Thank you mom and dad for teaching me how to hold my utensils properly when I was a child.
Randy Gravel ;-)👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍
Thank you!
Thank you was going to say the same... 😄
God right!
The Chef seemed very humble and grounded, not something I can say is seen often in the culinary world for people who have made it that far.
Used to work with the Chef... it's been at least 15 years... passionate chef.. made everything from scratch, worked all day... and was I think a minor league baseball pitcher prior to being a chef. He was a class act... real New Yorker.
For some reason I don’t believe you.
Worked everyday at such restaurant? No rest time for him?
The guy talking about looking up fine dining on Wikipedia clearly didn’t get to the part where it mentioned what to wear
My thought's exactly. Wear a tie and jacket and do that button up.
Reagan Pup lmao I go to fine dining places wearing shirts and a t shirt. Surprised I’ve never been banned from going in. I still remember that one time I ate at a fine ding place and the waiter looked at me and my family like, can they even afford one dish. Guy was shocked when we ate over 700 dollars worth of food.
Gamer 3D nobody asked nor cares that your family “ate 700 dollars of food” lmao. 🙄
happy sad lmao bruh I wasn’t bragging, if that’s what u mean. 700 dollars for a fancy meal isn’t even considered a lot dude. It’s in the lower spectrum already of an expensive meal. If u think I’m bragging by saying 700 dollars for the bill, then u probably never even been to an expensive restaurant. but I’m just saying that when u dress in regular clothes and go into fancy restaurants most of the times people suck, and start judging u the moment u walk in
happy sad and I was trying to say it doesn’t matter if the customer dresses in normal clothes, there shouldn’t be something against that. They shouldnt be like profiled just like how they dress. It’s comfortable to wear normal clothes.
She’s had eggs Benedict before, but was shocked at the yolks’ texture when cutting into it with her unique form. Where’d they find this woman?
On a casting couch, likely the one in tribeca Harvey weinstein maintained for casting calls
At a fine community college, I am sure.
And then did you see here holding a knife and fork! Jeeez
Why is this women in a food show?????
The word “woman” should be used quite loosely
Girl her holding that knife and fork has me SCREAMING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just saw it and had to come back to this comment 💀
The first thing to learn how to hold the fork and knive
I just looked at their menu. Their prices aren't all that bad! I think you could easily have dinner there for under $200, even if you got steak.
Next time I'm in NY, I might try it.
4:33 "oh my god!" as if she's never seen a soft poached Eddie. She uses her cutlery like a drunk oaf
Why do I torture myself watching Food Insider videos while hungry
Same
it's food porn
please poke me
Fingering things please out that disrespectful middle finger icon, that is very hateful and disrespectful and God the Father, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit do not like it; Repent to God for that pic and put something that is loving not hateful
Stopp
“Who has SITTEN here?”
Well last night we had John Wick as a guest!
Yeah what was that about? I thought journalists know grammar
So, who has sit in... where we're sitting here?
She also said "popuralized" and that was in the narration which could have been edited or done again lol
this trend of just putting truffles and caviar on random shit needs to stop
I wouldn’t say its a trend, but I agree it shouldn’t be put on random food items
or gold - completely stupid
I generally agree.... Butttt.... I actually think it works here...
Ya somebody had to say it; and the manager in the end was like , "All the steak houses are the same(lot of them are good" but this is also no different.
I'd like to agree but I haven't eaten a single thing with caviar and/or truffles that was not good so idk man, if it works it works.
Dude has a Pineapple Button up shirt and is like "This is fine dining!" lolololol
I met a billionaire one time. He worse pink shorts and a yellow shirt and did so knowing he had an interview that day. Wealthy or upper class doesn't mean they are any good at style. :)
The steak looks great! And finally i saw a fine-dining restaurant that's filled with people..😍
I have a copy of "The Epicurean" circa 1920. I'm not a cook but its so fascinating.
I've eaten at Delmonico's. Very good. Pricey, but good. Plan on spending well over $100-$150 per person for a steak dinner, sides, drinks.
The Eggs Benedict are delicious. IIRC, they were around $20 a plate.
Also, why doesn't this chick know how to use cutlery?
thank you Taryn for holding the knife and fork like so many of us would...since sooo many of us have not had finishing school as part of our history or grown up in a world where those kinds of things "matter"!!!!
