Check out chef Aiden's perspective of the same service here: • POV: Chef at a Famous ...
What always amazes me about your POV videos, both for the kitchen and bar, is how unrushed it all feels. You guys are crazy busy, and you're completing orders to match, but at no point does it feel like you're in a serious hurry to do anything. It demonstrates really impressive technical and logistical skill to make that level of productivity appear so casual.
It really is about confidence and leadership though. If you have a chef that's constantly stressing out the kitchen with stress calls, then the kitchen loses confidence. The kitchen staff feel rushed and then they get demoralized. But as you see here, even when someone overcooked a plate, the chef simply said "fire another one." And that was that. No condescending attitude, no harsh tone, and not a word of disappointment or disapproval in the other chef's skills or abilities. Just straight forward constructive criticism on a mistake made and that's that. The kitchen moves at the pace of the chef, and vice versa. It's a synchronicity and this crew has it.
Most kitchens are not like that I gave up cooking years ago its bad for your health!.
idk if being told to make another one bc they fucked up is constructive criticism lmao its just hey this is fucked remake it@@seanhettenbach2101
@@seanhettenbach2101 Exactly right. We all love watching Gordon Ramsay and Hell's Kitchen and whatnot but that's not what you want in your kitchen. You don't want a chef stressing out the rest of the kitchen. You want your chef to be a level-headed leader and the best way to show that is maintaining composure when things get busy.
any leader chef/ front of house manager/ general manger gets stressed out it bring the whole team down it’s like a snowball effect that’s why the best leaders are the ones that make it in this industry not everyone can do it.
Jack just could not resist eating those beans. He just kept going at it over a good 2 minutes haha
It's them sticky beans they're unresistable
he's still thinking about thos beans
What white sauce he added??
@@dado5162 Butter emulsion said when talking
@@lbonazzola no he said better immersion bruh listen properly
Can I just say. The way you help and guided the chef with the bean dish was refreshing to see. With any job making mistakes can be scary because you may not know the leadership style, and it can truly ruin you with anxiety of failing!!. Thank you for teaching and showing him in a way that wasn't babying but in a way as if to say I know you can do it, you got this. :)

Loved that part. Even tho it’s super busy, he took the time to show the lad
OH yeah 100% a lot of places would make it tough for new people and make them feel bad
Me personally.. I really loved that part. It’s a lot of chefs who wouldn’t approach it like that!
Its the que of a great leader. Sometimes telling someone they are not performing up to par is necessary, but a great leader distinguishes between an honest mistake and a dumb mistake. They're dealt with very differently. Taking the time to empower members of your team and teach them is SO important, but if there was the case of someone making a mistake because they weren't paying attention over multiple times or werent listening consistently there are steps that need to be taken. It just should never be straight to the meanness, it should be approached always with the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. I think a lot of leaders fail to recognize the importance of patience and consideration for their teams performance. Also many dont recognize the need for self-reflection if the team is underperforming.
@@DisDatK9 the moment the leader starts shitting on people instead of helping they are themselves in the shit and something is already going wrong.
I absolutely love the head chef grabbing quick bites here and there the entire video
he took an entire piece of bread from a table lol
Love the fact you have time to always try and make your chefs better by teaching them different ways in how to do a dish. That bit with the beans was great.
I really wish I worked with more chefs like you guys in the past. Dealt with nothing but chaotic chefs in my career. Constant stress calls and yelling or harsh tones/ Condescending language. Appreciate your videos. Keep putting out killer food! 👌
I feel the same way, worked in an Italian restaurant and although I respect my chef for being able to manage the kitchen even during stressful nights, his overall tone and language were quite disgusting.
i love the way you handled the beans, not rude or upset, just teaching. you respect the team and they will respect you back, great teamwork!
Lovely to see you guiding and showing rather than shouting and yelling. That's an exemplary on-the-fly teaching moment.
on the fly sticks better then dry explaining stuff.. imo
19:36 You’re just showin’ off now, Jack! 👏
I had the pleasure of eating here a couple months ago it was honestly amazing I loved all the food and the cocktails I had.I couldn't recommend it more to my friends.
The team were outstanding as well and made me feel comfortable which helped as I was eating by myself.
