Tasting Menu at Kin in Boise | My Honest Thoughts

[@charina_custodio]

Appreciate the honest review in a great detail and explanation! This is my favorite series from you! I think this is one of those times where they focused so much on the concept that execution and expectations are missed.

[@justinkhanna]

That’s the goal! I’m wanting to speak my mind a bit more and have it be helpful - agree with you, concept is helpful and can “set the direction” but it shouldn’t detract away from flavor or execution.

[@charina_custodio]

@@justinkhanna Please keep up the awesome work you do! Thank you again for another video

[@Chefdelamaison1]

Great info especially on the soup and bread

[@justinkhanna]

Right?

[@johnathondickey]

Could you possibly make a video about cook books you recommend that cover varying fields/types of cooking

[@justinkhanna]

I can give a list, but it wouldn't be that accurate to how I learned (mostly hands-on restaurant experience). Modernist Cuisine is head and shoulders above most any other singular cookbook, and I really benefited a lot from reading all of the volumes and taking notes on what I learned.

[@johnathondickey]

@@justinkhanna thank you so much for the recommendation. Are there any other books that were helpful?

[@RetroRecipesKitchen]

But that was the most fire spoon. 100% a few were copped haha

[@justinkhanna]

Ha yeah if I recall everyone got a different tiny spoon. Debatable if some were actually food-safe to eat off of...

[@maetaylor5677]

Seems from your take like this is the type of food that is conceptual and beautiful, but it doesn't deliver on pleasure or satisfaction that a person would want from eating out. Just looking a the patee it looked like it was missing some crunchy cracker or something to smear the patte on and undressed greens are not great. The food looked bland but I liked the presentations and it looks like they were using high quality ingredients. Thanks for showing us. Fun to see the dishes and hear your take. I liked how you deconstructed the way in which you would have liked to eat these dishes made so much sense.

[@justinkhanna]

Yeah a lot of missed elements here - appreciate your thoughts

[@daeron_spes]

I love your videos dude! Are you still doing Kato and Pasjoli?

[@justinkhanna]

Kato is live!

[@jb42jb]

Are you going to do a breakdown of the bear season 2

[@justinkhanna]

Yup, it'll be up by the end of July!

[@wcarp4231]

Thank you for not making rosy content for the sake of being rosy. I'm often disappointed in wine pairings that are not thoughtful of the whole journey.

[@justinkhanna]

No rosy glasses here 🤓

[@samsham8218]

Yeah, For that much money I'd expect the menu to be better thought out, and the execution to be spot on! Too bad..

[@alexismcmackin]

i would have starved!

[@DmChef]

Cod on any tasting menu makes me sad somehow

[@justinkhanna]

In Norway when we would get the Skrei Cod I always thought it was pretty special, but that was region-specific. Agree there could’ve been a more interesting choice

[@hereweare9011]

Not black cod.

[@jeremyepstein7977]

I immediately rolled my eyes seeing the stemless wine glasses. This isn't a beer garden.

[@justinkhanna]

A lot was off...

[@PeterParker-jm4dc]

if you would do same thing to gordon or heston that would go viral :DDDDDD

[@WinedandDined27]

I disagree; the internet is flooded with people giving negative critiques/reviews to those two-often just for attention-as well as every other top chef in the world, not just in England. No way it would go viral in such a flooded fraction of the food reviewing world.

[@justinkhanna]

Yeah I'm less about the clout and more about 2 things...helping businesses do their best work, and improving my own palate (all while having fun at the same time).

[@remimcmanus2648]

Wow, you must be so amazing, I suppose you have won a few James beard awards.

[@naka-YAYA-plaza]

He has actually. 2 of them.

[@justinkhanna]

Nope, zero to speak of. I love going to eat, though!

[@naka-YAYA-plaza]

@@justinkhanna no justin you HAVE TWO! REMEMBER! *cough cough*

[@Tellmewhy235]

this looks terrible. who puts these people in charge?
