This guy was so impossibly nice to everyone and so excited to be a part of this. You could tell he knew Josh was sooo nervous so he was being kind. What a cool guy.
So humble, I love to see the old guard respect other talent.
So I’m actually an employee for JG and he really is such a sweet guy! Incredibly talented and humble! Great chef!
That's how our generation was brought up in Europe, its called having respect and being a gentleman .
Easy to say that for cameras
5:27 nha dude my homie was ready to kill when he said "WHERE IS THE CHEF?" 💀 I heard him uppercase for some reason.
I was privileged to work for JG at his flagship in the early 2010s. It was tough--we were expected to be on point all day, every day-but he legitimately is *that* nice and fosters an environment where if you are enthusiastic, disciplined, and willing to learn, you will succeed. I will never forget the day he had many of his staff to a BBQ at his home north of NYC and still have a picture of all of us in his pool. Also super grateful I worked pastry and didn’t have to cut an onion 😂
He seems like a true gentleman even though he doesn’t have to be.
That's a cool story right there
What a nice change from temperamental, badly- behaved (albeit talented) chefs
@@judymiller323 you can just say Gordon Ramsey lmao
Am the 1k like🙃
This chefs humbleness is unreal.... what a down to earth chef. I bet when its business time, its business. What a great episode.
I'm not gonna lie, when I think of a French Michelin star chef, I picture a pretentious person with big ego but this chef was the exact opposite. What a great man, he deserves all of his success. Even made a point to say his kitchen was a team effort. On a side note, I have never seen a grilled steak that perfectly cooked - looked like a reverse sear. Will be using egg whites on my steak in the future
He's probably a different man when service starts or he has a head chef who is the bad cop.
In all high end restaurants, everyone has a switch we turn on. Especially with him doing 450 a night... That's an insane amount. I used to do that for lunch on a mountain side years ago.
Jean seems like such an awesome guy, the way he teaches Josh and talks about his experience in the culinary world. He has no ego and was excited to see the skills of a younger generation. Nice video!
don't know if it was just for the video but i have to agree
@@vivago727 i somehow doubt its only for the video. Jean has the star(s) he doesnt need to prove anything to anyone anymore. If anything he is just happy to share his knowledge to the younger generation
I think its really cool to see new talent and older talent competing in this fashion.
Im a regular hood dude doing food reviews on my RUclips channel 😈
Could not agree more. Chef Jean seemed really positive and the fact he has someone with for 10 years is a testament to his character in this business.
This Jean guy is like the best, no ego , no overly chef vibe. Just a guy who really knows how to properly cook.Kudos To Jg. And Papa always rocks.
You can tell he's having fun with this. Always nice to see when people really enjoy what they do.
Yeah that's because you haven't seen him working. The man is a highly decorated french chef, no doubt he's fucking ruthless.
The best chefs are like that. Forged on the anvil of their craft for years, they have no room for pretense. Pure.
Well...he's not working, and Josh is not an employee at his kitchen.
it's just French bro
50 years in the business and JG was happy for Josh to come into HIS kitchen and make a meal together. I don’t think he would do that with just anyone. Josh you did amazingly well!!! ❤
I work for JG and this video made me so happy! He’s exactly like this. What’s so lovely about him is he never stops learning and still works in his restaurants every single day despite his obvious success. Well done!
can you let me know if he ever actually adds his dish to the menu
I had the honour of meeting JG once, back when I still a relative n00b at the chef game. He was so kind and encouraging to a know nothing kid just trying to make his way in the restaurant game. He's been one of my culinary heroes since that day, and seeing this video was just so inspiring.
I'm retired now (I left the chef life in my 40's for my other passion, IT work), but I still remember, and admire JG. I was totally fanboi-ing during the whole video.
I feel like the hallmark of a true master is knowing that there's always more to learn, and actively seeking new knowledge and skills every day.
Gosh he seems so incredible genuine and so eager to mentor and encourage other people! I love that he doesn't seem annoyed or threatened at all and is just happy to cook with other people. You're so lucky to work with him!
@@helgijonsson3537 Absolutely!!
The minute we stop striving to learn something new, is the minute we have given up on life.
