This is probably the most teamwork, most respect among each other, and a great aura of positive moral I've seen on here so far.

[@jqon813]

what a truly lovely man.

[@nerd26373]

So much respect towards these chefs. It's not easy to cook a whole lot of food for an extensive number of people at a certain event.

[@TH-qt5gb]

This seems like an ideal culture, everyone helping everyone, one common goal, a respect for the space and the concept. Everyone seems to be having fun and enjoying their stations and jobs, magnificent food. Ya'll hiring haha

[@Gogorocketman]

For anyone who’s interested… this company is called rhubarb and not only do they cater for RAH but also do skygarden, have restaurants in New York and Berlin and also cater and do events for 22 Bishopsgate. They have an insane amount of executive chefs/ mangers to make it run as smoothly as it does

[@oscarsthoughts4635]

What a great figure and role model. So humble, so kind, and has so much passion for what he does. That is a beautiful spirit

[@leancuisine6443]

This guys seems extremely genuine and very respectful to his fellow chefs. I would work for him!

[@q.a.2875]

the work environment seems awesome .. the mutual respect for each other

[@santhoshjeshuran]

The moment he enters .... every body starts to greet him ... wish him .... overloaded with positivity. Shows how he treats others.

[@bboybreathless]

Great job as always! nice to see the variation in the types of restraurants/chefs you interview

[@Searchingtheworld7183]

This is the most complicated team work I ever seen in the kitchen.Absolutely amazing!

[@4JJA14]

Chef comes across really well Just about all his team have big smiles whilst working

[@SaschaEderer]

Indeed. Seems to be a good environment

[@minamina6112]

true and professional leadership

[@PaceYourself]

Beautiful video of beautiful food and processes! I'll never say no to more videos like these -- they're fascinating.

[@bobgruner]

The shots where he's at the table sitting in front of the painting talking to the interviewer make him look like he's got green hair. 👨‍🍳

[@warrenwallsjr.2564]

That takes hardwork, dedication, and love to do something amazing to take on an impossible task and still put out delicious food to so many people😎 Gotta respect these great chefs😎

[@coppersnare]

It's always enjoyable watching a consummate professional showing you how it's done

[@SaschaEderer]

Omg, those venues look super awesome

[@ryecafeandjuicebar]

Looks fantastic, well done to Chef Scott and the whole team 😊🎉

[@TheLeechaule]

Years ago, worked in all the restaurants! What a great experiencing!

[@chrisklark4879]

As a NYC chef of 24 years just WOW... he amazing his passion and happiness is great. I would be honored to work for him any day

[@chriswalton-qz9xf]

Wonderful video - well done to you all !!

The golden Star Wars heads and figures on the sweets look amazing :D

[@AlanSmith88888]

The food looks amazing for a concert venue

[@brianmoody2549]

Knowing who to make things happen, and To run wherever happy But it’s not that Easy.But when everyone works as a team ,and love their job,and understanding who and what’s needed to work together,to give everyone the best meal ever.

[@chasehicks7465]

What a nice man, would gladly work for him. A perfect example of a great wholesome boss and place to work. Its even more impressive knowing how stressful that job could be

[@adamlawrence4690]

Outstanding Respect👍🇦🇺

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

Ugh, we need this in the United States. I mean, on my night out, I wouldn’t be eating dinner at a concert hall, but at the very least it would be nice to have some beautiful canapés or petit fours circulating around for those that are partial to them! And I mean freshly made beauties like these, not the packaged junk that is served at the bars in our concert halls which I never bother with. I mean, hey, I don’t know about the rest of the US (maybe Carnegie Hall does this), but this is a rarity in California.

[@theidioteque41]

We do have this in the US! I work for the US branch of this company in NYC and we do this for a massive complex called Hudson Yards!

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

@@theidioteque41 Yes, but that’s in New York! Honestly, I’m jealous, you guys are lucky😂 I haven’t seen this in a classical music hall in California yet, unfortunately. Then again, I think New York just has a better night life culture than we do when it comes to the more sophisticated arts that occur in concert halls. C’est la vie, I suppose😂 Although, that said, I guess I have to come to Hudson Yards then to try you guys out! Tell me, what’s your favorite thing that is served? What do you most like to prepare?

[@joshz3788]

@@Tennisisreallyfun "Iconic London Concert Hall". Lmao, don't get it twisted, this isn't something that happens this well at all places, the people who own this place and the people who do the hiring, have obviously chosen right.

[@40950999]

The fish and chips looked excellent

[@uberdump]

I’ve eaten at the Verdi and can thoroughly recommend it!

THIS IS INSANE!!!🤪🤪🤪 I wish this level of teamwork existed in my previous restaurant work. It's beautiful to watch. Gordan Ramsay should do a spin-off show called "Kitchen Dreams" like this place.

I had no clue they even have restaurants in there 😮😮😮😮 and I’ve been there many times 😅

The fact that the sidemen film a hide and seek video here is nuts

[@when_life_gives_you_limes]

I sensed some tension between the Executive Chef & Executive Pastry Chef.

[@piebomb101]

Worked here about 5 years ago. What they don't mention is the service staff other than managers are all agency temps. Wait staff were paid minimum wage, didn't see a penny of any tips (pretty sure that's illegal). Kitchen work seemed fine but the people running the place are horrific and exploitative. 100% massive Tories.

[@garduna9236]

Yea 5 years ago...

[@felix4059]

​@@garduna9236 it still applies now

[@berfunkle4588]

I have no doubt you're right, but I also have no doubts that if they did things your way, someone else ( not you of course ) would post here that the food was overpriced for what it was. Have to pass on the cost of making the food to somebody after all.

[@harrylloyd6955]

Waiting staff are dispensable though. Only takes 3 months to be certified in silver dining. Can't do that in 3 months to be a chef. Chefs, will be on a lot more. Especially if they work for a recruitment agency.

[@firstname__lastname]

That sounds like all high end restaurants for sure

[@michaelbcohen]

for the fish and chips comment at 8:03 mark, it was not the 16th century it was during Cromwell's period in the 17th Century, and it was not spanish and portugese immigrants, but Jews from the Netherlands whose ancestors were expelled from spain in 1492 and portugal in 1496 for refusing to convert to christianity. When Cromwell allowed Jews to immigrate to England, many from the Netherlands left to seek out new opportunities. In fact until the mid 19th century it was called "Jewish Fish" or "Fish Jewish Style" in british writings

8:08 Spanish and Portuguese JEWS. Say our name. Pescado Frito was a dish created by Portuguese Jews to be cooked on friday afternoon, and eaten on Shabath lunch. We weren’t immigrants, we were refugees from the Inquisition.

"Korean tartare".... chef rattles off Japanese components 🤔... so what exactly made that Korean?

[@wasabi_honey]

I was just thinking that lmao

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

@@afizulhaycarl3429 just mixing gochujang into anything and calling it Korean is just lazy. i say that as a Korean. Koreans actually have our own distinct version of a tartare called Yukhoe. at least try to mimic that rather than mish mashing Korean and Japanese together lazily.
