The Ultimate Fancy Date Night Dinner (6 Ways) 

I love the dynamic of Josh doing fine dining date nights and Kate drooling over the thought of Olive Garden breadsticks

Kate saying she was going to pick Olive Garden was the best for how it hurt Josh to the core of his being. 🤣

Every time Kate appears, she says something that just shanks Josh right in the chefs pride and I love it. His face when she said olive garden killed me.

Kate is the definition of "just happy to be included/here" and I love it hahaha

This is probably some of the fanciest stuff we'll EVER see Papa cook, I swear. All of this is hypnotic.

I made 4 out of 6 dishes this weekend for my house warming "party" where we were 6 people. Here are some of my comments if you want to try to do them. Firstly, many of the ingredients, were a bit hard for me to find (live in Europe). I did order on amazon some of them. I did start looking for all the ingredients few weeks prior. So, take into an account that you need to pass by a big asian store to find everything, mexican store + for off season fruits/vegetables you need to do a local research for a store. Took me a lot of time. 1. The tangerine golden beet course - i liked it a lot. 5 out of 6 people enjoyed it. I think in the plate i put maybe too much "snow" and it would've worked with more golden beet+thai basil. The taste is very refreshing. The amount you get from the video, does serve 6 people. I still had snow and + golden beet at the end. The pickled golden beets are super super good. 2. Peanut mole - 5 out of 6 people liked it a lot. I was the one who didnt like it because it was super SPICY. I dont like spicy stuff in general, but go easy on the ancho chilies. I didnt expect the amount of spicyness. The miso sauce for the stems is fantastic. I didnt like the smell of it but it was sooo good. Very good recipe. I would definitely give 10/10 if it wasnt so spicy. At the end of plating, i still had a lot of peanut mole, used 2 broccolli, and i had way to much gremolata left over. You use less than 1/4 out of what you're making. One of the guests loved it so much, took all the peanut mole leftover to go. 3. Pork secreto - 6 out of 6 people LOVED it. It was indeed extremely good. I used goose fat, not duck fat or fat. I dont know if that was the reason, but my glaze was not a glaze. the fat didnt incorporate well, so i had a very liquid sauce. I made it on prep-day so on cooking day, took it out of the fridge, scoop the fat from the top and just use it as a liquid sauce on top of the meat. Even if i fjkdfnsfdk it up, the sauce did stay on meat and it was fantastic taste. I assume because it was liquid, i got a more quantity then needed. I used maybe 1/4 out of it. I had 860g of pork secreto + 2 pork chops. The black garlic sauce is extremely good. Very very very tasty. And yes, I had leftover from the sauce too. Because it's end of november, I didnt find anywhere peaches. So i used pears. It worked very well. 10/10 without a doubt. No meat left over, one guest loved the pears so much, they took home a jar with the sliced pear in the pickled sauce. I had a lot of compliments about this dish. They wanted more. 4. Pavlova - it's not the first time i make pavlova, but i think it was the best one i made. 10/10 perfect pavlova. BUT.... I made 6 big pavlovas and i still had so much left, for another 6 smaller ones. It's a lot of it. Don't go for 8 eggs... really... it's just way too much. it took so long to make the meringue and it was way too much. The cashew ...same, i have way too much left. You use a few grams of it to put on top and then you have a full bowl of cashew left. Same as the dried strawberries. He says to prepare 40g of dried strawberries and you use just half in the meringue... and then you sprinkle tiny bit on top. You get a lot of leftover toppings. Same as the pickled strawberries. Overall, it was a great choice. I am a beginner in the kitchen. not a total noob... so i didnt find the recipes to be super hard, but it does take a LOT of time to prepare. I served for lunch on sunday, with only plating time between each course. So, I started on friday night after work, to do some of the things that can stay longer in fridge or outside: cashew praline, gremolata, dry strawberry, pickle golden beets, jam. saturday i did the sauces and cut everything ready for plating: brocolli, peanutmole, glaze, pickle strawberries etc. Sunday: super in the morning i did the pavlova+cream, the brocolli stem sauce and grill the pork. PS. I did not grill on an outdoor BBQ. I did it indoor on a grill pan. Hope you try them as well! Have a lovely day! Cost: $$$ Time: between 2-4 hrs/per dish from cutting the veggies to end. Strawberry jam took more than expected.

