Thanks for watching this special 'Mise En Place' episode we produced with our sister publication Punch. Check out Punch for tons of coverage on wine, spirits, cocktails and the best bars to visit in your city. punchdrink.com/
This bar, the drinks, staff & overall look in the video is all very well done on a high level. I worked around the world as a cocktail bartender in various Countries & I must say these are some special drinks🍸💎💯 After traveling around the world I settled here in Taiwan. 🇹🇼 so I recognized that cool guys Taiwanese accent right away. Great mix of East & West ☯️
There's so much passion and detail put into their whole restaurant. I wish them all the best with their business. Totally gonna visit when I go to New York.
The part where they said "we just had to do something to survive" is so relatable on a spiritual level almost. The Rona hit everyone hard, times are tough, people go out of business like the apocalypse is nigh. Keeping your head above the water becomes a necessity.
So for anyone whose curious, Tainan had a massive sugar industry back in the Japanese colonisation period during world war. Basically, every dish in Tainan has extra sweet notes compared to other cities in Taiwan, some people say the reason for it is because sugar used to symbolise wealth back in the day, but there are a lot of different stories for that. That's why people from Tainan are pretty much all sweet tooth.
For anyone else curious it was also the heart of the Japanese Cocaine empire where they produced uncountable kilos to be stockpiled for self-sufficient anesthesia with tons of surplus sold on the black markets from China to India. Japan was briefly the world's first narco state.
Love what GN Chan has done and achieved. I had the privilege to meet him when he was coming up at Angel's Share, which has sadly since closed. It's beautiful to see how much passion he has for his cocktails. All his concepts including double chicken absolutely deserve the title TOP 50 US BARS in the nation.
@@johnnyrodgersss wont really know till you try it. looks too much but I assure you its smooth and tastes amazing. but if ur the type to just want get smashed then its definitely not for you
You can clearly see the discipline, enjoyment and 100% dedication in everything that they do.. and they do A LOT! Definitely on my list of places to visit.
They shave and cut down ice to make a better quality drink. The attention to flavors and reuse of ingredients is amazing and totally from love. I want to indulge in this for sure.
Please without all the pretentiousness, its just a giant ice cube, even if you cut it into an intricate diamond shape, its no different from an ice cube whose purpose is to make your glass drink cold. I respect alcohol critics for their ability do say "elaborate" descriptions of flavor profile on drinks, but on the aesthetic section of bartending? I never got sold on the scene, because you are there on the bar to indulge on the drink, you stare on the glass for a couple of seconds and thats it, its not as if you get to be mesmerized on staring your drink for more than 10 minutes...unless you are getting drunk
@@rdu239 There is an actual scientific reason for shaving the sides, it reduces physical contact with the glass which slows down the melting speed of the ice allowing for a better drinking experience. I'm not disagreeing with your opinions, but felt I should point out a chemistry/physics fact about the reasoning behind the ice shapes.
@@W4TH3JE5U5 but there are still edges on the ice so unless it was a sphere that theory doesn’t hold up. I think the whole thing is very pretentious lol it’s even worse that the bar tenders think there movements have to be all robotic looking and fake, is shaking a glass like they do really necessary? Just shake the F N thing and smile
This place will endure the test of time. They have innovative recipes that take into consideration sustainability, refined flavoring, enriching Asian culture, a team that has bonded in their passion and good nature, and well, put-together decor. Can't wait to visit and devour a dish and drink.
I mean I thought it was gonna be something like rendered chicken fat or something and the thumbnail was for the click bait. I've heard of fat on spirits so it wasn't too crazy and idea. .. but yeah definitely thought it'll be a chicken cocktail Edit: watched the whole video they do wayyyyyyyy more intricate stuff than chicken based cocktails. This place my absolute respect!
When this video started I rolled my eyes a bit thinking "oh its a cocktail and fried chicken place well this won't be pretentious"....turns out its actually an awesome place. The detail and combination between the restaurant and bar is really cool.
