A Day in the Life of Kevin

[@MichelleMuck555]

Kevin’s skills set are obvious and his dedication to the restaurant will be a major contribution to it’s success. And now he is proving to be a natural KZbinr host. This is a full rounded life partner. 🥰

[@HiraHaseeb]

MA Sha Allah God Bless you guys

[@crazybotches236]

Anyone know his previous experience?? He seems to be so knowledgeable and capable

[@Palmarex]

​​@@crazybotches236 he was working at Relæ a restaurant in Copenhagen under Chef Puglisi (if your not to much into restoration he was souschef at Noma), I don't know his position over there but Relæ closed in 2020 after achieving a Michelin star and a place in the top 50 World restaurant. So you can immagine he developed his skillset

[@DaestrumManitz]

I recall the initial setback loggerhead response from her parents in her choice of Kevin. He apparently didn’t meet their educational (and possibly ethnic) expectations. But, “everytings gonna be alright”. 🎶🎵😄

[@Lilianjade]

Yea boiii, go Kevin !

[@rosabergami9529]

OMG THANK YOU FOR THE 1000 LIKES

[@FlavorofMind]

This might be my fav "behind the scenes" episode at the restaurant yet! Love seeing the various steps and processes, from garden to food prep to waste disposal. Kevin has some serious talent and flow!

[@BomJai]

Kevin has a wealth of knowledge. And he he has such a calm temperament and voice that is perfectly matched for teaching that knowledge

[@karlivanr]

High key jealous of his skills, he has vast knowledge in basically about everything he does! Especially fixing electronics (the freezer), taking care of plants, multi tasking, etc., talk about maturity!

[@collintan7858]

@@Doobydobap There's no such thing. When you work for others you clock in and clock out. When you work for yourself it's your playground everyday is a play day. The system refinement stage is the most exhausting period, this will define the restaurant success. *Kevin, spent your time crafting, creating and refining. Hire a post service person/crew to clean the kitchen, take out the garbage and recycling. You're a restaurant owner, no longer an apprentice chef, delegate.

[@Timberjagi]

[@albecooks]

As a cook I really like how Kevin works, he's obviously very talented and determined. I also love the nordic style and approach: everything in season, local, low to no waste at all, minimal but wonderful plating, not too many elements in the dishes... Love it! Go Kevin!

[@lydz13]

Where I believe both Tina and Kevin are obviously necessary and integral parts of the operation, we’re only seeing it through the lense of these videos and Tina tends to be more vocal about how tired and burnt out she feels. Which makes sense since most of the videos are filmed in her perspective and who would not feel that way with everything they’ve gone through to get to this point. But even with that being said, it’s obvious how much of a dedicated and patient leader Kevin is when interacting with everyone and that’s something extremely valuable and rare to come across. It’s incredibly challenging when you work with your significant other, let alone building, owning, and operating a restaurant. I honestly am so inspired by how far they’ve come and what they’ve been able to accomplish! I wish nothing but the best for them and their AMAZING team, it’s obvious the love and care they’ve all put into this and I hope they’ll all get a moment to relax and breathe asap, knowing when you need balance and taking care of yourself is just as important as grinding and pushing through hard work ❤

[@melissamartinez3593]

Yes I agree they look like both very mature young adults I wish them both the absolute best

[@thisiskaleidoscopic]

First impression of Kevin (via snippets of him in Tina's vlog) to me was this stoic humorless danish man.. but now that we are seeing more of him now and seeing the behind the scenes of his workload.. I'm actually starting to admire him! A true multitalented chef, showcasing his professionalism with injections of humor. Hope to see more videos of Kevin!!! Thanks for this enlightening behind the scenes vlog

[@Hutty_]

Very important to show the good and the bad when it comes to these things and you capture them perfectly. Even small things like changing tables/numbers can throw off the entire flow and a lot of respect for how you show and handle these situations. I hope i get the opportunity to come to South Korea and try your food one day because the humble professionalism you guys show is very refreshing. Wishing you all the best from England.