JG just casually dropping wisdom while being so humble and playful in the kitchen. You gotta love it
I’m so trying that, 100%
🫠no comments, imma change that
Really bro specially when chefs are supposed to be brutal and not caring lol he’s the best person to learn from
@@thelordcollects1439 he's been at it for 50 year and probably does very little in terms of actual service these days. He wouldn't be the same with 450 checks coming in.
@@thelordcollects1439 he’s not volatile towards his mentees then all is good
The chemistry between JG and JW was way greater than I thought it would be, what a super wholesome video!
I love how this was not cutthroat at all, everyone seemed to be having fun to be there and more interested in learning! Thank you Jean George for your hospitality and to the editing team for your work behind the scenes!
Thank you!!!
I love jean but i can see him turn cutthroa tho, look at when joshua joked about the chicken stock
@@emilhansson216 I kind of understand him : he invited him in his kitchen, and he thought his "invité" was treated poorly. In France it is a massive misstep to do that kind of stuff, so he was ready to give the responsible of this mess a very stern talking to
Exactly. But i can all but guarantee you if Josh was workin for him it would be high-stress and intense, like in pretty much any kitchen.
Great vibe, zero pretentiousness
What's so cool about Jean is even though he's been a chef for so long, you can tell he's still incredibly passionate and loves what he does.
he couldn't have done it for so long without an incredible passion 🔥
really felt that when he took out the torch and excitedly said "ill be the fire guy" ❤
I’m so surprised a chef with multiple 3 Michelin star resteraunts is this calm and sweet😊
Josh, it’s absolutely wild to think that just a few years ago you were putting out RUclips videos in your spare time and now you’re cooking with Michelin starred chefs and opening up your own restaurant?! Proud of you, man!
Josh is making a literal fortune on RUclips and has been for quite a while. He easily makes far more than the Michelin chef ever thought of.
@@signalfire6691 Are you dumb?
@@signalfire6691 baseless
@@signalfire6691 And how do you know this? bet youve done no research at all lmao
@@thog7653 It's very easy to look up what RUclipsrs make for their online content. Josh is easily a millionaire. What do you think is paying for his camera crew (very highly talented) and traveling? I'm not dissing him, but he has no reason to be nervous around a world class chef - he's in the same category himself, obviously.
I respect that death glare when Jean thought the crew had provided Josh with the wrong ingredients. From sweet to in command in moments and then right back. Mad respect.
Ya he was about to destroy a mans day because of that, but snapped back to being super nice when Josh said “no, I’m just kidding, I’m just kidding!”
@@Rottwiler44 You have to know Josh knew what his reaction would be and made sure to keep the leg pulling succinct
Time stamp? Nvm: 5:24
That might have been the best part lmao
for real
The mutual respect in this video was heartwarming. Jean George seemed excited to teach Josh and was so encouraging and kind. Josh respected his experience and was appreciative of his time. Not only is this an entertaining video, but a prime example of how people should treat one another.
Bla bla bla...bs It's all about $
@@EGOCOGITOSUM Wow, what a negative attitude.
Loved this video! Jean George seems like such a lovely man. I would love to go to his restaurant one day.
And, well, cook!! It sure was fun to watch!!
@@EGOCOGITOSUM how to tell us you're poor without saying you're poor, stop thinking about money all them bruv
Am I the only one freaking out about how insane this collab is? Josh has gotten so far. Proud of him, and JG is so iconic and nice
haha JG's reactions just make me smile. No Gatekeeping energy, no ego, just here to have a good time and doesn't seem to take himself too seriously. AWESOME.
I have spend 20 years as a professional chef and the industry can be pretty brutal. It really warms my heart and gives me hope to see this collaboration. This is what is missing today vs. the cooking show beat down competitions out there. Such a pleasure to see two gentlemen Chefs being positive, sharing, and putting out amazing food.
i really like chefs who've achieved so much but also take time to give younger cooks their roses :) it really shows their character and love for the craft
Having worked in a few kitchens in my twenties, I think my life would have taken a different path had I worked for someone like Chef Jean-Georges. What an amazing experience this must have been.
