The Best Restaurant in the World (literally) 

But he's such a sweetheart, he softened me almost immediately. Us introverts take our time to open up but it's definitely worth the wait in the chef's case. I'm in love.

@@weasley2o13 yes I've seen him in other food documentaries and he's really nice! 🤍

Lmfao exactly. They didn’t know how to react 😅

I thought the waiter complained about Ollie

@@simguem6602 Pretty sure he did. Not wanting more redicule, the 5 sec strict look Massimo gave was enough for the entire diner to be taken more serious. Abt action and reaction I would say.

🤣🤣

i genuinely hope Mr Z see this 🤣

How is that so accurate 😂😂😂😂

I truly believe this is how it went down

I mean that in the most loving way possible. I mean we all know what happened at the first restaurant. 😬😂

After all, you don't become the most famous chef in the world leaving people hungry in your restaurant...

@@WexMajor82 True and also, Amiga rules!

​@WexMajor82 this is such a wholesome insightful and hilarious comment. Good reply, loved it.

Amazing

That was Makes him one of a kind 👍

He didn’t seem grumpy or stern lol ???

wrgggg

​@cyndolltia7713 not necessarily grumpy, but a bit more brisk, I feel like I could see him getting more animated throughout the video

he never said a word. what do you mean

​@@Hanji_soong I think the word you're looking for is Italian

🤣🤣

Not just a Head chef..ONE OF THE MOST RENOWNED CHEFS IN THE WORLD.

THAT WAS NOT JUST “BREAD” IT WAS THE MF “PANETTONE “ .

This is the proof that italians can cook anything and even not italian dishes better.

BRO y cant Say bread my italian soul its dying...😂

Good cop bad cop I'd say. Ollie's play as the bad cop is always amusing & entertaining. He's a quick thinker.

@@aschleon not just that. It’s more like a skill set where he ask the right question all the time

@@jiawei0917 told you, a quick thinker He is! It's a blessing to have Him as a partner in a broadcast or any other speaking-related lines of works.

I thought so too! It was like the first voluntary communication (from Jolly to Chef) and once he knew they were interested in talking to him, he seemed to open up 😅

One of the reasons why I love him 😭😭🙌

It is always appreciated when it comes to quality and expertise - silliness.

Not two minutes before I was thinking how worried I'd be for Ollie, too. And then he comes up with a question that made the Chef say he really understood their way of thinking 😂 Ollie is amazing.

Ollie isn't actually chaotic, he just likes to have fun; but he shows he has deep appreciation for art time and time again... but when josh least expects hahaha

I seriously thought when he entered that his wait staff had gone and told him that Ollie was disrespecting the food. Just the way he walked in and had that blank stare and asked "what's going on here" and even if you look at Mr.Z it looked like he felt like he was about to just start apologizing for Ollie.

@@davidstufflebean3285 Mr. Z saved that situation, I wouldn't have been surprised if they got kicked out for that

im sure that made the cameramen's day. making sure everyone is taken care of + charismatic personality + talent = likable and lovable person

One vid is all it takes. For me to be a fan of him💀💀

I was shook, and I don’t know nothing about fancy food.

He was not shook he said he even used to work for Massimo. He also didnt like all of his dishes, at the end of the day they are great chefs but still only men it is a mistake to deify them

you can tell he's a genuine artist with the most top notch of technical skill to back it up.

He didnt come out to yell at them for eating food weird…. Hes the head chef he does not care. Evenif it was some sort of rude thing, he wouldnt handle it personally

Same! I was holding my breath when he asked "What's going on here?"

Massimo Bottura is a really cool person. It has many side projects to provide food for people that can't afford it like the "Refettorio Ambrosiano" in collaboration with Caritas, and it has been a promoter of food efficiency, In the fight against food waste, he gives public seminars in which he explains how to apply simplicity and economy to cooking. His most important project is called "Food for Soul", an ONG that promotes these values.

He listened to understand. It is what we all must do in everyday life.

Tbh I think they were just trying to be nice to the chef. Watch them go to a random BBQ place in Texas their reactions actually seem genuine when saying something is good.

Honestly y'all Brits can't cook . Every thing is blant plain fish or plain potato boiled or fried boiled peas plain bread plain mayo even meat is blant just salt & grilled. Invent some dish spicy packed full of different flavors . I don't like blant food

@@tomjary9284 okay, where did this hostility come from? I'm British and I can cook better than the average person, also FYI, Gordon Ramsay is British, so is Marco Peirre White, two of the most famous chefs in the world. Also, you can't spell and your grammar sucks!