[@Cutiepie-gl4cy]

completely agree with you, and that's something thats really been super interesting for me as i would love to open up a small restaurant with my dad in paris, definitly have some work to do on myself before going forward, cuz those kind of situations would usually stress the hell out of me lol

[@waverunner0000]

It's all a process, you can hear in the background audio @19:00 Tina was upset how she was responded to when talking about the changing tables

@@waverunner0000 Yeah break time is also time to get the resto into one mind so its normal for these things to happen, criticism always happens at this time during work hours professionalism is a skill so I hope they can work on it in the future.

[@akingsfan87]

The conflict at 19:00 is basically culture clash. You got the blunt Danish culture, which is super honest and upfront vs Korean culture which is about saving face. Both got to learn how to navigate communication so that the other person isn't offended.

[@sblbb929]

Yea, as a german it didn't make me flinch either since it's similair here. But from my own experience I immediately knew that it might get interpreted as polite hostility instead here. Best to try to be a bit less upfront, not for her because partners usual understand, but really for the people around them who don't know the cultural difference.

[@saintsataniko2116]

Yeah, I was on the same wavelength as Dooby when it came to that cucumber anecdote. I was waiting for the punchline but he was totally serious.

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

I definitely thought he was joking.

[@greenevice]

It's not true though, that law was repealed in 2009 and it wasn't as binary as he implied prior to that either. It was, however, a common myth and talking point to bash the EU.

[@whostolethechocolate]

@@greenevice However, we have to admit that no crooked cucumbers are sold still because consumers don't want them (in regular supermarkets) :(

[@seanlan3260]

Loved that you included the bit of hard conversation between you and Kevin. Every relationship has these and needs these to grow (as long as both people approach it this way).

[@kokocute123]

I love how Kevin can joke around with himself and the staff while talking about so much cooking knowledge. This was such an eye opening perspective of Kevin just talking and showing us a GRWM for a day at the resto! He really has the passion and heart to cook for people to enjoy his fresh, local creations!

[@azonnoza]

Kevin definitely has that entrepreneurial spirit and motivation. He can do a documentary, he is well spoken.

[@pulsants]

It's interesting how Tina's only comments when she appeared exhausted were, "You knew what was going to happen, your not ready for this, influencers think they can do anything .” However when Kevin is visibly tired in this video the comments claim that he is carrying the entire restaurant, poor guy, and if he leaves the entire thing will fall apart. I just think that people don’t give the same compassion and kindness to Tina as they do Kevin.

[@LunaVioletta7]

This! Both are equally talented in their own rights. Also, the internet / society has always been harsher on women than men, generally speaking. This is unfortunate.

[@kaiju_k5042]

And working together in such an intense environment that the hospitality business is, is not easy.

That clip around 19:00 should have been edited out I guess? "Please dont criticize me...". I dont really feel the love between them tbh.

[@jinmyung]

Living, working, and having an investment together changes the dynamics of a relationship. It would challenge the strongest of relationships. On top of that, they’ve been working non stop since they’ve bought the property so I’m sure they have not had time to just be a couple without thinking about all the things they need to accomplish.

[@stay-frosty1126]

There was a snippet where along the lines you were telling Kevin not to belittle/scold you. I don’t think Kevin meant to come across that way! I think he meant it as a lesson to the team that if anyone is going to make a big change to an existing process, be sure to communicate it before you execute the change so it doesn’t have unintended negative downstream impact on the rest of the team! He loves you and the team so I’m sure he had positive intentions!

[@sblbb929]

It's also cultural. Danish are very honest and direct. In many other cultures, especially some asian, you're not that direct. So when you tell them upfront and neutral they'll interpret it down a notch. So a danish neutral info-dump is read as polite hostility/scolding in other cultures. I remember a german friend of mine told his NZ girlfriend's mother "the food was good" everytime he visited, and apparently she interpreted it as "the food was only okay" and kept making something else everytime until they figured out the misunderstanding