I don't even drink but I just wanna go and try all their cocktails they have on offer, they make it look so appretising and the skill behind each drink is truly remarkable. I hope to visit one day
Taiwan #1! Love that we finally get to showcase to the world the sophistication, creativity, and heart that bartenders in Taiwan have been cultivating and developing all these years!
love seeing their passion and love for everything they do. You can feel how much thought they've put in. hope to visit this beautiful place when I'm travelling to NYC one day
Dude... best watch in ages. The energy that goes into creating the drinks menu is NUTZ you guys are a necessity for the industry %100. . .LESSh GO!!!!!
I visited two weeks ago - just fantastic - First a cocktail front of house, then back of house had the Red Eye Gravy. The flavours were incredibly complex and came together in a magical way. Was late at night, so have to go back and try the food. People were fantastic too!
I am beyond impressed with the amount of creativity and soul go into every especially these cocktails. Such a amazing job like an art. I have no other words just wow.
Probably one of the most innovative bar/restaurant I've seen on this channel. Every little thing has a purpose and everything is done to perfection. (Ffs, they make their own Oreos)
Finally go to go here after seeing this video two years ago. To say it lived up to the hype is an understatement. The cocktails are insane and the food is on the same path. Can’t wait to visit nyc again and go back
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw the thumbnail... I wrongly assumed it would be some hipster nonsense - but I was completely wrong. I got a bunch of new techniques that I think are absolute brilliant. Will defo be using them!! Even the way the guys and girls take the lids off shakers is slick! Great video
That is some next-level craft right there, all around. The attention to detail and creativity is nuts. If I still drank I would definitely try it out (will have to settle for that crazy awesome-looking food though).
I have been to Double Chicken Please about a year ago and I can tell you that my money was WORTH every penny. I did not have any food as I went there for drinks after. But man.... the drinks have crazy depth of flavor. The key lime pie and the Japanese cold noodle are my top faves and I can still taste it in my mouth.
Once you mentioned szechuan peppercorns in the honey, I knew this would be my favorite chicken sandwich if I ever tried it. If I'm ever in New York, I'm definitely going to give this a try. (edit: and yes, I might get a little hammered off those amazing cocktails)
That's because corn syrup is cheap. Why make it if you can buy it. The American gov subsidizes the corn industry so there's excess production of corn and much of that excess goes into making corn syrup which is so cheap that companies use it for everything from frozen toaster strudels to cereal, candy, everything!
U can tell how good they are at this there are just no rules for them anymore they can just play with their imaginations cause they just have the technical expertise part totally mastered
I love the zero bullsh*t that goes on here. Innovative, straightforward, and a whole experience. "How do you make sure the bar moves fast enough?" You... move faster 😂 Asian mentality right there.
Did not notice an employee called Holy and they do not show that they smoke the chicken before serving. Or do you mean "Holy smokes! *That hot chicken (...).*"? Punctuation does matter.

Sure they could find someone to mold or buy an industrial sized ice mold with the shaved edges shape to save time.
One of the cheapest, healthiest food. somebody's done evil things in few countries and it was good only for one while.
There's so much passion and detail put into their whole restaurant. I wish them all the best with their business. Totally gonna visit when I go to New York.
dont go to Nyc its acomplete shytehole
Same here :)
Best to make a reservation well in advance
Seeing the chef repurpose the leftovers from prepping drinks into food was really cool
I don't know if I'd say he "repurposed leftovers". he intentionally design his menu this way. there's a difference
@@nottheone582 thats literally what he did. He designed it in a way where he is able to repurpose the leftovers.
This man is an artist. What a legit bartender. 5 stars! Two thumbs up!
He's a drug dealer.
That mushroom coffee butter and whisky concoction is one of the coolest things ive seen in awhile
Their cold pizza and soba cocktails are outstanding. Definitely a must visit again.