Low key, I wouldn't complain if we got a 20-30 minute video from Papa every once in a while. I like that he kept the fast paced style that he's kinda become known for, but was able to apply that to a larger form video. It doesn't feel like information overload and you wouldn't believe you learned how to make a 6 course meal, all in 24 minutes. Really the best of both worlds here and even in the world of short form content, I feel like he's keeping everyones attention here. Quality content indeed! :)

The Olive Garden 🤣🤣🤣 Josh, I’ve been married for almost 29 years and have loved cooking even longer. Regardless of the dish I make, no matter how simple or complicated, my true love immediately dumps Tabasco all over it before trying it.😢 Best of fortunes to you both.😊

She's not going to lack when it comes to food 😂😂😂 Such a lucky woman

Josh, I really have to give you credit as a chef. This is the perfect example of cooking with love; for the ones you love. There were massive amounts of cooking techniques and these are technically complicated dishes; however, you're so skilled that you were able to demonstrate and take the intimidation factor out of them. Truly, I see why cooking at home doesn't give you the same tastes as restaurants. Only a certified chef could tell us how to cook, steep, and how long to maintain certain components as not to ruin their flavor and contribution to the overall dish. I loved the part where you ask her, "what do you know about tamerine", And, she said, "It's in this glaze.🤣🤣🤣🤣 The look on your face, that says, "that's why I love her". She only knows how to eat (and her palette favors sugary tastes).

The way you covered Kate from the camera was so precious. Loved this video. The dessert had my mouth watering.

Great for date night cooking, I learned a lot, thank you so much!

Josh :: " what would I do without you". This line melted me away❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Course 1 - 1:21 - Tangerine Golden Beet Thai Basil Course 2 - 3:24 - Chicken Skin Chips, Raclette Foam, Blackberry Jam Course 3 - 6:56 - Broccolini Peanut Mole Gremolata Course 4 - 11:56 - Hamachi Course 5 - 15:17 - Pork Secreto, Tamerind, Rose Peach, Black Garlic Jus Course 6 - 20:02 - Pavlova with Strawberries (Three Ways) In case anyone wanted to make at least one of these, because I ain't financially equipped and experienced enough to prep all this in one go.

I just learned so much 🙏👊❤️

Came for the culinary XP, stayed for the GMT Master II BLRO on Jubilee 👌

She looks so happy when they asked her which was her favorite and she went "Hamachi! :D", haha.

Love the fine dining content. It is what separates Josh from every other well produced cooking channel on RU-vid. It also really gives a glimpse into how versatile all ingredients can be.

Josh I’d love a date night cooking series!! Gives me good step by step references while being fancy at the same time 😂

I love the longer videos with extra meals to watch! You and your team do such a great job!

This is exactly why i watch josh, not because of the different recipes he does, nor the over the top things, its the simple tips and tricks that you can apply to any dish, he has helped me develop my abilities as a at home cook higher than if i were to just cook by my self

I absolutely LOVE these videos Josh. The pacing is slowed down so much and we get to see some amazing creativity. We NEED more videos like this. Seeing you cook all these "fancy" dishes is so hypnotizing

Loved this video. I know nobody is going to make these recipies , but seeing your fancy skills to the test is really hypnotizing. Keep them coming!

Dude the level of creativity behind these dishes is Insane! One can easily forget that he is a fine dinintg chef when only watching but better! ❤

6:34 describes my girlfriend and I to a freaking tee. I am the culinary school kid who tries to open her mind to new things(something I will be doing with my daughter when she grows up), but she'd honestly do McDonalds everyday if it wouldn't kill her. She prefers simple, and I prefer to do my culinary school thing

I was literally thinking about planning a date night this week! You're a lifesaver, Josh 👌

This is the video I've been wanting to see! I've searched so frequently for date night fine dining videos...there are a couple but they aren't good! Appreciate this!

