The prices here are actually really reasonable. That lamb dish is only $36. For NYC fine dining that's a steal.
Wow, that's an amazing price!
Should be about 50 pretty soon 😁
Yeah but that ribeye is $168 👀
@@agravery223 that is a Porterhouse steak and for the same size steak at a high end steakhouse can easily be over $250. $168 is a fair price for a 45oz steak.
For a reheated cooked shredded lamb sausage, I would much rather a portion of roasted shoulder.
Without this channel would be a lot of places that would go unnoticed by me. Thank you so very much for taking the time to bring these gems to the world.
Eater is by far the best food channel on YT.

Extremely high quality food, presented beautifully and not overly-pretentious. The trifecta.
Yea this was a vision made into reality. A well built business
I LOVE RAW
Costs a fortune. Quadrafecta
This chef has used every opportunity and experience to provide an amazing experience. I'll eat there next trip to NY.
almost as though they're being filmed....
Love the cherry tomato slicing hack! Will be trying that in my kitch
How awesome was that!
my brain popped and I shouted haha
i teach this trick to everyone i work with it feels like cheating
I came to the comments just for this
Daymn son, my employer's kitchen is all about speed there's no time to think so we never thought of this. Lol.
Definitely one of the best showcases here. The chef is sincere. Her passion shines through and that is well translated by her staff. Great stuff too that she wants others to experience the foods she tasted. I know that feeling. 😊
Absolutely agree
As a past director of Restaurants, I’m always in awe of the sheer ingenuity and work required to bring higher end restaurants like this to reality. I’ve seen it in person and I have so much respect for these people.
Yep good food takes alot of work alot of people don't get that
9:46 the noise of the bread so crunchy. I love that!
I will repeat myself: the measure of success of videos like these is,
Would I definitely visit when I can?
And the answer is an absolute yes.
Coudn't agree more. A lot of these places are aspirational right now (to go casually I mean), but soon! :)
as a restaurant owner, I can tell you her passion definitely exceeds my own. and her explanation on how she produces her t-bones or porterhouse, she is absolutely committed to her Craft
Much respect and tingling taste buds for this ladies menu. Very interesting ideas. I love the dehydration the reconstitution in flavored liquids. Friggan awesome 11/10
She really respects her ingredients and keeps it simple. The food feels and looks unpretentious - just celebrate a couple of great ingredients by cooking them properly. That lamb roulade dish looks phenomenal. So much love and care.
absolutely love how honest and realistic this is, everything isn't perfect, not everything can come in in a hessian sack from the farmer itself, not every process is super clean and easy.... she just fukn knows a lot about it and shares it with her team and the product is beautiful and genuine and I can only imagine how insanely delicious!
How the hell they get a raw fire permit in nyc
The passion brings a tear to my eye. I'll always enjoy watching someone work who loves every moment and is so knowledgeable.
I always wanted to be a great chef but lack discipline, ill settle for making my own food adequately lol
I love how she gives you a nice portion. I watch these experienced chefs get on here and sell you the process of creating great dishes but the final plate couldn't even feed a toddler. She very generous and I like that.
Usually those dishes you're talking about are part of everything from 6-12 courses though
Well it ain't free that's for sure
@@theNoxie the concept of tasting menus will never be understood by everyone i guess😅
@@johanpetersen50 Indeed😅 Their loss for sure!
Yah because you are huge or looking to go to a nice restaurant to overfeed your belly. You can do that with oatmeal or food from home.
I always admire the passion that goes into the preparation by these Chefs.
Thank you
Would love to have you as a guest to show the skills we gathered
Love the Chef you can tell she really is passionate about good quality food & ingredients and not pretentious in anyway. Would love to try some
The Bistecca alla Firoentina is $168. But given how massive that cut is, that's actually not unreasonable.
Cant u just say reasonable
That's crazy imagine 😳
@@seminky5341 no, because they don't mean the same thing.
@@seminky5341 I know right? I had to do math in my head to understand that lol.
@@OptimusWombat not quite entirely unreasonable of you to perhaps say so
I love the science, creativity, originality, and passion of this presentation.
Direct connection with supplies and the art of cooking. She is a total genius!!!!!
Awesome Showcase!!! Chef Sterling and her staff are amazing!
Tell them to cover their heads- I won't eat there
The food looks delicious. Honest, good products, clear presentation and real craftsmanship.
That lamb roulade is a 10. The engineering and preparation coupled with the pickled celery pesto is off the hook refined, high end and clever.
And ridiculously over complicated. A cooked shredded lamb sausage, then heated up in a pan. I just had medium rare grass fed New Zealand lamb for dinner, and I'd wager anything it tasted better than that. It's tricky cheffy look I'm clever for the sake of it food. Ridiculous
@@joedennehy386 that's why you're at home and their customers are dining there. Maybe they are just sick of a plain old lamb chop?
Very inspiring video, the intensity of Passion and Skill of both chefs is nothing short of spectacular!
Love these videos. The passion for food is contagious
This was an awesome display of various delicious dishes - I want to try them all! 🙂
proper cooking with feeling, real loving spoonful stuff, respect!
How wonderful ! everything is done in a traditional, Professionall way ! Preparing, tasting, and tweaking the food until its perfect ! I wish I could work there for a week ! However, already I have learned a great deal from this video, ( learning more even after 50 years cooking ) Love the idea of the butter poaching the steaks !
I worked here in Austria where i live, and we also poached our Steaks in a small pot of clarified butter that we had sitting on the edge of our grill. We seared it first and then gave it some 10-15 mins at a nice low temp. It was super delicious
I haven't seen a video that's made me want to fly immediately to try something in a long time. Wow!
