Dessert at Alinea

[@failuretocommunicate8690]

OK, nice show. Now what's for dessert?

[@davidzhang6152]

Thomas Loktionoff...the guy on the left is Grant Achatz...the chef patron of Alinea...so yes, the guy on the left is more experienced.

[@ambercao3011]

It was like a giant plate with a giant decoration. Impressive !!!

[@TheSurviver2]

it's art and sophistication at it's best!

[@symbae2887]

After 17-21 courses I don't think anyone would mind a dessert that is small... This restaurant also isn't just a "come eat, get full, go home" place... The quality of the food is beyond and as far as I'm aware it aims to integrate science and showcase more modernised food and style... If your looking for a burger and onion rings followed by ice cream that's been purchased from a store then this isn't your place...

[@tjschmidt5577]

Hot take!!!!

[@KRYDRMS]

holy crap. I just ate a snickers bar and now i'm watching this.

[@Frouza]

That's true. I'd like to add about the price of the meal that Marco Pierre White has said that back in the days that when it came up to make the prices for the dishes he just made them up, and he just thought it would be important to be the most expensive restaurant in britain.. So I wouldn't say the price is because of the quality of the dish etc.

[@bygnahzdivad]

How come they don't serve some sort of bread/cake with the dessert? Wouldn't it be pretty difficult to eat with just a spoon?

[@SuperJusticealiyah]

when they brought out the steaming barnacle i was done

[@TheMazeTheA]

no it is a Silicone rubber on the table that makes the chocolate sauce into square shapes

[@brandonrosenblum]

Between $210 and $265 depending on the day

[@chriscroft3637]

I want to see a video that includes someone actually eating it... how the f do you eat it?!?

[@andrewalacarte2906]

with utensils.

[@Combobreaker100]

How would YOU eat it

[@Superstarfruit888]

how FUN!

[@moOswe]

Eating directly off on the tabe?! Finally a resturant where I wont have to wear pants when I eat!

[@wwild2k]

Guy on right side fails in decorating, guy on the left is clearly more experienced and worked longer there.

[@miltonparedes5883]

He's literally the owner 😂

[@elisharayonez6514]

how does the chef make the square drops!!!

[@marlonhernandez8367]

Elisha Rayonez i think they push it to the sides as they are pouring it out and the consistency of it helps shape it.

[@gangcheng6316]

The tablecloth shapes the drops’ turning them into squares.

[@zammmerjammer]

"Your dessert of cloned Tasmanian Tiger tears steeped in a 3,000-year-old Aztec wine made from the blood of innocents sacrificed atop a Sun Temple that no longer exists, has been atomized into a fine mist that we will now be wafting towards your table for the next 2.5 minutes. Breathe deeply, everyone."

[@KenChiwo]

and so you think it's not worth eating/paying for the meal due to it's price?

[@awang5594]

a creme brulee that sets at the table... god damn genius.

[@dsax]

They forgot to put the lobster in the middle.

[@sisisisi1111]

@zhangvict1 i think it's the molecular structure of the sauce that makes it look like this

[@zure90]

@tevvytevv they also have those simple great tasting dishes. this is the dessert course and a lot of people like extravaganza desserts. there are plenty of other restaurants out their for you to go to if you do not like this kind of food

[@sisisisi1111]

awesome!

[@M055155]

ART

[@fajcit]

How many people was this for, it seems like 3 but im not sure...

[@thelomster]

What if I want to take this "to go"?

[@murtle3]

it has to do with the molecular structure of the chocolate and its reaction to the type of material they lay over the table before presenting the dessert

[@Anhle909]

How are you suppose to eat it?

[@panikeerder]

yes

[@loganvedquam9715]

This is a very high price for a lot of chocolate and liquid nitrogen dipped crap to be put on the table

[@bundyaddict]

does someone know how they turn the sauce from a round shape to a square ... is it the table or some ingredient ??????

[@AimeeAdversary]

If I paid over $200 for that, I would be licking the table, no matter who was in the restaurant!

[@zhangvict1]

How do they get the chocolate sauce to dry into square shapes??

[@sapier]

you can reduce a jackson pollock to paint splatter on canvas.

[@TheVitalij24]

why they dont put that on the flour ?

[@kdg5636]

It's a pretentious bullshit, not just because you don't get it, but you can't afford it. + you don't get it, not 1%. If you do you can at least explain what the steam like effect is or how sauces formed squarish shape when they hit the surface. Just stop hating. It's sad to look at...

[@RICK11211]

I just want see how you eat it..

[@004308]

Mother of God desserts

[@gustavoderganelias3529]

The table is the dish

[@Tidako12]

how do u eat this

[@brandonrosenblum]

Yes

[@Frouza]

You got owned

[@bensontam]

Job done. Now, please eat the table. Thanks!

