      @@laundromatjones4337 "more and more commonplace" ? we use them in different contexts but these contexts are fairly well defined
      - "tu" for someone that you know and are on equal grounds with and people fairly close to you
      - "vous" for the rest, for groups of people, or for someone close but for whom you have some form of particular respect
      If anything when someone uses "tu" even tho he doesn't knows you its either an attempt at closing the distance by implying friendliness or a mark of disrespect (context matters a lot obviously).
      Although it is true that specifically on the internet "vous" is strangely not used as the default for someone you don't know, but thats something I usually pin under the fact that people on the internet are generally less civilized, with throwing comebacks at each other being "the way" to communicate, and falls under the whole disrespect thing

      It’s the only acceptable way to judge or criticize something. Very well done. Someone once said: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything. I think this aplies to criticism especially . He clearly said Alex overused thyme, and it was a bit sweet, but praised his palate as well. He balanced his praise/ criticism very well. All negative points raised were things Alex , i am sure, immediately tasted the moment they were expressed, and can act upon later iterations of the jus. Chef could have easily dismissed the sauce by saying it is sub par, he didn’t like it, Alex should put in more work, which would accomplish absolutely nothing, as it contained only negativity

People like Alex that strive to understand everything and work on perfecting every flavor. Those people are rare enough to come by and even rarer to master their skills.

      I am glad I am living one hour from there - close enough to visit when I need something but far enough to not have to deal with the huge city problems, like huge livings costs (I have a 3 room family flat for the same rent you would get a tiny dark studio in Paris), enormous traffic jams, huge crowds everywhere, crime, everything being filthy, bad air (and some places literally reek!), etc. And that's the center of Paris, don't get me started on the poor suburbs like St. Dennis, Sarcelles or Grigny in the south ...

  • @rrs_13
    @rrs_13 3 года назад +1

    I completely agree with monsieur Le Squer; it is expectable fresh vegetables each time will imbue your sauce with an extra sweetness, given the water content fresh vegetables have, and that water contains a lot of sugars. I'd also not put more thyme at your last passage.
    As for character, try previously giving some colour to that last garlic clove, maybe with a brandy, or even adding a teaspoon of port (licorous wines complement chicken sauces so well). Perhaps consider also using shallots, and substituting your glazing fat (butter) for olive oil, which can be an aromatic variety with thyme, rosemary etc (and it is easy to do it yourself).
    Take this advice as you wish, as I'm not a chef and have very little formal training, although I have worked as a cook at michelin star restaurants.
