agreed first time i had it was at a kinda hole in the wall place in chicago, around uptown. That duck was fucking amazing. Plus all the extra stuff that comes with it are always great as well. Fuck now i really want some peking duck.
Reinaldo Pessoa this isnt a live show for 1. Second this is why you kids need to learn about tv production and also talkin out your ass before actually knowing something to be fact lol.
Everyone commenting about the price... It's new york. They can charge 400$ for a duck and still get customers. 85$ isn't even a days worth of rent for most people. one of those ducks looks like it can feed 3-4 people, the way it's served with wraps and vegetables. That's 21$ per person for a high quality restaurant meal. If you don't have that money, don't go out for dinner to a restaurant.
As a New Yorker myself, I tend to agree, $21 per person is completely reasonable for a meal, but the $9 bottle of Tsingtao made me laugh. What a ripoff.
Also, there's some serious specialist technique on display there. They're getting these ducks from a solid butcher, preparing them with air pressure, the vinegar/sugar mixture, and look at those ovens. None of that equipment is kitchen standard, nor is the attention to detail from someone aiming to make a dish properly, with some interesting additions (like all the sauces at the end). I know I sound like a shill, but fuck I love good duck.
you're justifying an overpriced meal. grilled pork with rice 32.5? sauteed lobster, egg, and chopped pork 48.95? the guy in the video says he's just doing what he would do at home. you're overpaying because overpaying for food is a culture to dumb people
Nah I think that's bullshit to be honest. People also want access to good food at a reasonable price, not everyone's earning wall street money. I won't be able to eat in a restaurant like this one for another 10 years I'd say, depending on contract and mortgage. Gonna have to stick to the street food duck vendor in my city till then!
Peking duck is such a great delicacy. It's great sharing and talking about life with families. Can't wait to eat this badboy on Thanksgiving with the turkey.
Peking Duck is amazing. I highly recommend to everyone. This guy is from Hong Kong, he knows how to make amazing Peking Duck, Hong Kong is a great place with amazing food.
My sister has a degree in culinary arts and she prepared some Peking duck for our family with a few different plum sauces and they went really well with the duck
It'd be great to see FWF do anything that isn't in New York, LA, or London. I know they don't exactly have Buzz Feed money, but getting Sean and the Food Skills team on the road once in a while to other places would be awesome. I mean, there's a world outside of New York. There's Kansas City barbeque. There's northwestern fish weirdness like gooey duck. There's literal tex-mex. Hell, you could go outside of London in the UK and do some shit with black pudding and the art of a good fry-up.
It's been a long time since i've had Peking Duck. It is one of the most delicious foods on the planet. It's a little less expensive down here in Texas but I haven't seen anybody doing any preparations this innovative. It's all pretty traditional down here. That being said if you have never tried it and you have a chance, do it!
There was a restaurant in Everett, Washington on Mukilteo boulevard in 1981 called Peking Duck. Its the only time I have eaten duck and it was amazing... For decades after, I could still conjure up the taste in my mouth. When I moved back out here in 1988... t had already closed.
Real asian food is something ill always pride myself on loving and will always try because sometimes no matter how odd it is it will probably be one of the most enlightening foods you will ever have
I'd like to see more places from around the country, not just the northeast coast. I'm in STL and will probably never go to NY. I'd like to see places closer to where I am.
Thank god for REAL Chinese food getting some love. Spread the knowledge....so sick of customers coming here to China and looking for Orange Chicken smh
Southern China roast duck for sure. From the video it's nothing like Peking duck at all. it's like you put a supermarket salmon on a rice ball and call it Tokyo style sushi... it looks similar, but it's completely different food.....
They aren't for the guy's english. They're for deaf people or people learning english and struggle understanding accented speaking. Correcting someone's speech isn't why subtitles exist.
I wanna try Duck, but not sure how I would like it. Anybody else had a fear of Duck and tried it? (Peking or any other variation) What does it really taste like? I'm a simple man, I like meat and potatoes, so duck/lamp/goat are something I haven't tried yet.
Try it in many ways even if your first try wasn't great, it's the same for many foods out there, it's a matter of how it's prepared. ie you might not like raw carrot but like it mashed with potato or sweed. If you like sweet things, try hoisin with duck, if you like spicy try it prepared with salt and dried chilli. It's like someone saying they don't like roast chicken but they like it at nando's. The way something is prepared changes how it tastes, but the core flavor of the meat is always there and should work with the spices/preparations.
"...they don't feel bored." LOL moment for me. Peking duck is my most favorite ever food. This was a painful vid to watch, too much goodness and now I am starving.
okok I don't sound like an ass but this is not conventional traditional Beijing duck. From it's cutting skills and sauces they use, it is more like a Cantonese style Beijing duck. I am not saying Cantonese duck is not good, those people are the king of roasting bird. But it just feel not right, for comparison, it is like eating Miami style Philly cheese steak .
ive always found itso weird that so many different chefs always say that people wouldnt buy traditional cooking from them so they had to adapt, i just cant wrap my head around the idea that peoplego to an ''ethnic'' restaurant and then complain about what they can buy and how it doesnt fit their taste. like just do some research before going, how hard is that?
