The Fat Duck

[dextc]

@gregmgoodwin Hahaha... it's clear you never had fine dining.. I guess the less fortunate gotta stick to pizza huh?

[marelicainavokado]

@dextc Don't be an arrogant dick.

[nupraptor23]

@gregmgoodwin You obviously never went to a multiple course restaurant.Stick to clown shit.

[MrFavouriteVideos]

guys, this isnt the only course. For £160, you get 16 courses. This is just one of them. Wow.

[kgsaigon1]

This technique how do the eggs turn out? Mouth feel wise, temperature, also was it seasoned?

[unurautare2]

looks fun lol.

[yvelf]

ill have mine sunny side up please...

[Imsokoole]

@sandrodream1 What? English please.

[Dutch7777777]

Let's take it easy everyone...

[derast]

I am amazed at the godawful niveau of some of the comments here. What is up with you guys, seriously?

[raileanulucian]

What a ripoff... these places exists only because people with lots of money want to spoil their curiosity.

[tldmatrix]

Heston is a genis. I love his book.

[prodriver1]

@gregmgoodwin sometimes food isn't about being full its enjoying the art of food.

[adamskill]

@sandrodream1 mate i have been a professional chef for 22 years. i have traved the world cooking and eating at all sorts of restaurants. i have worked in numerous michelin starred restaurants in the uk, france, and spain. i have eaten meals in places that many people will never get the chance to and i am very thankfull for it. like i have said before, i understand what you are saying but i do not agree. i lived in italy for 2 years and i know the cuisine very well.

[Kurturmis]

looks like a waste of money.. ... i like nice food but where is the rest of it...

[adamskill]

@sandrodream1 i understand what you are saying, and i dont agree, and dont patronise me by telling me what i do and dont know.

[adamskill]

@sandrodream1 i have traveled Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Greece, turkey, Morocco, UK, etc etc. i understand what you are saying, but i dont agree. sure if you want awesome italian cuisine, the best place to get it is in italy. its the same with french or west african, thats how regional cuisine works.. but as far as "best restaurants" go, i dont believe that a traditional meal in italy is as good as 3 star michelin place.

[BloodyGaaraOfSand]

i want to go there someday when I'm older. too bad my parents dont have time right now ):

[adamskill]

the missus and i had dinner there recently. it was absolutely amazing. defently deserves all the accolades it gets. it cost us just over 300pounds. i think it was a fair price to pay to eat at one of, if not the best restaurants in the world. all the haters can seriously get fucked too, if you are too childish to appreciate good food, and new experiences, then by all means keep going to mcdonalds, but most importantly, get fucked.

[nattavision]

i can hear heston talking in the background!!!!

[nattavision]

@gregmgoodwin its just a tasting course, a sort of food sensation, ment to test all five of your senses, he does music with his food as well!

[roysters01]

Give me a full Irish any day.

[MrTheking999]

Im going there on October 3rd XD

[deanlo]

@:54 why does it squirt?

[artistsandbox]

this is food catered to the attention span of the modern American

[sincityfire]

I think it would be cheaper to make this at home... alot cheaper.

[Luthanor]

Im sorry but the atmosphere in there seems so tense

[FizzlNet]

Frozen bacon and eggs... Doesn't sound too appetizing. I wish at least the process was a bit more elegant so that the table side server wouldn't need to "hack away at" the frozen bits. Perhaps add a bit of ethanol to the mix to make it freeze in more controlled manner...

[jrferrio]

viva el bife de chorizo!! y no esa mierda

[myvirginkitchen]

Blimey bet that was expensive

[MeanrBeanr]

My peasant palate and bourgeois tongue prefer ice cream when it comes to frozen food. Plain vanilla will do just fine.

[coralarch]

"Outback Steakhouse" is even worse. I was horrified to find that it promotes its vile "food" as Australian cuisine , and wrote a scorching letter to them, complaining about misrepresentation. All I received was a smarmy pro-forma, so it's obvious that they don't bother reading anything. If ever there is a nuclear war, we can hope that these abominations are wiped out entirely.

[coralarch]

Hi Aaron- sorry, but I am not sure what you mean. Perhaps you meant to reply to another Youtuber? I was talking about McDonald's in France, of all places!.

[tube5cully]

Hi Dutch, did you enjoy the fat duck? whats the atmosphere like?

[mrsunseeker]

I went months ago and enjoyed it immensley.The theatre or the dishes as well as the taste.The staff were friendly, fun, yet professional (except for a surpising error of reaching across diners twice).The asmosphere is of suprise,wonder and infomality.There is no dress code or any snobbery. Perhaps the wine is pushed a bit too much, but you only need to say no. Go there to have fun and you will not be dissapointed!

