Mike Colameco's Real Food TAO DOWNTOWN

[@user-ku5xo1ph9l]

Thanks Mike for giving me a little break from what’s going on in society today

[@RataStuey]

I appreciate the technical, physical, logistical and let’s not sugar coat it FINANCIAL achievements of this kind of restaurant but there’s definitely a feeling of it being soulless

[@HomerMcPoT101]

Those paychecks and bonuses take care of that feeling.

Great episode. Great show. Serious operation here. Chef does not play. Kudos. 👊🏻

[@brianscottmednick235]

Had lunch at the uptown one a number of times (they had a very reasonable prix fixe) and the food was always great. The dishes here are amazing, though. VERY expensive but looks delicious. One of Mike's best shows.

Ultimate respect for Chef Ralph

Learned to cook hong kong noodle and seafood hot pot directly from this video

[@jmcenterprises9591]

This is a great video, thanks. What an amazing restaurant.

[@whereisevan]

Man...those open flames on the woks. it must be stupid hot on that line. I'm sweating just watching this...

[@davidle7899]

Love this show

[@itsyoboyskinnypenis7898]

yep

[@HomerMcPoT101]

Love the lesson from the proveyour! They must be putting a lot to kids thru college for them to send the owner and break down their product!

I had drinks and appetizers at Tao midtown east, 59 street? We didn’t have a serious meal, I didn’t experience anything like what was shown on this episode. No doubt their business is as hectic.

[@theviewer102]

Wonder how they are doing now.

[@user-ku5xo1ph9l]

Love Mike

[@neilsingh7]

An amazing business

"THE SHIT TASTES LIKE THE WOK".....Yaa Mon!

[@HeroReturns]

He couldn't accept I was an equal.

[@lifeofandre3151]

chef ralph is actually my uncle

[@SethHesio]

This place makes me unhappy

[@MikeColamecosRealFoodShow]

+SethHesio why's that Seth? I mean it is what it is, it's huge, packed nightly with tourists and bridge and tunnel types, but the food considering the crushing volume is really solid.

[@joedangelo8656]

being a chef for 20+ years i am in awe of this place, the volume is astounding, and Chef Ralph's quality is unmatched at this level...I really enjoy the show and your knowledge and passion is infectious

[@SethHesio]

Mike Colameco's Real Food I admire how they manage to do what they do.. but I just can’t imagine the stress that kitchen is under. I worry the chef/ manager might be a dictator !

[@XSCSCGS]

@@SethHesio uhm, they have to be. Thats what being the head chef is. If you aren't a dictator and the cooks do as they please, you will have no order in your kitchen and it will all fall apart.

I’m a Calamenco fan from the aughts. When was this show aired? I’m going to guess 20 years ago?
