POV: Head Chef at a High End Restaurant

[@Antny82]

I’ve been a chef for 14 years and he is showing exactly how to run a kitchen. Urgency, but calm, criticism but not insulting. Exactly how a kitchen should be run. Too many people think chefs are like Gordon Ramsay, we’re not. Food looked delicious too.

[@dominicfrabotta565]

To be fair, Gordan isn't even Gordan. It's a persona for American TV. Watch any of his shit. If you ain't fucking up basic shit pretending to be a professional, he is calm and reasonable with you.

[@ghfdt368]

I was a pastry chef for almost 5 years. I started out at 23 washing dishes then worked my way up to being a kitchen porter then to a commis pastry chef after he quit I was thrown into the deep end. I sadly lost my job due to COVID closing the place I worked at down for good and now in a new career. This video brings back a lot of memories and shows how everyone works as a team to get things done. My old head chef used to say "nothing and nobody is above the food, every plate that goes out that puts a smile on a customers face its all ours, the plate is here because of the dishwashers, the ingredients here because of the kitchen porters, the food because of the chefs, the menu because of me and people get to enjoy it and have a good experience because of the waiters".

[@RealPyro88]

never forget us dishwasher indeed! i stop working you stop working!!

[@madsulrik5rs]

@@RealPyro88very true. I was briefly in a kitchen at one point and found that dishwashing isnt just dishwashing. Its a huge workload and you can be good or bad at it. When the main dishwasher was there everything was always clean and the items were left exactly where they needed to be so we didnt have to waste time running around looking for it, which was sometimes the case when the more inexperienced guys had been there.

I was instructed to be head chef today (because I am in training) and it looks easy but it’s really not. It was the first time that I felt useless in a kitchen. Definitely inspired by this and I hope I can reach this level someday.

[@freddiekay]

Good luck. My colleague said something the other day that resonated with me. "Cooks critique and berate you. Head Chefs build you up and make you better." We were talking about a cook in our place that has been there for a long time without being promoted to Sous or Head. Great chef, catches people making mistakes all day, but is sulky about it and doesn't care to explain how to do it better next time. Both of these types give you negative feedback when you do something wrong but only one of them explains in detail what went wrong, how to fix it, and the next time you make the dish, they make it with you. Our Head Chef is strict, gives clear feedback, but is fair and just wants you to become a better cook. For you, for our guests, for your career in the future. I hope and believe you have the stuff it takes to run a kitchen brigade.

[@colin1656]

The stress for me was sometimes too much and I almost broke down a couple of times. Most of the other waiters were old idiots who don't care for a teenager who will be there and gone in a few months. Same for the head of the establishment. But this video reminded me of the cooks and 1 waiter who actually treated me as a human and a real person. That waiter Martin, he would joke around me when he could and call me funny names, not in a rude way. We would talk about football and how his son is a goalkeeper. He actually helped me and with his help I learned a lot. Also the cooks, of those in the morning shift I only really got to know the dish guy. But in the afternoon shift I got to know the head of the kitchen, a Albanian, buff and a sweet guy. He always asked me if Im hungry and what would I want to eat. Same for the female chef.

I run a kitchen at a smoked meat kitchen in Washington state. Brisket ribs pork prime rib chicken. On my way to watching the way your kitchen work I have used your smooth techniques to tidy up my kitchen. Cheers mate

[@bagellord9337]

Rare seeing another Washingtonian, so far every person I've seen who cooks bbq in this state knows what they're doing. I hope your career proves fruitful

11:20 poor guy got totally ignored

[@ryckcollyns8904]

There's always that one person, sadly

[@Siggerrr]

Bruh he respond : fine. Did you hear it ????

[@MentallyLatent]

@SaiGonz-zt9zj holy macaroni I didn't hear that "fine" the first like 7 times I listened to it lmao, it's also really delayed bro had to think about that answer

[@D3L3T3]

Props to restaurant workers man, back of the house and front of the house. You really gotta be on your game every day in these kitchens. I hope pay is at least good these days..stay blessed yall

[@BreonNagy]

After watching so many of these videos, I think I could plate most of the dishes.

[@haha71687]

This is the best advert you could ever do for your restaurant. I'm a Yank but if I'm ever in London I'll be stopping by.

[@yuhlolx]

lmfao completely ignored that dishwasher when he was getting the soap

[@uuuultra]

They're foreigners

[@pavlosnoulis]

Reminded me of my days as a kitchen staff member. Now I am a programmer. Wow that was a wild time. Loved it though. The feeling of urgency and coordinated chaotic dance culminating in a successful end of service was very rewarding to me. A beer was mandated for all kitchen members before we would start the cleanup. And it would all start again the next day, coffee and prep. Really loved it

[@rhey81]

How'd the transition from working in the kitchen go to programmer? Anything you took from the kitchen to apply to your new field?

[@pavlosnoulis]

@@rhey81 I would say No, they are too different to offer applicable lessons in a technical level. However, the sudden bursts of increased workload that characterizes a kitchen has forged into me the ability to withstand the same bursts programming work is so infamous for.

[@emanuelherrerias4082]

I'd be curious to know more about that deep fried cauliflower and what it tastes like

[@aarondavis1284]

I like how he also kept things clean. None of his movements were wasted.

[@sliding_by8607]

i was wondering when he would wash his hands 😂

[@CrazyDiamond419]

It’s not like he’s touching the floor or filthy stuff lol

[@sliding_by8607]

@@CrazyDiamond419 yea but he touched so much stuff before even thinking about washing his hands lol. This is why i cook at home lol

[@SoggyToast02]

@@sliding_by8607 nothing he did broke foodsafe rules or regs

[@sliding_by8607]

@@SoggyToast02 still too much stuff was touched for my liking. this is why i cook at home. to each their own

[@XMysticHerox]

@@sliding_by8607 Unlike your home kitchen everything here is wiped down and sterilized regularly. If they are following regs which they seem to be.

[@pilot2326]

Thank you chef and your team for letting us into your kitchen. This was soo cool. I would never be able to work at this speed.

[@lce_Poseidon]

11:23 bro ask "how are you chef?" and get fully blanked lool

[@Icthi]

The second one of these I’ve casually clicked on and been glued to for the entire duration. Fabulous work. Music.

[@dirtyketchup]

As always, those Fallow burger buns look divine. I NEED a recipe!

[@Glee73]

those burgers are straight-up simple burgers with no frills. the secret is actually in the 7 year old ex-dairy cow meat, impossible to source meat like that where I live.

[@restfulcube-notyet]

denied

[@destinymikeala]

This is such healthy communication it makes it so smooth to watch

[@hari5350]

he didn't wash his hands at all lmao

[@hairold5680]

Halfway through

[@chanlrrr]

this is what my brain needs. people have no idea how stressful this is. But to have a Head Chef with such a calm demeanor makes the environment operate more efficiently because they are comfortable. for example "see how much better that looks, it looks sexy".

[@russelljazzbeck]

5:02, server moves ticket, chef moves it back. 😂

[@kangarojack3814]

Tell me everything I need to know about this chef 🤣

[@moto3463]

Worked in kitchens before, nothing but respect it can get full on and tiring people would have no idea unless they worked in hospitality, at that level you should be super proud of yourself good stuff mate.

[@cheesesandwichmlp]

1:19 why’d you ignore this guy :(

[@uuuultra]

He's foreign

[@anonymous38741]

how is that an answer? xenophobic.

[@Siggerrr]

wdym? he talk to other guy idiot

[@jhonGze]
