Molecular gastronomy is not for everyone. Appreciating it doesn't make you a snob. Not appreciating it doesn't make you a Neanderthal. Cuisine styles are like musical styles. Modernist cuisine is about pushing the art and craft as far as it can go and exploring those possibilities. For some that is exhilarating. For others, it seems so removed from the realm of comfort and nurturing that it seem void of what many consider so great about food. In my opinion, which I make no claim to be superior to anyone else's, the greatest artisans in every field learn from their peers, find their own voice, and advance the state of the art for everyone. To that end, I think it is fantastic to experience the whole spectrum and I think it is important to be open to both new and old ideas. After all, the best ideas are timeless. Peace everyone.

[@Kaotiqua]

Well put, Robert! Our household, no cooking method is either spurned nor embraced in it's entirety. Comfort foods are just that, but the molecular gastronomy is about whimsy, experimentation, fun, and a little madness. The one will never replace the other- but they can happily coexist in one kitchen!

[@robertholtz]

Kaotiqua Thanks for your well-expressed contribution. I wholeheartedly agree with you. Cheers!

[@ichigo121]

Kaotiqua Very well put!! I completely agree with you. Only an artistic mind could truly understand the magic behind molecular gastronomy.

[@rich1051414]

I simply find it fascinating, I am a student of computer science who worked his way through school as a sous chef(obtained through experience, not education), so these videos are extremely interesting to me :)

[@robertholtz]

***** Excuse you? Take your insult-flinging hater ways elsewhere. You have no right to speak that way to anyone.

[@Jay_P86]

Great video. people think that just because it looks a certain way that it would taste bland. it's actually the other way around. Yes this isn't for amateurs who just cook at home. this is for the people in the industry and we love this kinda of stuff.

[@mndlessdrwer]

It looks like plastic and tastes like amazing: molecular gastronomy.

[@lizarddude7874]

+Robert Coffey most accurate definition ever

[@inthefade]

This is the thing about modernist cuisine that I am always thinking; It so rarely appeals to me in any visual sense beyond pure aesthetics. I'm never driven to want to eat it. My mouth never waters looking at it, but the geek in me just loves it so much, and it does taste amazing. The geekiness is what is *so cool* about it. But instinctively I still want to eat food that *looks like food*. I would much rather combine the "plastic" look alongside something more... natural looking. If a chef used a combination of molecular gastronomy with traditional French cuisine it would make me so damn happy.

[@greenrolaids]

just like ur mum.

[@DavidLee-fo6gd]

wtf..

[@villager2838]

is it really that tasty? my impression was that they are all pretty much tasteless since they focused so much on texture lol

[@elefront]

Holy moly so many people here griping about this... You can make your omelet the way you want it, and they can make theirs into art. If you can't appreciate that then obviously its not for you. I think this is beautiful, creating such a stunning piece of art from what is essentially a humble breakfast food, and that's the point.

[@flapyack869]

So, at a restaurant, you would wait for 45-minutes for a SCRAMBLED EGG filled omelet? Based on how much my time is worth, price of the dish, and tip - sounds like that's a $30 omelet.

[@alexreinking]

@@flapyack869 why do you think these are made to order?

[@peterlindsey4178]

That was great. I'm a home tinkerer and I could do the sous vide, the mushroom puree, but the steam oven is a technological advantage and well done with the clarified butter. That makes it 100% more appetising. I would love to experience that level of breakfast!

[@simonneil8305]

That is beautiful work, and I bet it tastes incredible. It's so ridiculous to see people calling this 'artificial' or 'unnatural', or even highly processed for that matter. This is made using totally normal, nutritious food, but prepared in an inventive and artistic way, and with a bit of good food science thrown in. In fact, cooking the egg with that fine temperature control is more likely to retain the nutritional benefits, and avoids the potentially harmful products of oxidized oils and greases.

[@Menelyagor12]

Made from real food, but does not have that food appeal because it just seems so perfect and over done. Almost has the appearance of freshly made wall paper or like a weird hand bag. I just dont think 'omelette' when i look at that with its perfect lines and suepr high gloss finish. I mean im sure it is great and I can appreciate the skill required to make it, just really does not have the appeal it deserves BECAUSE its so controlled and refined. It does have an artificial look to it, as if it was made in a factory, molded out of wax and polished and voila.

[@animamundii]

yes, except the ingredients go from plastic bags, to plastic molds, to a bottle with NO2, then to another tray...etc. I dont know, its like having a slice of bread and putting it on a hundred different places in the kitchen to make it look like NOT food, and then eat it. Why? I dont see the point of this. Also, he doesnt seem like he enjoys what he is doing. Sounds lifeless, just like the food he makes.

[@anow2]

The point? It's food, from a restaurant. I assume this type of food is their shtick, and I assure you, it tastes better than the 'natural' mushroom omelette you're getting from your Diner - more nutritious too.

