Literally the movie "The Menu"

@@LemonyLemonOfficial Sorry, haven't watched the movie and probably never will. Too scared to watch horror films or anything scary.

That was brilliantly stated! And I’m still reeling from that movie “the menu!”

@@SaiHikawa its a thriller not a horror btw, and as someone who is also frightened to bits by any media horror related i would definitely give this a watch

@@SaiHikawa it isn't a horror film

Yeah I thought this would be far more tbh.

Yea. Seems reasonable enough with the amount of prep, manpower, and creativity to push out 50 dishes times the number of people like clockwork. Still, 7 hours is fucking long and this looks mentally exhausting from the lighting change to the processing of what the fuck just arrived.

they only fed them foods rich in nutrients and minerals that promote blood production , then tried to talk them into donating

@@thunderborn3231 are you agreeing or disagreeing?

@@alpha_9997 wild concept on the internet i know, but that statement is neutral

Ooh that sounds really cool. Could have been part of the menu

Lmao

😂

Upon entry, your group is asked to stand in a waiting room. Strange you think, the room is made entirely from metal. Some time goes by, you start to feel dizzy. The doors open, you and your friends stumble out into the dining room, where the host explains that the room you have all been waiting in is highly radioactive and that you have received a lethal dose of radiation poisoning. The host proceeds to inform you and the group that they have everything you and your friends need to survive, Potassium iodide, Prussian blue and Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid. The only thing you need to do to get these counteractives to radiation poisoning, is sit through their 50 course meal where they have hidden the treatment in the ingredients used to make the food. The meals start off normal... unassuming. Slowly, the dishes begin to become increasingly intricate and challenging to your values. At the end of the 49th course, the host explains that everyone has gotten half of the dosage required to leave unharmed. The other half resides within the 50th dish. 4 Chefs wheel out a large metal tray on wheels. They each hold a corner of the lid, lifting it to reveal a whole cooked human, stuffed with an apple in their mouth like a pig. Opportunities for plot inclusions: 1. You are there with a Vegan friend who weeps as they force themself to eat a live octopus. 2. One of your friends dies during course, because they were forced to eat something they were allergic to. Your friend ends up being the final dish. Enjoy

That’s actually genius

Accurate. The only people impressed by this are lower/middle class folks. I don’t need a contrived liberal agenda with my meal thanks.

Exactly just dumb really

Duuuuuuude, it’s called 1984 and get this….. it’s an EYEBALL. Art.

Of course ! It’s a business after all. The art statements are simply a way to make the consumers feel entertained and “informed” .

It's just a bit of fun. If I could afford it I'd love to go

Better to not pissoff the head chef then

the menu is based on these, so yeah it should

Yessssss

Yes!!

It's sad they care about certain things like blood and environment, yet serving dead bodies and carcass

Yess😭

Exactly

Yep death at the end unless you want a real cheeseburger!

Omg yes

more like the menu has an alchemist vibe, its almost like the menu is styled after fine dining experiences.

All synonyms for pretentious

@@duquem0421definitely not, most of us won’t ever be able to afford it in our lifetimes and for a hungry man, it might not even be worth it. But it doesn’t appeal to hungry men and it doesn’t try to cover what it is. It is something elitist yes but if you have money to spend, it might not be wasted here

Yeah I find that too ironic too

its ethical foie gras sourced from spain

​@@Protogenoidhow can it be ethical? They have to be forced fed to obesity to make it.

@@jessicahay9305 dude it’s so easy to look something up, but since you are so lazy I will copy and paste it for you “ethical foie gras production which leverage modern technology to replicate the smoothness of fattened livers.”

@@jessicahay9305that was the 90’s and a ton of places outlaw the sale of force fed goose liver. They use duck more often now and they don’t force feed them anymore. They give them access to as much food as they want and the animal decides when to eat and not eat. Google is really easy to use and usually more accurate than your redneck parents who told you about force fed geese.

