i have never shown up to a Will Neff stream before while it was live. but if he did a IRL stream for 7 hours at this restaurant. i would 100% be there the whole 7 hours. that would be such gold content
Rather than put money into cleaning the oceans and money into pushing for stricter sustainable fishing laws they say "give us $1000 to be told how awful things are."
@@Altmetalpunk yes, and i said those ppl wouldnt have givent that 2k to those charities, would just have paid for another kind of experience or left it at the bank
Okay can I just be frank? 50 courses for $1000 is actually kind of a good price, especially for 7 hours. Yes it's a lot, but for the effort and the experience and comparing that to other fine dining where meals can be $250 for usually under 10 courses it's not bad at all. The problem is "do I want 50 courses?" Seems like a fun thing to do once.
Ok after watching I personally don't like a lot of the aesthetics of this particular restaurant, but I've been to a lot of Michelin Star restaurants that's I've enjoyed that aren't so performance art of pretentious. There's a lot of good places that make unique looking food that looks pleasing and tastes good without having to deal with random morals shoved down your throat.
this is a crazy restaurant LMAO what the actual hell. oh my god im crying at the blood dessert being too grim but ending on a child labor chocolate bar
As a joy of food guy who holds onto concept of universal connection thru food. A Sandwich lover, published art and food critic.. Gotta say: the Alchemist appears to be an event space, not a restaurant...the food used as art pieces, social and political commentary. $1k likely is cheap, if you consider what 7 hours of upscale Japanese dining might cost. Was it pretentious? Seemed so. Glad to know what to expect, if invited to the Alchemist. Ty for posting. Your reactions were hilarious. The kid is so sweet, attractive, naive. I sort of fear for him inrl. He lacks common sense.
Imagine showing up to the restaurant dressed in rags, not having showered for days and being like "it's a commentary on how some people cannot always afford food"
Have been here, probably the best restaurant I've ever been to. Its not half as experimental in terms of flavours you get across 90% of courses as it looks, also very self aware and the staff are good at keeping the mood light.
I don’t know, I like a lot of music that my parents considered pretentious. In reality it’s just like big thief or something. I think some things should be allowed to push boundaries a bit or have a niche and that’s always going to not be universally loved by everyone.
Ngl 1k for 50 course and 7 hours is not that bad, it's not cheap nor is it affordable, but it's definitely not bad, like salt baes restaurant is 5x that
For me food is more about the versatility, and endless possibilities. This restaurant seems to me should not be thought of as such, but as an experience, or a work of art, that utilises food to do as such. The food must be good too tho ig they want to give the experience with the food- that being said, £1000 is a wild amount of money, and almost all of the time u gonna be craving that pizza slice way more than the food there, but they shouldn't be compared in the same category imo, ones an incredibly expensive 7 hour experience, the other is satisfying, universal, tasty, and comforting meal :)
Not gonna lie if I’m wanting a great meal ima stick with those slightly better than normal pizza or burger places. You know the ones where a burgers like £15 instead of £9, but that burgers fucking oozing with like bbq sauce and pulled pork and shit. Delicious Or like a proper Italian pizza, that shit is amazing Heck even forget everything I just said, gimme a couple pints and send me off to some £2 food van, now that’s a profound experience
I’m fucking screaming this whole video man. It’s so pretentious, so contradictory. Really think about the people who can spend $1000 and 7 hours on food and whether or not they would ever give a shit about the social commentary.
The whole "free the seas from plastic waste, now eat this sea creature" and "we just freed this chicken from the cage and now we gotta eat it"... like we dont just keep animals in cages for the hell of it, it's because we eat them... or the number of sea animals killed by fishing far outweighs those dying from plastic waste. Fucking weird messaging.
You know how there's art? And then there is Modern Art? Well, there's food and then there is this, like 'modern-art' food. I understand it but I wouldn't pay $1000 for a consumption food representation of pollution to teach me to care more. It is a liberal thought brought to fruition, having wealthy people pay to eat shit they throw away. To me, "take it with a grain of salt."
This feels like an ideological restaurant made to actually desensitize people from the subjects they talk. They are creating good memories from heavy issues trought good food. And the cut of people that can pay that is the middle high class. Disgustin.
bad-mediocre food with what looks not great seating dressed up as high class. When you say your food tells a story it most likely means that the food isn't that good.
These meals just look like they would make me angry. Much like the menu. Give me a burger that’s amazing. Give me some pasta that will blow my mind. I don’t care about some weird shit that’s just for looks.
i think food having a "meaning" could be kind of cool. there could certainly be interesting parallels or metaphors made between flavors and some sort of artistic message. perhaps food is an untapped medium of art. still aint paying 1000 for this cliche 1984 stuff though.
The self indulgence of all these "messages" while only feeding a select group of hyper wealthy clientele is the worst part. Imagine if that amount of money got funneled into some charity or program to actually help the issues in society? But then what will the chefs do with their crappy 'food-art'?