Did feel weird sitting on the chef counter watching the chef working away since I'm usually the one in the kitchen but was good seeing how other chefs work.
Will definitely be back next time I'm in London
I’m currently on my internship at a 2 Michelin star restaurant in Spain. I love watching your videos after a hard day❤
I’ll be coming to dine in November when I get time off🥳💪🏾
Hey buddy good luck with your internship and understand that it gets easier the more you do it after a while everything will become a second nature to you
Good luck!!
@@scuffedcomedy4819 this really means a lot, thank you so much, I give 1000% everyday💪🏾❤️
@@FallowLondon thank you so much!!!❤️keep up the amazing work
Is it well paying ?
You should collab WIth Ben ebbrel from sorted, to take a day as a chef on fallow.
Pfff please don't
both ben and kush lol
I worked fryer during my first internship, and the workplace was loud, unpleasant and unbearable, so it's nice seeing your kitchen being such an efficient yet light-hearted place.
At first I thought the thumbnail said " 27 Minutes of headache" 😂😂 and i was like, now this is something I've never encountered in RUclips.
Your videos provide gorgeous but grueling insight into the lives of various chefs at your restaurant. I applaud you.
In the midle of servise you still teaching your chefs, what a chef you are mate 🙏🥳💯
Love how spent the time showing the dude how to properly cook the green beans
'POV: Head Chef eats everything in sight at top london restaurant'
i'm also a chef on pass. love to watch the way you organize; call the ticket, switch to cook, train a staff during service. wish to eat-in at your restaurant one day if i have a chance to visit england.
What's the name of it?
ive been leaving out the action from kitchen for quite some time,but seeing you in this atmosphere, totally litted up my passion. you totally conduct such wondorous orchestra there. amazing. organized, calm, and straightforward with your way of cooking. outstanding chef. ❤
Anyone else put off by the spoon? He kept eating from it and chucking it back in that mini sink with slow running water, then picking it back up using it again chucking it back in, then used it to serve a sauce on someone's food, it got dunked into loads of different things and at no point was it washed properly.
yes not cool
I agree. While I very much respect the consistency provided by tasting food all night, I always kept a separate container of plastic spoons for this exact purpose.
These guys do a fantastic job and I certainly don’t want to take away from anything, but I also notice that the garnish for several dishes are inconsistent. He sells a Cod head earlier with only the red sauce on it, but later he garnishes with sauce and a small green squirt bottle. I didn’t see anything on the ticket or callout that would indicate the difference, and my brain can’t help but notice that same sort of change in garnish that I see on a lot of the same dishes.
its probably pissing hot water. was also multiple spoons in there as well
you clearly never worked in a kitchen
The water is constantly draining and filling, I see no problem
Amazing time and people manangement skill. The way he encourage and train his staff is top notch. A great example of what a leader should be.
I wasn’t expecting the giant dinosaur head he just threw on the plate🤣
Chef! You did double taste, but I respect you so much. You and your team r amazing.
I've watched only 2 of your videos and I already can tell you know wtf is up. This guy is elite level pro. Just absolute swagger in the face of what many kitchens would crumble under.
Love the attention to details, such as "beans too wet" or even "stand straight" to the waitress. From what I've seen, it definitely deserves a Michelin star if it was for me.
I’ve eaten there. I reckon it could be close, but not quite there yet.
Extremely well written menu, fantastic service, knowledgeable hosts and chefs, fresh produce and really delicious food.
There are some things present on the menu that could be better executed - in my opinion as a chef.
I know they’re going for a waste less menu, but sometimes to that end you sacrifice to calibre of the food.
The Cod head in particular got on my nerves a tad.
@@HB-ib5us Yeah, I've never considered eating meat from a fish's head 😅. I only use it in stocks. Seems like the flesh is quite slimy there.
@@abrielrobertsson4160 It’s an off cut! The only tasty flesh you’re extracting from that are the cheeks. They’re TINY 😂
Showing love from Banff Canada! Your videos are amazingly educational.
Thanks for these videos. I enjoy watching them while I'm eating my dinner.
