NYC's New HUGE FRENCH Restaurant! Is GRAND BRASSERIE Worth The Hype? Review in GRAND CENTRAL

[@openmythirdeye]

That's how a proper omelette is prepared. It's supposed to be runny inside.

[@EatingAmerica]

They nailed the cook

[@SusanRiddle-c2f]

I know that is the proper way, but I do not enjoy the texture of runny eggs

[@uaeats]

Good to know! As I said in the vid I haven't had many authentic French omelettes so good to know that's just the style of how they are. Always learning new stuff from you all

That is actually good quality french style bread. The butter looks good too.

[@nilobeebee]

I think he should be dipping that bread in the soup to soften it up.

[@hu_b]

No way to tell just watching a video if it's stale or not

[@BadtakeDave]

You can tell by the way the crust pulls and lack of cracking, that it may have been good the day prior. There's a chance they popped that in the microwave for service.

[@John-iq7ry]

People know fresh bread when they taste it. He actually showed us on camera how hard it was. They took day old bread and warmed it up in the microwave most likely.

Why wear a hat in a restaurant of elegance?

[@LordLOC]

Because he was in the more casual part of the restaurant where that's perfectly acceptable. In one of the pan overs, you can see people wearing sweat shirts and baseball caps where as the main restaurant would probably require at least a minimum dress shirt/dress of some sort I suppose.

[@arthurbarber7546]

Take your hat off while indoors​@@LordLOC

[@LordLOC]

@@arthurbarber7546 Yes I know it's supposed to be "common decency" etc. to take your hat/cap off while inside a place. But since UA was in the more casual area and more than a few other people there had hats/caps on obviously the restuarant doesn't have a problem with it. Of course if it bothers you that much (not you, I mean in general) you can always ask the server or someone at the front of the house.

French omelets are supposed to 'wet' on the inside.

[@uaeats]

Moist and creamy makes sense, but are they supposed to be wet?

[@ezlus]

@@uaeatsYes. The way the French prepare omelets (and eggs generally) is usually described specifically as more “wet” than how we do it in the States. The eggs are basically less cooked. It’s intentional.

UA, your facial expressions were hysterical when you were trying to get through that piece of bread!! As always, thank you for another great review!

[@lyndagooch-campbell684]

This man has not had a properly cooked egg if he thinks this omelet is wet 😅 it has been sitting there and "cooking". It was much more "wet" when it was served 😂. He really wouldnt have liked it then. That omelet is beautifully done. And would have been runny even when cut into when served and would have been appropriate even then. As for his hat at the table, i live in Alabama and you do not wear hats at the table. It is poor manners to do so. My mother never allowed hats at the table nor men to show up without shirts on. Its called respect. I continue that. 😊

[@roccosims]

You could tell when he was looking around for a knife to cut it with. LOL

[@dchron8565]

To be honest, I don't think you like French omelettes, period. A classic French omelette is a culinary ballet of eggs, softly curdled and then folded into a silky, almost creamy texture. The inside of a French omelette is tender and slightly custardy, with just a hint of creaminess. Simplicity and precision are its hallmarks, often finished with a whisper of fresh herbs. Maybe order a country omelette next time at another restaurant. It's all about what makes your taste buds happy. Bon appétit! 🥚

[@lok4058]

That omlette looks perfect to me.

I've no idea how to not like a french omlette. There's legitimately like 10 pounds of butter in them. Nothing with that much butter pairing with the custardy texture is capable of not being delicious.

[@anthonylarocco6763]

They’re very inexpensive for three courses for only $35 that you cannot beat. Especially in New York City. ❤🇺🇸

[@ageoflove1980]

Older bread is actually really good to mop up soup with. Its firm enough so it doesnt disintegrate in the liquid and it really soaks up the soup well, softening it at the same time.

[@JACKLVNV]

[@louisastuto2878]

Do not order a French omelette if you don’t enjoy somewhat wet eggs, very simple. To order one and then complain about that is really crazy.

Gruyère is not French! It is Swiss! The cheese comes from a village called Gruyère in the canton Fribourg. It is a nice little village with a castle. Worthwhile visiting when you are in the vicinities.

That looked really good. The only thing i dont think i would like is that skirt steak. The bread is very classic, and just takes getting use to. As many have said, that is how a french omelette is prepared. Yumm! Thanks!

[@alisachamoy225]

The omelette looked so good! I really love omelettes (particularly French ones with "wet" insides). Everything I would order on the pre-fixe menu requires an extra charge so it wouldn't pay but I saw a lot of things on the regular menu.

On your skirt steak, you’ve been cutting it🎉 with the grain. A better way to cut it and eat it is too cut along the side across the grain. Cut it into 3 inch pieces and then it’s easier to maneuver to cut in the other direction to eat.

Missed out. If nothing else, a hard, crusty bread like that is absolutely perfect for buttering up and dipping into that French Onion Soup. Softens it up and the texture probably would've been great.

[@tyspiro2056]

UA that was a fantastic review! i have to try this on my next tip to the city

[@Castapher]

You know, i had the same experience in a restaurant when they served the bread. It was hard as rock, and told the waiter to change it and explained why. Then about 5 minutes later he served me fresh baked bread. The difference was like night and day.

[@uaeats]

Thanks for sharing! Hopefully that wasn't the issue on my end. I don't mind a crusty bread but it was very hard in the middle

[@Castapher]

@@uaeats sorry i was not specific, but like yours, it was also hard in the middle. In my Country we call it: "the gut of the bread" because the middle part it's supposed to be fluffy and soft. But that middle part of the bread was rock-solid. And obviously it was not a French bread. In any case i support you if you decide exploring new foods and restaurants that you havent tasted before. 👍
