    Using live fire to produce consistent high end food in a restaurant is SO INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT!!! I am simply in awe of how easy she makes it look. Admittedly there will be a format now...still hard to learn and master...but imagine how many failed attempts and iterations the original chefs went through to get it right? Just amazing.

    All the meals featured here were super creative and delicious looking. A lot of places I’ve seen with Michelin stars have ostentatious dishes that seem to be a caricature of fine dining. These dishes are fancy, yes, but not pretentious; you can tell by the way each ingredient is utilized that the chef/culinary director isn’t just following an archetype, but creating something new. Very classy, would love to eat here.

      To each their own of course but to me it looks a bit crowded and lost. There isn't a cohesion in the dishes or a style to the restaurant, I also have to wonder why do they want to use fire to cook everything when their execution and dish style doesn't really seem to warrant it. Seems a bit more like "fire is cool"... But all in all, liked the way they handled staff meal, and hope they do well, cos even if I don't personally get it doesnt mean I wish them anything but success.

If you watch restaurant vids you’ll notice cooking with fire is the new sous vide it’s just the trend right now. They just force whatever they are making into a live fire method of cooking. These dishes aren’t designed with this cooking method as the sole approach.

      @@romeod7549 Yeah totally, I remember back in 2012-2015 when it was just a handful of places in fine dining pushing live fire. Since Burnt Ends it seems people kind of missed the whole notion that live fire cooking maybe doesn't need to exist in places where it doesn't make sense i.e: Cities. Fäviken and Asador Etxebarri were after all located in remote places. The logic of transporting all that wood just to be burnt in a city, that already feeds itself on electricty is a mindboggling idea. Guess the idea of time and place went over the heads of many cooks.
