I need a full 8-10 hour long vid of this to watch/listen to while Im studying. Keep up the great work!!

This brought back memories of when I used to work the grill at a burger place in my uni days. The prep work, the rush, the time flying by, everything. So many memories and friends made :)

Being a souschef myself for a period of 7 years in different restaurants, great footage. I'm from the Netherlands and plating wise, everything is so much different here. Love the style of the food and it shows you know what you are doing and are in control. One small tip, always keep 1 finger on the nozzle from the squeezing bottles when you are plating. Happened to me more than once that the lid flew off and the whole plate was ruined haha. Cheers and keep up the good work!

Ryan is so talented. Look at the million things he can do and does everyday!!! Wow. So many skills and time management. Ryan....Top Chef!!!

Love that you take care of your staff and cook for them …need more of that these days

Love seeing you plate the dishes! Everything looks so scrumptious!

I’ve just discovered your KZread randomly at work on my lunch break, and I’m an immediate subscriber. Great content, funny, not too long and something different from “master chef” or other cooking programmes. Love this.

Thank you Ryan for taking the time to record this during your busy work hours, I enjoyed every bit of it. And also this type of "me working in a restaurant/coffee shop/bake shop" videos are very popular in S.Korea.

I somehow found this really comforting. Thanks so much for making my day better. Keep up the good work Ryan!

This was so satisfying to watch. And without meaning too, gave me some ideas for prepping. Thanks Ryan!

My goodness!! You're so skilful, watching you prep everything was extremely satisfying!! And it seems that you have a good relationship with the rest of the team!! A big follower here, Greetings from Miami

The way you do the plating is so satisfying, especially when you are doingtwo of them at the same time and they end up identical, SATISFYING!!

This was dope! Thanks for bringing us along. Everything looked so good!

Thanks for sharing one your days with us! I love good food and quality service and its great to see all the effort behind a great meal.

Absolutely love this can't wait to see more videos from this perspective. Really goes to show how a very busy yet calm and collected upscale kitchen is run, more order less chaos and amazing attention to detail. The creativity and passion is clearly there, gorgeous plating and killer ingredients. Also this vid definitely validates my frequency of immersion blender and blowtorch use lol.

I worked in a relatively small kitchen cooking for max 140 people as Executive Chef and I loved my sous chef :) you make our job so much easier, thank you :)

Worked in a restaurant for three years when I was at uni. This brings back lots of memories. Thanks.

One of the best videos I've seen all month. Standing on your feet for most of the day is very exhausting but at least time must go by fast. Your kitchen is very clean and organized. I always tip very well when I do eat out which is not too often as I know everyone in the restaurant works really hard. My parents on the other hand who were well off always tipped lightly as in their minds those who worked at the restaurant were lucky that they had a job in the first place. I did not agree with them. Thank you Ryan.

You’re amazing chef! I enjoyed every second of this video!!

Beautiful plates!! I've gotten some really great restaurant tips for my next visit to Vancouver from your and Joe's vlogs. Thanks!

Cheers from Germany ! The Souschef's the man to help the head sleep at night. You run the show, settle mistakes by the cooks, advice, teach, train and set an example how to do things. But remember, when you think there ist nothing left to learn from that headchef, leave and Start learning from the next. Until you think you're ready for the big game. Did a German way, three years apprenticeship, one commis, one demichef, four years Chef de partie. Than four years Souschef or Junior Souschef or Senior Souschef working in places in austria, switzerland, england and on cruiseships. I became a headchef by mistake on a christmas night, when my boss lost his mind, being 23 years old in a ski resort in a tiny austrian village. It was a shock to be in charge so early but it also made clear to me what I still need to learn. I finished the winter season and went on to next place still as a Souschef. By the way : Nice idea 🍻, the video.

We want more vlogs like this! Pleaseeee. Though, completely understand how hard to do this at the same time of work lol. Anyway, this has been really really good!

Loved watching this. Really like just the sounds of the kitchen for most of it.

I really miss vancouver. Was a student there many years ago. Didn't get to eat at these fancy places because wasn't knowledgeable or had money haha Went back a few years ago pre pandemic. Had a blast seeing all the places again. Brought back alot of memories. Good and bad. Finally got to try some of the better restaurants etc. Vancouver is a wonderful city.

This was a really nice and comforting vlog even though you were working hard.

just found your channel and think its so cool to get a behind scenes of a real kitchen! amazing bro!!

Great, another KZread channel where I say, “hmm I wonder what being a sous chef is like?” Now I waste the next two hours of my night not sleeping, watching most of your videos, googling sous chef jobs and salaries (even though I already have a career). So thanks a lot buddy. I blame this on you.

Really interesting, and we had the best seat in the house -- except for those who actually got to eat the delicious-looking meals you prepared. Especially impressive to me was your skill in slicing all kinds of foods quickly and precisely. Thanks for this rare inside look at the kitchen.

Watching these kinds of videos makes me want to go back to working in a kitchen, but that's the last thing I'll do in my life. War is certainly not the only thing that causes PTSD.

Loved every bit of it❤️

Hey another current sous chef enjoying your vid, great to see what looks like a good team putting out good food, big respect. I'm probably a few years older and done a few different roles (also done the head chef/ mr fix-it chef/ cafe/hotel/fine dining). You will always look back and remember that kitchen that ran ( somewhat) just right and try to emulate it, hope it was this way for you. Learn from mistakes and also learn from the good times.
