The amount of concentration that is needed to accurately have every process run at the right time, in the right order and with the right parts of the mechanism moving is outstanding. And the team seems to give opportunities to learn, which I am sure especially the younger members of the team will be able to cherish. Hats off to such a seemingly smooth service!

I used to bus and dishwash for our city's fancy restaurant. Let me tell you... Nothing is more special than being a disher, and a "gopher" for whatever someone needed, than being one that the chef offers a hand to. Owner was less strict than our chef, but during peaks of the day, he'd stop preparing and come chat with you while plates sat. He'll give you words of encouragement, if there's plates backed up, he'll drop the apron and roll his sleeves up. All cooking is stopped until dishes are caught up. Seeing this vantage point offers me a glimpse into what he did between helping everyone. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for this! Sincerely - the washers!

I can’t wait to get started and your videos have given my an insight to how a competitive and busy high end kitchen operates before I start working in one myself, so for that I have to say thank you.

It might be a bit rough at first but if cooking is a real passion for you, then you’ll learn quick and it’ll get easier. Hotels are definitely great places to learn how to be a good chef, but they can also come with long hours and often large amounts of food being made, depending on the size of the hotel, especially for breakfast, lunch and dinner times. . Keep your head up, learn what you can, and I definitely can guarantee that the knowledge you can learn there will help you move up to a higher paying chef job, but not without hard work and discipline.

It really is like that. During a service, particularly when its busy, you hit this natural rhythm where your not thinking about what table is having what, or how long the bacon has been under the grill, or how long chef across the stove is away from the duck being ready to rest which goes with your dish, or what time it is or how long you have left. You dont think, you just know, and do. As new things come up, you seamlessly slot them into your groove, and take everything as it comes. It's when something happens that causes you to lose that flow state, like a mistake on an order, or a mistake in the cooking or whatever it is, that it becomes very hard to get it back. I think that's a large part of what makes the job so stressful is managing that flow state when things happen outside of your control and interrupt the flow.

i feel like gordon ramsey screaming is often taken out of context, the only show he really shouts a lot on is hell’s kitchen, and the contestants on that show are competing to run an entire restaurant. that’s beside the fact that he is definitely encouraged to act like that by the producers because that’s what people watch that show for. if you watch his other shows that either feature amateur/home cooks like master chef or kitchen nightmares it becomes much more obvious the kind of person he is. i don’t think he’s ever shouted at someone on master chef for things that aren’t like literally safety and health hazards, and on kitchen nightmares almost every time he gets angry it’s with the entitled owners that drive their restaurants into the ground and fuck over their kitchen and waitstaff.

I take it the chef you are mentioning is Gordon Ramsey. He’s not shouting at the contestants to try and instill values in them, he’s shouting at them to build pressure. Being yelled at causes some contestants to cave under the pressure and that’s what Gordon is trying to weed out. Those who crack under pressure. He’s not trying to find a well oiled machine in Hell’s Kitchen. He’s trying to find a leader amongst the contestants who is worthy of the title head chef.

@@nathanieltremblay1495 It depends on where you work or more who you work for. Obviously as long as you aren't putting the spoon back in the sauce, you should taste it often IMO. I've worked for a restaurant chain before that didn't want any of the chefs eating any of the food, I used to just say I'm 'quality controlling' it. Now I'm in a very small restaurant kitchen wise, we only have 3 chefs and our owner is completely fine with us quality controlling food. Any time in the past I've trained apprentice chefs I've always told them a million times that they should make it a habit of taste testing their food
Yelling in an open kitchen would not be ideal.
Once again this is showing me that working as a head chef is more like being the conductor of an orchestra or working in logistics than it is to „just“ be a chef. The amount of concentration that is needed to accurately have every process run at the right time, in the right order and with the right parts of the mechanism moving is outstanding. And the team seems to give opportunities to learn, which I am sure especially the younger members of the team will be able to cherish. Hats off to such a seemingly smooth service!

I used to bus and dishwash for our city's fancy restaurant. Let me tell you... Nothing is more special than being a disher, and a "gopher" for whatever someone needed, than being one that the chef offers a hand to. Owner was less strict than our chef, but during peaks of the day, he'd stop preparing and come chat with you while plates sat. He'll give you words of encouragement, if there's plates backed up, he'll drop the apron and roll his sleeves up. All cooking is stopped until dishes are caught up. Seeing this vantage point offers me a glimpse into what he did between helping everyone. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for this! Sincerely - the washers!
Bro watching this made me think of the dishwashers.. damn you guys are busy
The first sign of a great chef... he recognizes the dishwashers, the backbone of the kitchen!