[tube5cully]

Thanks for the info! Hope to go there sometime

[Dutch7777777]

that was only one course of 8 or 9 my friend...

[nattavision]

@Dutch7777777 its really a tasting course, which one did you have, the 13 piece course of the 15 piece course?

[crlhow]

Restaurant Noma is where the true genius is.

[Enoelfo]

Let us have an E-coded meal. Thank god France is still keeping it real.

[foltano]

France invented poncy food!!! Youve got to be joking.

[coralarch]

enoelfo- I can't believe that France allowed McDonald's into the country, or that the French like it- I really cannot believe it! A nation that produced the best European food - how could they do this?

[jonybeam]

best european food?you must be joking,don't kno where your from but you've obviously not been to france recently.poor service and very dull bland food.England Germany and Italy have the finest food in all europe.france is one of the worst

[pekoro70]

England?!

[coralarch]

jonybeam, well, things must have changed dramatically. in the 12 years that have passed by. I still go moist-eyed to recall the fantastic French food I had. Italy also has sensational tucker. I hear the UK is really forging ahead, but when I was there, the food ranged from insipid to disgusting.

[jonybeam]

Last time you were here must have been a long long time ago because now it's widely considered to have the best restauarants in the world.I'm from New york and i can assure you that the sheer variety of food available in London is truly awe inspriring.france is extremely bland and they basically are very insular sticking to their so called classic dishes which to be honest are from the dark ages unlike the fat duck in England on this video which is voted the best restauarant in the world.

[coralarch]

Well, you do surprise my, Jony, because I still go misty-eyed at the memory of the fantastic French tucker I ate. The one thing I didn't like were some of the red wines, which were like paint-stripper, but the food was 100% brilliant. Can you recommend any London restaurants?

[jonybeam]

I could but the list is so long it would take up most of this page!!I'd be more than happy to email you a 100 or so that i've dined at in the 4 years i've lived in England.

[coralarch]

You can PM me, jony. I'd be interested. Hubby was in France last year and said the food was sensational.

[pekoro70]

French food is not bad, but best food in the world is italian, no match

[bootyclaw]

I'm actually a slim woman who finds it difficult to put on weight! ;oD I was just giving my opinion of my experience and was hoping that anyone else who may visit either of those venues would have just as nice a time as I did. I'm not a snob in any way shape or form as this was a one-off thing that I thought might be fun.

[antonberk]

im impressed

[littleness]

This place is amazing, I went last tuesday & loved every minute! MAGIC!

[bootyclaw]

I went to The Fat Duck this Friday and Saturday. I had the 'a la carte' menu on the first day and the 'tasting menu' on the second day. It does cost an arm and a leg but I would recommend it to anyone. I also went to the Hinds Head hotel next to the restaurant, (which Heston also owns), on the Sunday and Monday for two pub meals and that was also a lovely experience. It's a once in a lifetime thing, but well worth it.

[scenic456]

Awesome!

[RockAgainstAss69]

Poncey, ffs, someone on the Little Chef tv show remake said the same thing. Open your fuckin minds a little, heston is making food fun and interesting.

[kzhong]

how much did you pay for this?

[Dutch7777777]

For 2 people, what sums up to be a mortgage payment.  Seriously.

[kzhong]

mortgage payment for this? This Heston guy is a genius!!

[nattavision]

@kzhong it depends, for a 13 piece course its about £120, but for the full 15 piece its about £150, per person!

[greaserleo]

heston blumenthal makes the most ponciest dishes ever. all that bullshit with the dry ice would be better kept for kids parties. didnt know they gave mitchelin stars for kids clown party cooking.

[samaldredmarch2007]

wtf. dont be such a dick. Heston is a genius and if you think otherwise, his 3 michelin stars speak for themselves.

[Dutch7777777]

Have you eaten there?

[mktriton]

I live near Bray at Watford, his taster selection is over 100 gbp about $150 for a taste of almost all his dishes. It's unbelieveable. The man maybe a mad scientist, but what he creates is un-fucking-believeable to taste.

[KEeyaBitch1]

@Dutch7777777 Heston Isnt one of those poincy chefs he a culinary genius.. you wouldnt appreciate it as your tastebuds are under developed

[abonawas]

@Dutch7777777 yes i have......and when i left i had wished i had eaten at macdonalds instead,,,,,nothing beats a big mac fries and a large coke.....i plan to go there again with a freind and when the dinner is all over we plan to make a run for the exit.....99 percent chance they wont give chase.....too much snotty for them to do that......

[foltano]

Jealous much? Are you Anthony Worrall-Thompson posting under a youtube alias?

