An Illegal Restaurant at USC: A Night out with the Crew from Paladar
Subscribe to Munchies here: bit.ly/Subscrib...
Back in 2009, as undergrad students at USC, Alex Chang and Bobby Kronfli started Paladar, an illegal, underground restaurant for their friends and fellow classmates. Dissatisfied with the dining options on campus, Alex and Bobby starting cooking the food they loved and hosting dinner parties for their closest friends. When they realized how in demand their food was, the two decided to start a supper club out of their college apartment, where Alex would take the lead as head chef and Bobby would handle the business side. Now, a few years later, Alex and Bobby have entered the real world, where they are running and cooking in their own, legal restaurants. After a night of service, we hit the town with the Paladar crew. Starting with some good bar food at Freddy Smalls, drinks at Redwood Bar and Grill, and a MUNCHIES meal of chicken katsu at Bacaro LA, Bobby's restaurant, it's clear that these recent college grads still know how to party. Check out their documentary for a deeper look into their Paladar days at USC, now available on iTunes: bit.ly/1sMsz3V

people need to stop turning off cameras when cops order them to do so. There is no laws against recording in the general public, including cops. pure intimidation

I respect the hell out of underground ventured such as this. I wonder if they will ever switch to being legit (even though they are already legit) but you get it.

The title of this video is pretty misleading, I came actually expecting to learn about why Paladar was illegal, instead I watched a bunch of douchebag chefs have a fun night out. And what was the point of interviewing them about the night? Like, "Yeah we went out and got drunk and ate food with some friends, it was fun." So what? God damn this was a waste of time.

Nyiddle Paladar was illegal because it wasnt a restuarant; it was someones home, with no inspection nor licenses to sell alcohol or food. That was a given really.

no the title clearly says a night out with the crew ...it did not promise to explain the legality of the restaurant
lol at the end "No drink it".... errr alright.... "BY THE STEM BRO!"
I'm late for the train, but these guys seem like decent folks and I had to say something. It's awesome that they were able to channel their passion for cooking into a more legitimate and profitable platform. Although the speak easy friends list for a neighborhood feast sounds like fun I am glad the food is now within reach of the everyguy.
i get that its illegal because they dont pay taxes or are inspected and shit but i thought it was going to be cooler than that... like they served fucking foie gras, horse meet, and shark fin soup or something like that. Those restaurants do exist thats what i thought this was going to be. Not just some college kids who can make decent food.

"They cook just 'I am drunk and hungry' food" Words to live by
I seen something similar to Paladar, on Bizzare Foods America. There were a couple of friends in, San Fransisco I believe, who did a monthly dinner. It was booked in advanced and, the courses consisted of foods they foraged. It was $100 a plate. I would love to experience something like this. Perhaps someday someone in my area will pick up on this idea.
Alex Chang was also one of the best baseball players growing up in Santa Barbara. Great pitcher, hitter, outfielder
No lie that half Asian and Mexican man got me fired up. LIKE DAMMMNNNN
"by the stem bro" no mate you only hold the wine glass by the stem if it is chilled white wine so you don't warm it up with your hand, red wine is usually already room temperature so it doesn't matter.

You are wrong. You always grab it by the stem. Our body temperature is higher than the wine needs to be. So if you grab it wrong you are heating it

Wu Wei With red wine you hold the bowl of the glass, the warmth of your hand enhances the aroma, taste bouquet of the wine, that's why reds are served at room temp and decanted prior to pouring, whites and champagne hold the stem and serve chilled. They might have been making an inside joke mocking snobs or else they just are clueless

Believe it or not....I remember when some people had restaurants in their houses waaaay back when I was a kid in the 70's. Well, I wouldn't really call 'em restaurants, but you could buy and eat food there.

Find a hustle you can stick with and try to make money off that. Don’t follow the BS ethos of “do what you love”. Having a steady income that doesn’t make you wanna blow your brains out far supersedes anything else

Oh that atmosphere, that's what I'm seeking!
This episode made me super hungry *drool*
Watching this in 2020, and knowing cops are required to use body cams now is so refreshing.
Reminds me of the show How To Make It In America but with food.
And this is how "Chef's Night Out" started
Aw man that looks super nice. I really want to learn how to cook now.
You should check out the Latino neighborhoods i.e., Pacoima, California. There are Palomars everywhere. I have a friend that sells goat stew (birria) on the weekends from his home, and what a delight.
This is all kinds of awesome
Cool story. Kinda wanna do this when I go to college
When the hell did a food hipster scene emerge?
That was a fake cop for dramatic effect. I know this for a fact. Lol
I think this is awesome. This goes against all the rules in America. Good for you guys. Kick ass. Screw the health inspector.

good foor, good beer, good friends, that's all you need

So awesome
that food looks amazing
I hope she choked on that gluten free Cheerios. Damn 30 sec ads
A burger should be on every single menu. Deep fried brussel sprouts 0.o...that would be like eating a sponge dipped in oil.
I have loved cooking from a young age, I regret not pursuing a career in the culinary arts to this day.