I love seeing this complicated stuff this is perfect. Easy stuff is great but i love the interesting flavors and techniques in this

Josh: I'm not going to use anything too fancy Also Josh: So now you're going to whip out your handheld smoker and fill it with pieces of wood to give your dish a Smokey wood flavor Jesus Christ guys thanks for the thumbs up at my dumb joke, hope everyone is having a good day!

All I want to know about this video is where Josh gets his plates and bowls. They're beautiful and add so much eye appeal to the food.

I really like this video and would appreciate more of this kind every so often. It takes the intimidating factor off some of the fine dining dishes and also serves as inspiration

I'm taking my boyfriend to a pretty fancy Japanese restaurant for omakase for his birthday because he LOVES sushi, and I will find another special occasion to make the Hamachi dish for him. Thank you for the inspiration! Also, it's so nice to see how much Josh loves Kate - anything he does for her is so sweet.

Nice Josh, I love when you put your skills on full show like this! Please keep this type of content coming!

I make a pulled chicken Buffalo sandwich that my wife *loves*. The key is the crisped thigh skins slightly crumbled and sprinkled on. Adds that crunch and gives it proper wing flavor. Do it. I promise you. It’s the sandwich you’ve been missing.

Really enjoyed all the michelin esc cooking techniques you shared and simplified here. Definitely one of my favorites josh!

You're brilliant, Chef. I love cooking as a hobby, but your videos have taken my skills to the next level!

I feel like my partner would just be confused by the small portions, we sometimes make fun of this style of fine dining but I must admit it all looks very good and I'm keeping this in my back pocket (aka my cooking playlist)

Bro said “no tools”. I actually believed him😢

We need more of this on RU-vid, I’m sick of seeing quick and easy TikTok recipes dominating everything

If this isn't LOVE, I don't know what is. What amazing, inventive, and certainly delicious recipes! I love it when you pull out all the cheffy stops.

FIANCEE!!!! Congratulations you two

Josh, thank you so much for respecting Mexico and it’s proud people with how respectful you are with Mexican food as showcased with the molé today and every time you’ve cooked Mexican cuisine, you respect the traditions but are improving them to elevate the flavors. Thank you so much!

best episode yet papa josh! Thanks, I'll impress my mom on her birthday with a recipe or two!

Love it :) I hope Josh makes a Fancy Date night on a budget video next :) That would really help out us strugglers in the romance department too :)

Ive recently realised that Josh's channel is my all time favorite cooking channel on youtube. Ive been encouragec to try new things and think about how and why I cook the way I do

I love this video, wish he did more of these ones

More of this content please- I want to know how to be a fine dining chef without going to culinary school please ❤

Mad respect to Josh and the team, appreciate the ideas

i cant stress enough how good brocoli and peanut sauce work together. i can taste yours through the screen and itsssss amazing- what a beautiful layer of flavors to the brocoli goddamn

I was obsessed with this extra long video! Make more like this pleaseeee 🥹🫶

You’re the best, Josh! Great video and I love the interaction with you and Kate. Reminds me a lot of my relationship with my Noelle. We are lifers in the fine dining industry. ❤

I love your creativity. You always remind me cooking is worth it

Congrats on the engagement 🎉

You guys are adorable! Can’t wait for the wedding food video! 😋

I like how papa always show us easier option to prepare our food ❤ and love his interaction with Kate

just made the pavlova chantilly for my wife's Bday... first time ever making something this complicated but it's so beautiful. she's the master chef and baker between us. i have decided to give it a shot. Now that i have done it, i could prolly made it again, but better... :) thanks for the inspiration Mr. Weissman.

Congratulations, Joshua!!!!!!

19:52 That's the sweetest moment ever.

I'm loving this video. It teaches me something new and unique from your other videos.

absolutely love this, and love the effort you put in. Great work!

I'd love if you did more fancy datenight dishes videos Josh!!

That strawberry pavlova was devine. I will have to try that.

Yay I FINALLY got your book for my birthday and I just wanted to say that it's absolutely amazing and I can't wait to get it signed ( eventually) !

