There are other vegetables besides asparagus that are in season. Asparagus is pushed so hard by restaurants, I don’t get the allure. Asparagus is a side, just like carrots, I’m baffled why it’s so commonly presented as an entree

The simple gesture of saying "And share the rest of it with your team" and push the dishes towards them as the risotto segment is finishing makes me respect the chef that much more

Jared did great in this series because he brought the fun, carefree factor and helped Keith relax. I could tell how nervous Keith was, and see his fear in not being taken seriously or offending the chef. I think the juxtaposition of personality to food quality is what makes this show work. Fast food + serious review = funny. Fancy food + silly/fun review = funny. Fancy food + serious review = not funny.

Keith does a great job of making the chef comfortable with him. You can tell at the beginning he was nervous. He’s probably not a big public speaking vibe kinda guy. But by the time they’re making the Risotto he says much more comfortable just chatting with Keith. It’s just Kieth’s whole vibe I think. He has a way with people

The mere fact that Michelin star restaurants are agreeing to having Keith do eat the menu in their establishment's. Is a testament to Keith and the Try Guy's and how far they have come.

Love how knowledgeable and approachable this chef is. To be at the apex of culinary perfection and also come off as a nice, normal person seems like a feat. I keep thinking of the Spongebob episode where he forgets everything but fine dining and breathing - the chef is the real-life version!

I felt the same when they used sea urchins in a dish, cool to see them used since their populations are harmful to kelp forest ecosystems. Animals like sea otters prey on urchins but since their populations have declined since centuries ago sea urchins have been wiping out kelp forests along the west coast. If humans started consuming urchins in some semi-regular capacity it would really help as well.

Honestly Keith I am just so happy for you and the ETM Team! I feel like this is the final evolution of Eat the Menu that you'd always wanted, but it just took a while to get there. Your passion for food really comes through, and I thought it was so sweet of Chef Michael to say (to paraphrase) "yes, make sure your team gets some bites so they can enjoy it too". That's huge! Congratulations! I cannot eat seafood so I probably won't end up going to a lot of these restaurants because they're seafood centric, but i am highly enjoying watching you enjoy and describe the foods and wines/drinks so well. Especially after listening to Desiree's behind the scenes You Can Sit With Us. Here's hoping this season opens up the doors for you guys to be able to continue on with the Michelin restaurants/opportunities!

Can we just acknowledge how bloody wonderful the maitre d'/sommelier/waiter was (I think the subtitles at one point said his name is Neev?) because oh my GOODNESS. Knowledgeable, affable, funny, he did SUCH a good job presenting these dishes. The chef really got a good one there.

It was cool to see the chef break down the lamb honestly, nice to see how they use the whole animal! Also cool to see so much nettle used, I know it's edible but I don't think I would've expected to see it in a 3 star Michelin restaurant!
