How Chef David Schlosser's Michelin-starred Omakase Tackles the Moray Eel - Omakase

FINALLY, a guy that recognizes that Japanese food isn't about sushi, which is a significant, but not a major, part of the cuisine. I'd love to eat more hot Japanese food items where I live in Sweden, but I think that is years off. I'll still just have to do it myself, without being that good at it.

[@KinkyLettuce]

i am certain it wont take too long for scandinavia to really pick up the pace Fine dining over there has been exploding in recent years, and many chefs are really taking the food seriously and earning stars after stars. For example, Bjorn Franzen's 3 star restaurant has tons of traditional Japanese influence It is only the matter of time when chefs pick up the more diverse Japanese cuisine and do something other than sushi.

The customers in the west thinks Japanese food is about sushi. This is why 90% of Japanese restaurants in west serve sushi.

[@nigelft]

@@jemgarzinez8265 I remember an interview with Chef Anthony Bourdain (may he rest in peace ...) where he was brutally honest about the level of drug taking he used to do, especially, iirc, when he open his first restaurant. I doubt there was anything he _didn't_ do, at least once. Hardly surprising: given the brutal hours that most, if not nearly, all chefs within the fine dining scene put themselves through, it's hardly surprising that some do resort to at least one drug habit, or another, to keep themselves going ... The irony is that I also remember a documentary on Gordon Ramsay, which showed him doing a swatch/wipe drug test on the staff toilets in a couple, or so, of his resturants, most of which came up positive for at least cocaine. Granted, his own brother is known for his on-going battle against his drug addiction, so on one level I can kinda understand why Chef Ramsay was rather upset, when he held a 'emergency' meeting with his restaurant managers regarding the testing results. But, on the other, I'm not sure he quite understands how hard he drives the chefs under him, nor what it takes out of a person, physically, psychologically, and mentally, to meet his demamds, and expectations. Granted, a person doesn't necessarily need 8hrs+ sleep per night, but living on four, or less, per day, every day, with only an occasional day off, means people will resort to whatever means necessary to keep going, at that pace, especially when a restaurant attached to his name has two -- and even more so, three -- Michelin Stars. Reaching that is one thing; but to maintain that level, consistently, year after year is, as I think even Chef Thomas Keller said, the very stuff of madness ... What I can't recall is what he did next. Knowing that Chef Ramsay has a compassionate side to him, I would like to think that he is generious to at least point them in the direction of decent addiction counselling, rather than simply sacking them ...

However, it is proven over centuries that people from white nations(Dutch, British, Spaniards, French) colonized countries in Africa and Asia.

Kappo doesn't mean not only cooking,cutting in front of guests. A kappo chef should respond to a request of the customer's favorite ,using the stock ingredients of the day on the spot. For example a customer asks : What ingredients you've got today ? a chef says : Well, today we've got like a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i... the customer says : OK, I"ll take a,c,d,g. And the chef cooks them on the spot. So Kappo chefs should have a certain skill, creativity, a good sense and need to train for many years as same as sushi chef. So don't underestimate kappo chefs. Although Kappo style restaurants are usually high quality expensive cuisine, it’s less expensive than the most expensive restaurant style of Ryotei. Cos. they mostly have only casual style counter seats and several tables.