Shout-out to the dishwasher guy! You did a lot of good job there. I always see you in every video of this chef. 😁☺️
These are never long enough, thanks for the videos!
just noticed that this is body cam footage from what you guys filmed i think a month ago, as the discussion about meat on both sides with the waitress is just in shot.
Good spot! It's Jack's perspective of the same service. Link to Aiden's POV is in the description
I wish my head chef handled the kitchen this way.
When crunch time comes, he goes berserk and I'm literally shaking.
A clean kitchen, and executive chef that can maintain order is the most successful kitchen you can work in
This is therapy.
damn broskis, I just really sat through this whole video stoned out of my mind.
Same bro, what you smoking
this guy seems so chill
I just simply love this channel! Great work Chef, it´s inspiring!
This looks so damn satisfying to watch. I need a job anyway, I might just go back to working in a kitchen.
This dude was after a bite of everything
This guy making spoons appear from nowhere
Props with the beans tutorial.. Is that the salad guy.. Going back to that one 😁
"its the pleasure of cooking is because that you can it meanwhile"
-some wise swedishman
my guy was LOVING those mustard green beans!!
the video says it's a top restaurant but the waiter took the food to the table with their finger on the inside of the plate. Serving tray?
Gonna try and make the bean with mustard side you made tomorrow.
A really good head chef there teaching his staff on the job that’s a good head Chef when I was a chef the head chefs used to throw abuse then by the end of the shift the tension was so high you just wanted to rip his head off or ignore him and get home .
What makes them mad?
@@youngmeesha582There’s lots to say really. However one key point that many don’t consider is that a lot of them are alcoholics. It leaves you with a heightened sense of irritability, quick to snap, and overall a corrupted demeanour.
first two dishes just sitting there are cold
After a while he thought "Eff the fork, i'm eating these beans with my fingers!"
I absolutely do not miss the sound of the ticket printer lol
I can’t wait to eat here one day. Please keep posting these videos. I watch while working out 😂 -Your Hawaiian Texas Friend
Hi. Love your pov: day in life in restaurant
Love form Norway
E is for Emulsion. But seriously, good hussle. Found time for teachings, bravo, true leadership here.
Fantastic work lads 💯💯 the amount of what's going on is a little overwhelming lol
So glad i got out of food service. I learned a lot of tricks that help in my personal cooking but i still have nightmares about tickets printing endlessly...
it'd be awesome to see a long video of the start, from preparing for opening of the day till the end or something like that
One of the things I love as a
Cop is that no two days are the same and I love the high adrenaline rushes on intense calls. I feel like I’d get the same satisfaction in cooking, except people wouldn’t threaten to kill me, r*pe my wife, or follow me home after my shift. Looks like a wonderful career!
That's a good crew right there.
Maddie was chillin on the job... but shes workimg chef
You moved food with a cloth, that you have just used to clean something, chef? (9:04)
That’s the least of what we should be concerned about, staff fucking in the back is common in kitchen environments, trust me
That knife at 0:53 is *gorgeous*
Love this channel.
If you like this channel, I recommend the show "The Bear."
imagine still using a ticket machine, that sound gave me nightmares.
One day I'll go to the UK, I'll eat at raymond blanc's Quat Saisons and Fallow... IT WILL BE GLORIOUS. Also look at that, saw an issue with quality with someone thats been cooking I'm assuming quite awhile - just a simple show and explain to fix the issue - this is how you staff and run a restaurant
is that from the same day, where we could see man on the corn ?
and it would be very cool if you explain what position we're watching and what his job is ;p
I would actually give anything to work in your kitchen... even just as a potwash. I envy this level of cooking
Amazing, passionating.
I wish i knew what emulsion(?) is, but I'm hungry for green beans now.
This is great! Stressful but great 😅
Next time I need to sit at the counter!
Great videos keep up the great work
Come to india ...we may have dirt at various places but the serving speed is way too high
Not related to cooking but whoever was on the pass has very nice handwriting.
I have few doubts at 24:37 you take a spoon to taste it then dips in hot water, then again uses it to serve the food, the same spoon.. is this fine ? Else am I missing something here. Does dipping spoon in hot water is equal to washing the spoon ? Or maybe de didn’t put the spoon in the month.