I felt lucky watching them be honored by his presence.

Even the guy that worked for him before didnt like all of his dishes. He is a great chef no doubt but he is still just a man

I admit I've rarely felt I was eating at a fine restaurant/dining, but your comment makes me yearn to go to Italy along with the fact that my father's parents were born near Naples.

He get very excited each time he came back to explain too. Truly genuine excitement expression like a little kid🔥

Me too!! I was like. Ok I’m dressed, I’m just sitting here. Wait I’m not even there. Ugh second hand panic.

Exactly!

I feel like they put them on the cellar like some harry potter's room in his aunts house to not disturb the restaurant ahahahah

@@chatshire3512 I mean that's exactly what they did. It's the world's best restaurant and they gave them the opportunity to film there whitout disturbing the experience of the other guests

in italia,si cambia cibo ogni 10km...ogni zona ha specialita'

@@chiarac980 rispondi in italiano ad un commento in inglese.... brava.

@@pijafinocchio conosco perfettamente l'inglese,ma e'utile un interscambio,essendo il video in Italia...secondo il mio parere.

@@chiarac980 video in Inglese, con persone che parlano Inglese ... rispondendo ad un commento scritto in inglese. Un po' Arrogante secondo me, specialmente se conosci perfettamente l'inglese, ma ogni uno e' libero di fare come vuole.

we have translator on youtube it is okay to answer in Italian hahha

Hello how are you friend

Where are you from

Massimo ha avviato anche diversi progetti per aiutare i poveri,con refettori e raccolte alimentari...

Massimo Bottura is one of the most famous chefs in Italy

Yeah, he struck me as less pretentious than a lot of famous European chefs I've seen interviews with. I mean it's still KIND OF pretentious but after a point that's just the nature of art, and he really has powerful food as art vibes.

@@idek7438 in the world

@@chiarac980 I read that in Jeremy Clarkson's voice

I literally thought they were about to get kicked out, lol!

Mr. Z's explanation of why they were there sounded like a plea to stay 😂

@@NaturalAegyo i felt bad for MR Z tbh XD i mean he loves jolly but omgggg ollie rlly had to be ollie

è il minimo sindacale

Making every guest full is a part of Italian food culture.

Mind you, his famous plate consist of literally 6 tortellini 🤣 But still. P.s. I am kidding, I mean, I'm not kidding, but I love Massimo. Whenever you bump into him he will greet you like you're his best friend. Once this happened while we were walking in front of his restaurant. He was outside talking with someone and we didn't engage in any way - we didn't even look (we are not "fans"). Still he called us for a casual greeting "Ciao ragazzi, buona giornata!". We greeted him back. One of my friends who had no idea who he was, was like "is that a friend of yours?" We were like "no, he's just the #1 chef in the world, but nevermind" 🫠

I love this Italian journey from you, I am so happy you like our country so much ❤

​@@SamanthaJackson He can cook a filling tortellini I promise

Me too XD I stopped breathing until Massimo left the room again lol!!!

yesss I feel you

i truly thought he'd been snitched on by the waiter

@@Em-xm3ss i still believe he did. Because he asked what was going on? and then it got more casual

@@beksl5411 100% that waiter snitched on them. he comes back after the risotto to see if they were probably "disrespecting the food" but eventually probably understood ollie's 1 time thing was a sincere mistake.

Lol I’ll just add… lololol I can’t believe what I just saw! The chef physically fed one of them like a child. I cannot contain my laughter, my admiration for the chef’s enthusiasm and my respect for him to allow a grown man to spoon feed him. Tears are welling under my eyelids right now. 😂

Its their culture. It's just how they roll

Yeah, other than making a job and being paid for cooking food, a chef or someone that cooks as profession have always the same objective: feed people. And by extension, if he cooks well, he makes others feel better. After a while you can see that people grows and behave better if they have their belly full and they are happy. Quality of civilization is based on the fact that we humans needs to satisfy our basic needs before doing everything else, or the result of our work will just be bad. Instead, once one have eaten something, that is also good and satisfying, then you can expect him to do good things. From the little ones to the biggest.

