@@SD-hc4nj they mus thave cut that video after that lomg silence. I watched the video and can understand his reaction to the comment. Due to the long rigorous training it takes to be a sushi chef key alone a star chef is difficult and is considered a sign of disrespect in Japanese culture.
i love this guys humility... saying that theres tons of places doing better than him..but he is doing the very best to respect the product and process is just too pure and wholesome
As an italian, it's awesome to see a foreigner have so much passion about the craft. When he talks about the prosciutto scenario he is starting, you can see the frustration of wanting to do well and also let everyone understand the massive investment of time and money there's behind. I love the dude and i just want to tell him: I feel ya bro, keep doing good.
@@KhazandarSince you replied to this comment 2 years late, I’ll reply to you 2 years late too. It matters because this is a part of Italian history and culture, going back even further than the humble tomato sauce (by at least 1,000 years or so). To see someone respecting and enjoying a piece of your culture from another country must be a very nice but humbling feeling. It’s relevant
Most people have no clue what goes into curing meats. Over seas there are family's that have several generations that cured meats are all they do. It's not for those with weak mindsets.
The owner seems extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of his process of these fine meats.. I like his detailed information about each item he spoke about. He seems to be a perfectionist.
I was raised a vegetarian but you just simply cannot stop yourself from appreciating how much of passion these guys have for the food they serve. That’s visually delightful and I bet tastes good too. Blessed are those who are able to enjoy the finest of foods and also not criticise others for their dietary choices
Hey there! Usually don't do this, but hey. I'm a life long farmer, and a life long hunter. I'll tell you a secret, and I suspect you may be surprised. First and foremost, let me be perfectly clear! I have absolutely zero issues with vegans. Obviously, vegans and fellow plant eaters, keep my combines and trucks running. Without plant eaters, I wouldn't be able to make the living that I am Soo fortunate to have. ALTHOUGH.... I do take "serious" issue with certain vegans (not you) that try to stake their (laughable)superior intellect, and morals above and beyond my fellow hunters & and meat eaters due to the simple fact that they choose not to eat animals. Ok, with that said.. I do feel the (odd-ish) need, to exspose a few dark Ray's of sunshine. The truth is, I care about animals. I care ALOT about animals. However, the sad truth is, I will take more lives from living breathing creatures within the first 20 minutes of harvest, then I could ever take in a hundred lifetimes of hunting. Yes!!! That does sound crazy!! but absolutely 100% factual. I do wish there was a way to mass produce crops for the world without death. But right now that just isn't in the realm of possibility. No, vegans may not have pulled the trigger persa, but blood is still 100% still on their hands. Just remember (again not you personally) every time you criticize animal death, remember. Rabbits, quail, phesant, snakes, mice, deer,elk,coyote,antalope (usually babies) thousands of eggs, billions of insects, ECT ECT.... We're slaughtered in order to put that corn or loaf of bread, ECT on your plate. Again, not aimed at you personally. Just something to think about.
I don't eat pork. But I love how technical he is about his process, and how brutally honest he is about his reasons for doing/not doing stuff. I wish I had the real estate/capital for a full blown charcuterie operation.
I think it's valuable to use whole animal rather than just making specific cuts, I think it shows a lot more respect to the animal and also creates a lot less waste and needless butchering for parts that aren't even going to be used
rotom223 yeah I think that it is important that someone uses all the meat, even if it isn’t presentable, as usually most famous restaurants use just the claw and tail of lobster, not the legs and other meat. If you don’t use the entire body of the animal, then don’t buy it all
Mad respect for John. Dude only wants to put out the best of the best for his customers and will not compromise. That’s what we (as consumers/foodies) need instead of appeasing every single person that walks through a restaurants door. If I ever visit the east coast I’ll definitely be hitting his spot for great food.
Tell that to daquan and his mom who works 3 jobs just to live off food stamps and pay for her kids school supplies. The hipster food movement is so douchey for so many different reasons. But you just beautifully highlighted the main one
@@jamesnevius2276 why don't you go pawn your mac or iPhone or whatever you wrote this comment on, and go give the money to that mom? are you insinuating poor people don't care about animals or where their food comes from? and why did you say Daquan? and who's working 3 jobs just to live off food stamps to pay for school supplies? i guess you just wanted to go on the attack for no reason.
The meat expert with the beard is absolutely amazing in a few senses...... his clarity and knowledge and then his honesty ....I would pay whatever price from you in a heartbeat ....Thank you so much.
My local italian butcher adds a tiny sprinkle of ground strong dark coffee and roasted 100% cocoa powder to his batches. It may sounds insane but his Copa is actually *really* good.
@viodio tutti why are Italians so hellbent on tradition, if you're a real chef you try new things. regurgitating the same dishes being made for 100 years hardly makes you skilled.
Just visited this place 1 hour ago, super friendly and professional!!! The meat is to die for 😍😍😍 I took many different meat and cheeses to try out, they handed me a few pieces to try it melted in my mouth lmao, sooooo good!
This new show is absolutely beautiful and the guys really know their stuff. Being that these gentlemen are professional butchers , l would love to see a video where they cook all the different cuts of steak and explain , which ones are better rare and which ones are better medium rare and which ones are better cooked a bit more. It would be most helpful to home Cooks like myself who make steak on a weekly basis
I really like that guy. Glad to see someone doing something they love, believe in, and have the skills to be great at. If he isn't careful, he might just wind up being happy. While making delicious salami. Great job.
Brent and Ben are such fantastic hosts. I watch these things over and over mostly because they're so much fun, but it also helps that I end up learning a lot in the process. Oh, and meat is nice.
Ratliff is a beast, passionate and undersrand the hum interaction of being a true artist and showing emotions 8’ what he does! I love the retail side of it!
This is what UA-cam is all about; Content created to share knowledge, passion, culture. A great change to the usual "look at my, i am an "influencer" and i make a lot of money which i spend stupidly!"
We really hope you love the behind the scenes look at the world of meat processing and all the crazy characters involved. Our own master butchers, Ben and Brent of The Meat Hook, are going to heading back to their shop to do some of their own meat-based experimentation. Is there anything you'd like to see them try and make?
I had the pleasure of meeting John at their Essex Market location while on vacation in NY this year and it was honestly one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. He was super chill and down to earth, he gave us a complimentary side dish alongside some of the salami featured in this video. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking out an awesome place to dine or just some amazing meat
That is the face of someone who has had years of experience giving people his 100% undivided attention. Very good people skills. With the exception of that licking thing he did LoL
I don't even know anything about meat besides how I like my steak and burgers cooked but just this guys passion towards his craft was enough to keep me watching.
Good job on not paying attention, the host says they make sausage and don't make salami. The guy with the beard or John Ratliff is showing the hosts how he makes salami.
Props to this guy for obv having passion for what he does, and staying humble in the process🤙🏾
na its cocaine
yeah he is keeping it real, loved the prosciutto where he is like wtf is this customer talking about
Cocaine is a musy
his products are very amazing and the prices are way way better than the other big companies. I love supporting small businesses.
I'm liking this. The hosts stay quiet and let the expert do his explaining. This is a good show if it keeps going like this :)

