I need Ollie to bring Josh to a fake michelin star restaurant he sets up himself where he serves him very average food but with fancy name and plating getting increasingly worse with each course and see how Josh reacts to each bite. That would be peak entertainment. There could even be an actor telling stories about each course and cheap wine pairing and all. Please make it happen!
😂
Let us upvote this comment! 😂
Or just ask Gabie to make the food and Ollie tries to convince Josh that its from a Michelin star restaurant 😄
Edit: I also want Gabie to enjoy, just relax, enjoy good food. So Mr Z would cook instead 😄
Yes!!,
Yes! This would be golden!!!
Ollie looking at the chef like he is the love of his life AHAHAHA
To be fair, that is possibly the most handsome chef to ever exist. I understand Ollie here.
It's understandable. That man made oysters good for Ollie. All of the potentially odd food was wonderful. And totally a good looking man, who can cook wonderful things....
If a man served me food like that I would look at him like that too😂
Honestly, before Ollie even said it, I was like, "That is a beautiful man."
Ollie looking at the chef the way Elon Musk looks at his rockets.
Gotta admire Ollie for repeatedly trying something that he knows he doesn't really like. He's so polite in valuing the food that has been prepared for him!
That's not just politeness, some taste require to get used to them and the same ingredient will taste different depending of its origin or preparation.
Stopping at the first try would be like saying you don't like music after listening to only one song.
@@IronFreee I agree, some dishes are definitely an acquired taste and of course they vary depending on different factors. But just like with music, different people will enjoy different things and that's fine. At the least it's setting a great example that one experience shouldn't keep you from trying again and being open-minded😊
@@jasminj1406 I would die to have a meal like that. I hope I become rich enough to travel the world and enjoy diverse cuisines just like they are.
@@damo1597 Same. Until then I'm vicariously living through Josh and Ollie's adventures. Fingers crossed for us to be able to taste all the foods soon haha.
@@jasminj1406On the topic of some dishes being an acquired taste, I actually had that experience with sauerkraut when I tried it the first time, I had to go in a second time to actually kinda like it. I know people also have that experience with raw fish sushi which I've loved since I was a kid.
Can we all appreciate Ollie wearing a shirt with a McDonald's fry box on it while eating at a Michelin restaurant.
The fact that his sweater says bonne apple tit makes this even funnier 😂
Yes 😂❤
No...not everyone finds stupidity funny...
Haha I hadn’t even noticed!
@@tonyedwards9972all 3 coments from you on this chanel are bad and sad! are you ok? looks like youre life must be sad ore you are just a russian troll ☺️
“Many butter. A lot of garlic.” like excuse me that’s my favourite cuisine too 😂
Yes 😂
armand would be in heaven
Mine too! 😂😂
@@nourholliger7600 Omg they should’ve called him over if he was free.
Right? How could you possibly go wrong with garlic and butter?
Massive kudos to Chef Thibault for being such a good sport.
Patient, happy to explain everything, and utterly brilliantly kind. What a wonder of a human being.
it sucks that the chef stereotype is rude and egotistical, glad to see someone act like a normal person
Plus so good-looking ;)
@@RylHango homie, there's front of house and back of house mannerisms for all chefs.
My brother in Christ, he agreed to this for the massive publicity boost it would get from being featured on the channel. You think restaurants like that have a budget for marketing?
He’s so friendly!!!❤🎉
Ollie's confused face when he realized that the food in his mouth was in fact delicious was just precious.
yes, it was so cute. The 'ugh oysters, do I have to?' look becoming "ok, lemme just do this. hey, what is this? holy cow, this is good?!' I also am not a huge oyster fan. I also keep trying, because all those people can't be wrong... meh... dang. Now I want to go to Thibault's restaurant and beg for this tasting menu....
“If meat can be amphibious…” Ollie is a poet of food descriptions. Well done.
I get it. It’s a cross between chicken and fish, so both land and water
I mean, it does come from an amphibian so it makes sense that it tastes amphibious.
