I adore Passard. To even have the guts to make a dish without added salt... That’s an unbelievable level of confidence in your ingredients.

[@notmyfaultthisishappening3795]

Why? Lobster from the sea is incredibly salty by nature. Simmering the lobster extracts much of the salt into the surrounding broth.

[@maniswolftoman]

@@notmyfaultthisishappening3795 I don’t think that statement needs refining. It’s pretty obviously clear what I’m saying.

[@ajitkirpekar4251]

agreed that it is!@@maniswolftoman

[@DoctorMcHerp]

Ludo's face at 0:58 "This motherfucker is STILL schooling me on some shit."

[@nicobzh2604]

yeah, you can see his left eye tilt a bit xd

[@LiteBluBeltBoy]

I've watched this 6 times now. There's something so intimate about the way Alain cooks. I'm so drawn to it.

[@ccchen-kq2kz]

true, keep coming back for this

[@jdl7181]

it looks and smells like christmas, a warm hearted dish for the (rich) family

[@jdl7181]

i recommend you the vi of chef Masa cooks at home, i got the same feeling

[@LukeBeacon]

As soon as he put that smoked carcass back into the stock, I knew it was gonna be a masterpiece.

[@tacomadavis2005]

Agreed! the layering of flavors is superb 👌

[@ledsmash]

The broth is like god-nectar

[@amywind7173]

Agreed

[@gijsphilip]

Cooking is not following the recipe, it's instinct. I love it.

[@hellacooook]

Large batch cooking very instinctual

[@ekrilwOw]

Alain Passard makes me realize that some chefs really are artists!

[@richardkennethantolin7016]

Chefs are painters, the plate is our canvass...

[@tonydetuna1923]

Sergei Or That YOU are an idiot.

[@maniswolftoman]

No no no... Chefs are like mechanics. When does a painter listen to their painting? We are artisans whose creations die in minutes. Bach, Vermeer, art lasts centuries, food lasts minutes.

[@andrewgrandahl]

So much intention, paired with thoughtful and precise technique and immaculate execution...this guy is the Michelangelo of food.

[@paoh5267]

This video is about someone who is passionate in his craft and a student still wanting to learn from his superior's passion. Well done video that can be applied to anything in the world, not just cooking.

[@wei2190sd]

This is not cooking... it´s art

[@caribbeanpot]

I'm no fan of lobster, but THIS!

[@JasonAJohn]

caribbeanpot Whattup Chris, big fan of your work!

[@ardentdfender4116]

That is one stunning video and of cooking that lobster dish! Wow!

[@svm5604]

Gold.

[@BarryAdams777]

Mmmmmm!!!! Such an education, here!!! Thank you!!!!

[@markroberts2378]

He is one of the World's best chef's no doubt! Cant wait to go to his restaurant when it reopens.

[@lotharschramm5000]

Well he's amazing... but I hope you got money to burn because... he's really REALLY expensive.

[@BentLeey]

"Painters paint all day long." "Cooks cook all day long." If there aren't any truer words!

[@00pinkdemon00]

This is amazing! i never cooked lobster before but now i want to

[@johanisdjaja6129]

this is amazing.. i want to taste it so bad..

[@mattclark8746]

Thank you Mind of a Chef! Your show(and Chef's Table) are culinary crack. When will we see Ludo on Netflix on demand? I think David Kinch is as far as it goes. I need MORE!!

[@kevod09]

Stupendous Chef 🥰

[@wonderingmeintp6719]

Temperature of love

[@Shornetastic]

Beautiful

[@ash072]

Great vid! Love the care they use when cooking. Side note: Francis Mallman is also a master of flame/fire cooking. Check him out if you get a chance.

[@ash072]

Oh yeah! THAT's where I saw it! :)

[@CarloCuh]

i had alrrady contributed about 30 views to this video. this man really shows that cooking is an art.

[@Spainkiller]

Wow. Fucking wow.