At the risk of being labeled a troublemaker; it is my understanding that Antoine Alciatore of Antoine's in New Orleans invented Baked Alaska. His restaurant progeny also claim it was so named due to the acquisition of the Alaskan territory from Russia. By the way, those Eggs a la Benedict look beyond wonderful. Thanks for this lovely video.
Can we talk about how that girl is holding the fork wrong?
Hey?
She was raised by Beagles and she is used to Gravy Train.
Table manner allow you to use knife at right hand
jeff belli slack ZaaxzZaaz
Who decided how you should hold the fork or knife?! How she feels comfy than up to her!
@@jamajama9414 idk who decided you should eat cereal with milk . it’s just how it is
"If you wikipedia fine dining. This is what should show up."
Says the guy in the pineapple short-sleeved shirt...
SlapShotRegatta hahah lmao i thought so too. .... Thats was the restaurant criticer says
Hah in europe this is a normal restaurant
Their is no fooling me,"This is the hotel where John wick stayed in part1"
I was looking for this comment
me too
So where is the gun vault????
Bingo
You can say that this restaurant is Eggcellent
Chef: "Tesla was here..."
GenZ gal: "Ah you mean Elon Musk.."
Ok boomer
Nikola Tesla?
@Pig Pen 2 read his comment again and slowly this time
Aniya Raine the youngest a boomer can be in 2020 is 56 so I doubt you’re a boomer. You’re most likely a millennial lmao
@@brunocanalscastro3951 nah I'm not. But yeah those are the guys who created half the wealth of todays economy and the device you're using now. Ok bummer.
im born and raised in NYC and the CRAZIEST thing i notice about Delmonicos are the prices. VERY VERY affordable. 17 bucks for THE eggs benedict, thats how much the crappy cafe near me charges. For a top notch steak joint, you cant go wrong.
This video is taking some liberties with the true history of the restaurant and this building.
There's just something very uncomfortable with how the interviews were being done.
If you go to a fine dining restaurant you should at least learn how to hold a fork properly. I winced at 4:25.
Sancho G Exactly!! Thank you I was about to comment about this myself
Who gives a shit? Let her hold it how she wants
if i am paying i am eating it however i wanna eat it
Gia Staley It’s just not proper etiquette for fine dining. And the way she was making fun of the plate like wtf.
Yes. It's unfortunate proper etiquette isn't taught or appreciated anymore. Thanks for this comment
One of those rare restaurants you can say that your great, great, great, great grandpa ate at, and knows exactly how your egg benedict tastes like 😀😀😀
Wish we had more restaurants like that in LA to vlog.
@Grace City LA much love, man.
@Yan Manalo Neither did mine. But it's the thought that counts!
Those chairs are everything 💋💋💋
That one restaurant in like Spain that’s been open for like 500 years
“Am I joke to you”
We have a (what you would call a burgerjoint (sausage joint) that is over 800 years old and still running!
@@captainbackflash where?
@@jackiemoss644 probably Germany or Poland
In the Uk there’s pubs over 1000 years old
Someone should teach her how to use a knife and fork
Eh, who cares, as long as it gets the job done
Italian name but not class, better Claudia from food insider
She thinks she is a food journalist and can't hold Utensils😔😔✌
she is a joke
I was looking for this post🤣
And gets surprised that a poached egg has a runny yolk
and she lied, she never had eggs benedict before. Her reaction says it all...
Oh, man! A Delmonico’s steak is so good! I crave it often!!
"...gloved waiters.." shows waiters with no gloves.
Actually showed a worker setting up a table. Probably a bus boy. Also, the statement referred to Delmonico's being the first to have gloved waiters. That policy may no longer be in effect.
It's NOT a restaurant: Delmonico's is an institution, a legend
"Food Insider" and still pronounce Worcestershire wrong
Chopin and Tesla wont stop patronising Delmonico's . That's the spirit.
Left egg looked like a mistake
Good catch!
I was about to comment on that! Why would u not do it again...
