What?

[@Ti5qu4ntum]

Very crucial. It's a marriage without the title. Like EMP used to be.

[@algebraprodigy]

Love how they're constantly evolving - as Ray said, not being pigeonholed into Japanese or Mexican cuisine, learning every week and trying new things that express their POV on food. Also their philosophy that a nice night out doesn't have to cost $200+ (vs restaurants from other Mise en Place vids) with a tasting menu that's below $100. I've been here 5+ times, and it's clear this place is special. Looking forward to what new experiences they build in 2022!

[@georgemelissinos9128]

How much does their menu cost-broke pharmacy student that wants to treat his friends

[@paisleyF]

@@georgemelissinos9128 $92, but the caviar hand roll for 55 is kind of a must have.

[@georgemelissinos9128]

[@SuWoopSparrow]

You have to balance your expenses with what you charge and what you want. This restaurant has relatively simpler prepared food than other tasting menus. Not a bad thing, but that ultimately has a lower resource cost, so they can charge less. They may also be fine making less themselves. Most chefs make shit money working 10+ hour days, so if they end up opening their own restaurant and people are willing to pay $200+ for their tasting menu, why wouldnt they charge that?

[@Tonyhouse1168]

@@SuWoopSparrow bc there’s a big difference in 2 people coming in 3 times a week @$93/per person and coming in once a month @$200/per

[@na_sm]

These two and their team are so talented and so humble. They don't even go on to mention all of their prior accolades such as the other Michelin rated restaurants they've worked at. If you have seen the last episode of No Reservations, you may have caught a glimpse of their faces in The Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare. So excited to see them launch their own restaurant and explore their own vision. So proud of how far these guys have come, and this is just the beginning of their new story.

[@Spongeb0bSqu4repants]

Went back and watched it. Your right good catch!

[@juggalochef2399]

I knew I had seen them prior to this video! God damn I miss Tony so much.

They're clearly a couple if you missed that. Which I'm not judging they are lucky to have one another. Damn why can't straight men be this way

[@iTzDritte]

I went there tonight for the first time. It was delicious 😋 and only $92/person (plus tax and tip) for a 7 course tasting menu. Such a good deal by NYC standards! The owners said that they rotate the menu very frequently, so I plan to go back soon.

[@EzioAltair1]

That is really a good deal - I expected a higher price

[@kyoki6620]

Anyone know hm it is now ?

[@journeyman6752]

Only 92 dollars... I get a pizza for $10 you dumbass!

[@corgeousgeorge]

wow that IS a good deal by NYC standards. That place def gon be closing soon with prices that low on food that high end.

[@MrJ0HNNNYY]

I am so freaking obsessed with this mise en place series, all of these chefs are so passionate. Truly remarkable showcase in the art of culinary.

[@marylenehall405]

These two guys have so much chemistry and respect for each other’s talent and opinion wow.When he said we both take turns in and out the kitchen that was a plus many times the chefs are just in the kitchen and don’t experience the customers or managing the outs of the restaurant.That’s why they respect each other it’s a balance partnership.

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

So you have been there a lot? Or how do you determine Chemistry in a 15 minute video.

@@jimmyfumbanks6081 to make it short, marylene thought they were like a couple.. hahaha. she just dont want to mention it.. shes just being respectful. 😂😂

[@austinbuholtz6970]

Let me say this very clearly: these gentleman are living the essence of the modern American dream. Starting a business together, becoming successful, enjoying what they do, and introducing people to new cultures and experiences through their passion for truly good food. There is no one American dream, but these guys are living theirs, and it warms my heart to see people living life in a way that not only brings them happiness, but also fulfillment.

Hey! I remember when that Master Chef was a dishwasher 14 years. Sam’s worked his ass off to get himself here!

[@user-pf6kl7ci6g]

This series makes me actually want to go back to working in the food industry! Such an art.

[@TheTeeke]

Same, but then I remember how bad my back was and how swollen my feet would be. Also I hated cleaning the walk in lol.

[@adamg.manning6088]

These guys have such chemistry. Very inspiring. This is how Kitchens should be.

[@thehighgroundhimself736]

Looks great, I love how they work around their wood oven and fire, they really embrace it instead of trying to work around it. Amazing show of creativity

[@hoot1141]

These guys are so lucky. I love caviar and that caviar they use is the best stuff on earth.

[@realgoodmind]

Eater, you all have been CRUSHING it! Mise En Place is engrossing and I love seeing the passion these chefs have for their product and service. Love this.

[@Shanarai]

The fresh wasabi caught my attention because it must be eaten fast and can’t be stored like the wasabi we see in most sushi restaurants. The food looks amazing. It is a place I would love to bring my wife to on a special occasion😊

[@chaikagaz]

Most sushi restaurants use the fake wasabi that comes out of a tube... just read the ingredients next time, if it doesnt contain wasabi radish it aint wasabi...

[@Shanarai]

@@chaikagaz You are correct👍🏻

[@troythegardener]

@@chaikagaz it's usually horseradish with like 1% wasabi in it, couldn't believe I had been lied too so much when I finally read the ingredients.

[@xelmorexx]

This is the very definition of making the most of what you’ve been given. They kitchen space they finally found happened to have a pizza oven, so they turned it into the centerpiece of the cook.

[@joshlewis575]

The fact they're only a 3 man team is impressive. Those are some hardworking dudes

What are the cute little flowers I have often seen on dishes such as these? Obviously I'm no chef but appreciate the talent of those who are.

[@sayanmazumder8403]

These are absolutely breathtaking works of art.. the vision and creativity is next level.. However, it feels like these Michelin starred restaurants are more of an outlet for the chef's artistic perspective rather than a place where customers come when they are hungry. These dishes are meant to tickle your senses of vision, smell and taste.. but not really hunger..