It was also said that God have a special place in heaven for chefs and comedians. The first ones feeds people, the second ones makes them laugh. And God loves these things. 😉👍

We Italians LOVE to cook and we want to share that with people. You come to my house, you won't go hungry lol!

The correct answer should have been YES!!!

the best comment ever

Thing is, the chef was definitely going to bite their heads off, but when Lord Z told him they were only visiting the best of the best on their trip, that saved it. Was a huge compliment/acknowledgement of the chef greatness.

You guys Think that the chef that IS also the owner of that restaurant didnt know a filming crew was présent in his restaurant and that all that wasent scripted 😂😂😂

@@user-el1vk4pn5n Shh. Let people enjoy the magic. But yeah Mr. Z said he used to work for this guy and the guy didn't even acknowledge him, so it was definitely planned.

Hope he feeds them more than he is feeding these guys!

@@phillyphan1225 🤣🤣🤣

I wouldn't pay more than 5 bucks for each of those appetizers of an appetizer

​@@chucks1781lol. I wouldn't too. I'm too broke. But honestly all looks amazing

That's just your opinion

Hy Becky how are you

@@kirimvtf They usually eat after they finished shooting. And I don't think Chef would have let them leave hungry. :D

Italian granny style 100%

Yes as an Italian myself, I can tell you everything you hear about Italians wanting to feed everyone is true lol

@@cristinaxo except this is a 3 star restaurant where tortellini can cost more than 300€…

This also counts for most chefs all over the world, if i feed 3/4 people at a table and the 4th is not eating, hes eating for free if he likes to

You should try to recreate the meal but with Ollie’s comparisons 😂

Never was i more jealous. I wanna meet this man, he is so inspiring!

I wonder if Ollie dipping that bread and “breaking the rules” almost peaked his interest because of the childish and innovative way Ollie perceived the process of eating. A pioneer of bread wetting if you you will😂

@@jo7dyn273 wow I never thought of that

Bruh Chef Botture didn't come out because of that

@@lucacasiraghi3811 I’m a lady, bruh. And his last name is Bottura. Why did he come out then?

Interesting

Osteria Francescana non Refettorio Ambrosiano 😭😭😭

@@ziarua999 L'Osteria Francescana è il suo ristorante, il Reffettorio Ambrosiano è un iniziativa nata nel 2015, con la Caritas, per offrire gratis cibo a persone meno agiate.

its all good and nice until he brings out the veggies in thick plastic bags and I can just imagine the kitchen fridge FULL of plastic bags like that...I genuinely don't know just how environmentally friendly it is in reality

@@mushroom4rain probabilmente hai capito male

I had the same thought!!! Kindred spirits meeting in Italy

And don't forget Josh putting on weird Italian broken english at the end 😂

Ugh same. They make me want to book a flight to Italy 😅

I have to agree. Your team produces one of the best channels in my experience. I love how, while "KE" focuses on one culture, while "Jolly" continues to broaden the experience. I can't wait until they intersect in South Korea (X-Over?).

Aye 😊

He literally makes the show

Aww, Thanks nan.

Ollie is #1

he treads fine line between comedic relief and insanely well prepared homework

The waiter was clearly appalled.

@@heather2493 girl chill what the hell

@@heather2493 Come on... I would have also been a little miffed if I saw that. Anyone who has ever worked in hospitality understands him.

@@heather2493 None you know is neither rich nor of high status that have ever been to a really high end restaurant. Sooo.. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by saying this.

😂😂😂😂

of course he was, its basic italian hospitality.

Although it's tipical Italian hospitality still it shows the pasión and character of such a renowned character

Yes he was. No one should just have to watch others eating.

I think Massimo is like anyone else and likes to let his hair down a bit now and again. And in this case, he chose to have fun rather than be stuffy and elite.

Yeah I think he was. Almost 4 years ago I was playing in a little orchestra in a ceremony dinner where Bottura and his crew was invited to cook. The organizers though didn't thought about sharing the same dinner with us musicians but instead offered us only some sandwiches. Bottura saw that and saw that we were kinda disappointed by the different treatment we had received, and he proceeded to give us some of his plates throughout the dinner. He had been so humble and generous.

siiiiii il "ciao vecchio" mi ha fatto scompisciare

Yes, however if Mr Z. wasn't there to save the day he probably would not have been able to ask that question. I feel Ollie just barely escaped the chefs wrath.

