The British chef is so charismatic. Love that they have everyone taste test so they can develop their skills too
Love the inclusivity of the whole place. It takes a highly motivated team to run a kitchen well. these guys are on top of their game!
The upper staff not everyone
@@ObesePuppies really!
Yes! He needs to do a series on butchering or something, I'd watch it in a heartbeat.
That's just common practice in high end kitchens. Everyone tastes everything across their whole station at multiple points in the day
I am a beef farmer in Alberta. We produce grass finished beef. We spend our whole year producing this level of beef, we never actually get to witness this greatness taking place. The animals we respected and raised for a year and a half, it does my heart good to see them used to this high standard.
You better bet it’s Berta beef!
@@waltonsmith4279 S and P thats for me.
Proud of our Alberta beef. I get friends from Ontario, BC and Quebec visit and they are always blown away by the quality of steak that Alberta has.
@@waltonsmith4279 I knew I was going to see a Letterkeny reference, thanks for making me laugh.
But the cows are grain fed for the first half of their life?
I live around the corner from Hawksmoor in New York and have been over a dozen times. It’s hands down my favorite restaurant in the city and offers the full package - incredible bar & cocktail menu, world class beef, fantastic side dish options, great deserts and an amazing ambience. Couldn’t give them a higher level of praise, cheers to a great establishment.
Nothing is better than the camaraderie of a kitchen and working with fellow cooks/chef's.
So true. I left the industry in 2021 to work in insurance.. I feel now as if I made a mistake. Being around close knit teams really does something for your overall well being.
I read the New York Times review of this restaurant where they mention the serving of slabs of meat "that you could conceivably eat by yourself if you could take the next day off to lie very quietly on the couch like a python." That made me want to visit this establishment for sure.
Been to the various Hawksmoor's restaurants in London. I can recommend all however know what you want; how you want it cooked and always have the bone marrow.
Yeah, they know how to market it to americans, for sure.

Hats off to the production people getting a in depth of this sort of thing but an even bigger hats off to the chefs and people at the restaurant, you can tell everyone loves doing what they’re doing and staff people are like family. that’s dope
well if u ask 300$ for a menu u must act like it
this is what i call a perfect restaurant to work into! the owner is ok and the staff too!
Ò I 0p
Indeed Fam.very well said.as a Chef when you have a crew or Family as u so rightly put it.And they all enjoy what they do.Its like Poetry in motion.
@@stefanManiak262011 Have you been there Bro?? I would love to have that experience.
I’m from the Scottish highlands and I own a Croft with shorthorn beef cattle. A croft is a small highland patch of land that we can breed cattle or sheep or grow native products on. It’s tightly regulated. We have 30 cows and a bull. Our cows are fed sileage from our own land in the winter and the pregnant mums are supplemented with feed. All summer they’re let loose on the hills behind our village where there’s lots of gorgeous grass and fresh water. When it’s calving time it’s hard work - my husband has a full time job as a paramedic and here they work a full week shift from 9am on a Wednesday until 9am the next Wednesday - 24/7. So, there’s times when he’s absolutely exhausted but still loves the crofting. We name all of our cows and they’re like big dogs that respond to their name and will come up and batter your butt until you give them a scratch on their butt at the base of their tail or on the inside of the top of their leg….they love it. For the work that goes into rearing them, the crofters make little money. We have to transport fertiliser, grass seed, cattle feed, equipment for repairs and then there’s government fees and vet fees. It’s insane. The cows are sold on the other side of the highlands in Dingwall and we have to find transport there and then there’s market fees. So, we don’t make a profit at all and it’s basically a love of continuing a highland tradition and love for our gorgeous ladies and the calves they produce. To see a restaurant take so much care in the way they use the whole product and appreciate the way cows are fed and where they come from is something I take comfort from. Too many people don’t seem to understand where their food comes from and how it’s produced. Over here we’ve been shown the effects of American cattle being feed hormones and other stuff to make them bigger and get more beef out of a cow. It’s horrible - those hormones end up being eaten by people and it’s not right. If more restaurants and chefs made an effort to research their meat and sources and made the best of the whole carcass like these guys, then it’s only going to be a good thing.
Amazing! 🫡
Totally. Thank you lady for your pround work
My favorite part was the head chef making sure his entire senior cooking staff is tasting the beef with him. They get to taste the differences in cuts and give their opinions. That’s awesome stuff coming from the leader of the restaurant
This channel really gives us an in-depth and comprehensive rundown of how restaurants function, love it!!!!
