This is so cool to see. The narrating of Neil Kleinberg is really calming and he explains everything so well. This exactly shows how it works in restaurants. Please more videos like this Bon Appétit!

Agreed! The pace is just as frenetic as any other kitchen, but the head chef really seems to foster a lower-stress environment, rather than yelling and berating like you so commonly see. And the food looks amazing!

I've worked in kitchens my whole life, and I have to say that was about the least chaotic kitchen I've ever seen. I guess cause they just have so many people working, and not dumping the entire load on 2 people. So very well organized with lots of stations to make it all go smooth. Very nicely done.

Really enjoyed the more monologue-style presentation of the restaurant. It feels like it gives more insight into what they do and why they do it.

Despite being the busiest brunch restaurant, all the workers remained cool, calm, and collected. Nothing ever gets spilled on the floors or somebody accidentally tripping over. The whole behind the scenes process is mesmerizing.

@@xXKuroXx100 Here it is 😀 Ingredients 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder 3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon coarse salt 6 large eggs, separated 3 cups whole milk 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 teaspoons unmelted for cooking 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups blueberries or sliced bananas and 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar for dusting (optional) Maple Butter for Neil's Pancakes Directions Step 1 Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Step 2 In medium bowl, whisk together yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. Whisk yolk mixture into flour mixture until just combined; batter will be slightly lumpy. Step 3 Place egg white in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or whisk by hand, until medium peaks form. Gently mix half the egg whites into batter with a rubber spatula. Gently fold in remaining whites. The egg whites should not be fully incorporated into the batter. Step 4 Heat a griddle until hot, about 350 to 375 degrees. Add remaining unmelted butter to hot griddle. Add 1/4 cup pancake batter and let set. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon blueberries or sliced bananas and 1 teaspoon chopped walnuts, if using, over pancakes. When bubbles begin to form, lift pancake; if golden brown, turn. Cook until golden brown on remaining side. Step 5 Transfer cooked pancake to a plate and keep warm. Repeat process with remaining batter, fruit, and nuts. Garnish with confectioners' sugar for blueberry pancakes and cinnamon sugar for banana-walnut. Serve warm with maple butter.

This is clearly a man who loves his job, and is proud of his restaurant and the team he works with.

Love this video. Finally, someone NARRATES what is happening and WHY, and super important uses word graphic overlays on the video to point out things. Wow. More video producers need to take the time to user graphic and text overlays to highlight what is being looked at, IN DETAIL.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE feature more restaurants EXACTLY like this!!! 🔥🔥🔥

I love seeing such a well organized and coordinated kitchen! Really a cool presentation with all the camera angles too.

Couldn’t of sed it better I liked the multiple cameras and him explaining like after the fact the video was shot It was eggcellent!😊

Love this format, the multi-cam with narration. It makes the experience of being in a kitchen more real, if y'all can do more of these it'd be amazing!

I love the honesty in the presentation. It's a lot of work to coordinate, and even when things are organized to this level, mistakes will happen. Have a system in place for when the system breaks down. Have a system for when That one breaks down. Level heads, clear communication. No wonder these guys have been around forever.

"and then we took the book away" LOL this was the best part.

First hand narration is such a cool way to understand what’s happening. Love the passion and humour

This is amazing would love to see a series of this with different restaurants.

Do more of these types of restaurant shows, just great

The amount of organization and teamwork that goes into the back of house at a restaurant is just incredible!

I would love more behind the scenes at different eateries.

As a born and raised New Yorker can proudly say these are some of the best pancakes in NYC

I hope the poor employee who put the camera over the heat didn't get too chewed out for the melting incident.

having been in the industry for far too long now, this was a great video. what a well run kitchen, i love to see it. "and then we took the book away" lmfao

That was really well made. A joy to watch and so intriguing. Gotta check this place out now

The editing in this is spectacular, it feels like I'm watching a crime movie, something like Casino or Goodfellas with the naration and multiple shots in each frame.

