Day in a Life of Prep Cook: Working in a Michelin Recommended Kitchen

[@HeyAstor]

OMG I didn't know how much I missed Ryan chilling in the kitchen doing his thing until now

[@tycanuck]

3:08 Adorable chef tummy spotted!

[@Maventc]

Love to watch your day in a life contents

[@ohwowoh7281]

Love seeing you back!

[@avertingapathy3052]

Your work ethic, attention to detail and general honesty and vulnerability is inspiring. Impressive LoFi chill session edit as well. I get a feeling that many are watching this as a substitute for working :)

[@billycarroll9153]

We missed this Ryan. Welcome back.

[@GabrielSavala-pd7qx]

Glad to see you moving and grooving in the kitchen

[@SeaSergio]

Good to see you making a video

[@arieldelrosario6389]

I deduce you work at Farmers Apprentice? Using Filipino inspired flavours! Love it! I own a resto in Edmonton with the same approach - introducing Filipino flavours and ingredients to our menu. So delicious yet so underrepresented

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Very under represented and under appreciated!! So much culture!

[@ivanchriscastillon1346]

Where are you in edmonton chef? Im a filipino

I need the know the recipe for the chilli pumpkin seed aciento man. The thought of it makes my mouth water.

[@cityonfoot6023]

I love your restaurant prep vids. You seem to keep falling in and out of love with cooking for restaurants. I hope this time feels better. TC

[@pokipup]

[@coachab100]

Glad to see you back !

It’s so nice to see a new video on the channel! Also, the title is giving ‘The Bear’.

[@wehojm7320]

Watching you is almost meditative even though I realize it’s all long hours and a lot of hard work.👍🙏

[@berlin-runner]

Great job - thanks for showing Ryan - I love it!

[@Derek-hv8jn]

Would love to see more of these videos on your channel....will be waiting for the next one🤞

[@obsidian00]

After a decade + spent outside of the Kitchen, I started back ON THE LINE as a "Prep Cook" at an Italian spot here in Boca Raton, Florida...everything hurts but, it feels good to be back! hanks for the video!

[@mori7975]

I’m in boca and I just applied to be a prep cook!

[@lliamjurdom9505]

Always nice to see Ryan

[@ponkan4132]

Man you sure know what your doing. Awesome Ryan, you look right at home doing this again. Cheers man

[@thatfluffeebunneh]

everyone deserves time to step away and reflect. glad to see you back!

[@damonmorris5874]

Hey Ryan I find these videos so soothing!! Thanks for sharing👍

[@50Street21]

Watching this video, I would equate to a visual symphony, Ryan. It all came together so eloquently. Thoroughly enjoyable. Cheers! Darryl

[@INDIEMUSICGUY1966]

Doing prep can be relaxing...working the line during service is pure stress

[@levisharman4055]

What made you go back Into kitchens? I'm in a similar boat, last 5 years in kitchens. Fell in love with coffee and had a few months as a barista. Unfortunately the business was a startup and failed so I've had to go back into kitchens. As always, love the videos and have a good one 😊

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Happy Halloween, Ryan. You got a lot accomplished. Your dough always looks amazing. So bubbly. Love how focused and methodical you are. Love a prep for service video. Thanks so much for sharing.

Amazing chef. Amazing video. Amazing technique. ❤❤❤

[@jakealden2517]

Thanks for the video Ryan. You should try to post more often, maybe even show us some simple meals to cook at home.

[@calvind2054]

Miss your videos Ryan. Can you make them more often, please.

[@eclectic345]

Is it just me or seeing the batches of bread dough thinking ' aww their cute'? Haha. All the sounds and visuals are awesome. Keep it up.

[@Henry-ob2pz]

Those breads just looks beautiful.

[@khadijahasan2150]

Hi. Random question: we are a farm about to do our first lettuce delivery (mixed leaves) to a high end restaurant. Which of the following ways would win us points for delivering it correctly: 1. plastic bag, 2. polycarbonate food pan lined with paper towel (or no liner?), 3. SS food pan lined with paper towel (or no liner?), or 4. other?

[@avertingapathy3052]

Is it the controlling chaos addiction? Seems like many are compulsive and just operant condition themselves with high stress.@@RyanDeanDexton They also happen to have good taste, but the dark twisted affinity for kitchen work runs pretty deep in some and for others it's just an environment to channel their energy and avoid jail. Probably a fine line between them and you can't be good as without having love for at least a small fraction of the job like produce or cooking techniques and at least a few acquaintances, I don't think the kitchen nightmare is survivable long term. Probably better for the masochists than therapy until they actually need therapy.

[@drwcfields]

Welcome Back.

[@bradgee5216]

More! More!

[@mtate02]

Thanks for taking us along Ryan! 😊 Always love watching you in your Day in the Life uploads and hope to see many more! 💛 BTW, is there a chance you could give us your learned opinion/review of 'The Bear' drama series at some stage? Cheers mate 👍

His movements 😮‍💨

[@SatansYardsale]

My god I miss being prep, especially morning prep. No one fucks with you, you get to taste everything, no orders, no detailing everything after having your ass kicked, just knocking out batches and prepping sauces and seasonings then bye-bye. Good times.

[@zAtt1337]

fuck man this is like having stage at this restaurant. love this

I feel exhausted after 2 hours of prepping. I don't know how he does it. Lots of stamina and endurance.

[@tangentreverent4821]

Is there a difference between Michelin recommend and Michelin starred?

[@Ridermeduza]

I'd like to know as well.

[@JesseRuiz-mh9bn]

So I'm gonna try and explain this to the best of my knowledge. There is michelin recommended, bib and then the stars. Recommended just means they use quality ingredients to execute a good meal but the meal wasn't at the level to be awarded a star if that makes sense.

[@tangentreverent4821]

@@JesseRuiz-mh9bn I thought it would be something along that line

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Yes! Recommend is basically just a decent meal you can rely on a good time. Bib Gourmand is great food for a reasonable price, (it's been said that these are often critics favourites), and stars are the most prestigious awards you can receive. One star is worth a stop, two stars is worth going out of your way for, and three stars is an absolute must try.