And it's still only the tip of the iceberg. But yeah Easter is great.
Running a restaurant is Effin hard work. These guys are phenomenal.
You don't love it. You told me last week that you hate it.
@@brucelee5576 vb
Outstanding content!
People usually doesn't think about the intricacies of every dish that they eat and it's really amazing to see in this video how it took all day to prepare the menus
It’s true! Coming from a chef, people don’t know how long dishes take. Especially from passionate people, some dishes take days to weeks from marinading to dry aging, fermenting, pickling, curing.
For the places that care and try, yes.
I hope people can understand why the pricing is so much and not just comparing the portions on their plate. Lots of eaters in the US don't recognize the labor behind the scenes.
Also, Grammar is important... "don't" and not "doesn't".... 🙄🙄🙄
@@QueenLogic87 🙄🙄 "Grammar" not "Grammer"
Having finally eaten there, I can say that it was one of the best dining experiences of my life
I had my birthday dinner there last night, and it was a great experience. The steak was excellent (I had a 20oz bone-in rib chop), as was the atmosphere and service. One thing they should have touched on in the video more was the cocktail menu, which could rival many full cocktail bars. The only slight criticism is that for the sides and dessert, was the portions were very small for the price, but all delicious. If you order that Grand Rocher, make sure you get your own, it's so good you will NOT want to share it. 9/10, would absolutely go again!
As soon as a channel called “drinker” is created they’ll get to the cocktails.
Good god! how could you eat a desert after that wonderful steak??. B UK
How much was your bill for those items?
@@richmusick4881 according to their website a rib-eye is $65….
I thought the food was mediocre for the price, when I went to the Edinburgh Hawksmoore.
This man is a zen master, and this is the best advertisement for a restaurant I have ever seen. Great storytelling. I hope you continue in this direction
Paddy literally nailed a perfect medium rare on all those steaks that they tested
There's a reason they call him Paddy!
after cooking so many you can tell when theyre just just by the sear/char
Force is strong with that one.
that is his job..
When you have cooked a million steaks you start to get the hang of it lol.
Such a wonderful team leader, choosing the right people and giving them comfortable space to work and apply their own mind trusting their abilities! Need more of him in all walks of life!
The song starting at 16:05 is 'As We Go' by Raphael Aucler and Victor Belin, for those curious.
This is true dedication. Imagine managing 70 people, constantly monitoring and sourcing the best ingredients possible for 15 hours a day AND having a family.
Seems like he has good stuff, that also enjoy their work. Can be fun that way =)
If you're 15 hours a day away from home, you don't have a family, you have roomates
thsi is a pathetic and toxic business. animal are not suitable as "ingredients" for human meals red meat is accepted to cause cancer by cancer research groups such as international agency for research on cancer, red meat is a group 1 carcinogen - when you sell animal products, you sell toxicity. providing animal prodyucts to a community - damages the comminuties heath - and hurts animals too.
@@netcomsaux I almost became a vegetarian after reading your comment, but all the spelling errors made it so I'm going to keep eating poultry and pork.
@@civil_villain sure - yuo will keep eating cancer causing abused animals, lik the pathetic character you are. nothing to see here, bottom line - you are unhealthy and creepy.
I absolutely love how he makes sure everyone on his team is involved in all major decisions and makes sure that his staff knows they’re prized there. This man is what you absolutely call a damn good leader and damn good person to work for!

The standard of quality and the team they have together is really amazing. I love seeing a well run restaurant on all levels. Clients must love that place.
I have admired this video for years. I recently had the opportunity to enjoy your restaurant in Manhattan. Everything we had was flawless, including the atmosphere and service.
I just loved how he tries to improve the quality as a whole team, not single-handedly. I have seen so many videos of Chefs where they alone check the foods, judge them and mark them according to their own tastes. But here, he lets his whole team to judge and improve their own pallets of taste. That's really wonderful. It shows how much he is dedicated for his team and restaurant. Good job, mate.
it's good leadership, a kitchens only as good as it's weakest link so you need everyone working together
@@ZannNewman Absolutely.
eating animals is a poor choice for those that have the option to avoid it - and eating them causes cancer. check w.h.o - international agency for research on cancers website. processed (salted smoked etc) animal meat = "definite cause of cancer" - red meat - "probable cause of cancer" white meat " possible cause of cancer" this is the classifications
@@netcomsaux man has been eating meat for 1,000s of years.
