    This is so cool to see. The narrating of Neil Kleinberg is really calming and he explains everything so well. This exactly shows how it works in restaurants.

      Agreed! The pace is just as frenetic as any other kitchen, but the head chef really seems to foster a lower-stress environment, rather than yelling and berating like you so commonly see. And the food looks amazing!

    I've worked in kitchens my whole life, and I have to say that was about the least chaotic kitchen I've ever seen. I guess cause they just have so many people working, and not dumping the entire load on 2 people. So very well organized with lots of stations to make it all go smooth. Very nicely done.

      Here it is 😀
      Ingredients
      4 cups all-purpose flour
      1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
      3/4 cup sugar
      1 teaspoon coarse salt
      6 large eggs, separated
      3 cups whole milk
      3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus 2 teaspoons unmelted for cooking
      1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
      2 1/2 cups blueberries or sliced bananas and 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
      1/2 cup confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar for dusting (optional)
      Maple Butter for Neil's Pancakes
      Directions
      Step 1
      Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl.
      Step 2
      In medium bowl, whisk together yolks, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. Whisk yolk mixture into flour mixture until just combined; batter will be slightly lumpy.
      Step 3
      Place egg white in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or whisk by hand, until medium peaks form. Gently mix half the egg whites into batter with a rubber spatula. Gently fold in remaining whites. The egg whites should not be fully incorporated into the batter.
      Step 4
      Heat a griddle until hot, about 350 to 375 degrees. Add remaining unmelted butter to hot griddle. Add 1/4 cup pancake batter and let set. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon blueberries or sliced bananas and 1 teaspoon chopped walnuts, if using, over pancakes. When bubbles begin to form, lift pancake; if golden brown, turn. Cook until golden brown on remaining side.
      Step 5
      Transfer cooked pancake to a plate and keep warm. Repeat process with remaining batter, fruit, and nuts. Garnish with confectioners' sugar for blueberry pancakes and cinnamon sugar for banana-walnut. Serve warm with maple butter.

    As someone who has worked in a diner for the last 10 years, it's fun to watch how you guys do things different than we do. I think we're fortunate in a way to have the expo station on the other side of the heat lamp to give everyone a little more room to breathe - but you can't argue with having a bakery downstairs. Great video, thanks for sharing. Kinda helps the average person to understand how it can take quite a few minutes for their scrambled eggs to come out after they order them, and that as hard as everyone tries to make everything perfect, mistakes do occasionally happen.