What GoPro do you use for your videos? and is there a specific harness they wear? I love your POV videos and I was curious how you go it to look so crisp
Maddie won't ever stand like that again haha. But he's completely right. If you're in a Top Restaurant - act like it.
Your videos always make me want to get in the kitchen and get to work on something delicious! Thanks for wearing your camera to work!
Don't change who you are because the cams are rolling.. with great power comes great responsibility
Any advice on not getting overwhelmed and perfection ?
This reminds me of the show “bear” on Hulu
You should try click markers. Wouldn’t be fussing with the cap so much
im eating this over a plate of the finest microwaved bread.
I damn love watching this while its giving me extreme anxiety. Last time i got serving staff starting to take dishes from the warmth table without asking me for the go and then the guests had to wait for another minute or two for the rest of the hen to cook thru while the rest had their food ready and served and it has frustrated me to fuck and I got blamed for it. Seeing a Kitchen and the servers work properly its such a blessing. I wish we had such good coordinance at my current restaurant. Most days I have to do Saucier, Entremetier and Gardemanger completely alone and the Servers screw me to fuck. And i have never imagined to see these things at a 4 star Hotel... Also I can see the confidence in your work and I wanted to ask for how many years have you been working in the Kitchen? Im still a young chef working for the past 4 years and now Im a station chef in a big chain of hotels which are quite nice but the work colleges etc. are so damn frustrating. Also just hearing you compliment and give encouragement to the rest of the team is a wonderful sound. In my experience the kitchen chefs all they do is scream and let their frustrations out and be nice on calmer days. I wish to have an opportunity to work in your kitchen one day since ive been planing a trip to London! Sorry for my English/French since im Lithuanian/German.
give this man a shot
@tommy6663 Schaffste schon Bro ;) viel Erfolg noch bei allem was so ansteht
@@cookieeeeee1337 Erstmal woher weißt du dass ich auch Deutsch bin und zweitens dankeschön!!! Ja ich werde demnächst den Betrieb wechseln weil die Speisekarte macht kein Sinn und einfach alles am Chaos ist. Die Hygiene usw. Ist alles am Sack ich habe mein bestes gegeben um die Küche in Ordnung zu stellen aber dene ist es egal. Küchen Chef is inkompetent kann selber kaum unter Stress kochen und lässt alles auf seine Köche fallen wenn was falsch geht.
@@cookieeeeee1337 Eyo it would one in a lifetime opportunity that I would take in a matter of seconds and fly over!
The printing noises give me PTSD
How many times did dude touch his mouth?
He basically Just burns salad all day long
6:46 What is that yellow emulsion sauce made out of?
Ate a full meal during this one! Haha
not your first rodeo from the looks of it
Very interesting, as usual. That consommé did indeed look too thick, and I'm left wondering why it wasn't addressed 15:30
Thick and cloudy, strange combination
Imagine sending back the sauce and giving instructions on how it doesn’t constitute a consome. Some people are otherworldly insufferable, Jesus.
great perspective =)
I feel a bit silly but I ate a cheese burger from Macca's while watching this.
Fellow chef here. I love your jacket Jack, would you mind me asking where it's from?
Up now the fingers the green beans
The fact that he keeps using the same tasting spoon that is sitting in a clean water overflow storage well, is grossing me out. That’s not food safety
The water is hot it kills bacteria in the spoon
The waiters look like they don’t know what they’re doing
Wow! This is giving me stress!
Great video, but shows how easy it is to cook at home.
Bro is basically Gordon Ramsey
Why did he take the piece of bread off the plate and not replace it
Can someone explain to me why they are almost half the beans?!! Was it not for a customer?
I think he made those as an example and wanted the cook to make them himself for practice
@@crittergonya hey could you please time stamp what I was talking about because I am completely lost by my question and your answer.
@@blindtoph581 i am too lazy for that tbh but basically:
Dude makes the beans with sauce
Pov chef thinks it not up to standards
Pov chef makes a new batch to teach
Pov chef puts it on the warming table(?) And proceeds to eat from it constantly because he a hungi boi
@@crittergonya thank bro. Yeah even I am too lazy to watch the whole pov again
