MUNCHIES: Chef's Night Out with Erik Anderson

Subscribe to Munchies here:bit.ly/Subscribe-to-MUNCHIES
We don't know what's more impressive: That Erik Anderson and his three-person kitchen staff managed to cook, plate, and serve a fourteen-course tasting menu to about 40 people every night, or the amount of Fernet that Erik and his team drank on his night out with us. We ended up hanging out of his last nights as the chef at The Catbird Seat in Nashville, Erik took us out to Rolf and Daughters, Husk, and 308 Bar before heading back to his own restaurant for a late-night snack of smoked bologna sandwiches, steak tartare, ribs, scrambled eggs with caviar, and even more Fernet. This is some of the best (and some of the most) food and drink we've had in a while. Enjoy.

[@macronan8368]

Cool vid. Fernet is for the birds tho.

[@censorshipshit]

people drink fernet in places other than nor cal/nor nev? I love the stuff...just most people don't even know what it is. also...i kinda want to give that bologne sandwich a shot.

[@ignacioazar4942]

Argentina downs more fernet than any other country, almost 80% of the worlds supply. No one can beat us.

[@raizumichin]

There's pockets of people all around the world who drinks it, especially around central Europe and Scandinavia were that kind of bitter is a pretty common drink (as a shot or digestif). Weirdly enough, it doesn't seem to be very popular in Italy where they invented the stuff.

[@censorshipshit]

In the USA its very regional....or at least set on profession. most people who drink it here are either from cali or are in the service industry.

[@bizzle187]

I swear everyone on munchies is a hipster

[@michaelrobonut6429]

Ur moms a hipster

[@madisonelectronic]

Fernet is for fruits

[@macronan8368]

Someone in a kitchen asks for fernet for a shifty I can tell they’re a goof

[@greenf0rd]

Why would you want to look at guys cooking when your having a meal?

[@tobiojr]

George RR Martin as a 20 year old

[@norvmath8563]

What are they drinking

[@NikolasSkoufis]

Fernet. Google it.

[@norvmath8563]

opened my eyes with this, refreshing with less of the alcohol taste of potency. The licorice undertone with the smell/taste of pine trees. MUCH APPRECIATION

[@brak505]

Erik Anderson mumbles on camera.

[@AussieRoberts]

Why are all cooks hipsters?

[@NikolasSkoufis]

Because when most people call somebody a hipster, they really just mean somebody who gives more of a shit about something than they do. This can apply to food, clothing, music, basically anything. Munchies only has really good chefs. And in order to be a really good chef you need to actually give a shit about food. And since most regular people don't give a shit about food (or, at least, enough of a shit) then everybody on this show gives more a shit about food than you do. And so you call them a hipster.

[@Stache224]

***** your comment is unoriginal and stupid, therefore you are also a part of the hive mind. congrats.

[@Stache224]

irony AND sarcasm... wow what a hipster

[@Stache224]

yup thats definitely the definition of hipster that you took time out of your life to look up...

[@Stache224]

***** good, im happy for you

[@jamewakk]

Trevor Moran... why the fuck would you leave a Top 3 restaurant in the world, to work in a shack?

[@jquanisgone]

he saw the opportunity and he took it. he didn't care about the stability and status of working at a high-end restaurant, he did what he wanted to do.

[@nojesseknows]

Still shaking my head at this dude's pronunciation of Lebanon.

[@giornogillespie5755]

Do people in America, simply not know how to use cutlery ? No one uses a knife it's bizarre.

[@TUUK2006]

"fer-net"? The 't' is silent. Learn to pronounce it properly.