@@ippothedestroyer1 but still - eating animals is a weak behavior and eating them causes cancer. check w.h.o - international agency for research on cancers website. processed (salted smoked etc) animal meat = "definite cause of cancer" - red meat - "probable cause of cancer" white meat " possible cause of cancer" this is the classifications your comment doesnt not adress what i typed you are just trying to argue because it upsets you.
wow! The drive and Vibe of the Kitchen is so energizing! Motivation & Passion combined is just pure MAGIC 🙌
7:30 this is definitely one of my favorite things to see as an employee in the restaurant biz.. an owner giving the reigns to the ones who run the stations and doesn't micro manage.. I love Ramsey and his style and I know a lot of it was made for TV drama and he's tough as nails but a great man all in all but I also adore the owners like this who trust their employees and doesn't micro manage their every move
Gordon Ramsay has restaurants all over the world. There's no way he doesn't trust dozens of chefs on their own
These steaks are premium and Paddy cooked them all perfectly without any fancy gadgets or thermometers. Amazing quality.
Man. The attention to detail is off the charts. I've worked in kitchens now for nearly 15 years and I've never seen or been a part of a steak testing. And then the triple cooked chips, AMAZING. Bravo. 👏👏
The only ones who tasted the steak were his chefs I didn’t see the prep cooks there
"Kitchens" That's quite a Broad term. No offense. Maybe narrow it down a Tad aye? ;)
@@JasonBlack66 kitchens: from fast food when I was 15 to fine dining in my late 20s and early 30s,cruise ships, hotels, greasy spoons... now into my 40s I advise new business owners by setting up food and drink menus by working with them on what they want. I said "kitchens" because I didn't want to type all this, but here we are. 🤷♂️😏
if we want to discuss details - i see a slice of a gmo grain fed farmed animal corpse, and "triple cooked chips" (what) made from gmo potatos disgusting + toxic nonsense
@@netcomsaux sad
Love the shout out for how good and sustainable UK farming is and those Yorkshire puddings done us proud!
I agree woth you 100%
As a Brit in Oz I am absolutely gobsmacked by your daring concept to beat the Yanks at their own game but your incredible efficiency, choice of the best cuts, and expertise won't be beaten when you can offer YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS AND GRAVY! No one else can beat THAT!
Any time I think about how fun it would be to open a restaurant, I see something like this. It is so much work, I don't think I could maintain the dedication to it.
You know, every time this guy starts to come off as slightly pretentious, he counters it by being totally down to earth and humble. Seems like a cool dude
agreed
I can't remember watching a food video, and saying "Wow" every couple minutes. I love everything about this restaurant...from the people to the food and to the atmosphere. I checked out their website, menu and prices after I watched this. Very reasonable, given all the quality that you get! Fantastic!!
Dipping the meat balls in chocolate, then adding nuts to those ballsacks, and finally gilding them in gold leaf. I bet you would enjoy those in your mouth.
I was actually saying "where are the Mexicans?" Every couple minutes.. until they finally came out in the background.. they're the real mvp
What would it take to get you there, so you can enjoy service?
This is an excellent Chef who gives praise to his team and really understands. He would be lovely to work for.
Great to see Hawksmoor expand across the Atlantic, a great product and experience. One of my favourites in London.
What an incredible Chef. He has his team so dialed in and engaged. I have no doubt things can get heated and hectic at peak service time, but what a pro he is. The food looks delicious. Well done Chef.
He seems like a good dude.
I LOVE A BOSS that doesn't mind getting in on the action, instead of being a big mouth that bosses people around! Plus I love his compliments to the staff! Team work at its finest!!
What a story of commitment to perfection! To consistently do this day in-day out, night in-night out, week after week, month after month, year after year...very impressive, I must say!
my favorite thing at Hawkmoor, at least in the UK is the grilled bone marrow, so delicious.
The true amount of coordination, production and attention to detail in this environment is remarkable -- and to do it this well EVERY single day is fantastic. What a well oiled machine of perfection. Loved this view! Thanks
Total RESPECT to the staff and Chef…so much prep and work; like a performance every night.
