We Put 12 Cameras in A Tiny Restaurant Kitchen on Friday Night | Bon Appétit
Ойын-сауық
How does a high-end, perennially busy Chinese restaurant in New York City keep the plates coming? Emmeline Zhao, Managing Partner at Silver Apricot in New York's West Village, leads us behind the scenes for an all access look at how the staff handles a busy Friday evening rush, serving hundreds of consistently high-quality small plates a night from their 90 square foot kitchen.

I'm in awe. With these videos you get so much appreciation for the hardwork that goes into what we eat. Always be nice to your servers and praise the people who make your food. 😊
This is incredibly impressive how much you do with such a small space and so few people.
Okay this is humbling and awe inspiring. What a fabulous story. I love the boss running that pass 1000/10 so clean so professional. The three in the kitchen re-heating or second step assembling WOW OMFG these guys are good!!! This is obviously such a respectful team who truly cares about the food they are surviving. 1000/10 again wow wow wow so well done on everyone’s part. Fantastic!!!!
BA this is the best content youve made a while please keep up this series

I absolutely loved this video! I hope this video gets the respect it so much deserves! I have done this job for the better part of my life, after having kids (just before Covid) changed jobs. But life at the pass still gets me, it was always a trill to get the evening rolling! Much love!
Does no one else feel sorry for this staff? I admire their skill but those working conditions are unsustainable.

Almost every restaurant has "unsustainable" working conditions. Working in a kitchen is probably one of the most stressful jobs on the planet. There's rarely any time to rest for a minute.
Keep making this series!!
BA needs to make more videos like this. Showing the same people in their test kitchen gets a little boring, but never when Brad is involved!
Admirable kitchen staff. Valuable content. Great narration. Perfect clip length.
I love this series coz I can understand how the kitchen works.
I love this. Got some efficiency tips for my small cafe kitchen.
Loved this video format!
Great video! Hope this is a continuing series.
With 15 yrs in the food service industry, I thought this would give flashbacks. LOL It did not but it did delight me to bits! Passionate restauranteurs talking out their PROCESS!!! Yes! Special Interest Monologue!
I love this video format. Do more please !!!
This was really fascinating. Thanks
loved this!!
Excellent video! Such dedication in such tight quarters! Great looking food too!
We need more content like this. I like to see how other chefs and restaurant owners run their kitchen.
Very cool content this, would love to see more of this format!
What a beautifully well oiled machine. In such a confined space. Very impressive.
one of my fave series!! more plss
Love these vids. Make me wanna go out to eat!
I love this video format
Every time i see videos like this, i am blown away by the amount of labor and product is needed to run a restaurant regardless of size. I cherish every meal i have at any restaurant
Super interesting to see, want more of this type of videos.
Love this!
more of these videos i loved this one
Please do more of these!
This is truly excellent content!
outstanding indeed.
Great series. Do many more of these.
What an amazing team!
I love these multi cam episodes. The diner one is rad too!
what a sick video I always wondered. Thank you!
Outstanding!
very fascinating!
So impressed!
in my college days, i worked in BIG line kitchens. bravo for working in such a small space. FYI: love the content.
This is insane and impressive. The cooks deserve a bigger kitchen!
That was astounding. Small, tight, efficient and high quality. Very admirable and likely to stay around for quite some time. Great vid 😎👍🏼
Amazing!!! 😍
So much respect for everyone in the kitchen!
That was great 👏🏼
Awesome insight video! Would love to see more videos based on a day in the life of a chef.
LOVE THESE TYPE OF VIDEOS 👏🏽👏🏽 Still go back and watching the morning service with the blueberry 🫐 pancakes 🥞 😮💨💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Omg best vid 💯
Wow. Awesome vid.

those 3 chefs cook, plate and garnish all by themselves its amazing. best treat them well cuz otherwise im sure every other restaurant in the city will snatch these guys up.
Cool!
did she intentionally give away the chicken because it didnt have the perfect zigzag and mask it as a mistake so that the chef could do it again for the right table who ordered?
very nice
The induction stoves also help with reducing the amount of unwanted heat
I worked in a restaurant for 10 years, 6 years as a Lead/server and 4 years as a manager. The only thing I miss is the food, that's it haha
This reminds me of how I managed to cook for 6 people in my apartment with about 30x30cm of counter space left to prep everything, except on top worldclass restaurant level. Absolutely amazing!
this restaurant seems amazing! the only thing I wish that they use tray to serve food
Well done Chefs
I didn't even notice this was BA 👀 well done 👏🏼
Insane