The part where they said "we just had to do something to survive" is so relatable on a spiritual level almost. The Rona hit everyone hard, times are tough, people go out of business like the apocalypse is nigh. Keeping your head above the water becomes a necessity.
Best episode yet. These guys are brilliant in their approach. You can feel the passion

didn't ask. don't care.
@@Pooqua The guy literally mentioned "For anyone whose curious". Atleast bother to read before you are rude to somebody because your life sucks.
@@Pooqua yeah just like I didn’t ask u to read my comments, n I don’t care if u don’t care. Lol, have a nice day :) thx for your comment ;)
@@Pooqua Yikes. discord mod spotted.
For anyone else curious it was also the heart of the Japanese Cocaine empire where they produced uncountable kilos to be stockpiled for self-sufficient anesthesia with tons of surplus sold on the black markets from China to India. Japan was briefly the world's first narco state.
man i would love a cocktail and a chicken sandwich right now.
What a great lot of passionate and down to earth people. Wish you all continued success in this business.

Usually I find complicated cocktails really pretentious, but this is actually really cool to see their thought process.
Yeah still pointless and disgusting imo...just give me a str8 shot and hurry up..the sandwich looked fire though
@@johnnyrodgersss wont really know till you try it. looks too much but I assure you its smooth and tastes amazing. but if ur the type to just want get smashed then its definitely not for you
*Facepalm*
For real these guys made me respect it not gonna lie
I can respect these cocktails bc the alternative is literally a delicious chicken sammich lol
It's just crazy the amount of detail on how intentional their efforts are towards a dish or drink. Mindblowing.
I love how we can see a bit of the science and creativity that goes on in their kitchen. Makes you appreciate the food more.
You can clearly see the discipline, enjoyment and 100% dedication in everything that they do.. and they do A LOT! Definitely on my list of places to visit.
One of, if not the, best Eater videos I've ever watched! Their passion is palpable and, by extension, the joy in what they do.
They shave and cut down ice to make a better quality drink. The attention to flavors and reuse of ingredients is amazing and totally from love. I want to indulge in this for sure.

i wonder why they dont just order spheres. or buy an ice machine
@@rdu239 nah its the product + experience, tickling every sense, which sets it apart

Not Japanese lmao
Taiwanese
@@buythaiproperty Thank you for the correction. I thought I heard mentioned at one point that they were Japanese.
Japanese cocktail technique, but the owners are taiwanese. Simple mistake :)
@@mrstuffguyz Is that legal?
Reading the headline I thought this establishment served chicken based cocktails
So did I it looked absolutely disgusting
I mean I thought it was gonna be something like rendered chicken fat or something and the thumbnail was for the click bait. I've heard of fat on spirits so it wasn't too crazy and idea. .. but yeah definitely thought it'll be a chicken cocktail
Edit: watched the whole video they do wayyyyyyyy more intricate stuff than chicken based cocktails. This place my absolute respect!
Yea I was so confused I was like please tell me that’s not just grease
Same lmao
Omg! I though so too! I thought it was a chicken broth cocktail Lol 😂
When this video started I rolled my eyes a bit thinking "oh its a cocktail and fried chicken place well this won't be pretentious"....turns out its actually an awesome place. The detail and combination between the restaurant and bar is really cool.
This place was the hit of our NYC trip this December. You really can't beat top shelf cocktails AND amazing food. Could've stayed there for hours.
One of the most creative concepts I’ve ever come across in NY. Wish them the best and years of success.
I don't even drink but I just wanna go and try all their cocktails they have on offer, they make it look so appretising and the skill behind each drink is truly remarkable. I hope to visit one day
the fact that he takes the time to cut the ice, respect to the craft man!
That was awesome. Can really feel the hard work, creativity and love they have for the place.