Also truffle and caviar?? Seriously?? 🙄 I know this place is old but.. what does that serve? following what every other “fine” dining place does tacking on dumb expensive ingredients for no reason. I have strong opinions towards this. Lmao
@@ohyeahminecraft yunm, cavier! 😋
Mistegg
Ive been here before and i can tell you it is absolutley.......HYPE
Most older famous restaurants are NGL
They usually ONLY have a historical appeal that does catch up to or match modern tastes
3:05 Menu doesn't seem nearly as expensive as I expected.
i cant take this Restaurant serious. Not one serious place has their dishes branded as big as this delmonicos
Beautiful Restaurant. My FAVOURITE Breakfast. LOVE EGGS BENEDICT. Cool history. I LIKE IT.
I can't believe it's 180 years! Korea doesn't have such an old restaurant yet! 👍
워킹푸드 Korean Street food That is hard for me to believe
Ahhhhh.....I would love to go there. For the history and the food. Yum.
I don't mean to crack you up, but these do look eggcellent!
Passion for food that was a eggmazing joke ;)
Eggxactly!😄
cringe
Hey passion ! Love your videos !!
@@peluchinpower Thanks !
Ok. I'm Back. Ordering the Eggs Benedict, Steak rare and the baked Alaska. Awesome
Anyone watching Food Insider's awesome video… Have a phenomenal day and rest of 2019!!!
Wow look at her holding that knife. So elegant.
Watching videos at 3am supposed to make me happy
why did this video make me sad
Why ?
The restaurant "Den Gyldene Freden" (The Golden Peace) opened in Stockholm, Sweden in 1572 and moved to its present address in 1722. The restaurant "Stiftskeller St. Peter" in Salzburg, Austria opened in 803....
Last time I was this early Food Insider still had 100 subs
Fingering Things Seriously?
cant believe ive never heard of the place, sounds amazing
you all realize the is the entrance to the hotel in John Wick
lol, my former house was older than that, and 80% of my villages houses were older than that, when you spend your whole life living in the old all you want is something new and modern, but fancy people who always lived with the best find it so charming and woah. But i must admit, a business with that age is commendable, in my country youll find a lot of them but still, commendable
I read: *"How An 180-Year-Old Eggs Benedict Created NYC"*
Love how in America 1800’s are considered extremely old for a building
I thought hollandaise sauce had eggs?
Yes, egg yolk, butter and vinegar
@@pixeljacked8047 Lemon
@@Shion6seven yes lemon and a pinch of salt
Yes, she missed the eggs. Yes, she has a vocabulary problem. Yes, she was awkward with the utensils. I think we've established that she isn't a Pultitzer caliber journalist.
It does and it was invented in 1651 in Normandy France. Eggs Benedict is not American.
New York High Class Restaurant Starter Pack: Gold leaf + black truffel.
The way she reacted to the egg.... Like what did you think would happen when you cut into an egg.
Totally embarrassing 😳
Love the history, food and place looks great too.
You can take the left egg back.
😂😂
LMAOOO
Can't wait till Delmonico's re-opens later this year.
Baked Alaska was invented at Antoine's in New Orleans
Because whatever spiel they broadcast in this story sounds tragic, trifling and VERY UNIMPRESSIVE.
There are felafel booth in Iran older than that
Me: im gonna put solid gold bar on top with diamonds, gems, pearls, and titanium shreds
@Beans,Platinum shreds are more tasty. Trust to me, I'm from Costa Rican way.
That's nice learning about a little history while hungry.
This man is truly a new york native. He said "its good hangover food". That it is. That it is.
Awesome! Chef Billy is a real one 👌
Amanda C ;-)I agree 👍🏻🤗
Fact :- Nikola telsa daily ordered the food from this restaurant to his hotel.
Sandwiches from Delmonicos. In the 19th century it was the sign that you were high class. I'm happy the restaurant is still around. You can't go wrong with storied history with the traditional cuisine that made this establishment famous.
Oh god, how does food insider manages to get so many anoying hosts to work at the same company.
Casting couch hires
Lmaoo thought the same after her reaction to the yolk running
All females under thirty years old, yes they look like the casting couch type. Too young, embarrassingly so
cheap labor with no manners...
Wow! This place is massive !!! I would love to go here sometime and have a nice steak and a glass of red wine. ❤
Delmonico’s was straight up referenced in Food Wars (Shokugeki no Soma), a food anime about professional chefs, when one of the characters made eggs benedict for her competition.