[@frankelliott2899]

The total cost of the equipment to cook that omelette was about the same as a new car.

[@kayrey18]

More than that actually.

[@armouredoutlaw1537]

Kendra Ayrey depends what car you're buying..

[@Matzes]

Whats your point

[@DOGMA1138]

Siphon = $10 NO2 cartridge = $2 Pastry Comb = $5 Silpat = $5 Steamer = $50-100 and it can easily be substituted with an oven, turn the fan off, set the oven to use the bottom heating element only, put in a cooking tray with water at the bottom of the oven and set it to 90c, let it steam for 30 min and put in the omelet in a tray above the water.

[@bl6973]

DOGMA1138 Don’t forget the immersion circulator.

[@MisterCOM]

why are people saying that this looks like junk food it looks absolutely amazing

[@user-gj7me5pp4d]

You don't even have to add any spices to the omelet The comment section has enough salt.

[@birdablaze]

That looks really cool once it is complete.

[@inarithiel8504]

Fascinating, and very clever!

[@silvermediastudio]

I wonder if it could be rolled and sliced like sushi?

[@MrGlennJohnsen]

You can do a variant of this without all the expensive equipment. All the "special equipment" does is making it more refined and smooths out the textures, we made this in culinary school with no special equipment at all.

[@flapyack869]

You spent over 1.5-hours cooking an omelet? I would walk out of your restaurant if I waited that long for an omelet... and I would leave bad reviews. It's one thing to learn new techniques at school - but when it comes to ME spending MY money at a restaurant - there's no way I'm waiting that long for an omelet filled with SCRAMBLED EGGS. AN NO F-ing CHEESE! Some of the best omelets I've had only spent MOMENTS touching heat. Get real, just because you CAN do this doesn't mean you SHOULD.

[@acwarner7911]

Lol, the video clearly states they steamed the omelette for about FIFTEEN minutes. Then they plated it. Done. I don't know where you're getting an hour and a half from. He made it in under 20.

[@psyneur9182]

there was the 35 minutes or so time to sous-vide (idk how to spell it) the eggs

[@acwarner7911]

psyneur that would be done well before a customer walked in the door... I believe even the video stated how many days the cooked egg sheets would last. They took this omelette to a cooking show of some kind and cooked the sheets before going on the road.

[@zannie2723]

These guys are having too much fun! Good food as art, love it!

[@tecnologiaoficial]

I'd love to try this

[@AnnKristinOfficial]

I don't get why people are so hatred towards this video. You don't like this type of cooking, there is many other ways to cook your food. I appreciated this video. It's cool how food have the ability to become something completely different. Someone must have told the majority of you as children "it's not nice to play with your food". Who said? I think it is quite fun.

[@swhaw]

+FlirtGourmet by Ann-Kristin People find no joy in their life, it is like they see something different, something that pushes the boundaries of what they are comfortable with, and they shun it. I find this interesting, cooking is a science, or an art, even this though over the top is really interesting how you can take a food we all know and love and turn it into something completely different just by preparing it differently.

[@AnnKristinOfficial]

+swhaw exactly!

[@swhaw]

FlirtGourmet by Ann-Kristin Yeah, I mean without this kind of cooking we lose out on knowledge that can be useful in other forms of cooking.

[@namnhan2003]

If it is not for the complexity, ultra modern kitchen tools which none of us have, i would like it...otherwise, it is not for a regular person.

[@swhaw]

namnhan2003 Some forms require less than others, there is the recipes people do that create orbs of liquid that only require a couple pots and a couple additives, oh and an ice try that makes spheres instead of cube, but over all it is just for people that want to experiment with food, it is of course not for everyone

[@xITZxGODZILLAx]

Why are so many people angry? It looks like a beautiful recipe which takes a lot of technique and patience. I couldn't even eat it (allergies) and I gotta admit It looks pretty good

[@merixx1110]

hmm... while i would not go to lengths to prepare my own food in the same way they have done here. i can appreciate the artistry and effort they put into making their food more artistic, plus I'm sure that thing probably tastes pretty damn amazing. striped omelets like his are pretty, but I'm quite happy with my french and country omelets i prepare at home.

[@insmart_ua]

Holy shit! Looks terrific!

[@soupscoopplease]

did you build that sous vide machine yourself? its awesomeeeee... i want to make one too!

[@AnneGirlCarrots]

would you be willing to share the mushroom paste recipe? I want to use that as a filler for a pesto ravioli I'm thinking of

[@katorihuela]

Hmm. It looks interesting (and very foreign to me) and would like to try it, but I'm fairly sure I'd go back to a regular omelette. If not for the ease and simplicity of making it, but also for those childhood memories that I associate with having breakfast with my family. To each his own.

[@2bored4life]

Why did you not eat a piece at the end of the video?