That's brilliant man, I appreciate what you're doing.

I love Kate, seriously -kid cuisine omg 😭😭😭😭😭 she's so real

Kate is awesome. You are awesome. Thanks for the great content! I hope I get to attempt even one of these recipes one day!

Brilliant recipes, and so good to see you two having so much fun!!💕💕💕

I just have got to say, I really like your videos. They’re really funny, I learn a lot, and I have definitely gotten better at clocking because of them. You have inspired me to try to make a lot of stuff that I thought was too scary

Some really top notch cooking. Looked fantastic. Now if I can just overcome my sheer laziness, maybe I too could cook and enjoy these recipes! (Never going to happen)

Kate is the definition of basic white girl but in the best way possible. Simple, uncomplicated, and friendly. She may not speak cuisine but she loves your cooking which is great. She's a keeper Josh 👍

I so relate to loving Texas Roadhouse, those rolls are top tier man

loved the video! thanks for doing some bourgie dishes. It´s something you can never see / find in cookingshows but you can learn so much from it!

Happy SO, happy life. Congrats on the engagement.

On the off chance Joshua does see this. PLEASEEEE could you do a Ramadan inspired videos for meals that are quick to quick in under an hour or ready for Suhoor? Or a recipe on Knafeh or Ali Nazek😁😁😁😁😁

Josh: no fancy tools Also josh: smoke gun link in description

I absolutely love all these ideas and recipes! Never knew you could buy Hamachi frozen online! Thank you!

I'd like more of these how to be a fine dining chef at home videos also could be a good cookbook 🤔

Absolutely knocking it out of the park on this one chef. Lovely stuff 👏

this is amazing please give us more insights into this side of cooking

All of these look amazing

This was so sweet!🥰 Josh definitely sets the bar to a whole new level. Well done! 👏

As a Kiwi and as such the expert on what is a pavlova, as we invented it. This is more of a meringue. Thanks. WE also leave them comfortably overnight routinely.

Josh! I missed you! For some reason you haven't been popping up on my feed, even though I'm subscribed. So glad to again see your chef-ing, along with your wit.

Hey Josh! Great video, loved it! One thing I would love is an indicater for the day the current step should happen. I have found myself confused in some video on when things should be done. It would help a lot once I'm for example standing in the kitchen already. Thanks!

Perfect video for the end of cuffing season. Thanks Papa.

Caught u in 7 seconds

This was a great tutorial and menu. Thank you so much!

Love these vids where Josh Full Flexes on us

Josh you should make an at home date night multiple course meal so we can impress our partner (or ourselves 😅) but still enjoy the at home restaurant experience properly 🤔🎉

Josh: "For the raclette foam soak a single sheet of gelatin in cold water" Also Josh: Soaks TWO sheets of gelatin in cold water

Best line by Josh ever at 19:56

I love the dishes and the new prep videos, but I think it would be really cool to make a video for people who need to eat large portions and 5 to 6 meals a day, lol. Doing strongman, you not only need to eat frequently but large portions. Would love to see that video!

It only required: 1 stand mixer 2 days of prep 3 handy containers 4 sauce pans 5 pans 6 large bowls 7 measuring cups 8 measuring spoons 9 small bowls 10 tai basil leaves 11 hours of work 120 ingredients 13 chicken thighs 14 5 gram portions of spices and 15 minutes of crying

This was dope! Going to make this…need to make room in the fridge to have space for all the prep. 😂 10/10. Def need more vids like this.

All of these dishes looked gorgeous and I’m sure they tasted amazing too

If I went to my local Piggly Wiggly and asked for half of these ingredients I'm pretty sure they'd kick the shit out of me.

You know she's just marrying josh for his sourdough bread..

Really fun vid, Josh and team! Love the video idea and that was so fun to see so many amazing dishes

though i'm years away from being able to afford to make these meals, there are several elements from this video that I'm excited to make in the near future. Thanks for the vid, I know many folks wanted this skill level in a video xx

Get yourself a nice protein shake, because you’re going to need to do some recovery after all that flexing.💪