Taiwan #1! Love that we finally get to showcase to the world the sophistication, creativity, and heart that bartenders in Taiwan have been cultivating and developing all these years!
most of the people I've met from taiwan have been super cool! they have some amazing talented folks in food, fashion, music, etc
love seeing their passion and love for everything they do. You can feel how much thought they've put in. hope to visit this beautiful place when I'm travelling to NYC one day
The effort that went into making ONE item is incredible enough
the way they do the shaking is mesmerizing! I love all the details and what the creativity and concept of all their menu tems!
Dude... best watch in ages. The energy that goes into creating the drinks menu is NUTZ you guys are a necessity for the industry %100. . .LESSh GO!!!!!
Everything looks absolutely delicious
I visited two weeks ago - just fantastic - First a cocktail front of house, then back of house had the Red Eye Gravy. The flavours were incredibly complex and came together in a magical way. Was late at night, so have to go back and try the food. People were fantastic too!
What would this world be like without creative people like that. What a great place and I need a drink...cheers🤟
Amazing! Incredible amount of care and quality going into this behind the scenes.
I am beyond impressed with the amount of creativity and soul go into every especially these cocktails. Such a amazing job like an art. I have no other words just wow.
Back to watch this after They nominated as No 1 The best Bar in North America
Congratulations Double chicken please, well deserved 🙌🍸🐔
my favorite bar in nyc. what an experience
Probably one of the most innovative bar/restaurant I've seen on this channel. Every little thing has a purpose and everything is done to perfection. (Ffs, they make their own Oreos)
Such dedication to flavour and customer satisfaction! So much respect!
These chefs/bartenders are why I wanna get into bartending. The process is long but the flavors must be wild.
That's a lot of dedication to the craft. I'm sure the customers appreciate it!
This is beautiful. I have been slacking on some creative projects lately. Watching them and their commitment to their craft inspired me. Time to work.
Appreciation for the time and work that goes in to the process. Well done. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
This place is wildly out of the box with its concepts... So cool.
The fact that i've never even heard of these ways of utilising mushrooms and whiskey and all these drinks just amazes me.. WOW
Finally go to go here after seeing this video two years ago. To say it lived up to the hype is an understatement. The cocktails are insane and the food is on the same path. Can’t wait to visit nyc again and go back
This is really cool how they pair/combine the food and drinks. As well as using the leftovers from the drinks in the food.
Bro those mushroom poppers. So many layers of flavour. Amazing
Never wanted to visit New York before until I seen this. Think I’d be happy to spend a whole holiday in this place trying everything they have
There’s an insane amount of hard work in there, brilliant.
Just WOW……… so creative and dedicated. Something to be Very Proud of. Not only the owners, but the workers too. Great atmosphere
The bartender is a mad scientist dedicated to his craft, you can tell he's passionate about cocktails!!
Oh yea the videography and music was on point also!
Thanks for making this 20 mins, so worth the double length, great bar
The chicken sandwich caught my attention, the cocktails blew me away! I wish I can visit this place some day :)
How did they blow you away if you haven’t tried them smh
Of all the mise en place episodes I’ve watched - this one has intrigued me the most. I want to travel to New York just to visit this place.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I saw the thumbnail... I wrongly assumed it would be some hipster nonsense - but I was completely wrong. I got a bunch of new techniques that I think are absolute brilliant. Will defo be using them!! Even the way the guys and girls take the lids off shakers is slick! Great video
That is some next-level craft right there, all around. The attention to detail and creativity is nuts. If I still drank I would definitely try it out (will have to settle for that crazy awesome-looking food though).
As soon as he said it’s incredibly time consuming but worth the quality you know he’s in the right career
BLOWN AWAY... the precision👏👏
Omg his focus and the seriousness when he makes the drink is like he playing cards gambling !! ; ) it’s so cool!! And so fast !!
I'm not much for mixed drinks. But this place could change me. Looks amazing.
If I would have seen this episode first, I would have appreciated my visit there much more. I can't wait to go back!
