Munchies: Cal Elliott

Рет қаралды 266,157

11 жыл бұрын

Rye's decor could be described as "prohibition chic" with cocktails to match, and food that one could call "fucking amazing." All of this is the product of Cal Elliott, Rye's chef/owner. Cal's persona is Peter Pan meets Rip Torn, with a penchant for the Mother Sauces. When not getting drunk at his own restaurant after the night's service, Cal likes to head to neighboring restaurant Samurai Mama for Udon noodles and Jameson shots. In this episode of Munchies, Cal attempts to make braised short rib grilled cheeses with Taleggio and frisee after having the equivalent of 10 shots of whiskey.

Something about Cal is soo refreshing; his attitude, approach, and outlook are genuine and it shows.

@maggietweedie1160 9 жыл бұрын

Chris Mcquade i totally agree man, beautiful approach. Rye is definitely on the to do list

@Verilious 10 жыл бұрын

Cal is the real deal. Dude doesn't talk any bullshit, cooks good as fuck food, and gets completely smashed by the end of the night like a true Munchies chef. What a savage.

@groupjapan 9 жыл бұрын

this guy is great, he seems like a legitimately good guy, and i'm so glad for him that he gets to pursue his passion as a career, but i also feel sad for him because he doesn't really get to enjoy himself like he did this day. Like in the beginning of the episode he looked so damn exhausted as if he hadn't slept for a year. Hope things get a little easier for him.

Been working for chef as a server for years. Best boss I could ever ask for. Generous and a hard worker and treats us very well. Shoutout to the Avery Hotel in Boise Idaho!

He's finally got a Michelin Star, too! SO well deserved, and probably overdue to boot! I saw this episode when it came out, and revisited it from time to time, for inspiration. No one seems more deserving than Chef Cal! Never worked for him, but I can tell he has a heart of gold, just from this alone. Love, from Texas ❤

@BrokenRRT 11 жыл бұрын

One of the better Munchies I've watched! Wish it was little longer! The story of how the chef got to where he is, his style of good American food with his ideology of something enjoyable at everyone's price range is why they are successful! They are true to their restaurant because they are real! Not some cocky hipsters that think their cool because they have a tattoo of carrot on their arm and own a food joint in New York! Down to earth hard working men and women! Wish I lived closer!

Agent Orange ..it's never too late, due to the fact that dudes two friends - who probably do go out much, paced themselves and handled their shit, while dude got smashed to the point where his friend said "remember you still have to cook", along with the fact dude has a great opportunity to showcase his restaurant and his skills to a massive audience, a once in a lifetime opportunity and he gets drunk to the point of being totally obnoxious and burns a grilled cheese sandwich, to me, shows that he does not go out much, in my opinion.