Well I'm french and I love cuisses de grenouilles and it's really the perfect description. It's a mix between meet and fish, and its delicious
I love that Ollie appreciates the chef’s handsomeness
As he should.
Oh, handsome till you smell him
@@FUBAR1986 ?
@@FUBAR1986 seriously I think you need to grow up
@@FUBAR1986 why? Are french smelly? Or is it a chef thing?
I really enjoy how they are bringing in people from behind the camera on the action, makes it feel a lot more like friends sharing an experience.
Agree, the support staff must also eat every dish.
French person here and it also made me laugh when Josh said "that's a lot of oysters" at the beginning. Growing up my family would have oysters every Sunday as appetizers and it was standard to buy 6 oysters per person. 😂
Same! That portion is child's play for me hahaha
As a French I'm so happy you liked these dishes. They're uncommon now even in restaurants. It reminds me the 80's when I could go to restaurant and eat with my grandparents...
Why did these dishes become uncommon?
@Mudra I guess it's trends. They take time to prepare, some are strongly associated with family dinners for most people, and the French cuisine is highly influenced with world food since the 90s.
@@mudra5114 Price would be the prominent factor, in my opinion. Aside from the restaurant the Jolly boys ate at, those dishes aren't served by your average bistrots, which are reasonably priced. There are lots of restaurants that serve frog legs, snails, etc but they tend to be on the pricier side of dining. I love oysters and in a coastal city that I often visit, a plate of raw oysters will fetch about 20 euros, which my family will go through 3 or 4 orders before we go onto eating the main meal.
@@Americaninparis2012 Thanks.
@@Americaninparis2012 it's not the price like my mom was cooking a lot of vol au vent (we call them bouchées a la reine) and my grandfather use to cook the snails he found in the forest with garlic butter and oyster was often on the table for Christmas, but like my grandfather is dead so no more frog legs and snails, and my mother cook other recipes, there is trends with recipe too, the people are doing other things with time. But you can found oll of these food at bistrot or in a butcher shop,or outdoor markets for not so mutch money, as far you are not going to a Michelin restaurant
Josh and Ollie went from trying oysters and ravioli snails, to then finishing it off with a few sausage rolls…😂
definitely nowhere near a sausage roll🤣
more like a beef wellington
I mean it’s quite a little bit more than that !
Sausage roll seriously 😂 please man respect the food that’s more like fancy meat
Is that Pigeon - Gross
Ollie having a crush on Thibault was the most relatable thing in this episode.
I love how Ollie keeps trying oysters, even though he disliked them each time, to finally enjoy this oyster!! Your reaction to the food made me want to run to Paris! 🤤💜
Ollie making literal heart eyes at the chef is the sweetest thing ever
When I was younger and went to camp they served us frog legs. They were fried. We thought that it was chicken. After dinner they chef came out with a box showing us we’d eaten frog legs. The meltdown was hilarious
5:09 Gabie’s like a proud mom watching her kids enjoy good food 😌
You can do a french road trip like you did in Italy. It does not limit itself to Paris and it could be great you guys discovering south west France
Ça serait génial mais super coûteux en temps comme en argent. Parce qu'absolument chaque région de France a sa place à table! 😊
The Italy trip was particularly good because of Mr. Z. He knew the places to go for the best experience. Josh and Ollie need to make friends with Thibault so that maybe he can do the same in France. :p
Also visit Montpellier and Normandy. There are so many brits in Montpellier for some reason. The sun might have something to do with it.
@@bhagad i mean Gabie is quite knowledgeable and Ollie can speak French somehow even if he jokes about it. I find it more amazing when they go to places that a tourist or not as knowledgeable would go to.
They'll probably find that even a hole in the wall restaurant can taste great here in France.
Je crois qu'ils vont aller en Normandie avec Armand !
That moment when Josh falls back and acts like a cat, rubbing his head against Ollie, GOLDEN!
When my mom & I went to Paris she was absolutely NOT having snails. The waiter misunderstood and brought us 2 orders. She couldn’t speak French so she ate it anyway… and she LOVED IT!!! So don’t be afraid people!
