I'm not gonna lie, when I think of a French Michelin star chef, I picture a pretentious person with big ego but this chef was the exact opposite. What a great man, he deserves all of his success. Even made a point to say his kitchen was a team effort. On a side note, I have never seen a grilled steak that perfectly cooked - looked like a reverse sear.

The chemistry between JG and JW was way greater than I thought it would be, what a super wholesome video!

I was privileged to work for JG at his flagship in the early 2010s. It was tough--we were expected to be on point all day, every day-but he legitimately is *that* nice and fosters an environment where if you are enthusiastic, disciplined, and willing to learn, you will succeed. I will never forget the day he had many of his staff to a BBQ at his home north of NYC and still have a picture of all of us in his pool. Also super grateful I worked pastry and didn’t have to cut an onion 😂

Cooking to me is self expression so its really nice this chef was so caring and heartfelt. In America we are so used to seeing Gordan Ramsey just yell and be just critical this guy seems to foster the passion of younger cooks and inspire and teach in a non condescending way. Truly amazing change of pace.

I have spend 20 years as a professional chef and the industry can be pretty brutal. It really warms my heart and gives me hope to see this collaboration. This is what is missing today vs. the cooking show beat down competitions out there. Such a pleasure to see two gentlemen Chefs being positive, sharing, and putting out amazing food.

Jean seems like such a genuine, kind guy who is excited to have Josh in the kitchen with him. It's like they were friends in a friendly competition and he was proud of what Josh had done. Not to mention, he had charisma and humor, he and Josh really vibed well together. Loved this collaboration!

Every so often I come by a content creator that really makes me smile. This guy does it for me. Thanks for the videos. Subscribed and looking forward to watching them all.

JG could sense Josh was a little nervous being back on the shop floor. Gave him some earned applause without patronising and built his confidence up to get the best out of him Josh showed a lot of respect to the boss and didn't act childish or 'youtuber-y' Great to watch

Yeah for sure! There's a j kenji Lopez alt reddit AMA video where someone asked him about eating with the queen, Bourdain and ramsay - and he said he'd eat ramsay & the queen. He explained that it wasn't just a TV character, ramsay actually believes you have to abuse people to push them far enough. A mutual friend actually had ramsay throw a pot of boiling hot sauce at them. It definitely seems like ramsay has moved away from the abusiveness, but still believes you have to push people hard. But yeah it's so toxic and unnecessary, we're finally getting past that idea you need to scream at and beat your employees to be successful

Believe in yourself! Dont be afraid to try new things and to mess up. Obviously I am sure there are some more "naturally" talented cooks, but if you spend enough time reading, watching and practicing new techniques and ingredients, improvements will come fast. Maybe you wont be a Michelin Star chef, but having the mentality for learning what truly is good food and why it is good is very crucial. The industry is super hard and most of the time it is not about quality, but how many customers you can serve. Which can be completely fine if you have the excellence and fines of a world renown chef. I am not amazing at cooking, just ok to be completely honest, however I have seen an amazing improvement in my skills by simply just going and learning. New ingredients, cultures, how the locals use it and possibly (if there is something) how would a more well known chef utilize it.

This was great. Loved the variety and how chill this was. I wish more cooking competitions were like this 😃

That right there is how an true expert, at the top of their field behaves with a younger also skilled individual. Jean was both complementing and teaching Josh throughout this. Beautiful video.

Jg was treating the cooking as a collaboration. It was nice to see the respect and interest he showed into your dish. I’m sure both were fantastic, in my eyes Jw would be a fantastic early dinner meal before a night out of dancing and Jg’s meal would be a fantastic finish to the night before heading home.
