Emmeline Zhao, Managing Partner at Silver Apricot in New York's West Village, leads us behind the scenes for an all access look at how the staff handles a busy Friday evening rush, serving hundreds of consistently high-quality small plates a night from their 90 square foot kitchen.

      i would love to see how a fancy banquet gets handled! or one of those really exclusive posh places without prices on the menu lol. but honestly anything will be interesting - it could be a food truck or a michelin starred restaurant (or a bakery/tea shop!) and i will still watch
