This reminds me of the time payless shoe store opened a store called Palessi and told everyone it was a Parisian botique store and sold shoes at higher mark up.
I’ve been to a few high-end restaurants where the food was so weird and unappetizing we looked around for hidden cameras to see if we were getting punk’d. So I’m not surprised!
I wonder how all the trans sex hormones affect the taste in Phillips milk - you know it is not easy to transition from a cow to a milk producing steer - Oh, Phyllis, we hardly knew you !
For the backstory, this started off with a kid named Mehran that basically liked cooking for his roommates. Initially, the location was just his shared place. The friends would drop glowing reviews and named the place on Google Maps. Eventually, they opened up a fake website. After getting a waiting list of almost a year, they decided to open a one-off restaurant day.
They sent put invites to pretentious people who would never admit they've never heard of an "exclusive" restaurant. This was a better planned money grab than Fyre Festival.
Not going to lie that all looked so good. It goes to show you how easily people will blindly follow or want for something without even knowing anything about it. It reminds me of the Frasier episode with the spa and all the different rooms.
That's clever and hilarious. I find that as for dining out, my wife and I can typically cook something just as good in our own kitchen. It cost less, that's for sure.
As someone who grew up in a rich society of wine makers where fine dining is no strager to us, i gotta say this is hilarious. The atmosphere is so ugly its basically just a plain white box of a room with a projector screen showing a fire place. That alone is enough for me to think this is a scam. Crazy how some people would buy anything that has a fine dining label on it just because. If you ever want real fine dining, go to my hometown in Napa valley, we'll treat you right 😉
How many of them was asked by the “chef” if the food was great.. with them replying, yes but at the back of their mind they’re like “This taste normal” 😂
Reminds me of an old Murphy Brown episode where pretentious people at an art gallery were going on and on about the rope line, sheet and cord of the exhibit and then Eldin pulled the cord to expose his artwork on the ceiling! 😂
I've never 😂 so hard at these UPPITY PEOPLE....that usually look down there noses at others......chalk one up for THE GOOD GUYS..... EXCELLENT PRANK....5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you have to wait over a year for reservations, no one was surprised that they got in so quickly (and also never heard of the place a few months ago)?
😂😂😂 Just like Artwork its all about what the rich want people to believe something is worth and people to validate that sentiment publicly for the masses to see. And thats why the middle class represents a problem to rich and extremely poor. They were happy not chasing wealth at all costs . Instead choosing to pursue things like family happiness, religion...in my opinion.
I don't understand how a so-called food critique was duped by this!?!? She obviously isn't good at her job. Any critique worth their salt would know every top restaurant in town.... 😂
Fine dining is about socializing, not the food. It's marketing and promotion. They could have served Big Macs and baked potatoes. But hey, they were selected from an "exclusive list". Gastronomy is nothing more than food prepared and arranged on a fancy table. As long as the diners enjoyed their evening, it was a success.
Some people can be overly pretentious when it comes to restaurants. It's a shame that it has become so prevalent in America. You can tell just by their body language that most if not all, felt entitled. Those who ordered milk felt extra special 😂😂
Kind of proves how the American brain has been under advertising’s spell for 60+years, now. People will go to great lengths to promote an image of themselves to total strangers. They want to eat at the restaurant, not for their palette, but for others’ envy.
I feel like the guest were likely in on it. The goal was to probably hold a fun event where people can just go along with the fancy schmancy while them also sharing the existence of it in their social media, making it the ultimate "you had to be there" sorta thing.
Its crazy that even teenagers can keep a business longer than a business that is from 19s but still got shouted at by gordon ramsey, yet the craziest that they never got any complain