Never realized there was so much work to make these meats. This was some cool insight into that.
I'd go and chew on his meat.
I love curing meats. God willing I get my own meat shop one day.
Most people have no clue what goes into curing meats. Over seas there are family's that have several generations that cured meats are all they do. It's not for those with weak mindsets.
it's not that much, you're just not familiar with the words and process.
It's pretty easy actually.
Ratliff's passion for his craft really shines through. Quality content.
This craftsman's humility is why his product is so good, it is the rare touch that rises above the rest. I could watch this all day.
The owner seems extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of his process of these fine meats.. I like his detailed information about each item he spoke about. He seems to be a perfectionist.

Gabriel Martins wild pork is great meat but sadly most farmed pork isn’t natural anymore
watching this makes me want to hug a vegan and thank them for leaving more meat like this for me.
Yes Chuck, YES.
It makes no difference.
Funny
To admit there's better is the sign of a humble man goodluck to him and his meat

Everyone should know where their food comes from. Respect the animal your meal came from.

"The Prosciutto Scenario" is my favorite Robert Ludlum novel

They should close that place down
Coffee and Cocoa in salami?? Sounds awful. Someone is taking advantage of ya son.
@viodio tutti Why? Because he has the balls to go beyond dogmatic, narrowminded traditionalism? Pfft. xD

"I'll go ahead and redo all the stuff you guys did, but don't worry about it." OMG that had me rolling.
I hope John's business, and many others like him are doing okay in this pandemic.
The humility and respect for the product really gets me.
Really great episode, you can tell how passionate John is for his product, and his customers too. Will have to pop in next time we're in NYC!

This Butcher is awesome. He has True passion. Very humble. And what a Beautiful product.
He may be just starting out, but his end product looked great to me. I wish him success in this venture.

"The spice is nice-uh" that made me bust a gut.
John Ratcliff is a master ... I love his ideas and his passion ... just amazing
I had no idea there were species of Staph that were ok to put in food
nrok113 I searched for a comment to confirm it was weird he used staph. 😂
Sean Cole same lol
Something has to bind it all together and allow it to last
Yeah he said staphylococcus and I was like wait WHAT? WTF?!
We eat moldy cheese, so...
Humble, hard-working and full of knowledge. Success to you, sir.
dont know why but these salami and sausage videos have been great
Love seeing that level of passion in a chosen craft. You know he is living his dream.
Nice, this chef is repping New Mex. Hat's off you you my good sir
That man is a genius and he loves what he does. Best combination in the world!
I bet it smells sooooo good in there
Lonzo Ball it actually smells a bit like roadkill, in all honesty.
Brent and Ben are such fantastic hosts. I watch these things over and over mostly because they're so much fun, but it also helps that I end up learning a lot in the process. Oh, and meat is nice.
I'm curious why I don't see Salo (cured pork fat) in American butcher shops. I loved chewing on that stuff when I was little back in Russia.
Not an American thing.
you can clearly see that this guy puts his soul in the making of his products, if i ever go to the USA ill make sure to visit his shop
Whenever he described the taste of his products with the F word, I know it's delicious!
Deli is not only Delicatessen but Delicious too :)
this man should be so proud of what he is doing. the culinary world depends on people who are passionate about the product they create.