Thibault is amazing!! The only thing that could make it better, is that he is back for a 2nd video!
Part 2 is the dessert. They're in the same clothes & restaurant 😉
I truly love how you’re navigating between French gastronomy public figures.
Thibault was a competitor in the same show as Pierre Sang (not the same season though) and as far as I remember seeing images of him shirtless on the screen at that time made some people’s heart flutter.
I’m terribly jealous while being glad to witness the sheer joy of mates trying Michelin star dishes.
@@NormandieDiexAie Top Chef, fifth season
Thibault has to be the cutest, most relaxed and most charming MIchelin Star chef I've ever seen on tv/UA-cam. 😃
French are just the best! ❤I really love the food, style, humor, and how friendly they are 🙌🏼✨
Expected Josh and gabbie to be open but Luke and ollie were surprisingly open and so sweet. I am glad they enjoyed the meal.
I couldn't appreciate more how involved the chef is here. He's really passionate about the food and sharing the experience with them. More like this and potentially more with him!
I love Ollie’s facial expressions! You can see his brain turning. ❤🇨🇦
The one girl was so right when she said that you can tell when Ollie likes something his eyes get big and stares up. Lol. Ollie is the best
So many firsts on Luke this 2023. First time to travel in Korea (Korean Englishman) and now first time to try some Michelin star food in Paris (Jolly) 🙌🏻
Good to see Gabie have been wondering how she was doing. I'm sure that she is the key to the guys having these French food experiences.
Depending on when this was filmed, she was in France taking another cooking course.
As much as I love the KE and Jolly series with friends and guests, I really love seeing Josh and Ollie and long time friends and teammates from behind the camera enjoying special food together ❤ Reminds me why I fell in love with their channels in the first place ❤
"Many butter" 😂 hilariously wholesome, I absolutely love when non native english speakers use these types of phrases.
And it some how expresses their point better than if the phrase was technically correct
@@JB-vd8bi Couldn't agree more. It's pure conversational gold
Butter is taste. Greasy yummy yummy
I cannot be the only jollybean that just enjoys it so much when Josh and Ollie just absolutely melt when they eat amazing food.i love watching their reaction
I love the fact that you ALL shared the food and captured it on camera. Not many do that and it's beautiful to see. Just started watching you guys not long ago. Cheers from Canada
Cheers from another Canadian Jollybean!
@@kohlinoor beauty!
GOD, I think Thibault is one of my favorite Chefs you've had on the channel! He and Pierre Sang are so amazing, friendly, INCREDIBLY talented, and soooo French. Thank you so much to Josh, Ollie, and the rest of their team for making these videos and introducing us to these new experiences and people!!💜💜💜
I am a simple girl. I see a notification from Jolly, I click
Ditto.
Me too!!! ❤
Definitely
In my younger years, I go frogging with my father and uncle. Nothing better than fried frog legs, gravy and biscuits and fried potatoes and onions. Perfect Southern USA breakfast!
Chef Thibault is amazing for showing you guys the traditional French dishes like that! What an incredible feast! Can't wait to see the dessert episode! 😍
We need more of Luke trying new things , his reaction is hilarious
I don’t want to know what kind of dishes they will be eating a year from now when they start running out of popularly eaten food haha
True 😔
They've been doing it for a while and I don't see people getting tired of food anytime soon.
The worst that can happen is for them to become vegan, vegetarian or some other nonsense...
Probably Brits try food in space, lol
I don't think they'll run out of food from 197 minus however many countries' cuisines they've tried so far in just one year.
just come down to south east asia and they'll easily have food content for the next 5-10 years
What a Frenchy French man! Handsome is as handsome cooks! Love you all! xoxo from Kentucky, USA
The excitement the chef has for cooking and the playfulness of his cuisine is amazing. its now on my bucket list
The chef looks so happy with his food it somehow makes you happy too
I love how they wear comfy, casual clothes when going to fancy places lmao. Don't ever change!