This milk in a jug is from a cow from Uganda named Philip 😭😭😭 😭😭I’m still crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And so darn special it still got served in a plastic jug...😂😂

it wasn't fake. it was just...... REGULAR

just like any fancy out there
That's a down payment for the salad right there.
@@Kingwolfieit was 100 bucks for a table
so? if someone is that sthpd to spend it on something like that then they deserve to be faked out. nobody should be consuming animal flesh anyways
I’m so confused… how does a random restaurant just come about, while no one questions its authenticity?
Really and no one from the health department checking the joint to see the credentials of the proprietor?
How dare they question such an amazing experience that they were invited to out of the blue lol

It’s New York, crazy new things and experiences pop up all the time lol

So… nobody questioned why the milk came from a bull? Lol
It's perfect. Rich city fops would never know the difference between a cow and a bull, and this guy was counting on their urban sheltered ignorance.
@@Kira1Lawlietvery clever 😂
It's probably a cow named Carol choosing to identify as a bull.

No one that has actually been to a 5 star would have been fooled. You can tell by the table set up this place was a sham.
Hype 101. He played everybody to a science. This is how you market yourself, no matter how great or mediocre your product actually is.
That’s hysterical and I hope they made so money doing it.
They really had people STEAKING their expectations!

I was thinking of the episode where Frasier and Niles open their own restaurant, the staff run out and Niles and Daphne have to cook for everyone.
The cow from Uganda named Philip is what got me 😂🤣
A late April Fools Prank performed to the public in the restaurant.
This is literally what “fancy restaurants” do. Lol so good for them 👏
This reminds me of the Payless palessi prank 😂😂😂
Oh yeaaa I remember that one! 😂😂
Them fools paid $200 for some great value milk
actually so genius! hope to see them do more stuff in the future
If the video game StarField was a restaurant, it would be this joint 😂
True
As a Ugandan in Uganda, I Laughed so hard about the Ugandan Cow's milk🤣🤣🤣
That's nothing i once ate at the exclusive "Chez Taco Bell" with no reservations!. LOL!.
Gordon Ramsay’s gonna be pretty upset when he sees people don’t know how to cook and it’s still raw
Restaurant guests: How fake do you want this?

This reminds me when Payless pranked people into thinking they were buying high end shoes
What does it say about the New York times food writer if she didn't know that this was a hoax and got swindled that easily? 😂
Not going to lie, that steak does look tasty. Not 10,000$ worth but a good 30-40$ range.
Yeah, the food looked really good.
The steak was $114

next they hire fake defense lawyers 😀
A cow from Uganda called Philip 💀💀💀 omg 😂
The role of perception in marketing.
Finally, a prank that's actually funny and doesn't involve physically harming people.
The name of Philip has been tarnished. He is a male cow! Doesn’t give milk 😂😂

This shows, just because it looks fancy doesn’t mean it’s high quality 👍
😂😂😂 when you see expensive dishes with a spoon portion of icecream for $50. Me looking at my $5 pint of ice 😂😂😂😂
Need to know how the food critic rated it. All things considered - the steak looked great!😄
😂
I'm Ugandan. Cows here have names like Siina, Bihogo, .... not Phillip.
If there was a Phillip, it would be a bull, so no milk. 😂
Pranking is the order of the day

Moral of the story “eat all you can eat because it’s your last meal there”!😂😅
Love it 😂 Just as funny as the Payless shoe stunt. 😂😂😂
This is not a fraud. They got all the proper permits, they rented a space. Its called a pop up restaurant.
Love how this restaurant further underscores the themes of the movie “The Menu”.
It’s all fun and games until they’re sued for fraud.

we do a little trolling
I went to a high-end dining establishment in Chicago once and my friend threw up afterwards. I guess it wasn't that great.😒
Well,the semen sauce was real.....
😂🤮🤮🤮
This isn't a prank. This is a mastermind at work. They say the poor will eat the rich, I can't see a better example.
He literally did the exact same thing fancy restaurants do
So I guess they're all a hoax
They should of just said the milk is “Wagu” milk 😂
If I was the owner of the shop, the dude would be fired and sued, and the customer would only pay for parts.
My jaws dropped at how shocking thus is!!
