What always amazes me about your POV videos, both for the kitchen and bar, is how unrushed it all feels. You guys are crazy busy, and you're completing orders to match, but at no point does it feel like you're in a serious hurry to do anything. It demonstrates really impressive technical and logistical skill to make that level of productivity appear so casual.

@seanhettenbach2101 10 ай бұрын

It really is about confidence and leadership though. If you have a chef that's constantly stressing out the kitchen with stress calls, then the kitchen loses confidence. The kitchen staff feel rushed and then they get demoralized. But as you see here, even when someone overcooked a plate, the chef simply said "fire another one." And that was that. No condescending attitude, no harsh tone, and not a word of disappointment or disapproval in the other chef's skills or abilities. Just straight forward constructive criticism on a mistake made and that's that. The kitchen moves at the pace of the chef, and vice versa. It's a synchronicity and this crew has it.

@@seanhettenbach2101 Exactly right. We all love watching Gordon Ramsay and Hell's Kitchen and whatnot but that's not what you want in your kitchen. You don't want a chef stressing out the rest of the kitchen. You want your chef to be a level-headed leader and the best way to show that is maintaining composure when things get busy.

With any job making mistakes can be scary because you may not know the leadership style, and it can truly ruin you with anxiety of failing!!. Thank you for teaching and showing him in a way that wasn't babying but in a way as if to say I know you can do it, you got this. :) x

@DisDatK9 5 ай бұрын

Its the que of a great leader. Sometimes telling someone they are not performing up to par is necessary, but a great leader distinguishes between an honest mistake and a dumb mistake. They're dealt with very differently. Taking the time to empower members of your team and teach them is SO important, but if there was the case of someone making a mistake because they weren't paying attention over multiple times or werent listening consistently there are steps that need to be taken. It just should never be straight to the meanness, it should be approached always with the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. I think a lot of leaders fail to recognize the importance of patience and consideration for their teams performance. Also many dont recognize the need for self-reflection if the team is underperforming.

Anyone else put off by the spoon? He kept eating from it and chucking it back in that mini sink with slow running water, then picking it back up using it again chucking it back in, then used it to serve a sauce on someone's food, it got dunked into loads of different things and at no point was it washed properly.

@alexandernewman3555 5 ай бұрын

I agree. While I very much respect the consistency provided by tasting food all night, I always kept a separate container of plastic spoons for this exact purpose. These guys do a fantastic job and I certainly don’t want to take away from anything, but I also notice that the garnish for several dishes are inconsistent. He sells a Cod head earlier with only the red sauce on it, but later he garnishes with sauce and a small green squirt bottle. I didn’t see anything on the ticket or callout that would indicate the difference, and my brain can’t help but notice that same sort of change in garnish that I see on a lot of the same dishes.

I'm 54, just had quadruple bypass, and have arthritis in my ankles, so no more kitchen for me unfortunately, but I now teach students and help restaurant businesses where needed.

This is fantastic to watch, huge thanks @Fallow for doing this. Your work ethos is golden, particularly how you help and encourage other members of this brilliant team. Keep them coming. Subbed. Interestingly (light-heartedly :) though with a good level of truth), while watching several videos and my own experience as a customer in various restaurants over the years, one of the most important ingredients to so many dishes is...the sauce! particularly the sauce that's creatively poured over meats etc (and into the little sauce jugs). --> While it does happen(obviously), the %age of folk who will happily eat with no sauce is vastly outnumbered by those who 'need' a sauce, so.... I'm going to open a restaurant myself, and I'm going to call it "Saucy". The primary component will be.....sauce. I think I'm on to a winner ;)
