    I’m only at 2:09, but I wanna say: I train people at every job I’ve ever had, and trying to train while working at a fast pace is a big fuckn challenge. I’m an expeditor and when we get busy there is absolutely no time to train; every second of my time is relegated to mental and physical organization of plates, calling hands, selling tickets, cleaning, garnishing, quality control, time management of every station in the kitchen, etc. Trying to train on top of doing something complicated and fast-paced is an added layer of stress, so before even watching this I wanna shout out the chef they have on.

    It’s neat to see the whole process explored without it being cut off to meet the deadline. That feels weirdly true to life. Anyone who is trying a recipe or technique for the first time will inevitably end up in overtime going “How do people DO this so fast??” It gives me appreciation for the skill while also making the recipe feel accessible. An amateur CAN make this…….it’s just really dang hard.

    I am really in love with this show idea. I think Kwesi did incredible, and Monique was really kind and patient with him. Even though I'm sure it was incredibly stressful for them, this gave a much less chaotic vibe than WAR, and I like that for a change of pace (love WAR, just never enjoyed the seemingly lack of time to actually make a lot of things). As someone that also would never personally attempt this kind of thing, this made it seem possible. Obviously it's not top tier quality, but for being someone that doesn't do stuff like that? I couldn't believe how well Kwesi was able to follow along and the end result I think was definitely 10/10.

    I love this so much! Tempering chocolate is so hard and I'm so impressed with Kwesi being able to do it and his wife's reaction at the end was priceless. I love Monique and she was one of my favorite judges on WAR

    Being trained in a kitchen and having someone cooking or baking with you that’s not trained is such a testing of patience. It sort of feels like working with a child. I suppose being trained in anything and having someone that has no clue working with you is like that. I give Monique such credit for doing this. Teaching is so hard and big credit to teachers too. And credit to anyone willing to learn. Dang, this video really opened my eyes. I wasn’t ready for this today ❤

    I think this was such a phenomenal video, hats off to both Monique and Kwesi! This was also such a brilliant way to show that while making Michelin food at home can be done, it's still tedious work and incredibly technical, no wonder Kwesi said he would just buy them instead of going through the trouble of making them again, despite doing so well. I have so much respect for Monique for being so thorough in her instructions and making such quality sweets at the same time, that's so impressive! Those bonbons must be worth every cent and I have a newfound respect for anyone in the food service industry.

    Kwesi mebtioned in the croissant episode of without a recipe that Courtney won a croissant conpetition in Paris which suggests she has some sort of culonary background or at least knows a lot about food. Knowing that adds even more weight to her reaction because she seemed genuinely impressee

    WHAT WOULD'VE MADE THIS PERFECT & HILARIOUS, is once finishing w Monique, Kwesi had to turn around and be the head chef to a new sous chef. See if he remembered.
    I LOVED seeing this pilot tho. Kwesi, Monique, & Courtney did fabulously together. For balance, it would've been nice to get something more after the finishing touches of building. Would've loved more discussion on the experience, like someone else said maybe more commentary from Monique about the breakdown of the pitfalls or narrow misses, maybe her reaction to his try. Something more than done & over.
