this is such a cool idea! one of the places i used to work at would save vegetable scraps to use for broth, and making broths from scratch like that really changed how i look at cooking and food as a whole. plus those things can be really rewarding and fun, especially once you start learning about pickling and fermenting! i hope more restaurants start moving towards practices like these, or even making agreements with farms and gardens about disposing of their food scraps for compost or similar things.
Tha amount of edible food that gets thrown out everyday is tragic. Anyone who has worked in the food industry, whether that be waitressing, fast food, fine dining, or at a cafe knows the heartbreak of having to get rid of trashbags full of food everyday.
But food is not really 'waste' per se, even the guy says we've created waste in last 200 years (2:23) and before that everything was zero waste. Food was wasted, yes, but there was no waste pollution.
@@jprice_ Maybe back in the day when ppl use to throw their scraps to their animals and taverns were around instead of restaurants 😂 But in this day and age its definitely considered waste
@@jprice_ @jprice_ Food that is thrown out is definitely waste. Money and resources have been put into in every stage from growing, producing and cooking the food. You cant tell me that the enormous amounts of bio trash that is thrown out every night isnt 'waste'. Where do you think all that food is going? Does the water it took to grown the water food irrelevant? Take something simple like fast food, the amount of meat that is thrown out daily is scandalous and thats just in one food joint.
@@jprice_ Think about how many restaurants you have in your town/city, each of them is filling half a container of edible food out. And then think about all the cities in your country. The scale in which food is being wasted is not okay, and I stand by the statement that food waste is 'waste'. Throwing out something that is usable is the definition of being wasteful imo
@@manibalani3191 Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but food is rarely ever removed from the circle of life / food chain. As long as you don't break the chain, there's no waste. Just because it didn't go through the digestive tract of a primate recently and now it's sustaining rats, bacteria, fungi, maggots, whatever, doesn't mean it's wasted. That's infinitesimally less serious of a problem than real, permanent waste (that stuff at 1:25) we are constantly producing and accumulating.
Basically this guy who revived the channel is the Fans of the GBS so he decided to bought it since he also worked like this same content in Vice before Resignation in 2018
Would have liked to see their actual processing and cooking of the ingredients to achieve zero waste instead of the finished fermented products.. feels like I'm missing a lot after watching the video
Huh. Imagine zero waste in every restaurant. That would be pretty crazy and the garbage pileup wpuld be so low. Also, thats what the guy voicing these videos looks like, huh?
I don't think I've ever cooked a meal that wasn't for a family of six only to force myself to eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner until I get sick of it and throw half of it away.
Sustainability angle seems disingenuous. Zero FOOD waste sure, which is amazing, but I’m still seeing disposable products, such as masking tape, permanent markers, notebooks, cheese cloth, etc. not to mention forever materials, such as plastic bins. I’m not trying to say they aren’t doing something that is good, but “zero” waste is definitely a bit of marketing stretch and not a 100% truth.
I get what your saying, but having owned restaurants, food waste is kinda crazy alone. Both from customers and poorly managed food stock that goes out of date. Corporate restaurants cloud with bureaucracy, out of date but still fine to eat still means copious amounts of food waste..when I was younger I worked in Nando’s and it was crazy the amount of meat let alone food that was binned every day and they have policies better than most places
He literally said it 3x. Once to introduce the idea, and the other 2x in the following sentence to explain himself. But yeah, ok buddy. Whatever you say.
some people do eat chicken talons, you can use blood for something like blood sausage and the feathers... well idk pillows? lol so technically all the things have uses, whether they use them or not is a different question. i wish we got to see more of the actual zero waste in this video instead of talking about it being sexy.
Ah erm, about that zero waste claim. No, everything wasnt zero waste before industrialization, industrialization however made zero waste possible as we could transform products we previously simply coulnt use any further into products we could use. What happened often enough though (and still is) that food waste is composted or when mixed with other waste the human produces, to make various of things.
Composting is far and away zero waste though. Proper waste of the modern era, is the usage of plastics which are used, and then dumped. Something which was added by the industrial revolution. Prior to the industrial revolution, people had to reuse basically everything they had available to them, and make use of processes like composting to do so. The issue nowadays is that landfills are basically just burying everything that we've deemed "waste", whereas previously iron tools, wooden furniture and food scraps all had to be reused somehow. So I'd argue that his point still stands.
Halfway through this video and just need to say the background music is annoying!!! It is mixed way too loud and doesn’t even match the vibe of the restaurant being profiled. Super distracting from an otherwise well produced video
Look and act like a hipster and people will think you are a hipster. Also what was so revolutionizing about this restaurant? Noma makes koji and alot of fermentation also so that´s nothing new. What do they do with the bones after making stock? Do they buy whole animals or just cuts because then the waste is still with the butcher...
No such thing as zero waste. The scraps, a majority of which you cant use for combucha, going to the compost is still waste. They use disposable pens, paper, utensils, plastic bins, etc. All of these will meet its end of use life, and will be discarded. That is waste. Doesnt matter if you recycle it, its still waste.
So this is another overpriced London restaurant that is selling slop to people for extortionate prices? Where do i sign up? I hope it's "vegan" too so i can have a nice cardboard taste with my glass of wine 🍷🍷
I used to love watching these videos because of the narrator in the back speaking while showing the reason why I clicked on the video in the first place. This dude makes me wanna unsub and delete yt
Would you eat at a zero-waste restaurant? 🍽
As a non-hippie yes
I’m in the thick of it
No
I actually heard about them years ago

What an intro, keep going guys
All companies should be pushed to become Zero-Waste.
What do they do with the water used for cleaning?
Are you allowed to poop after eating?
yes but as long as you eat your poop 💩
This place looks so sweet! I would love to try their food.
I don't think I've ever cooked a meal that wasn't for a family of six only to force myself to eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner until I get sick of it and throw half of it away.

3:00 South East Asia?
This is not applicable to everything, they use specific ingredients that can be used this way.
I’m guessing they just compost everything that they don’t serve. Is it a vegan restaurant? Do they use eggs? What do they do with the egg shells?
At 0519 the chef says the most popular dish is quaver. What is quaver?
Damn, this place looks gasssss!
what if i spit out the food or vomit on my plate?
I wondering if they eat egg shell or even coconut fiber
Because I know people who work there, they do have compost for used food scraps such as egg shells and they send them in a nearby farm
Why does he say sexy in every single sentence

it’s called branding, he wants to attract trustifarians who see no issue paying $400 for a “zero waste” peanut butter sandwich

Because he likes the word. Who tf cares?
Meh, barely showing any actual examples of what they actually do differently… apart from fermenting stuff 🙄

Food wastage is one of the worst sins. Woo hoo to Silo!
Very quiet audio levels in this video.

@@op4000exe Thing is, cities still existed and the people there didnt all have composters, just at minimum already
5:26 caption says "when you come here to die" ???
i mean that's exactly what the head chef is saying.
In nature there is good waste
Would rather pay less for 2nd hand food tbh
I miss the old Great Big Story 😞

Expensive
The only ZERO about this restaurant is…….. There is ZERO CHANCE they are LEGITIMATELY “ZERO WASTE!”
Chef there os a dead rat in the kitchen, can we trow it away? Noo! That will be soup of the day😂
Look and act like a hipster and people will think you are a hipster.
Also what was so revolutionizing about this restaurant? Noma makes koji and alot of fermentation also so that´s nothing new.
What do they do with the bones after making stock?
Do they buy whole animals or just cuts because then the waste is still with the butcher...
ok
The food looks disgusting
only if you're a picky little child
