    I worked pastry stations in a couple Michelin restaurants. This chef is more of a boss than people probably realize. He’s making it look chill. It is not.
  • @markkevnjflores
    happy to see filipino’s thriving in america doing what they love
  • @AnnapolisGirly
    I am so impressed by this young chef. Please bring him back again!
  • @stomp21
    I've worked in a few high-octane Michelin star restaurants, the team can be very talented but if you don't have a familial relationship then you slowly start regretting your time there. When people are like the ones in this video, the feeling you have every day is amazing, knowing that everyone is an extension of each other.
  • @heizecherie6518
    he is so calm and so humble, loves to explore and still wants to learn 😮😮 the restaurant has found a gem like this guy
  • @annaszeto8081
    He is so talented...showcase more pastry chefs please!
  • @Philastan
    What a sympathetic and talented chef! Those shots of the small details he does, while preparing the food, are really showing his skill. Also things like, when he asked his colleague what she would rather do, is so refreshing. I bet working in this team must be so enjoyable!
  • @Yosirhellothere
    my favourite part is where he says, you can tell when a peach is ripe when you smell it and it smells like a ripe peach
  • @seanhuff3868
    It shows he actually cares about his team to make their birthday cakes!
  • I like his positive vibe and willingness to learn and step out of his comfort zone. More of this guy please.

    “Today’s Paul’s birthday so we’re making him a cake” 😭
  • @TohirT
    Kitchen staff are one of the least renowned hard workers in any industry. I have so much respect for what it takes to deliver that Michelin star service!

    I wanted to be a pastry chef when I was a kid. It looks like Mac has so much fun at his job.

    Eater made a doc about the owner of the restaurant aswell, if you were curious about the seafood side of the restaurant. It's called: "How One of LA's Best Chefs Runs a Two-Michelin-Star Wild Fish Restaurant — Mise En Place".
