A Day at Chicago’s Only Michelin Star Indian Restaurant | On The Line | Bon Appétit

[@robinoozor]

The truffle guy's showing his stash like someone showcasing premium narcotics 😄 Beautiful showcase of Indian food. Keep it coming.

[@shundawallace6755]

I was thinking the exact same thing! Did he get them legally!

[@OB-LA]

A lot of truffle vendors have that vibe, probably because they’re carrying around possibly tens to hundreds of thousands of $ of product at any given time. And YES, most of them are packing heat for real.

[@oedalis]

Curry and tikka and naan are all great but I do enjoy seeing a wider variety of Indian food!

[@npai6612]

No it doesn't

[@yugmathakkar4023]

What exactly is Indian about whatever they showcased in this video tho?

[@anothertarnishedone5960]

I don´t see almost anything Indian in this food; is more French cuisine with some Indian ingredients (and truffles and caviar are not of those)

[@rutikpatil7771]

As a indian, there was never anything in india called "curry" It's just made up word by britishers What we have is gravy(thicker version of soup) or broth(liquid version of soup) containing spices,chilly powder, turmeric,etc

[@ananyasaxena2254]

Incredible gem in the already top notch Chicago food scene. Love how they honor Indian flavors with their unique flare. Eaten here twice and been highly impressed each time. Go team Indienne!!

[@nida.17]

The harmony & respect among the team is amazing. The guy selling truffles seems like he's doing it for the Italian mafia. I can't wait to check this place out.

[@bouchonaise124135]

Beautiful food. I want everything. Completely deserving of the Michelin stars.

[@anothertarnishedone5960]

I have the feeling that most of these fine dining restaurants end up being the same: American attempt at French cuisine. Some use a few different ingredients, like this one, but in the end all is sous-vide, scallops, caviar, truffles, etc...

[@mango-strawberry]

yeah lol. 😂😂

[@NomSauce]

I think Indian attempt at French cuisine would be more accurate no? Or fusion, whatever is the more appropriate wording. Imo it's the main issue I have with a lot of "fine dining" and or michelin star restaurants, it's primarily french style cuisine. I think it's very unfortunate that the michelin star has so much power as it does cause it feels like it attempts to homogenise all manners of cooking-cultures rather than embrace the differences.

[@anothertarnishedone5960]

@@NomSauce I was speaking in general in the first part of my comment. Yeah, this looks like an Indian attempt at French cuisine.

[@sourabhchikode575]

Bro's Indian restaurant name is 'Indienne' - which is French word for Indian 😅

[@muntjunk-plk3171]

Indian cuisine with French haute-cuisine technique. It’s Michelin starred. Not sure what’s hard to understand about that

[@randyschwaggins]

Not his restaurant

[@sourabhchikode575]

@@muntjunk-plk3171 I am trying to understand - why an Indian restaurant is named in French on an English speaking country ? My guess is the French name is just to get the Michelin star, which concludes that the food won't be authentic Indian if they are ready to name the Indian restaurant in French

[@sekharapramod7819]

@@sourabhchikode575 French sounds more 'elegant' in English, that's why a lot of upscale places have French or French-sounding names. It works the same way in India, where English names are 'posher' sounding than native names. Now that English-named places are becoming more affordable to the middle classes, you see French and Italian names popping up more for expensive restaurants.

[@sourabhchikode575]

@@sekharapramod7819 that's what I already replied - if they are naming a place completely inconsistent of it's actual roots/meaning, then what else compromises/changes are made to the food in it. By the way- English named restaurants in India are most of the time famous for their ambiance, and not for their authenticity. Authentic traditional tasty Indian food is still made in India at Indian named restaurants.

[@Mac2095]

Wait is it? As in small or large? How many people do they seat? I don’t know anything about Michelin star service, so idk how many servers they have on each night and if they even have sections or one table per server that rotates 2 or 3 times per service… …I’m imagining all of the cooks are full time, which is why I ask about the servers specifically. I’m sure this kitchen could have like 8-10 total staff, but I have no clue about the rest of the service they offer there (or at any Michelin star restaurant tbh) 🤔

[@FishyMango]

@@Mac2095 Most Michelin restaurants tend to not have too many part-timers or rotating staff because more people = less consistency

[@shandadee4077]

As someone with no experience in the food service industry, it seems like these chefs have 12+ hour shifts. Do they have longer breaks in between? Or more off days than other jobs? Otherwise this seems like a kind of stress you cant do for long...
