New fan here bro, love ur chill vibe, its not overly edited/pro which I love, just casual with minimal editing and honest thoughts, thats all we need man
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
@@Jamesnu yeah lol it reminds me of johnny depps willy wonka in a good way
Honestly, I'm just amazed at the quality of your content, I've been following for a while, but I can't stress enough how impressive it is that you keep producing content at such a high level even though this isn't your main gig (yet). I have so many questions, how do you manage this / your day job? How did it start (have you been passionate about food/film long before you started producing content about it?), Do you normally enjoy dining alone vs. with a group (if so, why) or is it something you prioritize for the content itself? What are some dreams you have for the channel? (content, restaurants/countries you can't yet afford but dream of experiencing) - maybe a Q&A is in order? -- again, incredible content, keep doing what you're doing, just happy to tag along
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support. Yeah, I'll probably have to do a q and a sometime.
Another great vlog James! You are helping so many out!
Love this channel ❤
Thank you so much!
Looks like fun updates on comfort food. Perfect picnic food served indoors
Absolutely!
No idea how you don't have more subs, these reviews are just top notch and done so well. Keep the grind going!
Thank you so much!
Agreed, James should have more subs!
It’s true what you say about the bread ! It goes along way and the fact that it comes with the sauce .
This was an amazing & unique review on modern fried chicken 🙌🏼 thank you & I hope I can stop by some day !!!
Indeed, there was a lot of thought put into the bread course. It definitely was a fine meal. I hope that you get to try it someday.
Very fun presentation of all of the lunch items. I especially liked their custom bucket. The tarte flambee looked so crispy. Even the bread was interesting.
Indeed! Everything I had was done with such care and finesse. It was a very nice lunch!
Really enjoyed this video. Just chill fine dining review. Great job!
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Hi James,
Thanks for your video of your lunch at The Modern. I had never heard of fried chicken at a 2 Michelin Star restaurant! I love fried chicken and I would love to try this place. What a treat!
Have a wonderful day and I always appreciate your reviews.
Best Wishes,
Peter
Thanks Peter! It certainly was a unique offering for a fine dining restaurant. I hope you have a wonderful day as well!
You know I was waiting for this one! I've mentioned before, The Modern is one of my favorite restaurants in Manhattan! I've done the dining room a few times, the bar room more times than I can remember, and the kitchen table only once (but, an experience worth saving up a little cash for)! This is super playful and fun, and while I agree about bone-in, I think this suits the atmosphere perfectly. Thank you for putting yourself through the rigors of fine dining on all our behalves!
Once again you nailed it on this review. I have been there and tarte is amazing! Can’t wait to try the chicken! Again many thanks! Can’t wait for your next review!!!!
I know what you mean! It really is a great restaurant on so many levels. I definitely have to try the dining room one day and the kitchen table sounds like an amazing experience. Still, the bar room, is such a nice spot for a meal and it's always been a joy to dine there.
Thank you so much! Yeah, the tarte was excellent!
Thank you James love Monday for your reviews
Thank you so much! That makes me happy to hear!
OMG everything in your vlogs are so beautiful, thank you 🙏🏻💐
I really hope to keep vlogging 💕
Thank you so much!
everything looks incredible here! always wanted to go to the museum of modern art in NYC so i will have to try this!
Both the museum and restaurant are definitely worth checking out.
I just love your videos/reviews
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear!
I just moved to NYC and I’m always looking for new restaurants to visit - your channel is invaluable! Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much! That makes me happy to hear!
I agree...more places need to have elevated versions of the basics....great video!
Thank you!
That looks so good. Great looking chicken and fries. Thanks James!
It was a very satisfying lunch! Thanks for watching!
Everything from the bread on up looked amazing James. The banana pudding was the one thing that I would have ordered two of. That looked amazing. Thanks for another great review. Cheers
Cheers and thanks for watching! It really was an enjoyable lunch and that banana pudding was on another level!
Keep up the good videos really really enjoy watching them love from Europe 👍👍
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
My mouth is watering! Thanks for another fine review. Btw, I think the bread was their version of Fougasse, which I've often had from a terrific bakery while vacationing in Maine. Excellent choices all around. Ciao.
Yeah, I can definitely see the resemblance to a fougasse. Thanks for sharing that info. It really was great bread.
