This episode was edited by the talented Alexander Twu and shot by me.
Nice.
Another great episode. Thanks, Alvin!
Honestly, some of my favorite shots are when you take a bite and you just look so *happy* food is the best thing in the world and no one can change my mind.
please please please make more of this series, the quality is absolutely amazing, i could watch like 10 seasons of it.
@@MissTokePanda i think a great bj is better than food
I love how Alvin get to eat everywhere and acts shocked whenever he's told to eat
Literally it’s the sweetest thing. It’s like he genuine never expects anything from any of the chefs. So when they offer he’s always like “🥺 for me?”
@@eppicNESSSS right?! But food is love and chefs are proud. When you cook, you want to share ❤️
@@eppicNESSSS It's very good manners to not expect it! He's in their space after all and they're doing him a favor letting him be there. I would feel the same, honored that they're sharing some with me during their busy, busy day. Love the humility
Yeah, the lucky Bastard!!!
The sexism that she faced in wanting to become a female sushi chef in Japan is wild. Even if you believed the "body temperature spoils fish" theory, since women have less blood flow to their extremities, their fingers would be colder than men's. So if anything you'd only want to hire female sushi chefs if you believed that. Great video and profile on a great chef!
There's a theory that women are colder due to blood circulation whereas men are hotter, especially when you think about it in workforce for example, where traditionally, men will wear suits and thus be hotter, whereas women (traditionally) will wear skirts or dresses and be colder especially with the air conditioner running. It's just so weird that there's this view that women can't be sushi chefs because it'd melt the fish???
I have no idea what you are talking about
lmao ok dork
@@JimGorm who hurt you kiddo
It's quite interesting seeing how sexism work around the world. When you look into the western culture women are known to be better pie makers because they won't melt the butter as much as a man the reasoning behind it is they have much cooler hands. I can't speak for all women but I do have pretty cold hands almost all the time even in hot summer days. I think it's because fields that seem to be manly get these random theories behind why women can or cannot do
"Today's wind blew only today, tomorrow's wind will change"
"Another wind will come!"
These are such beautiful life motto
She was so proud about chef wilson, talking about how fast he is. It's so cute, like a supportive mom.
I just love how great of a leader Chef Sho Boo is. She's always thinking of the well-being of her team and she clearly cares about them a lot. She seems almost like a mom to them, especially when she was cooking the family meal and when she went to the kitchen to help the guy out that was alone, even though she says she's usually out at the bar. Now that's a leader. I'd love to work for a boss like that.
It’s incredibly punk rock of her to become a star chef in her dream position in defiance of all that she’s been told no, and to do it all in another country at a high level. And how she treats/works with her team & her attitude is awesome too! Amazing.
She must be one of the coolest people on this planet, for sure!!
Maybe it's because she experienced the pain of discrimination and being underappreciated, but the way she insists on praising and acknowledging her employees makes me so happy.
She is leadership goals. How to help your team without micromanaging, how to praise your team and show them appreciation throughout the very busy day. She's a gem! Also, I love how she and the team made sure Alvin was well fed! 😂 So heartwarming!
Cutting donuts with scissors - why have I never thought of that?
You don't go to Korean restaurants enough. 😆
@@jayhom5385 Or dim sum! 😆
Kitchen scissors were the best addition to my kitchen tools in a long time. I especially recommend them for travel or camping. They can take the place of lots of tools, but excel when space is at a minimum. Chopping veg, portioning meats, prepping sides, dividing donuts… they do it all!
I love how generous the chefs are with Alvin. They always give him to try the best food
Really hoping this restaurant and its’ staff are safe during the devastating New York City flood x
The what.
@@EithanWinters Hurricane Ida created crippling floods up along the Northeast coast. Dozens of people from Louisiana to New York have died... many homes and stores, as well as New York City's infrastructure, have been destroyed or severely damaged.
Omg I didn't even think of that! You're so right though, I really truly hope for the best. 💕
... its* staff (its = neutral form of his/her, no apostrophe) ...
@@einundsiebenziger5488 "it" is just a third person singular pronoun, commonly used when you wanna refer to a non-person. The neutral form of he/she is "they". Your correction is valid but the explanation isn't really accurate.
She made it look effortless, but 13 hour days is no joke. The restaurant business is extremely tough. You really have to love your job as much as Chef Sho Boo to commit to this life. She is a warrior and a poet!
