Man that was so relatable when he was discussing how the truffles weren't good because it was too cold that week in Italy. I know exactly how he feels I really hate when that happens.

Bruuuhhh 😂😂
There is a certain point where a meal turns from cooking into art. You're no longer paying for food, you're paying for a piece of these chefs' lives. The dedication and amount of practice that goes into these plates are tremendous. How many hundreds of dollars did they waste on ingredients, making that roasted duck for two weeks before finally meeting the Chefs requirement to be served?
Absolutely phenomenal.
You’d love The Menu 👨🍳
and thats exactly why high class restaurants are bad imo
Had the pleasure of dining here. Was incredible. I was joking with the Maiter D after dinner about when the kitchen tour began. She said, "Whenever you are ready." She pulled a young man off the floor and took us on a tour of everything. Chef came off the line to greet us and my first question was, "How can it be so quiet in here." so this video was very similar to my experience. I spent an hour in the kitchen and was able to speak with many about their part. They truly love what they are doing. Another thing very interesting is that all of the awards the restaurant has won are in a back hallway for only the staff to see. I'm sure to server as a reminder to bring that every day. I'd work there for free just to peel potatoes.
It's great to hear they are still doing business

I work in the restaurant next door so I see this dude all the time. He’s super chill
That's great to hear. I've worked with few guys like him in my career. In my experience these hardcore French chefs come across as total hardasses but are actually really cool and funny when you get to know them.

This is not the first time I see this video and everytime I'm just mindblown of their dedication and effort, its unreal.
I have been watching this video again and again over the last 6 years. I am still amazed.
i like how he still talks about his old boss like the boss is alive and he's still working for him. That's respect and humility right there.
He worked for one of the greatest chefs who have ever lived, what a dream!
Or insanity
Robuchon was a living legend. Greatness recognize greatness

The white truffles are so undercooked it told me that the princess was in another castle
I would never work for this dude but my god I could watch him run this place all day every day forever.
That density in the chef tells me that his dishes are gonna be loved by all
This dude legit checks the weather forecast for the places that he gets his truffle from to be able to plan his dishes for the next weekend...that’s some serious dedication
You call it dedication, I'll call it madness.
@@BlueDragon1504 Madness is it's own form of dedication.
It makes sense. Alot of weather affects how things taste. Wine grapes, truffle etc
It's truffle.
BlueDragon if I pay few hundreds for a fish it better be perfect.

To work in a 3 star michellin restaurant with as little noise as possible just goes to show how skilled the individual cooks are.
I'm a fan of this chef. He's really meticulous and pragmatic. The food look fantastic.
Chef: "For me it's really important to have a special relationship with the supplier."
Supplier: "Let's give him the wrong peas."

Haha hahaha I laughed out loud when watched that
This is epic~I couldn’t stop laughing for a min.
*A special relationship, if you know what I mean.* 😏
Basically if your food is super detailed, it means someone has been intensely staring at it/breathing on it for a while.
Underrated detail, and comment 😂
I thought the same thing 😂😂 give a Juan to throw that burrito together
Exactly

Don't worry it is the secret ingredients
"Everyone knows what they're suppose to do. Why talking?"
That's something else.
"Everynight we compete who has the best mashed potato and obviously i win everytime, so i stopped competing." The confidence level is 10000/100

From the videos I've watched from this channel, two factors are essential for restaurants to get a Michelin star: Chefs with OCD level perfectionism and using caviar on many things
This is above and beyond amazing stuff. I couldn't do this job its too meticulous but god bless this chef and his team.
What I appreciate about him is that he is ever so meticulous with his craft, but he doesn't come off as snobby. He says there's always room for improvement, even when it's the best thing you've made, but he doesn't down talk it, or humiliate it. He's most definitely strict, but he's not uptight.
He's passionate. And I respect that.
Anthony Sanchez That's the first thing I noticed about him. It's great compared to other Master Chefs...
Unlike gordon. Its like. Naaaaah
Yeah thats what I see in this guy. A very dedicate chef who wants his food worth his customers money. No customers need perfection, they just want to see their chef trying his best.
Well there is a camera in front of him. I can see him spitting on his employees when the cameras are off.
They all say the same tho! And I bet he's a different person when the camera's aren't rolling..I bet that place is a miasma of fear. Or maybe not. Maybe the chefs-de-partie can stand up to him. But given the french tradition in the kitchen, I bet it's a miasma of fear.

