What's this Michelin Man all about? 

I am an engineering geek & am AMAZED of the process at the plant! Thanks so much for sharing that info. Very, very impressive! I have never heard of the capturing of the methane before for generating the power. And great to hear it’s water cooled and that that heated water from that process circulates to be used for radiation of heat. I did a process like this in my former home, had a wood burning furnace which heated my garage & (where I also had my laundry so the clothes dried as well)with coils of water circulating around it be warmed from the fire as part of my house’s radiator system. Pretty cheap heat!

Michelin guide was created at the beginning of the automobile to help the car owners to find garages where scarce. Telling the owners were to eat was also helpful and the rating system gave a good reason to use the car to taste the food (welcome to France, one country, if not the only country whose inhabitants when they meet and don’t know each other , talk about the food they had here or there 😂). It’s been quite a while that some street food vendors have had a star. I agree it can be a pain to wear a suit. But when the place is gorgeous, it’s nice that everybody dresses up. And as you said the food there is usually worth it. Among the very best you can experience. And if you haven’t tried it you really can’t have an opinion about it since it is so different from the best dish you can make yourself. Last… you like brasserie. Have you head of « bistronomie »? The light atmosphere of a brasserie or a bistrot but food prepared with high end restaurant techniques. You would love it.

Engineering geek as well. That is an impressive plant set up! Go Kilcoy! Great investment in sustainability. Merry Christmas all you legends and a Happy New Year!!!

Amazing set up at the processing plant - great for the company and the environment. Would love to see more 😊

Andy! Legend! Enjoy your time off! Peace and ❤ to you, your friends, family, team and loved ones!

Thanks for sharing the processes of the plant, that was fascinting!

Thanks for the VLOG! I'd love a tour of the processing plant, It's great to see how technology is being used in all industries.

That processing plant is an amazing set up. Thanks for sharing and giving an insight into what can be done.

Love a geek out. AD plants are great for places that can match their waste production to power requirements and pair with the CHP. Those other vertical tanks you pointed out (at 11:36) are carbon dioxide, guessing for refrigerant use.

Loving this channel mate! Super authentic. Merry Christmas to you guys

I can hear Duck the little lad

Incrediable! So smart. You are setting the focus for the future. Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays to your whole team. Love the variety you share. Looking forward to 2024. Love to see what we can from that plant to help understand the process.. Thanks from Minnesota.

👍🤪🥳🤪👍👍👍

The engineering is amazing! I'm no geek but I can recognize quality and thought that went into making that fully off grid. I would enjoy seeing whatever you can show of the plant and maybe you could talk to a few of the other ppl who work there. Those steaks looked amazing! Give my Marian stars to the chef. 😉🤣

Hey Andy I Love your channel, especially the video on Birra tacos.I worked in a restaurant in London in the early nineties it was the old Michilen building in South Ken which Terrence Conran renovated after being derelict, he had the stained glass windows of the Michelin man remade by the original glass company because they were removed during WW2 and subsequently lost.The restaurant was named after the Michelin man character Bibmendum. When I came across your channel and saw the Michelin man in the background I thought you might have worked there but I quickly realised you are far too young. ironically the restaurant had no Michelin stars but I loved cooking there it was the best experience of my career.

Fascinating. This channel is so personal. What a treat.

Big fan Andy. Hearing you describe your perfect restaurant, made me think of Les Arlots in Paris. If you have any favourite neighbourhood French bistro style places closer to home (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane) and would be willing to share that would be amazing!?

Andy can you tell us more about the bugle you have on the shelf behind you in your new kitchen?

Wow how amazing very admirable to hear about the plant, have you guys ever gone to Woodford & had a look at Lake Ghulka- a beautiful friend & also one of my clients designed & built the lake- google Waterscapes Australia & you will see it- All Natural. cheers Denise

Instead of ego, I’d sub in profile, because at 3* level it’s art right? As you said, it’s not a commercial exercise but an increase in profile leads to other sites (fat duck > Dinner > Hinds Head) publishing deals, tv appearances… Heston was MASSIVE on TV in early 2000s and chefs like Marcus Wareing, Tom Kerridge, Paul Ainsworth, Tom Aikens, Nathan Outlaw, Michael Caines, Sat Baines, were on every show going and most of them worked for Ramsey. And if it wasn’t him, it was Roux bros, or Raymond Blanc at one point or another! Mad times to be in a kitchen in the UK!

It's actually a really interesting case study from a business aspect, brothers Andre and Edouard Michelin needed sell more tires so they came out with the Michelin guide to make people drive more thus in turn increasing tyre sales

Would love to hear about the recipes for things your eat on the daily like the oats.

Hell yes to the plant tour

Fun fact.... the restaurant El Buli was named after a french bulldog which was owned by the couple who were the Landlords of ferran adria restaurant.

As much as we love what you do, you definitely deserve to put the camera down for the Xmas party. Enjoy your break guys. Looking forward to 2024 content.

Thanks for the explanation chef. Merry Christmas.

Loved this one, explaining the Michelin guide and the engineering staff about the plant. Keep ranting 😅

loving these vlogs

Would be really interested in hearing more about the processing plant; what a great set up! Oh and I would call it a money box, even if it isn’t technically a box 🤣 unless it is an actual jar, that is, then it is a money jar.

I love the comment I think the Michelin guy was a little stuffy! Keep the videos coming great work happy holidays!

I would say that Michelin Guide has the most weight here in EU, they lost there way with Guide Rogue, but they are for sure the high-end eating here, I been to most 1star in Gothenburg in Sweden, went to Maemo in Oslo, which has 3stars, but not been in 2.0 yet. But I for sure wear a shirt a jacket, depending on season for those, but I do come in blue jeans and not a suit nesc.

Looks interesting

It was to encourage people to drive around so they would sell more tyres

Are there any TV chef shows you like, e.g. Professional Masterchef? If there are what makes the cut for you?

The michelin man's name is Bibendum

I thought that was from the Michelin tire company. Looks like the Michelin man where guys would be in those puffed 'white wall' suits 😂. Merry Christmas Happy Holidays!!

Do a knife video chef.

Has andy done a video on how he does his oats?

The funny thing is that my first thought was that, Sammy Sweetheart gave it to you - who didn't know that. I obviously watch way too much of your content [insert facepalm].

A waste treatment plant. How bad does it smell?

How do you feel about Michelin giving their award to that Trans chef and HIS vegan restaurant, you think it was genuine or they did it for this whole alphabet woke movement, I feel like more deserving chefs got overlooked because they wanted to give it to a community that wants to be involved in everything, just my opinion haven’t tried its food so it could be “legit”
