Them singing buffalo slider reminded me when I was working in a kitchen for summertime. Sometimes you can get a huge rush and then 10 minutes after you'd be talking about life and blasting some huge Dubquake or techno on the speakers. Never sweat as much as I sweated working in this kitchen but that was a unique experience for me.

Fascinating to me how almost everything is pre-cooked and just warmed through. I mean, it makes sense, but at a restaurant of this caliber one just naturally assumes it's made to order. Great vid.

[@418horus]

I imagine this isn't typical dinner service, and probably some kind of event hosting/catering, where there would be a large expected volume of orders very close together.

[@MC-kd3yb]

@@418horus Could be for sure. I still want to go!

[@brundelfly1]

This is their pop-up chicken shop restaurant (Fowl) located around the corner from their main restaurant, Fallow. The kitchen is a fraction of the size of the one for the main restaurant. My guess would be they prep and make a lot of the food at Fallow as it's still quite labour and time intensive to make, while serving a quicker dining experience (despite some toolbox in these comments claiming they're serving Uncle Ben's rice 🙄).

[@jimmy2shoes75]

It has to be done this way. The dockets were coming in thick and fast, so every little advantage done in prep goes a long way in a smoother service. For example pre-cooking cooking can be done well if cooked propely in sous vide or similar. This also eliminates having to deal with raw chicken on the pass which would be a nightmare. It's the small details like this that can be the difference between a satifying service or a complete nightmare.

[@marcel1416]

The big difference to "cheaper" restaurants is, that even though the food is prepared and "just" finished to order, they use a lot of fresh ingredients, especially the meats, and avoid frozen food - especially in their main restaurant. It also streamlines the whole process and allows to serve more food more quickly. I would guess even Michellin star restaurants prep their food - it's just a matter of great quality ingredients - and Fallow has been really transparent in their videos with their process and quality. If I ever visit London I will for sure pay them a visit.

[@BlueZirnitra]

Have you worked in a kitchen because I think about 95% of them look worse, more stressy and untidy than this. Fallow, especially the videos they upload on here, are on a different level to the vast majority of kitchens. When you have like 40 back of house staff and like 10 chefs on shift looking good is easy. Welcome to the real world, commercial kitchens aren't the prettiest places during service. Edit: after watching a little more, you definitely haven't worked in a kitchen lmao. This kitchen is not untidy, it's above average.

[@SR-oc1gc]

Working as an agency chef across London, from corporate, law firms,restaurants, pubs,different kitchens you name it, I can say this is not a dirty kitchen. The things I saw over the years are absolutely shocking,is not even about being a chef or how skilled you are. Is about being human and respect yourself as a human. Things that I saw.... after 2020 things really went from bad to worse, you can clearly see a decline in attitude, cleanliness and overall mind set of chefs and industry. Let's say I worked in some kitchens and wouldn't have anything to eat. Some of them are posh on the outside but a nightmare on the inside. Some kitchens are really clean and a pleasure to work in . That's the cold reality.