Jean seems like such a genuine, kind guy who is excited to have Josh in the kitchen with him. It's like they were friends in a friendly competition and he was proud of what Josh had done. Not to mention, he had charisma and humor, he and Josh really vibed well together. Loved this collaboration!
Its really good to see a veteran chef take time to foster the younger generation. And make josh sweat at his cooking skills. Well done Josh and chef Jean.
You know when you play games with kids and let them win. Then there becomes a time when you do everything you can to win, and can’t? It’s good to see a veteran chef in great shape!
JG is so humble and lovable, it's amazing to see that from someone at his level of skill, experience and talent.
I like the fact that Jean seemed incredibly sincere and generous with his time.
Man, you can tell why this guy is a master chef. He's always looking for something new to learn and discover, even after 50 years. And such a beautiful temperament too! I wanna be like Jean when I grow up
Chef was sooo nice you could tell he was even like “no I’m nervous too” LMAO
This is one of the best episodes from Josh I've ever watched. They had great chemistry and Josh was slightly out of his element so it was nice to see. I'd love to see more travel battles.
Slightly out of his element only because he was in someone else's kitchen. Mad respect for both of them.
I really like how JG incorporates many different cultures in his cooking. He’s so well travelled and takes the strengths of those countries into his cooking
this! the whole world in a steak!!
I was kinda baffled by his German family name, but it makes sense with your comment.
Jean is giving me Roy Choi vibes, just calm, humble, fun loving with no oversized ego but well deserved recognition. Adorable and fun to watch!
Its interesting to see Joshua next to another professional chef of this caliber. Its real easy seeing Josh's videos that he's kind of a goof - but the techniques are all like... pro kitchen level and it stands up head to head. Its like seeing finding out your frat buddy is a savant.
Caliber? Mr.W has a long way to go, to be on any level with Mr.G.
Jean George is genuinely a world class chef but you’d never know cause he’s just so damn humble, as an aspiring chef with lots of friends in the industry it’s so cool to see someone so successful welcome the next generation with open arms, much respect to Jean George!
Jean seems to be the best example that being a head chef doesn't mean you have to become a monster like it used to be. I hope his straff think the same. ❤️
Love the creative energy in this video.
Yeah for sure! There's a j kenji Lopez alt reddit AMA video where someone asked him about eating with the queen, Bourdain and ramsay - and he said he'd eat ramsay & the queen. He explained that it wasn't just a TV character, ramsay actually believes you have to abuse people to push them far enough. A mutual friend actually had ramsay throw a pot of boiling hot sauce at them.
It definitely seems like ramsay has moved away from the abusiveness, but still believes you have to push people hard. But yeah it's so toxic and unnecessary, we're finally getting past that idea you need to scream at and beat your employees to be successful
Cooking to me is self expression so its really nice this chef was so caring and heartfelt. In America we are so used to seeing Gordan Ramsey just yell and be just critical this guy seems to foster the passion of younger cooks and inspire and teach in a non condescending way. Truly amazing change of pace.
Not only did his food look incredible, but I want to go to John George's restaurant even more because he just seems like an absolute class act
Facts
it’s nice to see a michelin star chef that is very humble and down to earth. you can tell that instead of looking down on him for the avenue he choose to showcase his ability he genuinely treats him as a peer
JG seems like an incredible person. He's one of the best in his field and to have so much humility and class that's impressive. I definitely will be checking out his restaurant.
This was honestly one of the best things I've seen on the internet for a while. Just so amazed by Jean's positivity and his cooking techniques, it's so refreshing. This man needs his own cooking show!
What an honor to cook with a legend such as Jean Georges! The fact that he was for having you there and him attending in person speaks volumes, Josh. He already had confidence in you.
JG could sense Josh was a little nervous being back on the shop floor. Gave him some earned applause without patronising and built his confidence up to get the best out of him
Josh showed a lot of respect to the boss and didn't act childish or 'youtuber-y'
Great to watch
"Your cooking is perfect, mine too" What a funny and nice guy.
What a true gentleman and amazing cook - for Jean George to complement Josh on his technique, style, and flavour is truely humbling. Josh remains respectful, while also being humerous throughout the video. The manner in which both chefs work and interact make this so fun to watch. Thank you both 😍😍 🙇🏼♂🙇🏼♂👏🏼👏🏼
This guy is super chill. He is very helpful and kind and you can tell he is genuinely enjoying this.