Great video as always! also remember that one video you did about Parrilla La Brigada in Buenos Aires? well it inspired me to go there (from Mexico where I live) and oh man! it was sooo good and such a great city too!
Not as cheap as when you went there but it still is a trip that is very, very easy on the wallet! so thanks for that video and this one too!
Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that you went to Buenos Aires. It's such an amazing city with so much to offer!
Another great review!! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
I moved to NYC last year. I like your videos a lot. I'm going to try this soon! 😊
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
Great video very professional also naming the restaurant is huge thank you eddy maimi
Thank you so much!
Love the vibe of your videos. Highlights not just the food, but restaurant as a whole perfectly. Keep it up!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I like that the restaurant has added a playful element to their menu with that eye catching fried chicken “bucket”. Also surprising was the complimentary Fougasse bread. This bread is a rarity in most restaurants. Not sure why? Goes to show that the kitchen is willing to go far above and beyond the norm. A delightful experience enjoyed by us viewers. Good work, James.
Thank you! Yeah, I really respect just how much effort the restaurant puts into their bread. They always change it, and it's always unique and interesting. It's a detail that I really appreciate.
Fabulous review….you got a new subscriber from England ❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Awesome vid bro, really enjoyed it
Thank you!
Looked good. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for another great review. Everything you ordered looked amazing. It’s just tough to think about if you dine with a date two hundred for lunch is a lot. Yes it’s fine dining I understand but I think there’s so many places in the city to go a little less expensive. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank you! Yeah, it's definitely not cheap, but it at least was very good.
Another delicious review! 😊
Thanks for watching!
Great review! Everything looked amazing but I have a sweet tooth & that dessert was perfection! 🥰
Thank you! Yeah, that dessert was a delicious surprise!
When I saw your empty bowl of the banana pudding, where you scraped every possible morsel, it really made me laugh out loud, thank you for enjoying your food so much.I also enjoyed your French Laundry video, it's on my bucket list ❤❤❤
Thank you! Yeah, I was going to eat every morsel of food that I paid for, and it was definitely good food!
Thank you Mr. Andrew's for another fine video...
Thank you for watching!
Adding to my must check out list. Wow.
It's a really good restaurant!
You got the “Not-Champagne” right this time! Much appreciated!❤
Indeed! Thanks for watching!
OMG that all looks so good!
It was a great lunch!
You made eating fried chicken look elegant … everything looked finger licking good🍗💁🏻
Thank you! It was delicious!
You're a good person with excellent content! Respect...
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Oh James it's great to see you moving up to classy joints. It's also a great relief to see you eating, I sometimes awake in a cold sweat worrying that perhaps you have either not eaten at all or under eaten
Haha! Thank you! No need to worry. I'll always get some good food no matter what.
Looks delicious. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Great video- all of the food you ordered- looked delicious.
Thank you!
Your videos are delightful. I find myself being envious of every morsel you put in your mouth! Yum!
Thank you so much!
Another great review of a nice meal! Great presentation for bar food.
The bread looked like a smaller version of a fougasse, a French bread speciality originating from the Provence region. It can be sweet or savory.
Thank you! You're right! It definitely seemed like it was a sort of fougasse.
@@Jamesnu Should you ever travel Europe around this time of the year, we do have a fantastic annual marathon event here in Vienna/Austria. The Vienna City Marathon 24 is coming up this weekend, unfortunately though, the weather might not be perfect. It's rather cool this week. But the marathon has an iconic start over a bridge spanning the Danube, it's quite spectacular!
@@inLmgb I've actually considered the Vienna Marathon in the past. Maybe in the future I'll do it.
@@Jamesnu Yay! The drink to celebrate the successful finish would be on me! 👍☺
You give France too many credits, ‘fougasse or Socca a specialty of Provence -Alpes Maritimes (/Nice, Menton, Cannes etc..) were actually introduced to Italy (which then were introduced to France) by the Arabs. They brought us the whole concept of making Focaccia and Pizza, not to mention pasta and sorbet. Shocking, right? Read Luca Gavoni: Mangiamo Arabo Senza Saperlo ( we eat Arabic without knowing it) . The French are very good at copying world’s prime dishes, flavors and ideas and they claim it as their own.
This place did nail it. And nice portions. Every course looked amazing. My kind of place.🐤
It's a great place for sure!
Great review!
Thank you!
Interesting, yet looks delicious!! Good shyt , James 👌🏾
Thank you!