The enthusiasm she displays is something we should all aspire to have, and to inspire others to have the same
now we have 2 legends, Chef Sho Boo and Chef Motokichi
Alvin is just sweetest boy. Also I love that this video wasn’t entirely predicated on this “look female sushi master !” angle. It let her skill and personality as a master sushi chef shine. That’s real !
I adore this videos. They make me have so much respect for the restaurant industry and all the work behind it that we don't know of or even recognize it. Props to Alvin for this amazing section
the fact that she makes dinner for her staff is so cute
Family meal is an industry standard :) thankfully
Is it weird how much I love watching people feed my boy and how excited he gets everytime?
wow she said
"Today's wind blew only today,
tomorrow's wind will change."
and that she welcomes each new day as it comes...
I admire her so much...
Alvin’s always surprised when they feed him 😂 it’s so nice 😌 also I love that these videos are always in the language of the restaurant theme or their mother tongue.
loving the 'day in the life' series so far, the scenes are shot beautifully! It's simply astounding to see how much effort chefs give into making just one dish.
Normally I don't really care for "day in the life of" style videos, but something about the way Alvin does them keeps me engaged the whole time. =D
I'd give more credit to the editor
I love Alvin's way of narration. it's so calming and sincere.
2:22 is also really sad, it's stunning to see the ways sexism has manifested itself all around the world, and how the habits persist even today, despite any solid evidence... I'm glad she was able to chase her dreams in America.
I mean the greatest thing you have done is to increase our respect for the chefs that work that hard every day for us to enjoy the meal
Alvin is always surprised when he's offered food, it cracks me up every time. 😂
I honestly wanted to cry from how cute and vibrant positivity she had through out the video.
One great job again, Alvin, you’re definitely behind the scenes beloved person, chefs always feed you with gusto 😁
I don't think it was mentioned anywhere in the video that Maki Kosaka is a more affordable offshoot of the Michelin-starred sushi restaurant Kosaka. Damn, I'd love to eat there. The sushi and maki plate looks amazing, and those grab sushi have my mouth watering! Chef Sho Boo and her team are fantastic at what they do, and this video highlights that so well. Kudos for another excellent video, Alvin!
Alvin: I like spicy food
Chef: here ya go, freshly made rayu
lol...coff coff coff....WATER!
That was moving. She seems like the best kind of leader
These videos are genuinely my favorite thing that has come out of this channel, I love seeing the behind-the-scenes action and how the staff all cares about one another. Thank you for showing us this, I can't wait for more!
I love that this series takes the time to find chefs who value all of their employees. They're not just trying to find the highest rated places that will get them views, but instead giving the spotlight here to good, talented people. This continues to be one of my favourite series on UA-cam.
Chef Sho is so wholesome, she gives off the vibe like Luffy's voice actor (if you watch one piece)
I love that she feeds them before the shift!
This was so beautifully and lovingly produced. Looking forward to more of these! I especially love the moment of seeing a glimpse of how Chef liked to end her long day (a nice drink at the end of a shift)
this is so beautiful to watch her passion, i hope i can visit her restaurant some day!!
Alvin acts like we do when we are offered food in other people's homes XD
awww she seems so sweet and genuine, the way she cooks for her staff
I feel like a series just sitting in on different restaurants' family meals would be super interesting.
As someone who learned how to make sushi for a supermarket for my first college summer break; it's definitely a skill. Rolls need to be super tight and that only comes with practice. I learned with a bamboo mat and plastic wrap (the one guy in the video was rolling with one). I can still make a mean California roll and the diet my doctor recently put me on sushi would be great (she wants me to eat more fish). Always use a little rice vinegar with your sushi rice.
"if you cook with your heart, it will be delicious" words to live by!
This chef is so energetic and encouraging, I kept smiling throughout the video :)
The joy on Alvin’s face when he’s eating the appetizer is why I love this series
Thank you Alvin for sharing this amazing chef with us She indeed is such a humble chef and person, The way she treats her staff like a family is pure delight.
i love these videos. the vibes are always immaculate. thank you Alvin!!
The amount of detail put into the food is amazing~ It all looks amazing!!
I really love this series. The cinematography, generous chef and workers, and seeing Alvin. I love that I can learn while also enjoy seeing beautiful foods.
we need a video series on the art of plating ! these dishes looked beautiful
Thank you for Creating these meet the chef videos. I really enjoy them.
