POV: Head Chef at a High End Restaurant

[@puertoricodrum]

I like that Chef treats the dishwasher with respect, jokes with him and makes him feel part of it (which he is). In reality that's one of the most difficult positions to fill in a restaurant (nobody wants to do it).

[@TheGingerDrummer06]

I love that about this resturant my first job was as a kp and i burnt myself got given no burn gel and got pans thrown at me but its lovely how there all so inclusive everyones a great team

[@matthewricketts5330]

I'm a kitchen porter myself at my local restaurant and the chefs are a fantastic bunch to work with. Everyone respects each other even during the toughest shifts which is good

[@NWBIZGUY]

Every chef has washed a pan or two

[@Sirius_Boner]

Dishpig for 5 years while going through uni Hard work But miss the banter and free food from the chefs

[@ryann8806]

yep i've always said dishwashing is the most important job in a restaurant. i've always treated mine with respect

[@rektkagebrother9397]

It takes some balls for a restaurant to show its workflow inside out. Respect.

[@dr.doppeldecker3832]

They know everything they do is on point, so why not show it publicly? It's the best advertisement possible;)

[@ndzapruder]

I love seeing it. It's *hard* work with a high skill cap. If I'm ever in London, I will absolutely dine here.

[@hhhhj5831]

How does that “take balls” lmao literally anyone can just look and see what they’re doing

[@thecapone45]

Indeed. I’ve seen a few food safety no-nos in some of his videos but eh, if the customers like it and the chef does, that’s them. Ain’t my kitchen. Enjoy watching this channel.

[@andrewjenkinson8948]

It takes a good one to have those balls. Fallow is operating at a seriously high level.

[@sara-jayn]

I have a condition now which means I can’t stand for very long so can’t work in kitchens anymore. Watching this makes me realise how much I miss it. The chaos was such a rush and you never appreciate calm like 10 minutes after service having a beer with your colleagues to calm down. Thanks for uploading this.

[@richardschulz6797]

I work in the lower end of the food industry and it's interesting for me to look at how a high end kitchen functions and what can be taken from it to improve my service. Thanks for the great videos 👍

As an aging sous chef these bring back some memories I though were long gone. Thanks to the team at Fallow and I'll be stopping in on holiday from Minnesota soon

[@maberriov]

I would love to see you experiment with subtitles, commentary, title cards, etc. What is happening? What is he doing? Why? What comes next? You already know we love the work, the videos, the restaurant. Thanks

[@Leytonstone09]

Great idea but probably doesn't have the time

[@maberriov]

@@Leytonstone09 I don't know how it works, maybe they have or hire an editor. If in the future, there is more value to these videos maybe they could be more profitable. Vote the idea up. The worst that can happen is, they see it, and tell us they don't have the time... Today. 👍

[@GoGoTwice]

Absolutely love these videos, you can feel the passion, excitement and stress of a busy service, but also the thrill of getting each order served to perfection 👍

[@jacko8603]

I was just there an hour ago nice food! Totally recommend thanks for the seat the bar and jay was a good chap to talk too

@@chonkimus4178 i had the burger. And it was like no other i had before with an actual crispy bun and them pickled onions it was fab.

Wow, my wife and I visited London last month. Fast forward a couple weeks and was looking for POV kitchen videos and devoured all of these. When doing my research on the restaurant I found out we actually had lunch there on our visit! Small world.

Was it as good as it look?

[@MissTayzha]

What a fantastic example of "clean as you go". Impressive organization.

[@Itsmarksas]

Love the videos! Just a recommendation, it would be nice to get a “What’s in my knife roll” video, explaining all the knives, tools, Chefs need to bring with themselves working in a high end restaurant. Keep up the amazing work and videos! 🎉

[@shmebYouLock]

[@backerboi1]

I love all your videos, Make Em Longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Paulstrickland01]

No point, you'd just see a bunch of chefs cleaning fed up and ready to go home. And you'd hear such conversations that you'd be appalled so trust me as a chef you've seen enough 😂

[@overlooting2195]

Those metal plate thingys are the MVP of this restaurant. They are EVERYWHERE!