I'd love to see a video where you show off who has the best Korean fried chicken in NYC. Great video!
Thank you! I appreciate the suggestion!
The Bucket O’ Chicken looked fabulous. Your greasy little fingertips were an indication the chicken was worthy.
It was delicious!
I live vicariously through you....I couldnt dream of being able to afford this food, lol.
I probably spend too much of my money on food, but it's my favorite thing!
@@Jamesnu Do it now while you can. I started my family when I was 19 (way back in the late 80's) and never got that chance. Take advantage while you are young.
Hi James another great video
Thank you!
You have a knack for making restaurant reviews into an enjoyable experience for us. Based on your facial expressions - starter 9.0 main 7.5 desert 8.5 😆😆
Haha! Those ratings actually aren't too far off!
Another content banger. Growing slowly, but surely. That’s what she said.
Haha! Thanks!
Yummm!! Looks spectacular!! Glad the earthquake wasn't a big one. Yikes! Wow 2 Michelin stars! I didn't realize that! Amazing! Lovely choice of sparkling wine! I love the presentation of the friend chicken and fries! Terrific video! Thanks so much! 🙂You rock James! Terrific videomaking!! So enjoyable to watch and so interesting!! I will be going to this amazing restaurant on my next trip to Manhattan! 🙂Worth every penny!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it!
Everything looked delicious. The cup of fries with chicken nuggets on top was a little disappointing because it was mostly fries. Oh well, glad u enjoyed it.
Yeah, I definitely would've liked more chicken, but it was still enjoyable.
I was watching a show called babble top top restaurants in every state and they showed you!
Thanks for sharing! I didn't know that and I'll for sure check it out.
That phyllo dough pizza looked incredible. Interesting to see what is normally served as fast food fried chicken and fries offered in a 2 michelin starred restaurant!
Yeah, that sort of pizza was pretty special. The texture on it was fantastic!
The Modern’s food looks delicious 😋
It was really good!
Great video and screen shot of PH!
Tbh the chicken tastes like any other fried chicken. You would expect something special from a 2 Michelin star restaurant.
Thank you so much!
What a spread! And as we all know, fried chicken tastes better when it comes out of a bucket.
Absolutely! Plus, the bucket makes it more fun!
I'll be in NYC for the Saturday matinée at the Met of Madama Butterfly with Jonathan Tetelman :) May 11, and now I am equally excited about the Fried Chicken at The Modern after the show. I love your reviews and wonder if I will ever make it to The Meshuggina restaurant, where it was.
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy Madama Butterfly and The Modern!
I agree, the tarte flambee looked amazing and not to difficult to reproduce. Do you remember the type of cheese used in the tart? I am happy to know that the yellow on top of the tart is egg and not cheese. Thank you for the detailed video along with food and menu close ups.
Thank you for watching! Yeah, I'm not sure of the exact cheese, but whatever it was, it worked.
I will be in great fear if someone from KFC sees this vlog and submits an idea on how to charge $27 for popcorn chicken on top of limp fries....great video and I swear i could feel the crunch of the chicken as you bit into them. Thank you for a fine post!
Haha! Thank you! It was definitely crispy chicken.
yea because totally same price tier and market
👏👏👏👏👏 Saying momofuku ko without laughing. My admiration to you sir.
Haha! Thank you!
Great review, and the bill part is always a fun bonus for a non American: "in total it came to 132 dollars but with tax and tip it came close to 200 dollars which I think is a great price considering I got free bread AND the location" hehe!
Thank you! Yeah, you always have to think about tax and tip with every meal.
Looking forward to the hot dog review!! Next time, you can also ask for the secret menu on the tarte flambee (there's also a mushroom version).
Interesting! I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip!
It is nearly impossible to watch your videos late at night when I’m hungry!!!
Haha! I'm sorry about that one.
Loved this episode ! Omw to get some fried chx 😂
I'm happy to hear it!
Dave grohls favorite post show meal is champagne and kfc. You did it right, I can’t wait to try this combo
It's a great pairing indeed!
NYC is truly the Mecca of food!
Absolutely!
Really want to see those Caviar Hotdogs James! 😎
3:50 also the bread is that way so you can use the stale ones as brass knuckles
Haha! I haven't thought of that.
That tort! And the banana pudding!
It was really good!
Nice persol shades… Review too!
Thank you!
The chicken looks delicious!
It was really tasty!
