How Legendary NY Steakhouse Peter Luger Makes the Perfect Steak - Plateworthy with Nyesha Arrington

[@asarsalari]

Nyesha crushes it in these.. Even though she's an experienced chef, she plays the part of the person who wants to learn. Awesome host

[@kitcutting]

Agreed. As the hostess, she has the perfect background and personality for this line of work. She always looks like she’s learning something and at the same time keeping the audience engaged in the intensity of the cooking process.

[@navyforeveryoungjean-phili5940]

Omg. I thought her job was in media and hosting. She can definitely do both

[@SIMPLESIMPLE22]

Well said buddy

[@crimsonfancy]

Every honest chef wants to learn and has never learned enough. It is a lifelong experience. A lifestyle of learning and growing. Every single day a new opportunity. There is no end game. Those who would "already know best" aren't honest enough with themselves or are in the wrong line of work.

[@r48productions]

I love the way they let the restaurant tell the story. There’s no fillers by the host making a script. She has exprience in the kitchen and she made it look she’s been working there for a decade. Amazing storytelling. Nice change from food we feast style.

[@Edit12332]

Plus everyone seem to be having a fun time. Good host too!

First time here. This lady has a great vibe. She clearly is trained but I love how she is so humble when given the opportunity to work side by side with the staff. The volume of steaks ordered each day in this place is mind boggling. Without actually eating one of these, I'll go out on a limb and say I'd prefer mine sous vide and then finished under that frickin' blow torch of a broiler!

[@ArrKayCee]

Probably my favorite host from any of this genre of youtube food show. Let the subjects of the show explain things while not slowing them down at all by being inexperienced, and at certain times her experience just helped her put into words something the chef was unable to or helped lead them down the right path to explain the subject more clearly. Helps the people on the show behave more naturally, and really lets the food and process shine.