Chef Jean's presence made this video legendary!! As someone who's studying culinary arts with the goal of becoming a Michelin star rated chef specializing in regional filipino cuisine, I'm beyond jealous that someone like Jean George complimented Josh's cooking. This video is spectacular!
What an absolute gentleman of a chef. Lots of humility and the prowess speaks for itself.
My friend let’s make it together the same ting with pizza a real one ☝️
That right there is how an true expert, at the top of their field behaves with a younger also skilled individual. Jean was both complementing and teaching Josh throughout this. Beautiful video.
Lmao the "He's kinda hot now that I think about it" is actually what happens when you eat someone's food that is that good.
Yup, cooking is the best dating tactic out there
I've never watched someone so prestigous yet so humble. First time seeing Jean-Greorge and he just became my favorite person.
This is so sweet; those encouragements from Jean must mean a lot to Joshua, or to any chef for that matter. French chefs have a certain reputation!
I love watching michelin star chefs cook. Everything just comes so naturally and easily to them. They have such a knowledge of ingredients and flavors and techniques that you just give them a concept or a list of ingredients and they make magic out of it.
Ive cooked for years at home and professionally, and I dont think Ill ever have this level of finesse. Im in awe of it.
Believe in yourself! Dont be afraid to try new things and to mess up. Obviously I am sure there are some more "naturally" talented cooks, but if you spend enough time reading, watching and practicing new techniques and ingredients, improvements will come fast. Maybe you wont be a Michelin Star chef, but having the mentality for learning what truly is good food and why it is good is very crucial.
The industry is super hard and most of the time it is not about quality, but how many customers you can serve. Which can be completely fine if you have the excellence and fines of a world renown chef. I am not amazing at cooking, just ok to be completely honest, however I have seen an amazing improvement in my skills by simply just going and learning. New ingredients, cultures, how the locals use it and possibly (if there is something) how would a more well known chef utilize it.
As someone who’s spent a lot of time in kitchens, the funniest thing to me is JG talking about his “onion test.” Cut an onion 4-5 ways, “Wait what are the 5 ways to cut an onion?” “I don’t know.” Hahaha. Julienne, brunoise, dice, mince, batonnet. There you go boys.
Jean seemed awesome for the episode, and his energy matched the show's perfectly. The catch of his towards the end was slick.
Jg was treating the cooking as a collaboration. It was nice to see the respect and interest he showed into your dish. I’m sure both were fantastic, in my eyes Jw would be a fantastic early dinner meal before a night out of dancing and Jg’s meal would be a fantastic finish to the night before heading home. All in all I loved both and it looked like fun even if you were obviously nervous.
5:26 mans was READY to commit a crime
This felt like way more of a collab than a competition, love to see it!
Chef is a chill dude. I don’t even think he’s in any way upset in loosing, and just has pride and joy for the new wave of chefs.
I m just in half of the video and I love and respect chef JG. He is so adorable when helping you with all of his skills and experience to make you acheive your effort that you aimed for
Prime example as to how cooking brings people together, this was your best video thus far Josh. Without people like Chef Jean, JW wouldn’t exist. Mad respect!
This is what I enjoy from Josh - not necessarily competition, but technique with tools and with the food itself.
Everyone prazing Jean and I'm here to praze him more, not only is he incredibly kind, but you can tell he's also incredibly confident and humble when he isn't afraid to learn from someone who is societly seen as "less of a chef" than him
This entire video was so wholesome. Jean is such a nice guy! Wow!
Jean-George is such a nice guy. I've seen his video published by Eater quite a few times and it really reflects the mans personality! Such a humble and outgoing chef.
Josh, I have been following you since you started in the kitchen "cabinet" and it is a pleasure to see how far you have come. I hope we don't lose you on YT, when you open a restaurant. Papa, I wish you all the best. 👌
Would love a full series of these.
Touring the world competing against incredible chefs in their own kitchens...
This is easily one of my favorite videos Josh has ever made!!!!
