How One of New York’s Best Chefs Runs His High Volume Michelin-Starred Restaurant — Mise En Place

I've been a kitchen porter / dishwasher now for the last 4 years and I've recently been given the opportunity from the owner and the Head Chef to go to culinary school and learn to become a Chef for them. I love watching these videos to see the different ways everything can be done!

Love how positive he is to the staff, when they smile, I start to smile

As a UK-based Chef, I'm always interested in what happens in kitchens elsewhere and find this channel and the Mise En Place series to be an absolute joy to watch. Some of them I've watched multiple times and often share with colleagues who I know would appreciate seeing the passion on these peoples faces and the absolute bangers that leave the pass. This was an uplifting wee look at a great kitchen setup, staffed by people that enjoy what they do - I've worked with many Chefs that simply don't care, which is sad, as it is reflected in the food we serve. This is definitely one of the vids I watch multiple times! Cheers for this!

i was just so happy when he said, "we have all our ducks in a row"

This is a level 5 leader. Warms my heart watching him let his team shine.

I love when the head chef highlights and compliments there staff in these kind of videos, when it’s easy for them to take the spotlight. Seems like a solid dude and makes me want to go to the restaurant even more!

If this chef is like this in real life, I hope he inspires his staff to be cool and collected and appreciative as well. Fantastic. I love what he says at the end too: "Everyone goes to a fine dining restaurant once. Here, I have people coming back sometimes once a week" I looked at the menu, you don't have to be rich to try it out, but you could take your sweetie there for a snack to impress them. Really cool.

Thumbs up to the head chef for complimenting his staff the way he does. It shows that he knows and appreciates what & how they do their jobs. He places his trust in them. Good video! Nice pace, visuals and information. Good job altogether 👏🏻

This is my favorite restaurant. The elation I felt when I first saw the duck presented to me on a bed of flowers will never be forgotten. It’s just so beautiful!!!! This video didn’t even cover the amazing cheese cart and desserts they have too.

That was one of the most interesting set of pasta dishes I have seen and as good as the duck looks, I think the pasta looks just as good if not better.

what an amazing chef....I bet all his employees love him!

"I'm in the business of making people happy. ...That's why we're an open kitchen, so we can watch everybody be happy and having good time." I get that.. the best feeling after a rush was the silence in the dining room as everyone's speechless eating their food. Those are the quickest cleanups and the best way to enter a turnaround

I applaud the sense of purpose and equality in the kitchen. "I'm in the business of making people happy" - that's his "recipe" for success. I've seen a lot of corporate-powered restaurants portrayed on YouTube and you can tell the difference in just seconds. The money will come, but you have to put passion, teamwork and great ingredients together first. Money doesn't buy those things.

The Artist chef. Mastery and craftmanship on display. Excellent leader who allows all his staff shine. They all feel ownership and responsible for their work.

I feel blessed having had dinner there with my wife earlier in April this year. The crew's spirit seems to add flavour to the already heavenly tasting dishes. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! Trust me when I say it's worth more then what you pay.

I love the respect they give to the duck!

What a wonderful video! I have a lot of respect for the people who grow, create, prepare, and serve our food. This establishment would be a joy to experience.

"we have all our ducks in a row" 😆😆😆😆

I really like this chef's style of leadership! Also, that salad is just wow!

That salad and duck. And pastas. And staff. Wow!