[@CaptainDebauchery]

Here's my "gourmet dessert"..... Ingredients: I pint of 34 Flavors' (aka Baskin & Robbin) Gold Medal Ribbon 1/2 a bottle of Kahlua (or a whole bottle, it depends on how drunk you wanna get) Scoop ice cream into a bowl. It doesn't have to be a bowl. It can be a pizza pan or even a gravy boat, you're gonna be drunk anyway. Douse the delicious ice cream in the delicious booze and enjoy!

[@admiralackbar8826]

I prefer my food on a plate.

[@cepterone]

Just as NASCAR isn't for everyone, certain people seek this type of restaurant out. The great thing is; YOU will never eat there, so rest easy.

[@Ilchino1]

How does the circular liquid become square?

[@Frühobst]

it reminds me of those "street eating" stuff in thailand

[@shadowremorse]

yup took 4 people to wash the table

[@jthammarath]

Those giant chocolate rock thing freezes the liquid chocolate so that it can be picked up and eaten

[@KingHarlaus1]

That glass pottery clattering is making me mad.

[@ChknKng]

just look at it

[@maxineang7223]

notreally... let's just stop bashing each other...it may be pretentious bullshit for others..for others, it's food art.

[@TheDutchzman]

its cold before you get the chance to eat! oh wait its an dessert

[@paigeerin5921]

So, can I fucking eat it yet or am I supposed to look at it all night.

[@admiralackbar8826]

Because all desserts are cold.

[@zammmerjammer]

This is just the older richer monetized version of that exact same hipster.

[@rascalm123]

I don't understand fancy people I think your supposed to like eat your food and not smear it across the table

[@stricklandpropane7090]

Doggy bag for the leftovers please.

[@DemHad88]

seems delicious... but i want my plate ;p i don't like the idea eating from the table

[@r3never]

@chitpreet93 with a spoon.. its not hard to eat

[@2ndwind743]

That probably cost a grand for the chef to come out and make that mess! I think Ill stick with Dairy queens ice cream cake!

[@Tannz0rz]

I don't see how. It's not like they're touting it as a one-of-a-kind artwork. The reason they do it is to *make money*, and it seems to sell quite well, otherwise they wouldn't do it. There's nothing pretentious about it; it's not like they're some hipster walking naked through downtown Portland while eating Spaghetti-O's and calling it "art".

[@5FnX17]

the other guy's side is a mess.

[@jacquelinewong3388]

I wonder what Gordon Ramsay would say about this place? lol

[@ElvisLivesUpstairs]

I could do that with the salt packets, brown sauce and ketchup bottles at KFC. xD

[@probablychris]

a spoon

[@martinsolden77]

this dessert lacks overall ballance.. its ritch.. good mouth coating.. but lacks acid and bitterness i look for in cooking.. Nordic cooking is still the top nudge for me..

[@brandonrosenblum]

4 people

[@gabz1989a]

I would be so tempted to stick my finger in the sauce heheheheheh fantastic

[@angelmartinez5782]

Where do they come up with this garbage? haha.

[@Combobreaker100]

3 Michelin Stars

[@HappyHappyPanda88]

0:47 fail apprentice gota fire him now. failing at spilling dots on the table and u call this 3 michelin star?

[@KingHarlaus1]

your not suppose to eat it!

[@Ilchino1]

How the

[@tntchef]

There is always an Asian at the table....oO

[@Dukedija13]

After all that...they should spit on it like 3-4 times.....

[@Frouza]

You are just mad cus you got owned :)

[@Frouza]

Mad much?

[@crux101]

How totally UNAMERICAN of you, Bluecow...why would you arrest someone for just doing something you don't understand? sad...

[@Soup-Dragon1]

no, it's not food art, it's crap, and those who lap it up are eating themselves

[@00Resev]

i don't get it... Clearly i'm not sophisticated enough to understand this pretentious bull$hit.

[@battutulu3030]

Thats complete bull shit...boring mess...let's leak that table

[@mark51693]

what a great reason to lick a table!

[@Frouza]

You mad cus you lost :)

[@downeylfc]

thats fukin shit

[@zammmerjammer]

I get it. And it's still pretentious bullshit.

[@Frouza]

Haha you are so mad :DD

[@zammmerjammer]

It's effete wankery at its worst.

[@zammmerjammer]

Right. Well this "wanker" has worked in fine dining for 10 years. And this is pretentious and twee in the worst way. But excellent points -- calling me an idiot definitely shores up your position ...as someone easily wowed by this sort of garish foolishness.