Mindblowing works and preparation that goes behind the scene of the service of the retaurant. Hats off to the team. Can’t imagine doing it on a daily basis.
interesting to know if they actually make money for all the hours they put in. how much x hour of work I mean?
What an incredible chef and LEADER. His staff would go all out for him.
I was a regular at the original Hawksmoor in Spitalfields, London...around 2010 I'd say...I'm amazed how far they have come but not surprised. Great place and fantastic wines.
My mate got married in Hawksmoor in Spitalfields! Best wedding I've ever been to. He also had part of his stag do there
wow thats such an amazing experience!
@@1815matt I bet it was. They do weddings too, who knew?
What did Paddy call the "bone in strip" that head chef said was his favorite? Also Paddy said favorite "of the three" was bone in strip But does that mean he Other of the Three likes better? I'm surprised ribeyes were never mentioned
@@hfactor6429 He said "strip on the bone" but in the UK we call it a wing rib, ribeyes are cut further forward.
The amount of work they put in each day to satisfy their guests is amazing. Much respect!
Awesome to watch your team and you manage everything so professionally and I love the charcoal grill! Amazing work!
This is the sort of walker that makes me not to work in the hospitality industry…
do you have vegan/vegetarian dishes too? :)
This is amazing, showed you how much work needed to put final product on table. Bravo.
Love seeing how a high-end restaurant kitchen works, was glued to this from start to finish. Everything looked so good. Great workflow they have.
This was beautiful. Thank you for this one. He's a master of his craft and it was an honor.
Watched this video multiple times and finally learned how to replicate that Steak Tartare recipe at home...absolute heaven!
Great breakdown tutorial on the various beef cuts. These guys truly know their stuff; and it shows....
I just checked the menu an honestly for the amount of food they give the price is spot on. Nothing crazy at all definitely affordable for a celebration or special occasion dinner. Will definitely be checking this out
How much for a regular steak and baked potato? I’m not paying more than $30.

@@ronburgundysmustache6717 thanks! It’s higher than most places but not something way out of the range. It would be interesting if this place is still around a few years from now. A lot of overhead and relies a lot on hiring the right people. I mean how many years can that French fry maker really like doing his job daily before he just quits lol?
@@ronburgundysmustache6717 Id probably get the filet with 1 side and a water and spend $80 for myself. I guess a good place for an anniversary date or something. Definitely not taking first dates here haha!
I've eaten at Hawksmoore before.. It was great. Now I want to go again after watching this. So much respect for what goes on behind the scenes.
That yes chef at the end truly shows the staff commitment to the joint. Awesome team!
Wow Wow Wow. This is incredible and the amount of effort that goes into this. I am especially amazed how they get that beautiful crust on steaks with a grill!! Truly Spectacular!!!!!
Great video. Absolutely love Hawksmoor here in UK. And it seems like the superb dining experience translates very well across the pond. Well done, guys!
The passion this guy infact the team shows and give to this establishment is unrivalled !!!!!Wow truly inspirational plus my mouth is actually watering this place is special just like the food!!!All the very best from Scotland 👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴👍🏻🏴
This is one of the best run kitchens I’ve ever seen. A true concert of perfection
I love the passion here from everyone, so inspiring
Phenomenal video allowing us viewers a rare look at the demands and rigors of working at such a high level day in and day out. Sincere respect to the kitchen staff.
Brillant Restaurant. Glad to see it’s being so well received in the US. They deserve it. The epitome of what a restaurant should be.
Watching videos like these really makes me appreciate restaurant workers like way more.
Really enjoyed this: great insight and respect for how a professional kitchen operates. Well done everybody.
Great job Chef! I'm a retired Chef here in Hawaii and I miss the camaraderie of a well trained kitchen crew! Aloha from Hawaii 😁🤙🏽
If you are wealthy, fine dining is a cheap pleasure in their economy of scale. This is a restaurant I would enjoy. Thank you eater for showcasing another wonderful culinary experience.
are you?
@@vmvm949 no but when you can spend $100 at olive garden or $300 here. Which do you think is a better bang for your $$$.
You don't need to be wealthy How about saving up for 4 weeks. Put a little a side each week till you have enough
@@knackerbags5994 your absolutely right. It's economy of scale. If you make $200 an hour this is affordable. It's 2 hours of work. If you make $20 an hour it's 10 hours of work. It's all where you are in the food chain. It's obvious everyone is welcome. That's very important to me.