When I was stationed in West Germany in the late 8os there was a restaurant in Erlensie called The Hungry Hunter where they served wild game that was taken by local hunters. I ate my first wild boar, roast pheasant, duck, red deer, and field snails in that establishment. The nights menu was dependent on what a hunter had shot the week before and how long it lasted.
What a lovely chef! To take the time and energy to put this together and do it with such care and consideration and hospitality- *chef’s kiss*. 💜 That being said, as much as I respect and admire the dear chef, I don’t think my pallet would appreciate his menu. 🤣
OH Mine would. French cuisine is Divine!
I've met some cool Frenchman, but Thibault might be the coolest I've seen. What a lad.
From someone who catches and cooks his own food i was so freaked out when i heard about frog legs i always thought theyd be like gelatin textured and gross but theyre pike a really lean chicken that has 0 fat. Frog legs are goated.
That's how my parents tricked me into eating them when I was five
And the texture is so good. Like, it's just the perfect texture and comes off the bone clean literally every time.
very tender meat yes
You need to have a “First Time” series with Luke.
Can’t believe neither of you have ever heard of vol-au-vents! They’re a staple on most party buffets
From a UK perspective, vol-au-vents might have been a staple on most party buffets back in the day (1970s???), but I rather doubt they are today???
@@richierich291266 They're still around at some ballroom parties as appetisers, but they're tiny little things about the size of a makizushi slice, and filled with a teaspoon of crab or prawn sauce. You'd be hard pressed to find something like what they were served in this video.
Also a very popular dish in most common Belgian restaurants
Thibault is a well-known chef to those who watched Top Chef France a few years ago😊 A lot of the contestants have earnt stars on the Michelin guide 😊
I was crying and having a bad time.This video made me happy.
Thanks to everyone who made this video happen.
Hope you feel better friend 😊
Ollie, you are so right about the Chef, eye candy at it's very best. Everything you had today looks absolutely delicious.
Frog legs, snails, and oysters….damn, I want to go to this restaurant and have this dinner! All the best bits in a single meal.
You guys have no idea how happy I am seeing Olli's face turn brighter after his first scoops of Oyster!
I love that everyone got a bit of each dish. It added to the dynamic of the video and was super enjoyable to watch.
ollie hesitated on the oysters but had no problem eating the amphibious meat. we're like total opposites 😂
chef thibault looks just as amazing as the food he serves, cheers! 🤍
This takes me back to France and reminds me so much of when I first had snails and frog (probably not this level of course). I miss it...
And it's lovely how they are embracing the new experiences and also enjoy Luke trying all these things for the first time too. What a lovely atmosphere
Watching someone who is a master of their craft share their passion with others is amazing. What an incredible chef.
I went to this restaurant before and i tell u what the food was absolutely fantastic, place was pretty fancy
literally saw the chef and thought wow, and then felt instantly reassured, Ollie’s surely gonna point out how beautiful he is, and Ollie, like always, you never disappoint ! -also love you josh don’t get jealous😂
I really do celebrate Ollie for his openness to call Thibault goodlooking.... for a straight man that is so cool !!! Thx
I love that the camera man is trying everything for the 1st time too ☺️ his reactions are so wholesome!
I'm with Ollie, I too would look at Chef Thibault with love and adoration.
I love the chef. He's so nice to his customers and involved with his dishes.
The vol au vent (ive called it something else), you can also make with ham, cheese and bechamel. My mom makes it and its incredible.
Arguably the best meal I’ve seen you fellas eat. What made it better were seeing your comrades also have bites. Kudos to the chef.
I envy most of Luke's firsts 😅 always top quality!!
So Ollie had many of his firsts with an handsome French chef ?
I genuinely love their reactions to great food. It is food like this I put on my bucket list to try one day.
Thank god for the camera men/women. Feels like other channels don’t interact with them as much or have that chemistry. Letting them taking a break and actually getting to try the food that they’re filming is dope.
I wonder how many proposals this chef has gotten after his food has serenaded guests into a state of swooning ecstasy…. 😂😂😂
Ollie is on the verge of having a 3 way relationship! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Thibault impressed Ollie with his good look and his sense of humour. Ollie impressed Thibault with good appetite. That's love ))❤
I feel that watching Josh and Ollie try so many different foods has made me a more adventurous eater and more willing to try new things. I want to try everything in this episode.
