    Inspiring story of Seth Rogan making it as a Michelin starred chef, 10/10.
  • @Joonyyyyyy
    I have always found it hysterical how truffle purchases, even at this level of culinary excellence, still end up looking like a high-schooler buying pot from their local dealer.
  • @cbockiii2514
    This guys is awesome. No stupid buzzwords, just an immaculate kitchen full of ingredients that he knows the life story of and artist chefs. We don't have places like this in Michigan, you guys are lucky.
  • @user-pk9jn8ld3r
    His passion for his profession is astonishing. 17 years of running that restaurant and he still has the drive. Amazing
  • @HskHeroReborn
    When people roll with you for years says a lot about the quality of the leader. Awesome work Chef
  • @Deezhan
    The chef doesn't look or sound like a psychopath like I'am used to seeing in these high-end places. He sounds kind-hearted and like he is easy to work with.
  • @user-ev2hx8zg2p
    I appreciate how Chef includes his team with demonstration/explanations.. Crazy how chefs can make cooking look so easy, respect the hustle!.

    In Australia the bay i live near we call those fish snapper and when we get out fishing we can fill our eskys with them and they are 80cm plus in size !
  • @alexmartin8003
    Man those plates of food look exceptional. The precision and care that goes into each dish... scallops stuffed with black truffle, wow. Dude's been working for Chef for 17 years - says it all. Just when you think you've seen the best episode of Mise En Place the next one is uploaded, please don't stop.

    This man during the pandemic made some of the most incredible take home meals I've ever had; he's literally brilliant, creative, and has such a mastery over these flavors. Love this dude.
  • I have been in this industry for 15 years. Worked in New York city and Philadelphia. I love being humbled by teams and Chefs like this. He is talking about the food and the processes and ingredients with so much passion and knowledge. We could study culinary arts our whole lives and not scratch the surface.
  • As a chef of 23 years, this guy's work literally brought a tear of joy to my eye. Truly amazing dedication. The word incredible is insufficient. Bravo.
  • I do like that he actually does something with truffles other then shave them ontop of a dish. Same goes for a spoonfull of caviar. Sure its decadent, but it feels boring to me. He actually uses the ingredients.

    John C. Riley, truly a man of talent. I had no idea he took breaks from his acting career to be a two star chef.😂
  • @almVancouver
    I appreciate how Chef includes his team with demonstration/explanations.
  • @leopoldroze5703
    As a Chef this is hands down the best show on youtube, keep them coming!
  • @Sammantha-bf7bl
    I really like that this chef didn’t just care about the title he just truly loves the art of cooking. Best chef I’ve seen to date!!!
  • @russellb4510
    I first met Michael when I was a regular at the Water Grill in DTLA. He would come by and sit at our booth and chat like an old friend. Super talented and still as humble as when I first met him. Deserves all the accolades he gets. BTW, a twelve course dinner for two with wine selections at Providence will set you back around $1,200 but, it will be the best meal you have ever had.
  • The amount of commitment and focus this chef shows to his craft is Astounding!
