatarian alternative. This pheasant dish might indeed be replaced by the crab! As he said, an onion can be just as valuable as a piece of fish or meat! I think his philosophy is something we should aspire to. Meat and fish have their place, for too long they've ruled the plate, de facto.

To be fair, that's probably the most painless and humane way to kill them, but I still loled at that bit.

@@JiaRuAu The more humane way to do it is to freeze kill it. Gradually decreasing the temperature of the water until it dies. They usually tell people that putting a knife to its head is "humane" but its only the most effective without having too much trouble.

I'm just looking at all that delicate plating, like: um...what? There should be a Michelin Star system in place that sets a maximum plating time of 5 minutes. Just to see how other more realistic companies do. If it takes longer than that. Something is wrong. The Michelin system wasn't intending to get that far in artistic prep requirement, but it did anyways. It leaves no room for other fantastic places that are deemed less quality because don't see plating as a main priority. I think the best restaurant to eat at would be the equivalent of a -3 Star restaurant. Just a couple notches below an official rating. Similar style but not that prestige baggage and stress that comes with it, to maintain that star.

@@HiSpeedOxygen It's never relaxing, but it can be very rewarding, especially when you pull off a good night despite an issue like the scallops. It can be a very hellish, or very fulfilling field depending on who you're with and what you're doing.

While I agree that it did indeed look like a relaxed and good work environment; it's not hard to act this way on camera if they drop by once. I'm sure that there will be very stressful and more negative days; however at the end of the day, they get fulfilment out of creating amazing food.

@@steve88luv well i think the "rich" can buy a lot food if they want but they want quality over quantity just because they can

No sense at all. I love tasty food, which is why I want a full size dinner plate FULL.

I’ll try to explain as best as I can. See, these Michelin starred restaurants are very different from most of your favorites. For one thing, you have a higher chance of getting struck by lightning than to eat as a walk-in at one these restaurants; the reason behind that is many of the ingredients these chefs use are some of the most expensive, high-maintenance, and rare in the world, and that’s without taking into account the sheer amount of customer these restaurants get. In order to eat in one of these, you would need to make reservations months, if not years in advance. Now, why do chefs charge such ridiculous for such small amounts of food? Like I said, most of these ingredients are ridiculously expensive, and the amount of clientele they have to serve is extremely high, meaning that the costs of operations huge. Another thing to consider is that in these restaurants, you will be served multiple small dishes(in that specific restaurant, it’s 14 dishes), each requiring a specific preparation and plating. Why not one huge dish instead of so many small ones? Depending on the restaurant, this may be the case but the only one I know of is “Alinea” in Chicago. What’s this experience that a lot of people talk about? Have you ever visited a country a felt astonished by the beauty, culture, or history behind it? Have you ever read an eye-opening book that had left a tremendous impact in you? Have you ever seen a sight of nature you can’t help but stare at it in amazement? Chefs of these really high-end restaurants are trying to get you to have a similar experience through the medium of food; how they decide to go about this is entirely up to them.

Rich people eat really tasty, expensive food all the time. So the only way they can have something 'special' is to pay an OCD chef to very carefully make scallop heart tartare.

Not only that. its only a spoonful meal and you pay a couple of hundred bucks for this

@@emjilarson7372 It's a 14 course meal for a couple hundred bucks, not just one. By the end of 14 courses you are left feeling very full.

@@beerman7410 30 dishes wtf no one has ever served 30 dishes in the history of dishes

These restaurants are not for stuffing your face, they're for experiencing and enjoying the many different flavors of different dishes. I think a lot of people don't realise that when they see these portion sizes.

Legit

Lul

If it doesn't suit the menu and the taste is off people will notice these kinds of things. In a tasting menu everything has to have cohesion you don't just serve something to serve something that dish flows with the dining course. The onion and nuts is an onion soup it doesn't overpower the other courses and it doesn't take away from the other course hence the symmetry which is why they served it.

@Willian Liandra so basically just toss a whole bunch of nothing and call it food. You clearly have never eaten at any fine dining or Michelin starred restaurants. If the dining experience is poor you don't get to keep your stars you lose them and you're judged constantly secretly by inspectors. When your budget is 500-1000 dollars per dinner you expect to eat something amazing not something someone threw onto a plate and called it food.

@Willian Liandra tru