The food and some of the presentation are surely sensational. If only they would let go of permanently reminding you how bad the world outside is and what you should do to make it better.

​@@einundsiebenziger5488 I don't know- surely you'd want a 1000 dollar audiosensory day trip to make you think? If it was a feel-good escape you wanted, you could just spend a whole day at a high-end soul food place and schmoose around for a fraction of the price.

@@JK-zd3md I would spend this much for a multiple-course meal, and I also enjoy the stories around the food and some entertainment. But I want to consider it a given that the restaurant serves responsibly sourced food and doesn't create plastic waste, and not be surrounded by a fake chicken concentration camp while eating my chicken.

​@@einundsiebenziger5488 so that you can ignore the real life "concentration camps" for chickens?

​@@einundsiebenziger5488 living in your ignorance is the bliss that's gonna doom everyone else

Hope u feel better ❤

Kinds had the same feeling while watching this. Also in a similar mind frame where things can be really great, let feel like the world crashing down

I’d say you’re one of the most together commenters at this freak scene. Peace and God bless Lisa

this is so dumb. for 1000$ you might as well stay home and watch PETA videos on acid while eating chicken nuggets and you'll have the same experience for 20$ haha

It's just some virtue signalling sheltered westerners. You can simply disregard their opinion as naive and laugh.

I agree; it feels like the criticisms they are trying to make are hollow when they are guilty of the same decadence and wastefulness. I would also have a hard time eating meat while viewing all that unpleasant imagery around me. I'm a pescatarian and often feel bad at times for eating seafood, so I can't imagine enjoying chicken meat or the like with visuals of caged animals and birds hanging from their necks. It's almost like they are shoving the point they are trying to make in your face. It's not subtle, it's not deep, it's blatant and hypocritical.

@@pinkiepie6880 Oui et le gars qui présente la chose a l'air tellement content de lui ! Tout ce petit monde mériterait d'être lâché en parachute dans une zone de guerre où les gens n'ont plus rien à manger...Et dire que le "génie" de la restauration a obtenu soit disant deux étoiles au Michelin ??? Honte à Michelin !!! Boycott de ce guide vendu à la solde d'imbéciles décadents. Bref... à vomir de dégoût.

Yeah like what in the hypocrisy?

I think the hypocrisy is an intentional element

@Legs The Snivy eh the chicken and fois gras were different courses so I think it was just hypocritical

Yeah it's almost like Satan is celebrating the calamity of the Earth....🎉

@@LegsTheSnivy they source a sustainable and ethical foie gras from Spain actually where the geese run free and live a good healthy lifestyle

They dont gaf

I get your point. wouldn't it be good to try and make rich people, by shocking them in this way so that they, might become more aware of the realities that happen outside of their world. because in the end they are the ones who have the most power to bring big changes or to fund people who can make big changes.

Exactly

@@charles826 maybe we should just eat them

Youd have to be extremely stubborn or asleep to not perceive the experience as intended in its bare minimum. Its pretty visual heavy. You get what they mean when they show you an eyeball.

its typical leftist yuppie elitism, they dont want people who cant afford not to but the rich morons who produce 200 times more carbon than a normal person is the one that shouldnt have to cut back and eat ze bugs like the peasants.

Yes, used in the interior decoration not out on the street

Most if not all people use so much plastic in their daily lives, what’s stopping this restaurant (or any other restaurant) from doing the same? At least they’re actually bringing something to the conversation using food as a medium, really creative on their part

its ebil

For 1000 learning about world issues you can save a family from poverty and help them start a business

I agree.....ppl are getn a bargain!!

I'd even spend the 1000 €/$/£ for a fifth of the courses and half the duration of the event, if they just would not bother you with their non-stop attempt to deliver this "the world is bad, but let's make you a better person" message. The latter I can have for free at any given PETA membership rally.

​@@eveali3177 Ew. Go do that yourself. Real genorous with other people's money.