The tall guy to the right of Chef Sho Boo (or her left) at 9:36 (I think his name is Sean Lee?) has so much main character energy and looks like he came straight out of anime, even with the mask. 😍
I love this series of your so much Alvin! I was so excited when we got the preview that this was coming out 😎 I love to see all of the behind the scenes amazingness that comes in these amazing restaurants
That's the kind of person you want to work for. Excited to be there, always smiling, picking up slack when it comes time, and thankful for the people she works with.
Chef Sho Boo is so great to her team!! All of the love she puts into her work, family meal, and also continually supporting her team as she shows the process to Alvin and telling him how great they’re doing is so inspiring and sweet 🥺❤️ I love this series so much
this videos just show you how passionate the chefs are
I love these master chef videos. Keep em’ coming!
Thank you for bringing the insight to resturants and chefs like these, this is very amazing :D
This episode has been the most warm and the head chef is so mother like in her approach that this video is the most heartwarming and entertaining one in the series yet
Alvin’s cinematography is compiled so well and something about it just feels so comforting. Sho Boo is so wholesome, I love her energy.
All the energy from this video is so revitalizing, I can’t wait to see the next episodes!
This video's visual tone is fantastic. It's so warm and comforting ❤️
This is the sweetest thing I’ve seen today! I’m so happy that Chef gets to do what makes her happy and proud that she overcame the obstacles ❤️
Thank you for sharing this delightful story!
She’s such a positive person! And seems like such a kind boss.
Man... Seeing you smile and enjoying the food never fails to make me smile. You just spread so much joy with your videos and your personality.
I loved the overall energy of this video and the head chef. I can tell that she treats the restaurant as her family
I have huge respect for her👏🏻....and I'm glad that she could follow her passion in America, which was not allowed in her hometown.
And I really enjoy this series , we get to see all the bts of a restaurant and stuff like that, thank you for about to eat channel for making such amazing videos
Chef is amazing! What beautiful people. The food looks out of this world!
I had no idea about the Family Meal of restaurants before watching your series. What a wonderful bonding moment. Love the joy on your face while tasting each offering.

Chef Sho Boo, please don't retire until you are in your late 90's!!!🙏🙏🙏 You are a great chef and a great person! 👍👍👍🤤🤤🤤 Keep up the good work!!!

Alvin, another great video. I enjoy them so much, thank you.
You can really feel the love and passion she puts into her work and food and it's lovely to see the trust and gratitude she has for her team. I hope I can eat here one day 😌❤️
Keep making these videos, they make me so happy and warm inside. Such a strong lady that literally face slaps all the other chefs that have told her that she can’t be a sushi chef
I love her already. What a precious soul 😁
love this series so much
what a cute special place and amazing chef! love this series!!
I love the way Chef Sho Boo treats and compliments her employees!
such a warming video ;-;
im glad to watch such a genuine and kind hearted chef and their team :>
Oh my gosh. I cannot wait to go back to New York and eat here and support this awesome team! ❤️
Impressive work - can't wait to try the place out.
I really like this series. It's quickly becoming a reason for me to visit New York City.
I've always wanted to go for a week to check out the usual tourist traps but the restaurants featured just make me want to visit more.
I'm not a huge fan of sushi and maybe that's because I've not had sushi that looks as good as this. I can only imagine what something so fresh and vibrant looking tastes like. I wish I could find somewhere local that had someone as amazing as Chef Sho Boo and her team.
The enthusiasm, the energy, she's true inspiration!
i love this series so much!!!!
Another wonderful video following another culinary artist!
i love her spirit ❤️❤️❤️
i love this series!!
Thanks for the wise motto Ms. Sho Boo.
Thanks Alvin for making this documentation.
This warms my heart.
Miss Sho is SO COOL. I love her energy!!! Just really makes you want to smile and do a good job like she does. Wow. I wanna go there and try her sushi 🥰
am i the only one in tears here.. the poetry of these dishes, paired with her leardership and spirituality AND alvin's narrative? i am deeply touched
alvin is such a talented cinematographer. i love his camera work and his narration is so calming. great work alvin :)
i love these types of videos!!!
I regret not watching this earlier! Chef Sho is such a cool person and Alvin being able to find all these cool people brings me so much joy.
