[@danieljones5670]

Fergus Henderson is one of the greatest chefs of all time, and you can see how much respect Action speaks to him with. He really invented a whole new way of approaching British cuisine, making almost medieval sounding food like lamb's brains or pork trotter into something people want to eat. And as well as being delicious it's good for the environment and respectful to the farmer and the animal to use the entire thing, with no waste. If you're wondering why Fergus doesn't really speak in the video, it's because he has Parkinsons disease, so struggles with that sort of thing now & isn't able to be in the kitchen every night any more, but St. John is still very much led by his creative vision. I was lucky enough to eat there once a couple of years ago and it was one of the best meals of my life. Every dish was something I'd never tried before and it was all insane.

[@ShaneCFoster12]

I was curious about Fergus, so thank you for giving some context. A beautiful video showing a lot of love & respect!

Thank you for the insight.

I’ll always remember his episode with Bourdain! Brilliant man he is.

There is nothing like getting some quality food, and pressing play on an Action Bronson/FTD episode. Makes my day every time. Cannot thank this man enough for being who he is, and moving the way he does.

@snow1366 I always tell my homies that if I was born and raised in New York, id want to move like Action. Respected everywhere, backdoor access to all the good spots. A man of culture.

[@matta406]

@marceloferrada1020 God Bless! He really is a vibe. The way he appreicates food is truly inspiring.

[@christianblad839]

Made me cry seeing Fergus serve Action at 4.30. No words needed, you can see the passion in his gestures and eyes. Remember watching the Bourdain episode when he eats at St John many years ago. Made me sad thinking that Anthony Bourdain is gone and Fergus is this ill. Still cool to see all the young guys pay their respects to a true legend.

When Action was carrying the food from the kitchen and said "chef" then waited for Ferguson and co. to walk first was a beautiful thing. Love the respect. Everything Action is magic

[@rangithompson453]

And also Ferguson handing him the herb salad and salt with his fingers was wonderful.

[@josephponessi2608]

The respect, the voiceover commentary, everything was terrific this episode

[@SanshoTheBailiff]

Bronson doing English food justice. Thank you bro. (Live in the Périgord and hear so much food slander towards the UK and its just not true)

[@ubernaffa]

💯 Our food culture used to be pretty underwhelming, but for the last few decades we have been raising the game - and today, you can get some of the best food in the whole world here. People that still pretend it's not true are just depriving themselves of potential joy! Thank you, Bronson. 👊🏻

bud, I'd eat all of that food too but once you put beans on my breakfast plate, you're delusional.

[@leemitchell8501]

Beautiful food, wonderful people of the culinary world, casual vibe, and Action Broson? That's more than perfect. Love how polite and charming Action is, so humble and cool with all the people he met. Gotta love that he bring Clovis with him this episode. Please, tell us that there will be more episode about London, maybe on more part?

[@hansssssssss]

I've probably watched every single one of your shows but the respect and appreciation you showed as St. John was incredible, I appreciate you and everything you're doing to show true British cuisine and food culture 10/10

Fergus is a legend in the chef world. For me he is top 5 most influential chefs ever.

[@flight714]

This place is heaven! Absolutely awesome British food, from nose to tail.

Nothing better than seeing Action together with that one French guy from way back. Vibes are always immaculate!

[@mcwinfreysmythe]

An incredible meeting. Back in 2014 I was living in London and on one weekend saw Baklava do Blue Chips 2 at the Forum, and ate at my all-time favourite restaurant St J. Bizarre and very cool to now see AB and Fergus having lunch together. Big love boys!

[@robertrico7598]

Ferguson Henderson is a legend, and a GOAT, Bronson is the man for recognizing this great and (unfortunately) dwindling talent. Everybody should donate to a Parkinson’s disease charity, because that bastard disease is robbing us of some great talent.

[@Nolanbrown480]

Clovis is top 3 humans of all time. Dude just doesn’t miss

[@BigRigg_]

You know when Action has his soft, serious voice that the foods gonna slap. And especially when Clovis is calm 😂

[@germanlo123]

People that hate on British food need to look at THIS! This shit is art!

[@stuartswanton1676]

I love the respect Action shows in whatever kitchen he walks into, whether its to a street vendor or a world class chef like Fergus.

[@Lager]

You know it's good when Action is willing to sit at the table

[@joerennard1]

The most serious I think I've ever seen Action. And potentially not stoned hahaha

[@ells101]

Probably because Fergus has Parkinsons, and so giving up his precious energy to lunch with Bronson is an incredibly special thing. You can hear how much reverence Bronson has and it's brilliant

[@Chzydawg]

Fergus Henderson is one of those nigh on legendary figures in the kitchen (think Escoffier, Robuchon, Keller etc.) and St.John’s is a one of the most important restaurants in history. For many chefs meeting him there is akin to meeting Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel.

[@4JJA14]

Fergus Henderson is a LEGEND.

[@sonickgq]

This was on my bucket list restaurants to eat at for the longest time after seeing Tony featured it. Loved it when I finally went about 5 years ago. I've watched many KZbin food videos about St John and this is probably the best I've seen.

[@whatsgoodbtong]

I had the honor to have eaten at this establishment and it was an experience with such simple food but rooted with so much history. Wanted to drop and say shoutouts to the Spitalfields staff for taking in a lost wanderer feel at home. If I remember, they change the menu everyday. Anyone who has a chance should really drop by and experience the menu. I was waiting for this episode! Love it!

While visiting London last year we rolled into St. John late one night with no reservation and asked if we possibly get a table, they were friendly and gracious - sat us in the bar area gave us a menu and took care of us, such great food, great atmosphere and great service.

oh man. I was salivating. European cooking is rustic, simple, and fresh. Farm to table'ing it since the beginning of time. Im Italian-I grew up eating tripe, livers, kidneys, ox tails, homemade pastas. All the flavor came from the garden. No preservatives.

I've had the pleasure of going to St John a few times as I don't live too far away and it's been exceptional each time. It's a shame you don't get to see Fergus out and about as much as he was in the 90s/early 00's but for obvious reasons due to the parkinsons. For anyone that goes you cannot leave without having the bone marrow on toast, it's so good we've ordered it twice in a meal before. Definitely try their other smaller restaurant in Shoreditch and their St John Bread & Wine in Neils Yard as well if you get the chance. You can see a more animated Fergus in past videos with Marco Pierre White and Anthony Bourdain as well, not too hard to find - he's truly a genius when it comes to the kitchen.
