Munchies: Battersby

Рет қаралды 593,049

Күн бұрын

The chef-owners of Battersby, the intimate brooklyn eatery, take their jobs very seriously. They also take drinking Fernet Branca very seriously. In this episode of Munchies, these two gentlemen grabbed their sous chef Mike Sowa and headed to Henry Public and then Brooklyn Social to show us that if you cook at a very high level, you need to enjoy your time off.

back when 'chef's night out' was simply called 'munchies' .. mind blown

What's with all the hatred? They honestly seem like a bunch of chill dudes and look like they get along with each other pretty well, considering they probably spend upwards of 65+ hrs a week with each other in the kitchen.

@sometimesoonfan 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, seem like chill dudes just trying to cook some good food and trying to have some fun on the side lol ...people hate just to hate.

I'd have to say that my favorite part of the show is that they always get so toasted and then have to cook for a whole buncha people.

@stevenkelley9091 7 жыл бұрын

These dudes fucking rule, most chefs don't have the determination to just go in an open up a spot like that. Awesome to see they are still around and making killer food.

I love these so much. Great chefs talking intimately about food. Then going out to other places they like to eat and maybe getting drunk in the process. Finally back to their restaurant to make a munchies dish. Just a perfect concept. I'll never get tired of these. You'll run out of chefs to interview first.

I say thank God for the hipsters. While I'll never quite understand the "cool" of tats & piercings...old fart that I am--these chefs are so creative. I'm convinced we are in a golden age of food ingredients & the culinary arts.

@hushlittlebaby3251 7 жыл бұрын

I don't understand this hate. all these insults are just outlandish and petty. they're making a living off of what they studied for, made something of the time and effort they've put into their craft, and are proud of their work. calm down, guys, jeez. this is hardly the worst bunch of guys in the munchies series.

@CheezyKnob 11 жыл бұрын

I agree with your point here, however the video is called 'A Night Out with Brooklyn restaurant owners', so thats what its expected to be about. The start was merely the documented guys briefly explaining their occupations and commitments, before the main event, which is their night out.

Fernet Branca popular with chefs/restaurant workers. They were drinking it pre-meal @ 4:58 mark but it's considered a digestif. But I suppose no rules apply & it does depend a bit on what you're mixing it with.

Every hipster in town seems to love ordering that shit, like honestly every time they order it its like "Fernet?....shit if i don't have 2 bottles of Fernet of an evening then you can plain chalk that up to one shit night"

This is actually the crossover point of gentrification, it goes working class denizens -> artsy hipsters -> upper class, plastic cookie cutter people. Rinse & Repeat. I used to get angry at gentrification, but it is inevitable. On another note, all that food looked awesome!

Stop commenting and criticizing these chefs. Unless you actively work in a restaurant and understand all the hard work involved, then don't say shit. Chef's have historically been the outcasts, losers and rejects, working their asses off, missing holidays, birthdays, even weddings.

Ok, but there are only so many times that Vice can find people and places like those and go to them. It's not as easy as it looks and those types of docs probably involve a lot of planning, money and not to mention risking the safety of the crew and host. Try to be thankful that Vice can find the time to make these smaller episodes in between the big high-profile ones.

The asparagus isn't the focus of the dish, the morels are. And though I don't know the price on that dish, I can say that that is a generous portion of morels, and the rest of the dish is high-technique. This is for people with disposable income. The same way you'd shell out a couple more bucks for something that isn't a can of PBR, you'd shell out a couple more bucks for something that isn't flat-top mushrooms on microwaved rice.
