I’m in the restaurant biz for 15 years and i never get to ear those words ” take your time chef’s and make it perfect ” It’s more like ” take your head out of your fuckin but you dum ass and hurry “. Wow i’m amaze!
LUXURIOUS!! absolute decadence. please Maryland get a restaurant like this.
too bad the gang was way to plastered off the wines when they were thanking the French Laundry crew
@40950999 I think this was almost 10 years ago. I think it was filmed in 2000 or 2001
“THERE AREN’T CHOPS ON A FISH. >: (“
Tony Bourdain giggling like a Japanese school girl. Awesome
I weep when I watch this video, because I don’t see myself ever being able to visit. This is hands down my favorite food porn video.
What kind of soups were they served…I can never make out what the sever is saying
how old is this video? Both Eric and Anthony still have greyish hair…today it’s white!
Stop. It’s just too much isn’t it? Really. Too much food. Jurassic salt? Hey now let’s have some pork belly ice cream. They’re in a food coma by the end. Who foot the bill for that thing? Or did Thomas Keller eat it? I hope not. It’s sick. Good and bad sick.
20 different courses each? 80 different dishes? holy fuck!
@Seanc0272 How was it?
so over the top luxerios .. get over your self man
@togio100 The best ever. Ended up going December 23
@Seanc0272 How was your meal?
hm this feels like the food network before it got all commercial
240 fixed price sans tip tax or wine
@zodiacza
Shows how much you know [about the U.S.]
Per Se, Charlie Trotter’s, Alinea, L2O – to name a few – are also great U.S. restaurants to dine luxuriously at.
Dinner here was on a whole other level. I feel so lucky to have been to both The French Laundry and Per Se. TFL has the edge with the small town, and the fact the garden is across the street. Per Se has the edge with the decor and the view. Food is equally great at both places.
If you ever get the chance, take it. You may scoff at $250 per person. But you’d pay that for concert or sports tickets.
Think of it like that. As an “experience.”
@skopered Also, in the book of a Cook’s Tour, he says there is about 80 staff, and 80 diners per night. Eating there must be like being a medieval king where everyone else is there to serve you.
The tip? For a free meal like this? I’m guessing 5k.
Andy Garcia posing as a chef!
ill never understand how he makes 4 completely different tasting menus for one table how does he use all his product does he just waste a lot of food does he not sleep theres gotta be a catch
oh my god- this is like food porn! im salivating and lusting over this kind of meal.
what i would do to be able to cook ilke that for myself!
In about 4 hours they will all take the most expensive, refined poos of their lives.