@@eveali3177 bro stfu

Thanks so much! Honestly one of the biggest compliments I could get :) Glad you enjoyed!

there are some reasonably priced restaurants with michelin stars.

1star Michelin is not expensive at all. Noma and Alchemist are on another level

I mean if you joined the army or the navy you can definitely eat there

There are a handful of michelin starred restaurants that cost $30-50 USD per meal.

$1000 yes would be alot for one meal but for the amount you get here its actually pretty affordable, a phone or pair of shoes could cost the same.

Why exactly would they not be already aware of those issues? Also, 1k is a lot, but nowhere near "rich" territory. Some broke people spend more on a bag.

There are quite some misconception surrounding wealth... wealthy people are aware of social issues, they just never have to experience the negative impacts first hand, making it impossible for them to empathise. A demonstration like this can only cast two effects; either these people walk out feeling so reinvented and woke that they start to look at price tags or talk about a greater purpose - or they shrug and say, well that was weird. To me this restaurant crossed a certain line. I am a huge fan of culinary arts; I do not think fine dining and hospitality is pretentious at all but this is dystopian. It is a large scale agony simulator for the fortunate, which imo is absolutely brutal.

Rich people do read the news 🤣

This isn't luxury. This is pretentious, over-extended on credit cards, upper middle class garbage. This nonsense makes them out of touch with the rich they aspire to be and the poor that they stick their nose up to.

Lol micro plastics affect everyone, fortunately or unfortunately

Rich people aren't going to a place this tacky. Real rich people don't even buy luxery clothes brands because they're reminded of the desperation of the unwealthy.

@@miaomiaou_ Yeah but if you're a billionaire you can pay to like... siphon your tainted blood out and replace it with the blood of baby orphans or something.

@@rahhmennoodles338 Rich people have banquets behind closed doors, laughing at the fact stuff like this exists and reviling their ownership of the land, this clown show is renting out.

Usually it’s money that solves issues

Høst (Harvest) in Copenhagen also have different many course+surprises menu´s with accompanying wine. Easier to get a seat and prices vary after selections but to reach 1000 you need to go bonkers on the wine. Much less will still give a really good and unique experience. Alchemist are on my list but I have not been able to get a reservation for my open slots. I am trying the cancellations list once in a while until I succeed. But also have to be with someone so a lot to coordinate for a slim chance. I have been to NOMA several times and I do not know if you have tried it but this year are last chance. at least for their permanent restaurant. If you have not you def. should. 3 season menus left whereof 1 are veggie so time to act are now. Since it have been published they will close seats will not be easy to get. They will create a food lab based on the one they have now to see if they can invent great food and flavors"for the masses" or maybe just their restaurants, we will see. Maybe they will make some pop up events to test their lab´s creations on "real people". Time will show what Rene Redzepi do, but I am sure it will be worthwhile.

How do you manage to get a ticket so often?! 😂 - please tell me the secret!!!

Can you take me with next time bro

I got 7 dollars and a gum wrapper, could I give you that and you bring me with you next time?

oh so you're the guy the chef literally hates in "the menu"

Bring me a box of leftovers to reheat. Ask for a Sprite too. Glass bottle - Made in Mexico preferably.

there are a few, but i wish we had more! and definitely not too many in the US

@@ligier which ones are in the u.s

that’s fair! personally i think at that price food alone is never going to be worth it so i appreciate the experience around it but there are plenty of restaurants that have amazing food at lower price points :)

Agreed

If $1000 is your life savings, you should not be dining at a restaurant like this

I actually love the environmental message they're trying to tell. Not that I'd eat there

@@dandanthedandan7558 They're not trying to tell anything. It's just that environmental propaganda is fashionable.

1000 ain't a lot save up for it

This place will be closed and the business venture done and done, before you get there in life.

