The Mind of a Chef
Narrated by Executive Producer Anthony Bourdain, The Mind of a Chef combines cooking, travel, history, humor, art and science into a cinematic journey, each episode capturing another glorious flicker from the mind of its subject and focusing on what it truly means to cook, think, create and live in the food-obsessed world that is The Mind of a Chef.

During my younger adult years I didn't have the time and money to do anything but work. Tony taught me so much and showed me so much of the world.

[@glennzanotti3346]

Some of the best food I have tasted has been in Spain. Traveling all over Spain introduced me to cooking that I had no idea existed.

[@robylove9190]

Going back and watching these again, brings Tony back for a few precious minutes. Thanks!

[@jaytucker4338]

Wow! What a GREAT ending to this video...from 12 years ago. HNY 2024 everyone.

Excitement replaced fear until the final moment.

[@dnnsrgr]

There's an error in the intro. Gazpacho did not come from the Moors.

[@biowerks]

Everyone gets a lot wrong about the Moors.

[@oskarobit]

In Spain and in Basque cuisine, using dried garlic is punishable by imprisonment. Especially if you're making alioli (from the the Catalan language, ajo y aceite): fresh garlic, olive oil and a pinch of salt. That's all.

[@MalakianM2S]

Yep, basically fresh garlic for everything, except lazy home cooking, imho.

[@oskarobit]

​@@MalakianM2S wrong. Thinking that about Spanish cuisine is like thinking that all Italian dishes contain oregano or that all Chinese recipes are cooked with noodles. Did I say I'm Basque? ;)

[@MalakianM2S]

@@oskarobit "basically fresh garlic for everything" that obviously needs garlic, but thanks for the heads up anyways.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

You can be wealthy in good friends, good times and delicious food. Money can’t buy 2 of the 3.

Daniel burns underrated as fk.

[@Samurai78420]

Agreed 💯

[@eduardolpz386]

The Moors did not introduce Gazpacho into Spain.

[@callocjr]

1:33 who the f*** were those pic supposed to be? I didn't see one Moor 😂😂😂😂

[@Ae-ne5iy]

Take it easy on the wood sorrel. They’re gonna explode the whole meal out the rear end. You should switch it to a 75% clover 25% sorrel salad.

[@abbottabbott1120]

Kinda weird to see them talking about this Spanish chef inventing an onsen tamago…

Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with.

[@mfdoom6815]

That reference at the end was terrible. I will never be Hugh Hefner, never as rich as Bill Gates, but I can only be like this very special one-of-a-kind chef! First off, anybody trying to be like Hugh and Gates is disgusting and a blight on society, and there is now way that you can be a one-of-a-kind master chef, or he wouldn't be unmatched in his field.

[@MalakianM2S]

I feel that you didn't get it; I think that the point is that most of us won't be billionaire rich or be able to enjoy the playboy lifestyle, but we all can try to be humble and learn from our experiences, he is not talking about the chef's expertise, but his approach to life. Why do you feel Hefner and Gates are a blight on society anyways?

[@user-qc9it4cm5j]

I was starting to worry that my pet turtle could tell what I was thinking.

[@user-bd7zw7kg5j]

Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.

[@irapower1921]

Do people enjoy cooking with their long hair all over the place? Honest question

[@adriansaw8329]

poaching eggs in plastic....hmmm

The anaconda was the greatest criminal mastermind in this part of the neighborhood.

[@SiliconPower74]

Tell me you know nothing about Spanish food without telling me

Everything was going so well until I was accosted by a purple giraffe.

[@jimgearing260]

I love Chef Chang and Bourdain, but how are you trying to stage this "As Narrated by Anthony Bourdain?" The content is good, but it just doesn't feel right. Maybe give some homage to when it was actually recorded?

[@robsylian]

This aired back in 2012, when Bourdain was still alive. There’s no staging happening here.

[@posthocprior]

It's from the show "The Mind of a Chef". The narrator is Bourdain. This aired in 2012. (All of this information is below the video.)

[@childishadonis]

Really???

[@rachelstark2391]

How did he get the raw egg in the clingfilm?

[@GwynneDear]

@@rachelstark2391you put a sheet of plastic wrap over a plate then gather the edges of the wrap up around the egg and tie off with butchers twine.

[@user-lr3jn7pp9z]

Olive oil wasn’t introduced from the Greeks it was the Arabs sorry to correct you Mr Anthony bourden rip

[@mikeh6177]

You realize Spain was part of Rome hundreds of years prior to the Moors coming to Spain, yes? Olive oil was already there, friend. 🫒🕊️✌️

[@MalakianM2S]

@@mikeh6177 You can even trace its origin further, both in time and space, there's been olive oil from the dawn of history, way before arabs and way before romans.

You are off by 1500 years.
