    watched a good 2 hours of these staff canteen videos. This gentleman shines through as a true craftsman, knows his trade and created a bangin plate. Old school with an evolving understanding.

    If you read Larousse gastronomique, there are so many techniques in there that are used that are still used today. Sous vide today is poaching in a pigs bladder back in the day for instance. Or en vessie as its called in French

    Please boycott the Ritz: it is owned by the dictatorial family from Qatar. Apart from all the classics (no freedom of speech, no free press, tortures…), LGBT people are persecuted and women are second class citizens. If all that is not enough, migrant workers from poor asian countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, India…) work there in near-slavery conditions , specially during the construction of the infrastructures of the recent football cup. Give your money to someone else. Javi Caballero (Spain).