Food cooked over firewood really is the best, it really brings out the flavour.
I can't imagine the added complexity and chaos of using firewood in a commercial application.
Kudos to Hillary for following her passion.
Beautiful, the fine art of cooking. You mastered it Hilary.
I just had the steak last night and it was incredible! Such an amazing restaurant.
Probably weeks solary left there😂
@@kapitalisttas Shared it with 5 people so nah lol.
I'm so jelly
I hated it
Are most of the items à la carte? Bet a steak is pricey, looks totally worth it.
Beautiful job you guys, from Chef to Chef 👨🍳 amazing work
Such an amazing teacher, zero wasted words of wisdom! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Chef!
Love the design of the open kitchen. It’s been well thought out. Provides for entertainment while you eat
This persons thought process is amazing
Awesome video, Fantastic Chef and Resturant!
I'd love to try that establishment! Everything looks great.
What beautiful , well cared for food! So creative.
OMG the amount of prep! Such a hard worker
The attention to details is amazing
Your food looks fantastic
I really am impressed with your professionalism and your great recipes
She explained nicely, excellent!
LOVE THIS ! I am a guy from Texas who has lived in Italy... i look forward to eating here next time in nyc. Really like that owners and chefs are so dedicated. The only thing i see missing, that they do in Tuscany, is a balsamic drizzle on the steak. Each place has their mixture of spices to it... but adds another level.
The sound of the pizza bianca being sliced?
SO GOOD.
love it - that's art - that's passion - thats real food
Wow, thanks Eater and Thank you Chef, Cheers!
Approachable, honest food…made with passion. I’m sold.
Really well done video. Congratulations. I can’t wait to eat there
Cooking at this level is an art
On my list of restaurants to visit when I'm in NYC!! Looks so good
Wow. Everything they do looks so good. No fancy BS.
INCREDIBLE! Wow. What a place.
this was a beautiful behind the scene def has been added to places to go and visit while in NYC!
Love how passionate the chef is.
This is calmness & elegance.
The best food techniques I have seen in long time.
Wow!!! What love for sharing the experience of a masters vision.
The fact that the reuse and never discard the stock, but only add to it is incredible.
What a great beauty in simplicity restaurant concept.👍
absolutely stunning chef!
I get ideas from videos like this …. And also answers to questions that I’ve asked myself .
I've never been a big fan of fish, but I really love a nice swordfish steak. Nothing else quite like it to me. That looked absolutely perfect. The steak too. I need to seek this place out the next time I have to go to the city.
Been in NYC for 10+ years and never heard of this place! Looks great.
looks amazing
That was great. I love cooking on fire. All of those dishes looked great. Thanks. 👍
The food looks delicious 😋
Definitely putting this on my list for the next time I visit NYC
Love this restaurant and excited to revisit! 😍
I worked a flame grille for quite some time with huge success in a limited space environment. I loved it but now I'm too old for all of that. This is bucket list stuff for me. More to see such devotion to the task but also to taste that lamb.
whats the life of a chef like?Is it glamorous as they show it?I heard its long hours with little pay
@@ko-kf2nu you negotiate your own pay and it's best to avoid hotel chains and places that have tiers of staff. They are those that demand a lot and pay little. However a bar and grille situation depends entirely on your performance. It's very demanding but also very satisfying if you love what you do. No reward. Move on. No one needs to be a slave.
Holy crap. That all looks so damn wonderful!
This is another world. Lol. It's pretty amazing that people make great food like this and the many people who can afford it. Fascinating!
This is the most awesome restaurant I've ever seen
I am in no way comparing myself to this, but I have started cooking a lot using live fire. I have built my first rig and am gathering parts and supplies to build a bigger one. Studying the techniques, experimenting with ingredients and spices salts, etc. it is a very interesting and satisfying way of cooking.
Ate here last night. 1 amazing appetizer. 2 entrees. 2 wonderful cocktails for 118$
Food 10/10
Vibe 10/10
Thank you
Wow - just beautiful, straightforward cooking. Absolutely loved this one!
Impressive mise en place!
Chef inspires our staff every service
Amazing and great looking restaurant!
Well done Chef and crew.
She's a chef and pitmaster - total badass. Thanks for showing this talent.
Loved that sound when she cut into the swordfish.
I went to the restaurant today. Got some pasta and fish. The food they made have unique flavor which might not please everyone, but I recognize the quality and what they're trying to create. I do recommend this restaurant!
This is what I'm talking about, this is going on the bucket list!
There is so much more that goes into it than we would do at home
Food looks amazing
I love restaurants that love what their doing
This place looks incredible
This looks and sure it is amazing 💖
love this channel and have seen a number of great short vids that are just incredible. After seeing this short doc I booked a table for my gf and myself and had one of the most disappointing meals ever! We wrote a lengthy review and posted to Eater and Resy, the restaurant begged us to return for a freeebie to change our opinion but we declined. The restaurant is huge, like a disneyland of food and no elegance, super noisy and the staff is just shuffles food at you to get you out for the next group to sit.
That's beautiful. I need to try this.
Looks amazing
can't wait to try
Before I subscribe I have to say the chef is beautiful in so many positive ways. Blessings Chef
Amazing!!
The lamb looks so good. She's amazing
Both the lamb dish and swordfish dish look amazing! Too bad I'm nowhere close to NYC.
Incredible chef!
I would love to feel the pressure of this kitchen !! Looks like there’s so much to learn from the Chef/Owner !!
Excellent!