It's actually sort of propaganda. Massimo doesn't even have a Bocuse d'Or. Denmark is at #1 and has been for some years on and off, but also has the most distinguished chefs in the world. So you could say this video is pretty inaccurate. Shame

Oh, I should mention that my point was that Italy doesn't even have a spot in top 3. It is held by France, Nordway and Denmark

@@bictur well yea, I knew that the restaurant itself wasn’t actually best in the world. Noma and Geranium both exist, and even Spain and Peru are it be top 10 while Lido 84 is the highest ranked Italian restaurant and its run by the Camanini’s. That said, it doesn’t take away from the impact and talent of Bottura, and Osteria was named best in the world twice in recent times (2016 & 2018)

I smile each time Chef comes in and is so giddy that they truly appreciate and want to have an experience with his food.

I had something kinda like this once, but not at this level. We used to be close with the singer from a band and he started a new band. They had just recorded a new album and it was still on DAT, not yet pressed to a CD. He invited us over and explained each song for us before playing them. We were the first people outside the band to hear the songs. That was a special moment, and I felt like I relived it watching this video. BTW the new band never went anywhere, but still.

A truly beautiful mind. Any time I see Massimo I click. His content with Action Bronson is legendary.

Well Said ❤❤❤❤

. If you notice he does that with white wine but when the chef walks in they have a red wine glass in front of them. So that probably means they fixed it with the waiter or it was no big deal and it was edited in a way to make us extra nervous 😂😂

As a non Italian, it was not clear to me what he meant here until I read your comment. I have a completely different understanding of what he means now, very beautiful message, thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing Alessia. I experienced a similar struggle as a Canadian all my life. I visited a lot of places in Italy in my life, from Milan to Palermo, and for me Italy will always remain one of the most beautiful countries in the world, because of how proud of who you are and of your culture, and how incredibly capable and creative you are at making so many great things. I think I have visited Italy enough to understand what you're saying though. Of course there are differences between the north and the south, it's palpable even as a tourist. The way you expressed it is just absolutely amazing. You really seem to have a truly beautiful heart Alessia. I'm profoundly happy that you guys elected that fabulous woman from Rome a couple of weeks ago. I truly think Giorgia Meloni is the proper person to unite your beautiful and strong country back to what it should be. She seems to be a diamond in the rough. I can only dream of having such a great prime minister, unfortunately we have the most corrupt crime minister our country has ever been plagued with, but so many of us still have high hopes we will also be able to have our Giorgia very soon. Take care and never stop believing in your beautiful culture, despite all these toxic globalist evil threats that only exist to render all of us generic powerless slaves. I have the greatest respect and admiration for you Italians. Never stop being so beautiful and passionate, you are the example we should all follow.

His spiel about the almonds and the tomatoes and the farmers and fisherman made me tear up as well. Massimo seems like such a cool guy, I would love to taste his food .

Sooooorm ❤️

🇮🇹👏👍💪

Kind of feel Josh ruined that moment for them. When someone like Massimo offers you a plate of tortellini, you do not turn that down! Even if they are eating after. You absorb everything you can from a once on a life time opportunity. You also don't turn down food offered to you by a chef, especially one of Massimo's calibre.

i feel the same way too. i've been following their content since few years ago just a little while before the pandemic hits, and i've got to say at first i genuinely thought that josh is the more sensible person while ollie is in charge of making the video entertaining for us viewers. however after a while i started to notice what u said and it hits me that it might be ollie that actually cares more about commenting on the food while josh just.. say everything is the best and feels very scripted even though he's being genuine about it

Bruh what u talking about, bottura always visits every table in his restaurant and talks to his clients

@@sranon5763 I never said he didn’t. I was referring to the expression on his face and what he said when he entered.

Same for me!

Io invece sono nato nel paese sbagliato :(

I've heard about this division in Italy a lot lately and I thought it was just regional pride, but it sounds very discriminative and traumatic.

Amen...soooo many ungrateful complaining Italians don't know how good they have it.

@@primrosed2338 it kinda is but its not that tragic, people really love their region and defend it in every single way, thats usually create a discussion but most of the time ends there. You can finally a lot of people from the south in the north and viceversa, only dumb people spread hate and those are just idiot not italians

Gabbie is going to freak out.

@@davidstufflebean3285 I'm sure she did! He probably called her right after like - baby, you'll never guess what happened... 🍝