I thought everything looked great.
I am glad you enjoyed it.
Jeff
Thank you! It really was an enjoyable lunch!
We are going to be staying at the San Carlos hotel. We will have to swing by now!
I hope you enjoy it!
Great video... 🎉❤ Does anyone have an idea about the bread type? It looks very tasty 😍🤤🤤🤤🤤
Thank you! Some have mentioned in the comments that the bread could be a type of fougasse.
COQODAQ that’s were you should go next! Fried chicken and Champagne!!
I'm really looking forward to trying it!
Eat your heart out KFC! That chicken looked yummy as did the Alsatian tarte. That dessert was unbelievably creative.
Absolutely! Everything was delicious!
Man it looks so good I can smell it from here 😅
It was a great lunch!
Chicken is such an underappreciated food. I would love to see our dining culture do more with them from the supply side, so much of our chicken is from the generic battery farms but there's a lot of variation possible with more artisanally raised chicken. Capons (special castrated roosters,) you almost never hear of restaurants doing anything with capons but I understand the flavor is no comparison to the generic months-old fryers we see most often. There is just a world of possibility on the gourmet supply side, that is really not being exploited.
Well said and I agree!
Those fries look amazing
They were really satisfying!
Honestly that white choclate lid with bananas on it more looked like something you get at a rundown amusement park, and it looked kind of cheap to fill up the bucket with so much fries to, make a smaller bucket with just chicken and then fries on the side instead.
I recommend Frida Midtown, if you haven't gone. The ceviche is the best I've ever had!
$100 for a cup of fried chicken? What a waste!
Thanks for the recommendation! I really appreciate it!
I live in Westchester county and I thought it was a large truck outside my house . Lol . I didn’t feel the after shocks though .
At first I thought it was just construction, but then I quickly realized that it was something more. It was quite a new experience for me. I didn't feel any of the after shocks either.
That looks so delicious and FUN, Andrew (I just learned to put the name of the adressor last, how does it feel?)
I like it! It definitely was a tasty meal.
I saw the hot dogs listed and thought, now this I have to see.
Yeah, I really want to try those hot dogs now.
those fries look good too
They were great fries!
your videos is good bro. i am bit disappointed by small bite you take 🤣🤣. I always expect it to be big,
anyways awesome content.
Thank you! I like to savor each bite.
I've always sat on the dining room side, my next visit has to me the Bar side. I was wondering if the chicken was a combination of white and dark meat chunks? Glad the squirrel got a second on screen too.
Yeah, that squirrel came right up to me when I was filming. I'm not positive if it was white or dark meat, but a combination of the two is likely. Whatever it was, it was good!
I always thought blue ribbon fried chicken was the best. I haven’t try this one, I’ll try next time I go to the city.
Blue Ribbon is a great spot for sure!
I gotta say, James...
You are the toaster of all toasters...
Enjoy.
Thank you!
You went for fried chicken but with the earthquake I think you ended up having shake & bake.
Seriously, this looks like a fantastic meal, looks like you had a nice day and a moving new experience!👍😋
Haha! I did indeed!
The food was amazing 😍🤩💪🥉🎖️🥂🥂
It was really good!
That Flammkuchen looked amazing! I felt the music was a bit intrusive in this video, too high in the mix.
Yeah, that tarte was excellent!
sitting at the bar for a few pieces of fried chicken and dropping over 100 bucks is ridiculous! only in NYC! lol
NYC is costly for sure.
How do you return to “work” (whatever that may be) after such a lunch ?? I would be falling asleep.
Great review. Love fried chicken in most of its forms.
Thank you! I always try to accomplish the most difficult tasks for work before lunch because once I eat, I'm definitely not as effective as I am in the morning.
YUMMY!!!
😋😋😋😋😋
Safe Journey!
Yellowbird Blue Agave Sriracha!!!
Thanks for watching! It was a delicious lunch!
You restored my love for NYC - amazing video James - great job. Thank you.
That makes me very happy to hear! Thanks for watching!
@@Jamesnu I mean every word - again Thank you
Really great video. Constructive criticism: it would be good to show the address and the location for people that want to go.
There is a UA-camr in Connecticut that does that for some of his videos, and it’s something that I have to start doing as well.
And thanks for this video because I definitely want to visit that place also do another visit to the museum of modern art
Thanks for the suggestion! I appreciate it! Yeah, I can see how that would help.