One time, I ate so much caviar, all I tasted was the salty briney liquid on my tongue. It was leftovers from a customer's wedding banquet in the garde manger fridge. 3 full tins.
this is the type of place that would make just as much money as a museum vs a restaurant. Impressive.
The oldest restaurant in world is called Sobrino de Botin it’s close to 300yrs old and is in Spain
I would like to go here...this is my favorite breakfast.....but sadly I am poor.
Wow. The prices on that menu were extraordinarily cheap! Did not expect that.
It's so funny how Americans are really impressed by a restaurant from the 1800's. One of the UK's oldest pubs is from 1086 and there are other pubs that claim to be even older. Kind of puts things in perspective.. :-P
Wow these look delicious
When you ask someone "who has sat here?" and the first person they think of is Woopie Goldberg, you're not in that great of a place
Who's Woopie Goldberg?
@@kissxadonis 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....you have no idea how funny this is.
talking about the restaurant instead of the people who created it, clearly something is either super shallow or just something is not understood about creativity, the place now is just a shell of what made it great
never knew truffle could “hit you in the face”
I’m 38 and I finally had eggs Benedict for the first time couple weeks ago, I thought it was overrated but it did not look like that with the caviar truffle, so when I go to New York for the Yankees game got a check this place out
I've had them before, but last week I noticed the first of my asparagus was ready so thought I'd have a go at hollandaise. OMG, I will never be able to eat them in a restaurant again! Mind you, I used smoked salmon and crab, and nitrate free bacon as well as the utterly fresh asparagus :)
When she can’t use a fork 😩😍
Kyle Joerger don’t get too stoked that means her hand action while servicing ain’t too great
180 years old. That’s amazing. But where I come from. The local tavern is 450 years old
The people who emigrated to NYC weren't the brightest and it shows everyday
This restaurant's older than countries. Canada's only 152 years old
I'm on a diet but this looks so delish! 🤩🤩
You probably wouldn't even be able to buy it.. it's extremely expensive for dishes like these..
Who cares! Uncle Gussy's food truck at 1:09, top notch!!
plan on being back in NY in 2020 .... will put this on the list!
5:53 she looks tired of this dude talking lol.
A historic place!
"O my God", yeh love its a poached egg get over it.
Wow, that looks incredible!
For having invented the dish, it looks nothing like the rendition I'm familiar with. Brioche instead of English muffin, microgreen/truffle/caviar topping, and a different version of Hollandaise (I've never put Worcestershire or vinegar into it...it's just eggs, lemon, butter, salt, and some pepper)
I use to work there on the line billy Oliva was a great chef I was on fish and Philly cheese steak and rosoto from it was awesome got the privilege to work with chef Oliva great guy my first day it was a huge snow storm and me and him prepped venison dumplings we spoke all night but the job was crazy be in at 10 prep and at 12 to 3 there would be over 700 tickets in one shot after those grueling 3 hours it was like running a marathon got to see the aging process learned alot sadly I left for a higher less demanding job but it stands out on my resume I'm 28 now I was there at 23 and it was madness got paid next to nothing for what it demanded the line the waiters made like couple grand weekly on tips the bus boys worked there 10 years just to grab a waiter spot IL miss that place but man it was hard 3 hours 700 orders but after we close 10 and from 3 to 10 there would be no one so u prep for next wall street rush sadly it down for good and I hung my jacket 4 years ago to go into release but working there I'll never forget and being part of that history
Lovely words John, it brings great satisfaction to one when they truely know what they've done is part of history.
Im gonna max out my credit card in this place
Bryan Abad The place ain’t cheap. Easy $150 a person with a few drinks.
@@DWilliam1 oh wow wonder how much for the food
Hollandaise is a classic french sauce, one that goes back hundreds of years back, eggs also. So i think this might be wrong
I thought caviar needed to have an Ivory spoon or it changes the flavor.
Hello,I enjoyed the video today😊 I’m hungry, but after I saw the video, I got more hungry😭 But I’m feeling better☺️Thank you for the good video❗️I’ll come by often😊 I hope you have a good day tomorrow🙏