Absolutely love this lowkey vibe, this was a super interesting watch

thank you for running a calm kitchen, for respecting your workers and being a stand up gentleman!

"we had a little sign-in book at the front desk and some person said, 'I want to rub this maple butter all over my partner's body,,,' and then we took the book away" (9:04) HAHAHAHA

Being able to see the innerworkings of a typical restaurant is such a fun amazing opportunity and gives even more appreciation for the work they do. Good video.

please make more of these into a whole big series

This was amazing to watch! thank you for the inside look into your kitchen definitely want to go and dine in some day soon

absolutely loving the new style of videos you’ve been putting out! all the features on these different restaurants has been super interesting!

As an ex chef, I’ve gotta say this is a great way to show how the kitchen on breakfast service actually works. Great great video 👍🏻

Seeing this functioning kitchen after a Kitchen Nightmares binge is pretty jarring, ngl

As someone who has worked in a diner for the last 10 years, it's fun to watch how you guys do things different than we do. I think we're fortunate in a way to have the expo station on the other side of the heat lamp to give everyone a little more room to breathe - but you can't argue with having a bakery downstairs. Great video, thanks for sharing. Kinda helps the average person to understand how it can take quite a few minutes for their scrambled eggs to come out after they order them, and that as hard as everyone tries to make everything perfect, mistakes do occasionally happen.

MAKE IT A SERIES PLS THIS IS GREAT

One of the best burgers in the city. Cool to see where it's made

Please keep this type of series going, such amazing insights!

A VIP Pass behind the curtain. Bravo. Keep these coming 🚀

just tried this restaurant last saturday, pancakes and bacon were delicious! FYI if you dont want to wait 1-2 hours, reserve in advance

Props to all my fellow Latino line cooks. Latinos are the backbone of the food industry 💪🏽

This is *fascinating* to watch. More of this please!

That maple butter is such a boss concept. Nice

It's just.. night and day. The difference of a poached egg perfectly poached being put on a potato pancake. Perfection.

God I could not imagine having to poach eggs in a busy kitchen environment. That guy is a super star.

This was absolutely my fave episode of any type of food or restaurant in the day of the life or like digging into how other restaurants do it And the owner is so calm and cool headed tho what a good place those caramelized bananas look amazing!!! Thanks for the video!

This is gorgeously made and edited and narrated

I want more of this.. our work as cooks is like an orchestra BOH is pure 🔥

loved it, very well documented and narrated. Excellent job!!

Loved this. Loved the narration (charming) and the filming.

Beautiful! Every blessing 🙏

This was fascinating and awesome and I hardly ever comment here any more. I always assumed with the sheer volume of these places most stuff would be reheated but it's all fresh. Impressive. Can't wait to visit next time I'm in NYC!

I loved this! Could watch a thousand more featuring different restaurants

Love this video, hopefully you guys post more videos of other kitchens.

Great narration and generally fascinating to watch. Best BA video I've watched in a long time (not watched many since the big exodus, mind).

I’ve never really worked in a restaurant like this so it’s very interesting to see how it all works behind the scenes and the communication between the different teams!

Awesome video, one of the best, really should be an ongoing format, very insightful.

Delicious food made by thoughtful and hardworking people. Thats how a successful business is run. Thank you for your service,

Loved this and Neil has such a soothing voice!

This restaurant is actually so yummy I’ve been coming here since I was in high school over a decade ago. I would come with my high school sweetheart 🥰 It’s almost annoying that it’s so good because it’s very popular thus making the wait pretty long. That being said it’s worth the wait and I’m a fan of the banana walnut pancakes actually !! I love both but banana has my heart.

I have an immense appreciation for restaurant chefs and line cooks and this is why! Great look behind the scenes!

I love working an a Well communicated kitchen. "Communication" is the key! Great video! Keep up the hard work

Nice to see a manager who appreciates their staff. Why did I watch this before bed.

Loving these videos!

i worked at a restaurant and i love how instead of looking for who to blame of the mistake that happened, they worried about how to fix the problem and get going

Amazing and everything looks delicious ❤
