What always amazes me about your POV videos, both for the kitchen and bar, is how unrushed it all feels. You guys are crazy busy, and you're completing orders to match, but at no point does it feel like you're in a serious hurry to do anything. It demonstrates really impressive technical and logistical skill to make that level of productivity appear so casual.

It really is about confidence and leadership though. If you have a chef that's constantly stressing out the kitchen with stress calls, then the kitchen loses confidence. The kitchen staff feel rushed and then they get demoralized. But as you see here, even when someone overcooked a plate, the chef simply said "fire another one." And that was that. No condescending attitude, no harsh tone, and not a word of disappointment or disapproval in the other chef's skills or abilities. Just straight forward constructive criticism on a mistake made and that's that. The kitchen moves at the pace of the chef, and vice versa. It's a synchronicity and this crew has it.

@@seanhettenbach2101 Exactly right. We all love watching Gordon Ramsay and Hell's Kitchen and whatnot but that's not what you want in your kitchen. You don't want a chef stressing out the rest of the kitchen. You want your chef to be a level-headed leader and the best way to show that is maintaining composure when things get busy.

Can I just say. The way you help and guided the chef with the bean dish was refreshing to see. With any job making mistakes can be scary because you may not know the leadership style, and it can truly ruin you with anxiety of failing!!.

Its the que of a great leader. Sometimes telling someone they are not performing up to par is necessary, but a great leader distinguishes between an honest mistake and a dumb mistake. They're dealt with very differently. Taking the time to empower members of your team and teach them is SO important, but if there was the case of someone making a mistake because they weren't paying attention over multiple times or werent listening consistently there are steps that need to be taken. It just should never be straight to the meanness, it should be approached always with the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. I think a lot of leaders fail to recognize the importance of patience and consideration for their teams performance. Also many dont recognize the need for self-reflection if the team is underperforming.

I really wish I worked with more chefs like you guys in the past. Dealt with nothing but chaotic chefs in my career. Constant stress calls and yelling or harsh tones/ Condescending language. Appreciate your videos. Keep putting out killer food! 👌

I had the pleasure of eating here a couple months ago it was honestly amazing I loved all the food and the cocktails I had.I couldn't recommend it more to my friends. The team were outstanding as well and made me feel comfortable which helped as I was eating by myself. Did feel weird sitting on the chef counter watching the chef working away since I'm usually the one in the kitchen but was good seeing how other chefs work. Will definitely be back next time I'm in London

ive been leaving out the action from kitchen for quite some time,but seeing you in this atmosphere, totally litted up my passion. you totally conduct such wondorous orchestra there. amazing. organized, calm, and straightforward with your way of cooking. outstanding chef. ❤

Your videos provide gorgeous but grueling insight into the lives of various chefs at your restaurant. I applaud you.

I miss that feeling so much.... That rush I used to get from being on the pass.. such joy and passion, especially with a good crew behind you... Over 20 years experience in the kitchen and I started late, about 24 years old...as a prep cook/dishwasher, and it was the best career I ever had,.. I'm 54, just had quadruple bypass, and have arthritis in my ankles, so no more kitchen for me unfortunately, but I now teach students and help restaurant businesses where needed. This is only the third video I watched from you and each one has brought back so many great memories...Thank you very much.

Chef! You did double taste, but I respect you so much. You and your team r amazing.

This is fantastic to watch, huge thanks @Fallow for doing this. Your work ethos is golden, particularly how you help and encourage other members of this brilliant team. Keep them coming. Subbed. Interestingly (light-heartedly :) though with a good level of truth), while watching several videos and my own experience as a customer in various restaurants over the years, one of the most important ingredients to so many dishes is...the sauce! particularly the sauce that's creatively poured over meats etc (and into the little sauce jugs). --> While it does happen(obviously), the %age of folk who will happily eat with no sauce is vastly outnumbered by those who 'need' a sauce, so.... I'm going to open a restaurant myself, and I'm going to call it "Saucy". The primary component will be.....sauce. I think I'm on to a winner ;)

Anyone else put off by the spoon? He kept eating from it and chucking it back in that mini sink with slow running water, then picking it back up using it again chucking it back in, then used it to serve a sauce on someone's food, it got dunked into loads of different things and at no point was it washed properly.

I agree. While I very much respect the consistency provided by tasting food all night, I always kept a separate container of plastic spoons for this exact purpose. These guys do a fantastic job and I certainly don’t want to take away from anything, but I also notice that the garnish for several dishes are inconsistent. He sells a Cod head earlier with only the red sauce on it, but later he garnishes with sauce and a small green squirt bottle. I didn’t see anything on the ticket or callout that would indicate the difference, and my brain can’t help but notice that same sort of change in garnish that I see on a lot of the same dishes.

I could probably look at the menu somewhere, but how many different entrees does your restaurant serve and how many different appetizers? I've watched probably 5 or 6 videos so far and so far I've noticed everyone orders pretty much the same like 4-5 dishes and the same 1-2 appetizers. I really love the videos by the way, this looks like a really fun and rewarding job but I don't think I'd be able to learn all of this.

Could you explain the green highlighter and black sharpie on the checks, I assume black sharpie means gone but what about the green? 🤔

how many tables are there and what is the average time to prepare a table's orders? Do you serve dishes as they are ready or wait to serve the whole table together?

You know i was going to talk shit about how this guys just expediting and how he's just standing there eating, but after i saw you help out the cook with the green beans and explained to him how they needed to be cooked i totally have respect for you. You even gave him pointers in having the mustard out instead of the vinegar causd he wont be needing it. Its tiny details like those that help out on the line.