The chemistry between you too is so good so funny seeing you teach, compliment, tease and just talking is so entertaining and genuine
My gf and I had the pleasure of dining at JG's flagship in NYC last year. Whenever I eat at a "high end" restaurant I can never honestly say it was worth it. At JG's not only was it worth it but they massively raised be bar for me on what a can be done with food. To top it off I got a fist bump from the man himself.
LOL it couldn't be more obvious that was your first "high end" experience. Grow up & experience what real culinary art has to offer
Nah, the humbleness JG has didn't show that world class title, but the food he made just say it all, whatta great guy!
Every so often I come by a content creator that really makes me smile. This guy does it for me. Thanks for the videos. Subscribed and looking forward to watching them all.
This may be the most fun collab to watch. They both were just enjoying cooking and food.
I love how you can see how much Joshua respects the chef.
So down to earth, genuine, beautiful soul with MAD skills, bravo chef JG
this might be my favourite video from josh. Jean seems like such a nice person and god what an amazing chef. Also everyone involved seemed to have tons of fun during it as well!
Thanks to jean for making this video possible!!
its only january and you already created your best video of this year. honestly i can't imagine what else could beat this.
I’m so happy you included the crew as judges♥️
So happy to see you sharing the spotlight Josh
A good leader
This is one of your best videos yet! It was nice seeing to PRO'S competing yet respectful and encouraging. Perfect Show. keep more like this coming. Thank You for your consistent GREAT CONTENT!!!!!
JG seems like the best person to learn from. he just seems so down to earth, no over blown ego and just so dang nice! JG is the goat!
This was so wholesome. It was amazing seeing two chefs learning together
That was fun 👍 I love how complimentary JG is, a true lover of food and the craft ✌️
I mean Jean, wow what a guy! He is so humble and genuine its almost kinda heartwarming to see them cooking and coming along so nicely together.
Great Video
What a nice guy this one. And such a nice collab. You can tell this chef has class when he is being so nice to papa. That's respect.
This was awesome. Jean-George is a hero to many of us in the business, and this just goes to show what a humble and delightful guy he is. One of your best videos yet Josh. I'd like to see how you fare against Jose Andres next ;)
The chemistry between you two is amazing. You need to get him on again.
That track at the just hyped me up even more 😂 honestly Josh I REALLY love what you do man . I pray to be able to carry myself as well as you do in the kitchen ! 🙏🏾 much love and respect to you Chef
JG is so wholesome and i love that he wasn’t scared to hold back and tell you how much he was impressed and shined a light on your skills.
You can see why he's a good cook! He seems to live for his art and the food he makes, no room for ego because it's all taken by passion :D
JG is a wonderful human being I can tell just by watching this. His team is fortunate
I've been to Jean-George once and it was AMAZING. Good lil one on one match. I give it to Jean-George for being so teacher friendly. My uncle retired as a chef and when I get to cook with him he guides me like Jean-George did to Josh and it was nice to see that in a pro-kitchen.
Really enjoyed watching this.. They had so much fun together and kudos to JG for being so humble and down to earth.. Both plates looked amazing and I wish I could have had a taste!
Josh, you amazing son of a gun. Big ups to Jean for his warm welcoming persona. I am sure you learn a lot from this experience.
How amazing was JG? For a world class chef, love how kind and supportive he was! An excellent video!
I love JG's enthusiasm when your dish was picked in the blind test. Nice to see a big chef respond that way instead of having an ego
Jean - so humble and funny. Outstanding chef with an admirable personality.
Such a cool video. Love seeing people who love their craft not be afraid to invite the younger generation in and teach them a thing or two! He seems to have such a good spirit. I think it’s time Josh finally opens a restaurant 😭
1:01 that is the most disturbing thing lol 😂😂😂😂😂
I can not wait for you to open a restaurant in Austin TX, going to be amazing 🤩
This was fun. It was the most humble I have seen Josh in years. That said, confidence and arrogance in proper doses produces amazing results.
every time i see cool videos like this the chefs are usually a bit socially awkward but damn JG is super personable and open to telling stories about for example the onion test. loved this energy
Josh is going into the new year strong with some of the best content I’ve seen from him the past couple days. Keep it up man!
This is insanely heartwarming and cool, major props to Joshua and the team for setting this up and of course the Legend himself.