I can’t wait to get started and I really hope and can learn everything I possibly can to become a very good chef.
I will say, if you can handle working at a Hilton hotel, it will definitely help teach you the ins and outs of working in a fast paced kitchen. It might be a bit rough at first but if cooking is a real passion for you, then you’ll learn quick and it’ll get easier. Hotels are definitely great places to learn how to be a good chef, but they can also come with long hours and often large amounts of food being made, depending on the size of the hotel, especially for breakfast, lunch and dinner times. . Keep your head up, learn what you can, and I definitely can guarantee that the knowledge you can learn there will help you move up to a higher paying chef job, but not without hard work and discipline.
Man I'm jealous, I'm 18 and I've been cooking all my life but only professionally for 2 years in a small pub, I've successfully staged at Royal York fairmont hotel, Toronto and currently have a job interview upcoming at Victor in hotel Le germain. I have this feeling of envy everytime I hear someone is working in a place I've never worked at before because I'd imagine all the things I could have learned from each chef or cook that I meet. Good luck on that job man and have fun on the line!
@@JapethSierra you should be proud bro. At 18 you know your passion, have great experience, and opportunities already lined up. You'll go far in life. The world notices and rewards people who are passionate about what they do. I'm 22 and love communicating. I've run a business teaching skateboarding lessons for 2 years. A month ago, I met the owner of an engineering company at the skatepark and tried to sell him on a lesson. It ended up landing me a job in technical sales at that company. Point is the owner saw how I love what I do and wanted me on board. The same will happen for you. And remember this: pity anyone who passes you up. They have no idea who they're losing. Remember your worth and you'll go far. Much love from DC
Good luck!! I have so much respect for people who do this job. I read Gordon Ramsay book which was an amazing insight into how much work it is to be a chef. hats off.
Wish you the best bro. Keep it going.
I’m a server and nothing I love more then watching the chefs prep a meal when I can, so fascinating to see how they make it and how they work together
Love to see the teamwork and communication in restaurants like this.
When the chef is helping you clean your station is just pure respect 👌👌
Jup then you know that you doing your job not correct
@@Gillozz yeah but respect to the chef 😃
@@Gillozz true but you need that experience to learn how to do it correctly
Absolutely. Bring back memories of a very well respected chef say to me “if you work in the sh+t……you get in the sh5t” 😂😂. So true.
I noticed that. It really does show respect for his team.
I have some serious respect for Every single person in restaurant kitchens. There is so much going on and you guys are just flying through lunch service like it's any other day. It looks so complicated but all of you are on point it is very impressive.
I’ve never worked in a kitchen but I can imagine getting into that flow state feeling amazing, my path didn’t lead me to the kitchen but I like to think I’d enjoy it in another lifetime Side note, shoutout to the dishwashers cuz god damn I didn’t realize how many dirty dishes a kitchen like this can make
I think the first time I got into that flow state was after one year in the same restaurant. But yeah it feel good. Especially after the service when you're done and everything went smoothly
It really is like that. During a service, particularly when its busy, you hit this natural rhythm where your not thinking about what table is having what, or how long the bacon has been under the grill, or how long chef across the stove is away from the duck being ready to rest which goes with your dish, or what time it is or how long you have left. You dont think, you just know, and do. As new things come up, you seamlessly slot them into your groove, and take everything as it comes. It's when something happens that causes you to lose that flow state, like a mistake on an order, or a mistake in the cooking or whatever it is, that it becomes very hard to get it back. I think that's a large part of what makes the job so stressful is managing that flow state when things happen outside of your control and interrupt the flow.
Prep and timing is everything. The rest will come
@@Dan-me5liMise en place, timings and self-organisation are basics, not something that allows you to be "everything else comes". That's something an amateur would say and I respect it. But in our industry, mastering logistics, knowledge and skills is much more important. Timings and prep are taught to people who take a first step in the kitchen.
The calmest kitchen I've ever seen
A goog chef will always help other chefs on different sections if they are struggling. The fact that this head chef even helps clean sections demonstrates that his head is not up his arse. After 20 years as a chef myself in Australia, he is a great example of team leader. Great to see the respect given to boh staff as well.
As a bartender I have an immense amount of respect for this. Notice how every single task that requires mechanical skill is second nature which allows chef to focus on his end product. This is beautiful
Mechanical skill? Oh please, a lot of basic skills