That’s real food , not fried , but pampered and slowly cooked with love spices ! Poached , simmered , blended , and seasoned by an expert awarded by his peers for excellence ❤
I would've loved a conversation video with Thibault, he seemed like a very interesting person to have a chat with :)
Ollie really does stare at Thibault a LOT in this 😆
As much as I love the chaotic energy and the fun, the jumper game is quite strong. Well done 👏🏽
Wow, so cute. all the sharing with Gabby and Luke. So many firsts. LOL Ollie's face with the oysters, then the shock and joy as he found it great.
I'm not joking when I say that I gasped when they first showed the chef... and then Ollie immediately commented on how good looking he was...
hubba hubba
I litterally took a screenshot of him to show my hairdresser how to properly manage my partially balding head ahaha
“French resistance long gone”
Ollie reduces meal to a sausage role ..
Spoken like true Brit’s 😂
😂😂
The best joke hahaha😂😂😂😂🎉
This episode is full of firsts for Ollie. First oyster he likes, first snail, first frog leg, first man he wants to kiss
It's funny to see you guys live so close to France but have never or barely ate these types of food. I'm in North America, french descent (1536) and I know of no one that weren't at one point or another brought up on these items. They're so prevalent that our national dollar store (Dollarama) sells canned snails, much cheaper than at the grocery store. Frog legs are generally found at the fish monger or grocery stores, this chef's take on vol-au-vent and seafood; is quite similar to our own cipâte/cipaille (sea pie). Mind you vol-au-vent are available here everywhere from the local grocery store to the Costco's/Walmart (of this world) to local bakeries; the store versions are generally made with veg lard or pork lard (cheaper) and bakeries use butter. They are simply puff pastry cut outs (just like donuts) but they necessitate 3-4 more turns to be able to rise as much. Foie gras is quite a staple here as we produce the most in all of north America. Shame that the UK have banned this awesome fat bar but on the bright side; it just means that the price hasn't risen and there are more for us🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😜
“It looks like the snail’s taken a garlic bubble bath!” 🧄 🐌 🛁😂
I love how you guys went from eating jellied eel from a plastic container to the best cuisine all over the world
Guys. I found Melona ice cream bars in my local super market in my city in the middle of Canada. They are my new favorite thing for summer, when it gets here usually in May/June. Can't open them like M. but WOW. Had to share. Love you all. 🍁🍁🍁
Whoever chose to use Mercury The Winged Messanger as the background music and timed up the transition perfectly at 4:20 when the flavor really exploded and hit their senses deserves a fucking raise
6:57 Ollie’s face when he said just put it then suck😂
Vol-au-vent is such a traditional thing in Belgium aswell. Chicken vol-au-vent that is (it's usually made with chicken).
yeah this one was with sea food
always proud to be french when i watch these vids, and next week is about deserts ? you'll see how amazing they are ^^
My partner is my BEST critic for what I cook - when he reacts like these guys over my cooking I just know I've nailed it! I love cooking and to cook amazing food - no wonder people are chefs.
I love how much you both love good food. I'm also enjoying this series so very much.
0:43 not even 1 min in...ollie's face😂😂
I had frog legs for the first time some 15 years ago and legit had the same reaction. It reminded me of meat (chicken!) and fish at the same time. It's an amphibious meat. But like in a good way.
That pigeon dish looked absolutely amazing. The French really know how to prepare small birds.
I am so jealous. This meal looks sublime. Thank you for reigniting my love of food. I love how even though you guys are foodies you are not pretentious. Loving you guys. Hello from Canada.
man that all looked incredible. a private michelin star dining experience - you guys are doing it right!
i’m so excited everytime i see a new jolly video i have it on repeat for a few weeks
Ollie was so smitten with that chef, the chef could have sat dog food in front of him and Ollie would have enjoyed it 😂❤
I have to agree with Ollie, the Chef is a whole snack!!
