  • This was the craziest restaurant experience I've ever had and I've been to some absolutely insane places in the past.
    Check out the restaurant here: koks.fo/
    And also do make sure you go to Greenland at some point in your life because it's truly a special place ❤️

    If Julian Slowik taught me anything, it’s that you NEVER go to a secluded restaurant in the middle of nowhere by boat to a place ran by a highly methodical brilliant chef.

      Yeah. I mean $600 for fine dining in one of the remotest places on earth is not too bad. I mean, even if they use Greenlandic ingredients they still have to ship them to the restaurant.

    This video and the restaurant in general give off strong "The Menu" movie vibes. I wouldn't even be surprised if they killed all the customers off at the end and used them as ingredients for the next meal. 🎥🔪🍔

    • @Hollis_has_questions
      @Hollis_has_questions 8 місяців тому +41

      Why would they do that? The customers are not part of the local terroir. I'd rather have reindeer blood and whale blubber than tourist blood and blubber.

      @aryangoyal9556 I also came to make The Menu reference, but what makes this horror film unique is that it does not resort to cannibalism, and that is why it is a great subversion.

    The food started in the boat before reaching a remote town of 50; it gave me The Menu vibe. I hope they don't have a secret menu with a course called The Mess or Tyler's Bullshit because that wing dish reminded me of Julian Slowik's angel investor.

      ​​@@redeye1016There are definitely superficial similarities, so one can be forgiven for making the comparison. However, the food here isn't served with the level of contempt for the diner that The Menu parodied. It's playful and has "weird" ingredients but it's more tasteful and down to Earth than some of the weird shit you see in these restaurants.

We sailed back to Ilulissat in the evening, rough seas, weaving past massive icebergs, just epic. Great video, you really captured the essence of the place!