Chef:That Will be £274.
Waira GC I wonder if you can get free samples in this restaurant before you buy lol.

Andre Laurent 1:36 😂
Facts dude
You should order more than appetizer sir.
this is so much more then food, this is truly art they are making
at the end where he says "why you talking" for me makes sense. i started working in a in a fine dining place in vancouver, and its actually pretty quiet where i work, compared to the places before where I have been. pretty cool seeing this
"Where's our food??"
*The chef is still measuring it ma'am/sir*
Hahaha

Dude. I wish everyone had someone so dedicated to protecting the legacy of something that took so long to build as a Michelin Star reputation. Really, mad respect for those traditional values in keeping quality and respect in the kitchen high
Perfectionism of a craft is a beautiful thing to see and deserves RESPECT even if you know you will never eat at that restaurant.
"Perfection doesn't exist, no dish is perfect"
"Mashed potatoes are perfect"
What he meant to say is...
Nobody's dish is perfect besides mines
@@lahkooky504westside3 Ain't his either. It's Mr. Robuchon's. XD
Im guessing the mashed potatoes for him is a great reminder of the chef he looks up to. Thats why he wouldnt change it, thats why for him, its perfect. Just like your moms cooking. And i think he only changes his own or his teams recipe, but not the old chef..
Mashed Potatoes are always perfect, no matter what.
I agree mashed potatoes are perfect
“so you see I won everynight so I stopped competing”
what an absolute legend
Coz he created the competition and he is the judge XD

It takes a lot of Sweat and Hard work to be such a passionate Chef lots of pressure to continually live up to your standards when your a perfectionist. Cheers to you and your staff.
Even his haircut is perfection. Can’t imagine the pressure he put on his barber.
soulmate you think he has a barber? He probably does it himself tbh
@@spiritbear9081 probably uses a ruler set or something

All those uncapped heads, hair is absolutely getting in some of the food. Luckily, the hair would stand out from the little specs of food, and is quickly removed.
That’s not a restaurant, that’s a lab where people create edible art
the same reason why I only buy copies and not original art. pointlessly expensive at my income range
NOMA that is art
You cant even eat the food, cause of the guilt of tearing apart its art
lol
Yes, you are wrong if you think all restaurants are to be full. These restaurants are to taste.
"We try to be quiet" The polar opposite of Gordon Ramsay and I love it!!!
The amount of work this man puts into his craft is really amazing
This guy: We work in a quiet kitchen.
*Enters Gordon Ramsy*
The odd thing about that is both of them were trained by the same icon- Joël Robuchon, awarded the most Michelin stars in history (32).
WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUCE!!!!!!!
@@pingapang8155 YOU DONKEY!
The thing is that these type of Michelin Star restaurants have a set menu allowing them to work quietly as everyone knows their job. In the restaurants ramsey visits there is the need for noise.
There is a need for noise as menus vary and not every customer gets the same thing.
I think it's a tie honestly.
* remembers that he has kids to feed*
but chef won, chef always wins.
Damn xD
Hahaha that’s exactly what I thought

He's right about how when you try really hard to get something right and you finally do, it is the best feeling ever. Working towards perfection altough youll never achieve it is what we should work toward. He seems to do it with a good attitude and seems to be mentally healthy.

This level of perfection is what it takes to achieve a 3* Michelin restaurant.
I have been doing my internship in a hotel in Dubai for the last 5 months and I thought I had learnt a lot but after watching this, I understand that to even get to the level of their lowest grade chef will take me years.
"perfection doesn't exist" - a man who measured an apple slice

Precision is something else as perfection.

Its the mindset
"We take turns which one is going to do the best mashed potato. Obviously I won every night so I stopped competing"

He followed up that comment at 9:10, making fun of himself. "I definitely won. Because I create the competition but I'm the judge at the same time." In other words, the contest is rigged, and he can't lose even if his potatoes suck. Funny guy.