@@joefer5360 True, I can't seem to make it and I'll be dead soon anyways. The rich can have their rich hobbies to themselves I suppose.

right?

yes, but the themes in 1984 are ultra relevant to data privacy - the point of books is to thematically tell us about society that we can apply to our current lives

​@@Mike-zx1kx You're a very unpleasant person

Did you read it tho

Correct. It's unfortunate that it has become a sort of instruction manual for governments around the world, but what's worse are the people who go along with it.

I mean, just because there weren’t computers doesn’t mean there wasn’t data; it was just in a different format, and yes, in less quantities. But still there!

Yeah it sounds like a pretentious nightmare to me and I don’t want to be stuck inside somewhere that long!

Idk if it's legal to sell monkey for consumption

Oof, okay there Elon Musk. It's one thing to have $1k to blow on a restaurant, it's another thing to actually tell people you have $1k to blow on a restaurant.

Well, if you'd consider the restaurant for 1k, why not consider the plain ticket? Vacation aimed at one of a kind dining experience, while enriching your cultural scope of reality? Denmark is a great country to visit!

I live about 4 km from Alchemist (2½miles)

@@CyberGeekzGaming Honestly it's because of that 1k price tag. That's an entire vacation in of itself. The trip, room and board, and everything included would likely triple the cost of the whole trip, which is a bummer, but hey, keeps me saving!

@@ijustdocomments6777 It's not 100k, it's 1k. It'd be like saying 'Going on vacation is blowing your money'. I bust my ass to save money to get away from the grind once in awhile.

that's the right association

Is The Menu bad? I dont understand

@@SuWoopSparrow No no, The Menu is great, I love that movie. However, this whole experience seems to be the height of what The Menu was commenting on.

@@SuWoopSparrow It's a good movie, but it's literally "This but a horror film", so... this.

@@gallavanting2041 the menu isn't a horror movie

I guess you might be a bit too sensitive for this.

Had the same thought! Cool they talk about social problems like plastic, and re-using meat, donating blood, but still they serve meat and fois gras especially? Hmm...

*Pays €1000* *gets guilt-tripped into being stabbed with a needle*

Get the Pepto.

It includes 70 dishes and not all of them have one bite portions

But these small portions are specially made to be eaten in one go, so that all the flavors can interact at the same time.

Tbf it’s like only 20 bucks a dish which isn’t that bad considering the effort made in the presentation. Or like 143 a hour. It’s not as bad as it could be

Kinda weird to not care about child labour or climate change but okay lol

You can source Fois Gras ethically, it's just harder (and more expensive) because you have to nurture healthy animals instead of force-feeding them to death.

@@EdgeLie Eh, I feel like there's a difference between a happy life and a swift death vs a short life of suffering and a slow torturous death. Plus, the former usually tastes better.

@@EdgeLie The former tastes better because the feed *is not* the same. Muscle activity, diet complexity, lack of stress, these things contribute to a better cut of meat. That's why there's a difference between michelin-star steaks and your grocery store's clearance beef.

@@EdgeLie okay, even assuming same feed, like down to the calorie, better cared for animals will be less stressed and taste better. It's not psychological, it just comes down to how bodies and hormones work.

The fk u talking about lmao

Yes. Totally agree.. If they are that concerned about the environment they should try and do all this with fake meat (to a high standard), at the very least lay off the foi gras….

that's gotta be intentional no way it isnt

100% agree with you, the entire thing is really ironic

Agreed, I couldn't have put it better myself. Either the chef is a comedic mad genius or he's so far up his own ass even he can't realize how ridiculously ironic his showy grandstanding is, in one of the world's most wasteful industries such as fine dining. Perfect irony, whether intentional or not.

If anything the chef is making himself look stupid aswell, trying to be anti capitalistic and criticising rich people's lifestyle while catering to those same rich people. Telling people about the horrors of the meat industry and then serving them meat in an effort to be ironic, doesn't change the fact that you're still serving them meat, yk?
