    Nice work on your first plate and no, of course we don't think you're a fraud 😂 If anything, you are one of the realest in the niche of food influencer in a pro kitchen. Also always a lot of respect for you for showing everything you do as a stage, including and especially after service. I think it's one of the least glamorous parts of the job and given how there's usually a vibe influencers/online personalities try to give off, I always enjoy how you dont shy away from doing and showing the hard work. Chef Gill is a whole vibe 😆 We do love anti-gatekeepers like him and (seems like) everyone you get to work with!

    Dude. This is incredible. Not just as a really fascinating insight into restaurant kitchens but as a testament to the value of hard work and passion and a perfect example of their intersection. It's a life goal of mine to eat in a Michelin restaurant one day. To see how one operates through your lens, with personable characters and the realism you bring, is truly amazing.

    You can have a very difficult job with a lot of things to do, but if you're in a place where you have peace where there are no fights all the time, you can do it, but when you're in a place with rude people and with a lot of noise and fights, the simple thing becomes very hard to do it.

    I am sure you know that, but the caption/subtitles could be confusing to some: when he talks about the „mezzaluna“ the term means „half moon“ and is referring to the shape and not the variety of doughs used to make this pasta. Mezzaluna can also be made out of a single type of dough. And I think brunoise are way more coarse then the shallots (or anything else) that is „haché-ed“. And when Chef Dan tells the story about the French laundry: I think it was Anthony Bourdaine who told that story… not 100% sure though.