You know what, I think I’m just gonna stick with jelapeno poppers from Applebee’s.
People talk so much sh!t about Applebee's but those breadsticks w Alfredo sauce taste amazing

the 1k wouldnt have gone to that anyway
@Sleep deprived there are charities that would be happy to use that 1k for something worth while.
@@Altmetalpunk yes, and i said those ppl wouldnt have givent that 2k to those charities, would just have paid for another kind of experience or left it at the bank
But how would they give the money to thoose causes if you need to give them the money
I'm just about to have McDonald's delivered to my hungover ass, and then a Will Neff video drops
perfect timing 😎
food acquired but I kind of regret eating it while watching some of these absolute monstrosities
🤣 i was just about to say.
I had to bounce at 8:52 and watch Hasanabi Industries Sam Seder vid but I'm full and back LETS GOOOO
What did you get???
2:05 how many trips to the ER before you realize it just isn't worth it?! Love yourself, just not like that

That’s what I was thinking 1000$ for a 7 hour experience isn’t that crazy if you are really into this fine dining shit.
@@mrtrick8805 exactly. If you’re well off its way more respectable to try experience than buying more property.
@@CommanderWar64 what is man but a bunch of random opinions
enjoying food is always so entertaining. your video about the wellington and sergio the waiter is my favorite video on the internet.
that story has better plot development and delivery than half of all content i watch

“1984 was about data privacy…”
Not really but ok
I want these chefs and the chefs from Chef Club to meet and have a cage match
😂😂😂
The mental image of that is fucking hilarious
That black room in the beginning would off rip freak me out lmao
I can appreciate the creativity and vision, but brother, I just want some garlic bread.
They were talking about freeing animals and the cruelty of labor practices blahblahblah. THEN THEY SERVED FOIE GRAS
Honestly 1k is cheaper than i wouldve thought for an experience like the menu
Imagine showing up to the restaurant dressed in rags, not having showered for days and being like "it's a commentary on how some people cannot always afford food"
The guy in the video at one point said it wasn’t necessarily about food tasting good….
…..isn’t it tho? Did I miss a food update?
"I can't relate to my son, thats what it means. Now eat your fucking grilled cheese" 😂
oh my word every minute of Will Neff content is a minute of happiness added to my life.
Paying 1k to get shamed for 7 hours sounds like a good deal for any masochist lol

14:43 it’s just drugs and cream.

This restaurant tells you what is the problem, but then never tels you how it can be solved and precedes to contribute like with the chocolate
Because it is much easier to cry about the world
Yes because humane child laborer free chocolate does not exist. And they literally had a qr code to guide you on how to donate blood
This restaurant is the chefs club of fine dining.
Crazy fast turnaround from live to upload. I see ya :)
the north will remember
Will’s comment about the universality of food is so on point.
Wills youtubechannel isway to small for the comedic value his videos and commentary have👍
Ikr! I feel life he's the best kept secret. He never fails to make me keel over with laughter

I agree. People like guy in the video is the reason I avoid this ritzy pretentious shit…. So so so many moments that made my eyes involuntarily roll
I’m 12 and this is incredibly deep
„1984 was about data privacy” is somehow the most neoliberal 21st century statement ive ever heard.
13:07 there must've been molly in that cup
damn i picked the wrong video to eat breakfast to
I’m fucking screaming this whole video man. It’s so pretentious, so contradictory. Really think about the people who can spend $1000 and 7 hours on food and whether or not they would ever give a shit about the social commentary.
the resturant from the menu is another one. its in norway, its called: cornelius sjømatsresturant
Aaaand my appetite is ruined. Thanks, Mr. Neff :)
The chicken part was so confusing because why would you state that while also serving meat?
1:45 🤣🤣 wtf?
The whole "free the seas from plastic waste, now eat this sea creature" and "we just freed this chicken from the cage and now we gotta eat it"... like we dont just keep animals in cages for the hell of it, it's because we eat them... or the number of sea animals killed by fishing far outweighs those dying from plastic waste. Fucking weird messaging.
To me this is not a restaurant is more like a interactive museum
yeah... for 1000$
This restaurant has to be a troll

After seeing The Menu there is no way in hell I wouldn’t have been in there looking around crazy as hell😅😅😅
This twelve year old with all his lifeexperiences removes some experience made for 50 year old bankers.
I saw this and instantly thought the same thing! Love your content will
literally the menu and the main dude that knew everyone was gonna die LOLOLOLOL this is wild xD u think he watched the movie?
i hate how pretentious everything is yet how badly i wanna know how it works

Did they get set on fire after
They went to Taco Bell after that

When you say your food tells a story it most likely means that the food isn't that good.
Do it, ask if they will let you stream the experience. I want to see chat explode when you try to eat that ostrich head looking thing hahah
this place makes bourdain spin in his grave.
UA-cam just iced your clip channel
How annoying. Thanks for the heads up
@@WillNeff No problem.
Love your content, best storyteller.
See you at movie night later!
Very pretentious and expensive...that being said I would definitely do it just for the absurdity of it
Jokes on you im south American, ive already eaten all the gross parts of the animal just culturally
Its like the sewer chef in Future Man
That is food amazing food but is it a meal?
I’ve eaten chicken and cow brain before both were delicious fyi 😂😂 his reaction was honest

Why is this guy in Kurtis Conners' place?!
LOL
Cringe: The Restaurant
A lot of those drinks and food look gross.
Some of this shit looks good but I would not pay $1000 for what ever the fuck this is.
Wtf is wrong with a classic French restaurant.
this is not classic french
