How a Master Chef Built a Michelin-Starred Italian Restaurant in New York City - Mise En Place
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
At NYC’s Rezdôra, chef Stefano Secchi uses his years of training from under the best pasta-makers in Emilia-Romagna, Italy to craft some of the most unique Italian dishes in the city. With special attention to fresh ingredients and respect to the tradition of making pasta, he creates dishes like king crab girasoli and giant ravioli with runny egg yolks inside. Stick around to see actor and investor Tony Shalhoub stop by for a taste.

@Eater Please tell Stefano I said well done on being recognised for his decades of hard work and humility. I have a deep love for the works, the tales and the lives Italy has blessed the world with. His is one such life. God willing he brings a firm hand and a pure heart to his trade and shares his skill with new chefs. Yours sincerely The Heartbreak Prince 24 11 2021

Used to deliver to this chef when I worked for Natoora. it’s really difficult using the restroom and asking most restaurants if you can use theirs is non existent, but I remember asking him & he said “I appreciate you for asking, of course you can.” From that moment, during the several months working for Natoora, I delivered to him & just watching him prep and get ready for the day was a privilege enough. he asked me if I wanted to become a chef & I told him it’s one of my many dreams & he says I can get after it whenever I’m ready, just observe & accept failure before you do so you can learn how to run it the way I want it too. One of the many things I’ll always take in remembrance when that day comes.

This is 100% pure passion. The way he talks about learning how to make pasta, and how experiences inspire the dishes, is just passion. It may sound pretentious sure, but find anyone passionate about something and tell me that doesn't happen there either. Working his butt off in a tiny restaurant to make the best pasta he possibly can, is a labor of love. Bravo, Chef Secchi, you're living the dream we all strive for.

I could eat it every week, or even make it myself. Yet, I think it's incredible to see how much they try to keep this tradition alive and to let people taste it in the other side of the world, grinding every day. Hope they get the recognition they deserve.

I absolutely love his excitement for the eggs… My daughter and I have raised eggs from day one trying to get the orangest yolks possible. Digging under our 125 orange tree grove for earth worms, whatever bugs we could find and greens. Then fighting over who got to eat the orangest egg. It’s clear to me that every aspect of what he cooks and the ingredients he works with he understands what is the best.

I love food projects like the one you're doing. I've seen a video on Worth it in which there's a chicken farm in Japan that sells expensive high-quality eggs, and their yolks are a bright red orange color. The owner said this is cuz he also feeds his chickens chili powder on top of their normal feed. Doesn't affect the taste, it's just for natural coloring. I thought this might provide some ideas.

He has such a passion for his craft and you can tell with every enthusiastic word and look. The ending interview was nothing but awe-inspiring and you absorb the passion in yourself. This episode is an artwork, and so is the food. I questioned my capability in the culinary field and switch careers left and right trying to find a passion for something while chasing money. I miss the rush of working in kitchens a lot and that feeling of watching people light up eating my food. I’ve been on the fence about going back to culinary school and he’s single-handedly convinced me. Will be stopping in next time I visit the city because it’s only 45 minutes away. Congratulations, Chef, you’re now the mentor for the new generation.

Such an admirable chef. His passion for his craft is so amazing.
Chef Sechhi is charismatic, genuine and likeable. What a wonderfully honest episode! I’m going to make it a point to visit his restaurant the next time I’m in New York 👏🏻
Honestly I just wanna save up go there and say f*ck it and order everything. I mean this is passion and what i luv to see in young cooks just a blessing.
impressive that he hand rolls his pasta!!! Never seen anyone from the US doing it. It’s truly a craft and so hard to learn and do… good to see how the tradizione romagnola is being brought forward thousands of miles away… bravi ragazzi
This is the best episode I have watched so far; no pretentious plating just straight to the point because the effort gone into dish and the ingredients in them are already of the highest quality. Amazing.
Incredible passion in his eyes. I'm actually speechless for how cool he is.
20 bucks is not nearly enough for that amount of truffle
Haven't seen a Chef with so much PASSION in a long time!! I SALUTE!!
I watch this video like 3 times a week lol I have never been so tranced by pasta making an a chef. This dude radiates what it means to be passionate about cooking.
That is passion! Speechless here. I had to watch it 3 times in a row. Stefano, thank you for sharing some insights in your magic! Good luck for Stefano & team.
I love pasta. This right here is the passion the love an the labor for the pastas, Fresh pasta is the only only way with fresh fresh ingredients. I’ll come to this restaurant anytime for my Italian crazy 💯
This is the best chef video I have ever seen. It's beautiful and intimate and honest. Thanks for sharing your passion and your soul. I appreciate it very much. Grassi :)
Sat through this entire video with intense ADD and i never sit through anything. That's how good this video is.
Was just gonna watch a little bit of this but this chef dragged me in with his passion and love for pasta. Such a great video
Wow that is some real passion. You can really see how excited he is to talk about pasta and his experiences.
he learned well and you can feel that he takes everything to heart.it's not everyday you get the chance to live your passion.more power to your business!
So much passion that is uplifting. You do not see that often enough in restaurants, mad respect.
Never been one for the overly fine dining scene but this is one of the few scenes outside of some of the Japanese fine dining experiences I've seen where there is such and intense passion for the traditional way of making these dishes, along with a respectful adaptation to the area the chef serves. Really amazing stuff and I don't doubt for a second that these dishes should be priced higher
This guy is just incredible. The passion and desire to keep authentic flavors and cuisine alive. No screaming, nothing getting thrown. His food is doing his talking for him. His ego is a healthy level. I'd love to eat at this place
It makes me emotional to see an actual preparation of true pasta ripiena in the most correct way possible. Tears of joy have been spent.
Love the passion and love of this guy, it is his whole life, everything he wants is to blow people right out of their socks, I understand why the investor come by and wanted to taste :D
Chef Secchi is absolutely brilliant! Pure love and passion for his food
It's awesome to see his beautiful passion amd drive to honor his ancestors and mentors. His raw, unfiltered passion is a dying art form.
This is a vocation to this chef and his team. A joy to watch and salivating throughout! Great episode and really well filmed and presented, thank you.
Love It!!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us~ what a treat, and not stupid~ many will greatly appreciate it. May your restaurant prosper and bring numerous Smiles! Well done indeed~!!!
WHOA that sudden monk was unexpected lmao
You can see it in chef Stefano's face that he loves what he does, his enthusiasm about their food makes you want to try it.
Incredible to see someone do something they enjoy every single day of their life. Absolute passion in his cooking, hats off chef I gotta try that pasta.
What a great video! The look into the mind of a Michelin-Star chef was amazingly insightful. Him feeding Tony Shalhoub was the cherry on top. What a legend. I couldn't help but imagine Mr. Monk's reaction to some guy trying to spoon feed him. Made me lol.