[@billymayshere1454]

This guy makes Gordon Ramsey look like a one-star chef

[@deanban]

Well to be fair, Ramsey's style is more rustic. And he's also a three-star chef. If you ever go to his original restaurant on hospital road in London, the food there is very artistic as well. I read one of his interviews somewhere, and it said he'll never put those recipes on tv because they are impossible to replicate in an ordinary home. Then again, Allain Passard can make anybody in the world look like a one-star chef. LOL.

[@captainjim1010]

Ramsey is a joke compared to Passard

[@botaoli6684]

passard used to be the king and is still amongst the greatest by any rank even up to this day，that means something

[@Dominicancali]

Gordon Ramsey cant compare

[@sohaminyoh]

Gordon Ramsay is clearly the better chef. Gordon Ramsay’s best restaurant has been more consistent compared to Passard’s

[@Nothing-qq4hd]

I worked under Ludo he is a genius and so is passard. I simply serve to the architect

[@bludika]

why did you leave?

[@dmitrilopuhhin6190]

I believe mister lobster enjoyed the spa treatment ;) love this show, it is at the very top

[@DrinkWater713]

They killed the lobster before putting it in the pan, right ?

[@darkangelcloud7]

Now you gotta eat it slowly and beautifully

[@nicolaodoroso3703]

Great

[@pppppplll780]

We have this soup in the philippines similar technique to this. We would smoke and lightly grill pork or chicken then add to the soup. Its rich and smoky

[@murilocruz7752]

Can you tell me what the name of the soup is?

[@wei2190sd]

Alain is a genius

[@Argi-em]

odd question here. does anyone know what glasses frames alian passard is wearing in the video?

[@bigbyallsmay8992]

This was so pretty!!!

[@cooltatum20]

Remembering Chef Jacques Pepin making this, onboard Oceania..

[@brigbjones]

Alain is like the culinary bob ross

[@csablan3829]

All it needs now is some ranch, hot sauce, and bacon bits. Perfection.

[@zukacs]

amazinff

[@daanmacvictory]

Anyone who owns a Netflix account, go watch Chefs Table France. There's an episode on him and his restaurant.

[@daanmacvictory]

i want the recipe

[@crownlands7246]

Experience meets an open mind = maybe new stuff may emerge

[@francisrockstar2000]

before Alain was considered the number 1Chef in the world

[@Freikorptrasher]

He is the FINAL challenger in Iron Chef against Japan best Iron Chef, to achieve that accolade is quite an achievement.

[@juandelacruz-ny6xy]

this is real cooking no laser stuff bullshit.

[@NarutoUzumaki-ky2in]

I see Jeremy Clarkson, i Upvote

[@vedantamberkar1267]

I am always scared that if I don't learn French I won't be a good chef.

[@petertso]

Why don't you siff the stock?

[@SeeMeFlee]

Rip lobster

[@Flyingxxe]

I know that you barely put salt in seafood before I was 10 years old....

[@billyjoeidel2]

I can’t get over how bad that one guys beard is. Note to editor: reduce closeups of his face, ty

[@markroberts2378]

It's a cooking programme , not a beauty contest!

[@mondoprime]

I'm sure it's delicious, but it looks like something my dog would cough up after eating grass.

[@seurinfrancois802]

pas d agression to much lepipot

[@superdan422]

This is a load of hoopla

[@oopopp]

Last time he cooked lobster was OVER 20 years ago??? He must NOT shop for his own ingredients... not that great a chef in my eyes now....

[@bingus160]

oopopp x I think they meant the last time ludo cooked lobster *with* paissard

[@Not3xactly]

this may be the most pretentious food video Ive ever seen

[@rumpus2000]

it's pretentious to be passionate?

[@Anotation1]

because you my friend, know nothing of food nor Mr Alain Passard here.

[@TheDarwiniser]

always this guy.

[@tonydetuna1923]

Not3xactly lean foward, bent over slightly and WHISPER as you touch the food. At the end blown kiss towards the sky.

[@ryancube15]

This may be the most pretentious comment I've ever seen.

[@takiemono]

sometimes people need to shut up and cook. all this bla bla bla like poetry talk doesn't make no sense.

[@mg6924]

Beautiful
