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

    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.

Those restaurants do exist thats what i thought this was going to be. Not just some college kids who can make decent food.

    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.

    "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.

    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.