@@thereissomecoolstuff for me, this is a “special occasion” restaurant, not a daily eat. I would LOVE eating here on my birthday
This is an impressive operation, where the leader and team display an absolute fanaticism about quality. Makes me want to eat there!
I started my culinary career in a steakhouse. Learned a lot there and it served me well over the decades. Good food and the place to learn the skills to get ahead!
What an outstanding group of dedicated and professional individuals. And also a prime example of a head chef that leads by example.
There's just something about the restaurant business that makes it such an enjoyable place to work. You "go to battle" against the dinner rush of people together day in and day out and have each other's backs through it all. This looks like a great team of people, which leads to great food and a great experience. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the exceptional care and passion in your work. You truly love what you are doing and it shows and with each person under your employment. Passion is paramount to achieve these end results. And having a well stocked reservation book is good for the local economy. Well done!
Wow, these were 20 fascinating minutes. I was hooked from the get-go and stayed watching until the last second, really great stuff!
Been to a hawksmoor in London and can say it’s one of the best steaks I’ve had
What a tight, massive and well ran operation this is: No room for error, top end quality, whole team truly dedicated.. They know what they are doing and I would not be surprised if they were awarded a star.
the whole process is such a dedicated effort, each staff is highly skilled, and they sorted out each department so nicely, if you are paying premium for this place, you are getting equivalent value. id love to try their steaks someday
The "YES CHEF!!!" at the end of service sounds like a "Hai Sensei!" or "Yes Drill Sergeant!". An absolute, elegant beast of a restaurant!
It absolutely amazes me with the time and dedication put into a kitchen for a tables 1-2 hour dinner. Goes so unappreciated. Incredible video!
These day in a life of a restaurant kinda videos are just so great to watch the amount of learning truly amazing.
amazing to see how they orchestrate every detail.
Looks absolutely delicious, and the passion is overwhelming
13:20 This potted beef must be a whole lot more than just "sustainable"; it has to be delicious too. What an admirable way to treat meat. And the end result is amazing food. I loved that the butcher said he liked the porterhouse the least, in England, meat connoisseurs refer to porterhouse as -" 1970s sarurday night out steak".
I've eaten the potted beef, and it is very nice indeed.
I want to try the potted beef urgently !
that was one of the best looking dishes in the video.

What a great guy. You can tell everyone respect him there. I just felt goosebumps watching this ep. Now I wanna go there when I land in NY
The amount of preparation that goes into the service, BEFORE the service even begins, is amazing!
Love the video!! Beyond proud of Chef Matt and the team, they really have something special going on in Hawksmoor
Gotta respect his leadership style! As someone who’s been in management for 20 years I definitely always checked in with all my fellow employees set up the mood for the team listen and care.
I love how from day 1 there is just one guy for the fries/chips. Even if you have just one job, you do it so well that it becomes perfect.
I never knew how much work goes into getting our food to the table. It was very interesting seeing the behind the scenes action. Thank you.
Props to the Executive and every one working alongside him, 15 hour days in an often gruelling, thankless environment. Much Respect.
Very true
Dude...the attention to the fire in the grill....love that.
Just absolutely loved everything about this piece
Amazing! I worked in high end restaurants and these folks are real professionals. Love this video.
I love this series and every restaurant I’ve been introduced to from it. Can’t wait to try some Hawksmoor with the special lady next time we’re in town!
Love the environment that they created for the team they made a happy place to go to work everyday. Very organized and very professional. Don’t mind spend $$$$ for the place like this.
Looks amazing. Will definitely be visiting. Exhausted just watching these guys work that long day. Wow.
This channel is KILLING it with quality content.
Great to watch. I've been fortunate to eat at Hawksmoor in London and the steak didn't disappoint to say the least. Amazing to see everything that goes on behind the scenes.
Amazing the craft and the passion that all put in and the checking of what they serve, I bet it worths every dollar to eat at this place.
That "Yes Chef!" at the end gets me pumped up every time
The food looks amazing and the staff extremely professional!! WOW, would love to visit this restaurant!!!
Nice to see them give rump it's due, it's popular here in New Zealand, and British chefs rate it, but it seems unknown in America. It's not as tender as the more popular American cuts, but has such incredible flavour.
I'm in awe of this place
Wow! Unbelievable how everyone works so hard, coordinated, and very professional. No slack for this crew! Impressive.