[@Serai3]

Yeah. Interesting that you don't actually get to see anyone eating the thing, isn't it?

[@Telthazur]

As a cook, I know a lot of cooks that cook to serve others, not themselves. This guy seems like a great cook that got put in front of a camera because his omelette game is this high. Wouldn't surprise me if he just forced that upon someone to eat and kept working.

[@dyanpanda7829]

You kiddin? he cant afford that. That food is reserved for the clientele. But seriously, as interesting as that is to look at, I think i'd prefer the texture of food to pastes, mashes, and purees.

[@flux4flux]

Wow 😍

[@cfv1984]

the real achievement here is that you've made something that's 300% more involved than necessary, absolutely anti-appetizing, but probably super tasty

[@MalteSer001]

is there anyway of knowing where you buy the silpat frames ?

[@jgonsalk]

I think Modernist cuisine can be amazing. I haven't really eaten any, but from what I've seen, some of it looks amazing. The only thing is that for every step of preparation involved, there should be an equal or greater return in terms of flavour and texture. This seemed wasteful because I spent the whole video thinking about how excessive it was. If there were some incredible flavours described in the video and textures that baffle and delight, I'd be interested. This was a bit of a loss though.

[@PervyOldToadSage]

I imagine this tastes quite delicious. The textures are probably fascinating. For example even that paste added in the filling at the end with chicken jus in it, man I can imagine how good that tastes I love chicken jus. The eggs are sous vide then aerated to a perfect fluffy texture. Every bite is also layered with those mushroom stripes. That constant intermingling of perfectly cooked eggs and mushrooms and the varying textures, all with the chicken jus to finish it off with a savory umami tone. And honestly this doesn't look very hard to do in a restaurant setting. Sous vide is pretty common now. And every restaurant has one of those siphons that you fill with nitrous to make whip cream, they simply replaced the cream with scrambled eggs. If you imagine the level of effort put into certain classical preparations such as freshly made croissants or demi glace this is actually pretty low on the effort scale.

It doesn't matter anymore when you make modernistic cuisine because whether hot or not it just doesn't taste good.

[@kruner]

You could use a warm dish to help, and hold the siphon in a bain marie/double boiler (for example)

[@sweetlaura91]

chuchung712 clearly, you haven't eaten real modern cuisine. It tastes amazing. Never had a better meal that one that I had in one of those restaurants (sorry for the grammar, I'm from Spain)

[@seikibrian8641]

It should still be fairly hot when plated, since it was in the oven, on a metal pan, etc. You'd also plate it onto a warm dish, but if you still wanted it warmer you could put it under a heat lamp, nuke it (briefly!), etc.

[@aLexTaKaTu]

Steam, either way since the omelette sheet are quite "heavy" for a-la-minute, the sheets could be ready to go into a combi right before assembly, the shrooms marmalade rewarmed in a pan and the siphon in a sous vide bath; it actually is quite appealing and brings ideas for a bunch of breakfast things

[@flapyack869]

Because it takes 10 minutes to cook an omelet not 45 minutes plus an hour of prep time. I would walk out at 30 minutes and leave bad reviews if I had to wait that long for a SCRAMBLED EGG filled omelet... that looks like a sheet of silicone or plastic. Sure it's neat, but just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Also - NO CHEESE?! GTFO!

[@dyanpanda7829]

Well, part of it is that that cartridge of gas was like $1.50, not including the device, and you can get the same effect with a little arm action. Its super overkill. As was the sous vide, the mushroom paste, and pretty much all of it. Its not wrong, but this is so far from an omelet that it doesn't even look like food to me. Also, because all of his ingredients are processed and are boring, he still adds a layer of butter, which is pretty much the answer to flavor in a mom-and pop diner.

[@mako4874]

scientists cooking. i dunno, takes the joy and passion out of the food if u ask me, u end up with something that looks like it came out of a supermarket packet , not a restaurant. this is how companies come up with products like fruit rollers, and pop tarts. scientists cooking, not chefs.

[@swhaw]

+Loop Set The only reason it looks like it is made of plastic is because it was steamed eggs cooked on a non stick surface, and them accentuated with butter. If instead you made it in a frying pan instead of an oven it will cook like normal eggs on an uneven cooking surface, Fruit roll ups aren't food, it is a mixing of chemicals, Molecular gastronomy and modernist cooking while not practical are about taking the food we have and using different cooking methods to prepare them in different ways, like the foam he made was just eggs and milk shot through a whipped cream siphon. They are chefs, just trying new things. Without that food wouldn't evolve, it is through things like this that we learned that the yolk and white of an egg cook at two different temperatures.

[@SBVCP]

isnt the only "molecular-like" thingy here the syphon (sorry for bad english) thing? the gas? because i may be wrong but i dont consider sous vide as molecular..neither pattern-ing