@@marcusjensen3409 Yes but you have to multitask
@@marcusjensen3409 mechanical skill literally just means any precise muscle movement, regardless of difficulty. OP is also a bartender which could mean what's basic for us cooks/chefs is different from what they consider so.
@@marcusjensen3409 what kind of mechanical skills can you perform under high pressure or with precision, then?
@@marcusjensen3409 Lets see you do it buddy
6 seconds in and I'm already having a panic attack I'd literally rather be in the line of fire in the army
i work in one and ur right ahahaha (kill me)
Chef, thank you for giving us a glimpse into your daily work running a kitchen 🙏🏻
Respect to this man for his professionalism, leadership and the ability to own that kitchen. If someone can make a tough job look easy, that is a mark of quality and ability. Thank you for sharing this footage.
I was watching in awe, The way you treat your staff and explain things without demonising any of them, The way you run the kitchen is almost like a orchestra, everything runs smoothly and everybody has respect for eachother. We run 2 restaurants in North wales and I will be asking my kitchen team to watch this video with me to try and understand this concept of teamwork. Amazing work Chef!
So many of us, consumers, are never going to realise how hard you guys are working. The speed and intensity of work is really crazy
I love how organized they are.
I've recently been promoted to the role of junior sous chef and you are exactly the type of head chef that I aspire to be! Calm, collected, respectful and respected! I love this kind of content where people can see what it is we actually do and what we love doing!
More of this, please. I love to see this. Seeing this type of video makes you understand and appreciate the kitchen staff to a much higher degree. You make it look easy... like a dance with food. I love watching these and have now watched both of them twice today! lol
Why isn't POV's of chefs more popular on KZhead?? This is so fascinating to watch
After watching how well he and the team manage London's lunch hour; I wouldn't mind stopping to give the place a try.❤
You really got to appreciate what efforts are put into getting that dish to us. When we go out, we never really see or get a chance to see all the work and coordination needed to send food to the table. Keep up the good work to all the chefs and staffs out there ✊
The workflow of this kitchen is incredible. It seems so clean. Everything just works. Perfect teamwork
Good, calm head chef! Got everything to hand, never shouts. Gives instruction calmly and then gives rational. I’d love to work for this guy!!
I used to work at Aubaine in HSK as a waiter and seeing this I wish we had this much coordination and professionalism. What we did have is an incredible team of dishwasers. They would clean and polish pounds and pounds of cutlery and dishes in a split second and we NEVER ran out of anything because of them. What a video! Loved it.
Thank you chef for taking me back to my hospitality years. You are so very organised and living in the moment in every plate. We love it.
The way he runs the kitchen and takes care of his crew constantly helping them and giving them tips whilst doing his own stuff
Kitchens are no joke no matter what level you’re on.
Been a cook for 6 years now . Next month im moving to London. I hope i'll get a chance at finding this kind of professional environment to fulfill my dreams. Really inspiring. Thank you, chef!
Good luck!
As a retired Chef thank you for this video. I always enjoyed working the line and the rush that comes with it. I'm a bit older now and I enjoy watching the new generation pushing food forward to new levels, but some things still stay the same. Cook food that you love always and others will appreciate your honesty and effort. Cheers and keep on rocking & take no prisoners.
Cheers to u ❤️
This chef is super chill and it doesn’t even sound Iike he’s been drinking.
As a retired air traffic controller, I'd have no reservation recommending this guy for ATC school and training. He has tremendous multi-tasking skills and is calm and in control. If he can also think and work in 3 dimensions he'd be a star!
Marvellous work, chef...I worked at several kitchens across 7 years and it was rare we had this level of coordination and teamwork.
This is fantastic, (and actually realistic so no TV show) to watch for people who have no idea what's going on in a professional kitchen. No screaming etc etc. The way it's done! Love it!
I absolutely love the attention to detail and the tiny refinements you make at the pass. Great coaching of your crew as well. Very satisfying to watch!
Terrible, just terrible.
Its 4 am I should go to sleep.. POV HEAD CHEF DURING SERVICE Me: I must know
Love this. I know nothing about the restaurant business let alone about being a head chef for that matter and to see a chef with a head cam on showing all the work being done. I could watch for days
Honestly never thought I'd watch a half-hour video of someone in a restaurant kitchen, but there I go! What a guy, and what a restaurant. No surprise that it's so busy!
I listen to this while I study
Love seeing you eating all the food. Laughed pretty hard the first time.
I'm not a cook or someone who understands anything about food but I watched the whole video. It's so relaxing and satisfying seeing a kitchen working with so much organization. Chapeau 👏
