There is a certain point where a meal turns from cooking into art. You're no longer paying for food, you're paying for a piece of these chefs' lives. The dedication and amount of practice that goes into these plates are tremendous. How many hundreds of dollars did they waste on ingredients, making that roasted duck for two weeks before finally meeting the Chefs requirement to be served? Absolutely phenomenal.

Had the pleasure of dining here. Was incredible. I was joking with the Maiter D after dinner about when the kitchen tour began. She said, "Whenever you are ready." She pulled a young man off the floor and took us on a tour of everything. Chef came off the line to greet us and my first question was, "How can it be so quiet in here." so this video was very similar to my experience. I spent an hour in the kitchen and was able to speak with many about their part. They truly love what they are doing. Another thing very interesting is that all of the awards the restaurant has won are in a back hallway for only the staff to see. I'm sure to server as a reminder to bring that every day. I'd work there for free just to peel potatoes.

There is a swedish restaurant that serves only local food, even rotten food in one instance (which isn't really unusual in Nordic or isle nations but this is a unique plant), has a really old churning machine for icecream that makes a lot of noise for everyone and thrives on the dissimilarity and uniqueness of every experience. This guy chose this type of thing and it probably works for Las Vegas where you have a lot of people going to experience a little bit (or a lot) of luxury and pampering rather than innovation or genuinity. sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A4viken_Magasinet They may have changed, so check out their website if you want. Stil I can see that they are fully booked for a month now. Anyway for me, food is alot more about ambiance and taste (and possibly company) rather than plating and I would rather pay for that than perfect little circles. But to each their own. The total experience is much more expensive too. Too expensive IMO but hey. Again, everything is relative.

Anthony Sanchez That's the first thing I noticed about him. It's great compared to other Master Chefs...

[@kinglancelot8747]

Unlike gordon. Its like. Naaaaah

[@annnguyen5047]

Yeah thats what I see in this guy. A very dedicate chef who wants his food worth his customers money. No customers need perfection, they just want to see their chef trying his best.

[@doomdude69]

Well there is a camera in front of him. I can see him spitting on his employees when the cameras are off.

[@SkonrokkenTV]

They all say the same tho! And I bet he's a different person when the camera's aren't rolling..I bet that place is a miasma of fear. Or maybe not. Maybe the chefs-de-partie can stand up to him. But given the french tradition in the kitchen, I bet it's a miasma of fear.

Amazing Chef you are a Great Chef loved your video and your Presentation... Absolutely Amazing

[@ohboyitsthatday6858]

pretty sure i just got charged $325 just by scrolling to this video

[@Frogbjb]

You can get away with spending less than that at the actual restaurant. The smallest menu offer they have is like $120

[@Frogbjb]

For a full meal, or you can spend even less by ordering a la carte

Jöel Robuchon is actually one of the chef that has been mentored Gordon Ramsey, so you can say that this guy is as good as Ramsey if not more

[@josephback-upaccount6116]

He is better than Ramsay who no longer practices his craft daily and is now a yelling showman.

17 million views of this video and 17,000 comments means you’re one in a thousand if you made a comment. I met Joel Robuchon. He said that entertainment is the most important thing for his guests. His chefs’ foods were highly enjoyable and were made as close to perfection as I have had.

He followed up that comment at 9:10, making fun of himself. "I definitely won. Because I create the competition but I'm the judge at the same time." In other words, the contest is rigged, and he can't lose even if his potatoes suck. Funny guy.
