  • It’s been a while since I’ve worked a service in a busy kitchen. Last weekend, I went back to my old stomping ground at ST. ALi in Melbourne, Australia to see how long I could last back on the pass. Thanks to the everyone at ST. ALi for letting me get in the way during a hectic weekend breakfast shift. Cheers to the baristas who kept me caffeinated.

    Love longer format videos! The longer the better of showing restaurant cooking. To many channels do home food. Not enough channels doing restaurant style food!! Love your channel!

    As a chef myself, it’s great to see a true representation of a real kitchen environment during service. Big props

    Love this. Reminds me of when Anthony Bourdain spent a day at his old haunts. Awesome to see chef really get down with those skills.

    As a former chef, I kind of miss the rush of service, 26 years in the industry was good enough for me. Now I enjoy cooking for the most ruthless critics, my two young daughters 😅 covid lockdowns was the short-circuit I needed to get off that merry-go-round. I realised i missed out on alot of my family time especially when my girls were young. I'm now able to explore baking sourdough, making puff pastry, pies 🥧 And just plain experimenting. Good luck on your journey, Chef Andy 👨‍🍳

    love the longer videos and also love seeing pro cooks at the pass. such an insanely hard profession, as a humble home cook i'd probably be wheezing or dead by the end of a service. amazing work chef!

    I have to say, even though im out of the kitchen these days, i still miss that rush of service, i mean, i dont miss it so much to ever go back, but its nice to watch a video or three of chefs doing their thing, its truely unique to work at speed but with intention and perfection.

    I really like your videos because I can really see the tremendous amount of work you have done all these years and what really means being a cook. No holidays, extreme hard work, pressure all the time. I'm sincerely in awe. So much for those wannabe youtube chefs cooking from mother's basement. They wouldn't last an hour in a professional kitchen. Much Love from Italy