I have been to Double Chicken Please about a year ago and I can tell you that my money was WORTH every penny. I did not have any food as I went there for drinks after. But man.... the drinks have crazy depth of flavor. The key lime pie and the Japanese cold noodle are my top faves and I can still taste it in my mouth.
I'm def gonna go here on my next visit to NYC! What an incredible team 👏🏼
Love this series but this is so much more fascinating I find. I don't even drink...
They do mocktails ;)
The combination of the red eye gravy is so new to me! Can't even fathom how it would taste, would love to try it once
They're very good. Went for my birthday and everything was lovely.
Those guys are straight up artists.. I would love to be able to check that place out.
the amount of complexities are incredible!
I really love their innovative ideas. Especially the drinks.
Literally unique, at least to my knowledge.
Once you mentioned szechuan peppercorns in the honey, I knew this would be my favorite chicken sandwich if I ever tried it. If I'm ever in New York, I'm definitely going to give this a try. (edit: and yes, I might get a little hammered off those amazing cocktails)
Best spice out there. Probably the best in Chinese cuisine haha
This place is actually reasonably priced for NYC
The attention to detail is amazing
Wow! Unbelievable the amount of work and processes that gos into their products.
... the amount of work and processes that go* (singular: "goes") into ...
Very dope. Much respect to what these guys are doing. Hope to visit some day!
This definitely goes in my bucket list.
This is the craziest thing I have ever seen. I'm flabbergasted.
The fast washing of the whiskey!!! Love the passion and innovation! Awesome!
This is one of the most interesting things I've seen on Mise En Place.
This is Alchemy!!! Wow never seen anything like this. It's not food its magic
Had the please of going to DCP earlier this year, the Japanese Cold Noodle & Cold Pizza cocktails were out of this world
I’ve been watching Food Shows on TV and RUclips for Years and this is the first time I’ve seen someone Make Corn Syrup from scratch in any form
That's because corn syrup is cheap. Why make it if you can buy it. The American gov subsidizes the corn industry so there's excess production of corn and much of that excess goes into making corn syrup which is so cheap that companies use it for everything from frozen toaster strudels to cereal, candy, everything!
The way they mix the drinks is fascinating lol
very wonderfull, Their cold pizza and soba cocktails are outstanding. Definitely a must visit again.
U can tell how good they are at this there are just no rules for them anymore they can just play with their imaginations cause they just have the technical expertise part totally mastered
They still follow some rules. Bet they even use punctuation in their written communication to make reading a more pleasant experience😉.
My new favorite cocktail bar in NYC ever since Angel's Share closed. So creative and fun!
Starting a bar business will entail you massive financial investment, its a mountain of challenge compared to starting lets say a fast food joint.
THIS IS ART.
Never thought to use fresh herbs for a brine. Fantastic!!!
This ain’t bartending this is Mixology at its finest 💯
I wanna try everything on their menu
I love the zero bullsh*t that goes on here. Innovative, straightforward, and a whole experience.
"How do you make sure the bar moves fast enough?"
You... move faster 😂
Asian mentality right there.
Holy smokes that hot honey chicken sandwich looks amazing
Its fast food honestly, no matter how people try hard to make it posh and fancy, US cuisine in general are unhealthy
@@rdu239 US cuisine in general is* unhealthy. Which, in general, is not true!
Did not notice an employee called Holy and they do not show that they smoke the chicken before serving. Or do you mean "Holy smokes! *That hot chicken (...).*"? Punctuation does matter.
wow Amazing work! must be tough to work there but you must learn so much !
There's no shortcut to a successful restaurant, these guys are proof. Just, wow.
This is next level creativity.
Never thought I’d see a Taiwanese bar killing it in NYC. 有機會還真想去一次。
Ah such a good video, really appreciate the professionals explaining their brilliant technique.
Love these guys!!!
Red-eye gravy is southern; I love the throwback.
me : yeah, that's how you make a proper drink
also me : *chug my $3 beer
