    Hey Chefsteps! I enjoy all your videos and watch them all the time. I was just wondering if you've ever thought about making a video regarding plating. I love the way you make your dishes simple but elegant. You use many styles, composition, and techniques. Thanks again. Keep up the great work!

    Basically, smaller portions, drizzle here and there, and stack the pieces of the dish on top of each other. Garnish is optional. Didn't really need a video on it when its kind of clear when you visit a restaurant. I would have preferred to hear Grant talk like Harry from Kingsman explaining how it works, what works well with what, the kind of plate to serve on, how to present the dish, how to insure the consumer knows that everything is edible instead of leaving the garnish out, and maybe teach us why smaller portions are used when plating in high end restaurants.

    short answer: a sharp knife is the best. There is no 'best knife'. All knives have their purposes, but in general, a good sharp Chef's Knife is good enough for most of the work you do in a kitchen. For me there's the holy trinity: a small Paring Knife, a big Chef's Knife and a Filleting Knife. I can do about 95% of my work with those three. The other 5% is a bread knife :D There's a whole lot of others that are better suited for particular tasks, but a skilled chef will only need these three. If you are not a professional cook and use knives only at home, I don't advice buying those super expensive ones. They will look nice, but you will not use their potential and waste money. Just get a good sharp one and watch your fingers ;)

  • @InnuendoXP

    @made md - point of fine dining when you could get a $1 cheeseburger is kinda like the point of going to a concert or gallery when you could just turn on the radio or open up google images, or the point of driving a luxury or sports car when a second hand honda hatchback will get you from A to B just fine. It's not 'necessary' and it doesn't service anything that the other doesn't suffice, but you enjoy it a shitload more. You benefit from experiencing something about as well as it could be experienced. Things become a joy to experience when done well is the point of fine dining. Or even casual dining. For an extreme comparison if it's a choice between eating a bowl of perfectly crisp and fluffy roast potatoes at a comfortable seat and table, or chowing down on a slurry of oil, water, salt and potato flour on a chair in an alleyway, though the nutritional content is similar and they serve the same function of biomechanical utlility, the difference is clear. Fine dining when done well, is just the other extreme end of this spectrum.
