    The main course looked picture perfect way too good to be consumed! With large portion sizes and reasonable prices makes it a very popular eating place in NYC. Great video James.

      Thank you! Yeah, that fish course had a sharp look to it, but still was able to back it up with flavor!

    A big plate of pasta seems like a much more satisfying starter than a frumpy salad or bowl of soup!

    6:03 - THAT is the BEST checklist ANY restaurant can hit! Any place short of those is a no-go for me!
    I’m SO GLAD you finally addressed PORTIONS w this much emphasis! Whew!
    I’ve sat & watched you get served _embarrassingly_ (almost TAUNTINGLY) TINY portions that I CRINGE & get angered, both on principle AND for your sake. 🤷‍♂️
    Tweezers & forceps gags should never jump to mind when paying that much for even top-flight food. ✌️

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  6 місяців тому +1

      I know what you mean. It's one thing to have great food, but if I'm paying a lot, I at least want to be filled up.

      Photography. It doesn't pay much, but it allows me to be flexible with my time at least. Plus, thankfully, I'm making more from UA-cam these days, which really helps.

    Let me buy you a coffee, Big Game James. I really liked your bringing up portion size at these Michelin joints.
    Many goof on us for watching other people eat, but only the hardcore gastronomy goons understand the awesomeness of this ... vicarious voyeurism (🥸) like we do. 🤩
    Keep em comin! 👌✌️
