Michelin-Starred Sustainable Seafood with Chef Michael Cimarusti | Customer Spotlight | Made In

This week we’re in Los Angeles, talking to acclaimed Chef and Made In customer Michael Cimarusti about the purpose of restaurants-to serve diners and make them happy, of course, but for Chef Ciramusti it’s also about doing so responsibly. At Providence, a 2 Michelin-starred restaurant emphasizing sustainable seafood, he and his team maintain their lofty standards through thoughtful sourcing, close relationships with the farmers and fishermen they work with, and an intimate understanding of the ingredients themselves.
Chef Cimarusti also shares professional advice for preparing vermilion rockfish and Hokkaido scallops, with a few simple methods that can easily be replicated at home. All in all, the big takeaway is this: good food is actually incredibly simple, and at Providence requires little more than dependable cookware, (wild-caught) fish, a knob of butter, and a squeeze of lemon.

This chef seems amazing! Even just the way he’s speaking to us, the audience, and not to the cameraman or producer. Well done. This is inspiring!

He is great!

Their gonna sell that rock bass as red snapper per usual

From fishing with Grandpa to Michelin Starred Chef! Love to hear the story of where the passion began.

Every single time I watch something with Chef Michael Cimarusti I learn something! love this dude!!! wanna eat at his restaurant. would totally work for a chef like him.

I don't even eat seafood, and I was so invested in these instructions 😂

Thank you for being an incredible teacher, Chef!

Can't wait to eat at Providence. Great work, Chef

[@emilyborst1191]

that trick to weigh down the fish so the skin is in constant contact with the pan is so helpful! thank you chef!

the passion in the ingredients, you can feel it over the screen !

If they did, most people wouldn't be able to afford to eat at restaurants. Sourcing like this comes at a high price.

But then y’all cry about the high prices. Working as a line cook for two years, I hate people 😂😂😂

I got to work as a pastry chef ( stoge for a few days ) and I was maybe 20 years old … he was such a kind , knowledgeable and cool man I never forgot that experience , he asked me what I liked to listen to and I was totally into reggaeton at the time and he let me use his iPod to blast my music for the day:) I didn’t work there in the end but those few days were super cool :) family meals were bombbb seafood lol

[@RfdMusicOfficial]

OOOH MY GOOD. The scallop dish, it looks fucking amazing. How you put all of the mushrooms upside down, it really struck a chord with me. AMAZING!!!!!

[@johnsheetz6639]

I can't Express in words what homegrown superfresh herbs do the flavor of a dish. I can tell you you can leave it out on the balcony and get all you want for a year with a couple pots. I'm only doing sweet basil rosemary Dill and some spring onions makes the food come alive!

This guy is my new favorite cook !

Farm raised sea scallops huh … how about some New England scallops

[@jeffhampton2767]

That's exactly what I just said. The best sea scallops in the world are wild-caught from Canada all the way down to North Carolina. A good bit of them come from off the coast of New England.

Probably a kind and fun boss

[@melissamartinez3593]

He was ! When I was 20 I got to work a couple of days in his kitchen I was testing out to see if I could be the new assistant pastry chef … he was so kind I was only there a couple of days but he let me use his iPod to put on the music of my choice ( reggaeton haha ) super cool!

[@MrGetItIn]

I was wondering why he kept mentioning the brand of pan he uses until I noticed what channel I was watching. Great video tho

[@MadeInCookware]

👋 Glad you enjoyed!

[@zackstpierre2562]

When he tapped that scallop and it tighter up I lost all my words..

[@2075vj]

You choose to not use the nonstick pan. Can you tell me why? Thanks for sharing 😊

[@chip_malt]

Much better sear because the liquid evaporates out of the pan better

[@JO-et2ir]

You should try using carp. Carp is considered an invasive species in the US and is basically not much consumed in the US.

[@jamesbell5793]

Anyone know where he got those weights he used on the fish

[@Raymonddurann]

Amazon

[@jackhaus5238]

I had the Asian carp it is so good 👍😊

[@MadeInCookware]

Sounds wonderful!

[@chrisartist5155]

@11:46...tell Chef Ramsay that Michelin star chefs that appear on Hell's Kitchen use testers to check temps in food to see if it's done! 🤣

[@nigelft]

... or use a stainless steel pan to cook the scallops ...

[@oeialexander]

Locally sourced.. Sea salt from France, scallops from Japan 🤣🤣🤣

Great chef but best produce in the world! Don't think so mate, and why choice b and c why not always a and cook around that! Seasonal is what counts and wild!

Why would you get low quality farm-raised scallops from Japan, when the best wild-caught sea scallops in the world come from the East Coast United States, from Canada all the way down to North Carolina. You don't know what great scallops are if you think these scallops from Japan are top-quality, which they are not.