I'm halfway through and I'm really enjoying this. Seems like you have fantastic communication with the other people in the kitchen and are supportive
Just the atmosphere that this video shows is beautiful.
I work in Film and TV, and there's a lot of planning that's done ahead of time. But working on the go like this, is on another level. I just found your channel and look forward to seeing more.
When I clicked on this video I did not think I was gonna watch the entire 29 minutes. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
idk anything abt cooking but the level of coordination and teamwork is insane. fantastic stuff.
I would've watched the entire shift. Really cool, and perfect angle for the whole thing. Thank you!
You're an inspiration. This is what i wanted to be. Now i am 40 years old and the only thing that still drives me is the passion foi cooking. I found out about your channel in a random way. Fantastic mate. Cheers from Portugal
I’m a producer of some of the bigger music festivals in the Netherlands and this reminds me of my job. It’s everybody contributing and being at their best to accomplish one goal: give people an unforgettable experience.
Watching this with my husband who is a chef by trade and see him smile is amazing. Had to give it up due to an accident but he wants to get back to it so much.
It was super impressive and I felt like the criticism and talk towards employees was polite and helpful. The only thing is the head chef ate a lot of the food touching his mouth then back to other food so it wasn’t the most hygienic.
I really liked this video because I like people who approach their work with enthusiasm and passion, even if some processes seem routine. The organization and preparation alone to keep the business running is an enormous effort and a masterpiece. Keep it up Chef.
as a chef at a regular upscale pub, this is incredible to watch. Just to see the equipment and the quality of everything makes me so jealous! Most kitchens you never seem to have enough pots/pans but hes got beautiful ones and all the induction burners, cool stuff!
massive respect to the chefs and also the kitchen porters
I love watching these videos while im doing schoolwork because i feel more inclined to be productive when im watching people be productive lol
Jesus Christ this looks so professional. Eyes and hands everywhere but still very calm. Always cleaning up and putting everything where it belongs. A real masterclass
Been there! Done that! Amazing footage!!! You'd think after going through this myself that watching you I should be traumatised but I find it strangely soothing!!! Amazed at despite the chaos and stress, you make it seem like its running smooth like butter and the respect you have for your staff and cleaners (all vital in any kitchen), i take my hat off to you Chef! I'll be visiting your restaurant the next time I'm in London. You've earned yourself a sub and future customer.
"Keep this clean" words to live by.... first thing I was taught clean as you go, you become so much more efficient the less clutter you have around you.
I love watching these while fasting, good way to learn self control.
Perfect example of a great team leader, good communication, everything is running smoothly, no need to shout and swear at people like a certain chef I don’t need to mention, and you even found time to have a giggle to keep the team’s morale up. Good work chef 👍 This is the first of your videos I have seen, I’ll definitely be watching more and subscribing 😊
i feel like gordon ramsey screaming is often taken out of context, the only show he really shouts a lot on is hell’s kitchen, and the contestants on that show are competing to run an entire restaurant. that’s beside the fact that he is definitely encouraged to act like that by the producers because that’s what people watch that show for. if you watch his other shows that either feature amateur/home cooks like master chef or kitchen nightmares it becomes much more obvious the kind of person he is. i don’t think he’s ever shouted at someone on master chef for things that aren’t like literally safety and health hazards, and on kitchen nightmares almost every time he gets angry it’s with the entitled owners that drive their restaurants into the ground and fuck over their kitchen and waitstaff.
I take it the chef you are mentioning is Gordon Ramsey. He’s not shouting at the contestants to try and instill values in them, he’s shouting at them to build pressure. Being yelled at causes some contestants to cave under the pressure and that’s what Gordon is trying to weed out. Those who crack under pressure. He’s not trying to find a well oiled machine in Hell’s Kitchen. He’s trying to find a leader amongst the contestants who is worthy of the title head chef.
@@spencerbrice5483 also that's in the USA, you see shows in the UK with him and he's pretty chilled and normal, but on US shows the editing is done to make him look the opposite. People in the US like drama.
Actually found this really relaxing! I know everyone is super busy, but nice to see it all being dealt with calmly and professionally, and each member knows what part of the cog of the machine they are, all super-douper!
The noises made me want to curl up and sleep
As an outsider it is blatantly obvious how hard you are working. Hats off to you.
Suprising how relaxing watching someone working can be
You should include the date and time of the recording. Might be fun for some customers to go back and see their actual meal being prepared
