Turning Food Waste Into a Fine Dining Experience - Rest in Oslo is Redefining Sustainability

[@gab.lab.martins]

What was wrong with that box of heirloom tomatoes?! They looked absolutely gorgeous!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Oddly shaped, so many restaurants don't want them.

[@gab.lab.martins]

@@andersandkaitlin wow... if perfect tomatoes like those get rejected, it proves the necessity of restaurants like these.

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@gab.lab.martins exactly!

[@amyorr6270]

Such a great concept- and I love how they carried it out throughout the restaurant, from leftover food to leftover plates and glasses ...even the clothing worn by servers!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Yeah, crazy how far they take the concept, right?

[@mayalauzon6242]

U guys sisters?

[@hae1898]

Hi! Just wondering, do you become full after ~20 courses they serve? 😆

[@andersandkaitlin]

More than full!

[@horsehelp4you]

It’s crazy that beautiful produce doesn’t get used because it’s not “up to standard” the best carrots and tomatoes I’ve had are funky shaped from our garden. It’s not the appearance just the substance that matters. A lesson only fruits and veggies could teach us 😅

[@andersandkaitlin]

Exactly!

[@maniswolftoman]

That carrot dish is pretty cool. Hopefully their star comes soon. You can see just in this short video both el Bulli and Noma. My hero is Alain Passard and I just reread the recipe for the gargouillou in Michel’s Essential Cuisine. They do all of those chefs a service. Wonderful job, chef. I think I’ve asked you guys before but have you ever been to Le Suquet or L’Arpege?

[@andersandkaitlin]

Yeah, love how they turn garbage into gold. We have not been to Le Suquet. Kaitlin has been to L'Arpege.

[@maniswolftoman]

Anders Husa & Kaitlin Orr The thing I love about Bras’ Essential Cuisine is the dish after the gargouillou that contains instructions for cooking over a hundred vegetables is an onion dish that contains two main ingredients and about four or five others. A great restaurant is only able to do the unbelievably complex after they’ve mastered the simplest of preparations, techniques and ingredients. These guys show that.

Always adored your videos.I'll pray that you get more subscribers because your work is really amazing and people need to recognize good work. Love from India. ❤

[@andersandkaitlin]

Thanks for your support!

[@Karbofitchef]

Love the concept of the restaurant. It could be more commonly used in nowadays restaurant, besides being fancy and serving banging food, you could also help the planet. That's what I do at home - every bit of ingredients is being used for purees, stocks etc.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Luckily, we see a huge sustainability trend among Nordic restaurants!

[@kayefouxe6502]

Wow don’t take this the wrong way but you guys are brave... I never would have imagined. Beautiful plates💋. Safe travels!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Thanks!

[@dannyzep92]

Straight up inspiration for me and my friend and the type of cooking we want to do

[@andersandkaitlin]

Amazing to hear!

[@maniswolftoman]

Now’s the time, brother. Unfortunately lots of our brethren are closing, but that opens up the opportunity to buy space and do something totally different and new.

[@TheTripstraps]

i saw one day how they threw away two full carts of food from Rema, i was so sad, but what could i do?

[@andersandkaitlin]

Go to Rest! Only thing you can do, really. :D

[@naveenjiarun]

Truly amazing! I have been enjoying your videos over an year! Truly exceptional! Greetings from Canada!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Glad you like them!

[@ivanbonev9531]

Great concept! Respect for this guys ;)

[@andersandkaitlin]

Moto Adventure Norway awesome, right?

[@pierrekrantz5370]

Finally another video, thank you so much. I almost had withdrawl from it beeing so long ;)

[@andersandkaitlin]

Haha, thanks for this amazing feedback. We're only able to publish a new video every two weeks (both costly and time consuming to make), but maybe one day we'll be able to put out one video per week.

[@conceptinfinitum1989]

Amazing and laudable concept. I hope this creates ripple effects of others emulating to save food waste.

[@andersandkaitlin]

This is the future!

[@TheTripstraps]

i would homestly dumpster dive to save some food, but where to put it? i dont so much myself. also i would be afraid to do it alone. if there was some place they would need it, and they have the good cause, i could get soo much food already from these containers from couple of shops in this small town...

[@andersandkaitlin]

The problem definitely lies in the grocery store industry, they need to get better systems.

[@cia9939]

Did you change your channels name

[@andersandkaitlin]

A year ago, yes.

[@DonaldLOrr]

Great Earth Day rewatch!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Thanks for the support, Don! 🙏🏻

[@stefanstoleru7928]

hi. really love the content u put out. did u try Silo in London by any chance?

[@andersandkaitlin]

Thanks. Not yet!

[@DonaldLOrr]

What a great concept!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Thanks for watching, as always!

[@澳洲小霍]

Very good 👍

[@wendytobiska4465]

Wonderful concept! Good looks yummy!!

[@andersandkaitlin]

Amazing guys!

[@persefone1116]

Take the rest...Hurry up (Nirvana(

[@erikkarlsen5675]

My first visit 20 days ago. Love the place, its fantastic. Congrats to Jimmy Øien that last year won young chef award from Guide Michelin.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Glad to hear that!

[@TheSongwritingCat]

It could be actually be useful to teach consumers what kind of shape variation, discoloration, texture, etc. differentiates produce that is safe and unsafe to eat. Without that education, people will choose what's most aesthetically pleasing.

[@andersandkaitlin]

Indeed!

[@georgewbushcenterforintell147]

Bravo chef .

[@andersandkaitlin]

The guys just won the Waste category in the 260 Eat Guide!

[@magnus4537]

The sound is way off

[@andersandkaitlin]

Off in what way?

[@magnus4537]

@@andersandkaitlin The voice is clear and loud at 1:00, but at 1:08 when the Chef start talking, it's very low compared, I'd say maybe a 70% reduction in sound which goes on for the rest of the video (when it's only music playing, it gets a bit louder, but nowhere near as up untill 1 minute mark). However, a very cool video! Sorry if I came off as a bit harsh.

[@andersandkaitlin]

@@magnus4537 It's all shot with the same microphone volume, but Kaitlin is standing in a hallway which amplifies her sound, while Jimmy is sitting in a larger room. I heard the sound difference in editing, and tried to adjust it, but I didn't wanna bring Kaitlin's voice too much down and I couldn't ramp up Jimmy's voice too much either because it adds white noise. This is with my limited skills in audio editing, so I'm sure it could have been done way better.