[@ryanwilliamson9578]

We call them salvers here in Scotland. I work all over the country going from restaurant to restaurant on short contracts, if there's a shortage of these little fellas in a kitchen it totally sucks! 😂

[@ryanwilliamson9578]

Also it's what makes a solid KP so valuable as you'll always have a steady stream of them coming back to you clean

[@caydespliff181]

we call em “sizzle pans” in my kitchen. always assume they are ripping hot

[@superman04p]

Only thing that erked me was the pinching off bits of food and still putting in on the plate to go out.... i.e. 9:51

[@d0ntreply]

the fact he inspected it, having some idea that it wasn't good enough and still serves it lol.

[@seanhettenbach2101]

Damn a brutal night. The type of night that makes everyone better.

[@jakedye172]

another great video, but i gotta ask about the spoons. it just seems slightly unsanitary just putting it in water between uses, im not a professional though so is it plenty effective

[@cosmostumpf4135]

It’s a bit of a grey area I guess but very commonplace. It’s just a small amount of the sauces he’s using in the water- nothing to fret over. If it was utensils used for raw chicken or seafood or something then it would be a big no no.

[@dariokovacic3208]

You change the spoons and water non stop during service.At least we have separated spoons,witch means we do not use same spoon for fisch sauce, pork sauce,chiken sauce.....and offcourse for gluten and lactose or casein free.

[@XMysticHerox]

You say that as if the sauce will magically become unsafe once it is on the spoon. As long as they don't let that water sit for most of the day thats totally fine.

[@horizonchaser6030]

I worked On a 4 Person Food Truck for 8mnths. Specialty Burger, A couple Asian fusion Hot Dog inventions(On a Bun) lol, few other savory and two tricked out PB&J puffs. Low Brow Food of course but I did Enjoy the Lunch Rush plus competing with about 8 other trucks lined up on the street. It was really hard work, I got taken right to the Brink with orders most days, almost overwhelming but you hit that Rhythm, stay on the required 12 min to window (Ok a couple 14min) for Lunch Break Patrons, the feeling of fighting through it pushing food out, getting over the top, plus people coming back to feed the Tip Jar and compliments from tasting our Food...was the Best Feeling. I would have pursued going Further with food but Culinary School...so expensive! Plus seeing all the Red Tape, Endless Fees to run a Food To Order Business Steered me away. Anyway, Binge Watching the series "The Bear" brought me here. Cool Videos.

Beautiful organization and plating

I am so jealous of your team, having such a chill, cool and collected Chef, even under stress.

[@joshlewis575]

That's gross enough not washing your hands after that as a chef. But 12:50 my guy literally licks that green stuff off his fingers and just continues on. Few seconds later grabs some garnish with that same hand, disgusting! Isn't this a Michelin starred restaurant? Would never expect a chef in a kitchen like that to lick something off their finger mid rush because now ya gotta wash your hands. He said fuck it though, right on camera at that

[@PassiveAgressive319]

Thought the same

[@XMysticHerox]

People always call the towel "dirty". Why? And you say he cleaned with the towel. I even checked until 8 minutes. Care to provide a timestamp? Because as far as I can see he did not once wipe any surface with the towel. As for the hands. They did not touch anything dirty. There is no issue with touching the towel. He just uses it to handle hot items mainly plates.

[@Hoody-qc9gq]

This guy using is hand to much. Without washing them. And touching other food. Bit crosstamination .

[@XMysticHerox]

He is touching finished dishes. Thats not really the concern. When people talk about cross contamination in restaurants they usually mean raw ingredients. Something cooked can't really have harmful bacteria left on the surface. And using hands this much. Well totally normal. He also did not take any action that food safety agencies require washing hands after.

The norm. It has generally been found that gloves mainly justr encourage people to not wash hands which ends up causing more contamination.