[nattavision]

@greaserleo well, thats your opinion, however these are tasting sessions, ment to enthrall the senses, an experimental kitchen i beleive is what he calls it. the 3 michelin stars were awarded for presentation, punctuality and taste, well deserved!

[reefravenscroft01]

@greaserleo i second that, do you actually have any idea about what you're actually talking about? And what's a 'mitchelin' star out of interest? Surely if you're going to slag off the place and the 'michelin' guide, at least have some basic knowledge about it

[pupitski]

@greaserleo hahahahaha

[Skurgefaust]

These comments are just ridiculous. I won't even bother making you all look bad, you've done that already.

[bacolodfoodie143]

i min they are

[bacolodfoodie143]

ah yeah, hes nicholas kurti and herve this. with the help of mr. wiki hehe

[bacolodfoodie143]

well, if i am ferran adria.i shud say "who do u think u are taking the world by storm?"ok il col this deconstructive cuisine!" but to think of it, the techniques is also practiced in molecular gastronomy, but we humans just wanted to be known and do something different. the idea has just been branched out like an antler of a deer, when before it just goes round and round like the horn of a ram..the bottom line,hu established the idea first.a physicist hu pioneered this. forgot the name,

[jrca73]

You might be thinking of the French chemist, Hervé This.

[bacolodfoodie143]

its still is molecular gastronomy! but the prob is adria has high reputation, and this molecular gastronomy, was develop by an individual thats not a chef, but a chemist!!! and this gimmicky approach is quite catchy and phenomenal to foodies around the world... so how disturbing could this be, if i am a world renowned chef like ferran adria!

[robsworldtour]

First of all El Bulli does not practice Molecular Gastronomy and this has been said by head Chef Ferran Adria of countless occasions; instead he refers to it as "deconstructive cuisine".

Secondly, comparing McDonalds to The Fat Duck is like comparing a 3 year old footballer to a professional world class athlete. If you really think McDOnalds would taste better I feel sorry for you as you have never tasted anything that has substance

[stingpingchamp]

you can get more food than that at mcdonalds. prob taste better. more filling. and only for around 5 bucks

[interpol2121]

you probably have no tastebuds

[xomia43]

i bet you never been to the fat duck

[smasheditorial]

Good luck with that.........

[brogansbarbers]

I suppose you could, if you had no sophistication whatsoever.

[peteyandjaydee]

Okay you sir are just inept, you go to Mackers and have your deep fried cow snouts, feet and other scrap meat, you will never know what true quality is with that attitude

[chefkoo]

don't knock snout feet and scrap meat. they're just as noble an ingredient as filet

[peteyandjaydee]

simply using snout, feet and scrap for dramatic effect

[chefkoo]

ahh. didn't mean to screw it up for you

[adrianathecook]

and what el bulli does is for example they make a strawberry by using jellies. so the "strawberry" looks like a real one and taste like a real one but its actually a fake one. a bad example maybe but i think ive made my point. and i believe el bulli will also not make the strawberry taste like a apple. thats just pointless..

[annickggirl]

lol at:

"This is better than Benihana"

errr yeah... just a bit!

When Benihana gets a Michelin star,

I'll eat hay with a donkey...

oops there I go, giving Heston more gastronomic ideas.

٩๏̯͡๏)۶

ə٨٥٦

♥a♥g♥g♥

[420fmx]

LOL!!

[Awesomeuserdude]

That is crazy. I wonder if it's any good.

[420fmx]

lol nah it would be heaps shit,

thats why the serve it at the restaurannt..

fucking idiot.

[Awesomeuserdude]

Well no fucking duh it's good enough to be served at a restaurant. I meant I wonder if I'd like it you retard.

Do you people ever think before you post idiotic comments like that?

[nserranob]

Did he only use the liquid nitrogen to cook it? Or did he first cooked it for a while and then added the liquid nitrogen?

[mrsunseeker]

The eggs are pre-filled with something concocted ready to make ice cream, it's not just egg in the shells. But yes the "yolk" is added to the nitro and stirred and that's it, done.

[Nizm0350z]

wow, pretty cool. but i'd need about 4 of those portions to get full

[Dutch7777777]

It was just one of about 20 courses...

[14mm2]

american tourists.... *sigh*

[halofighter24]

wow. cool cooking technique. and im sure the food tastes great. but did u see the tiny amount of food that guy gave to her. i would need lik 20 of those to fill me up. okay, maybe not twenty, but definetly more than what she was give.

[420fmx]

its why its a desert,

you dont "fill up" on a desert you ignorant motherfucker.

try learning the concepts of a 3 course meal.

[irick450]

You are talking about others being ignorant when you are suggesting a meal at the Fat Duck usually consists of 3 courses? Quit trying to talk above your pay grade and realize that you are a low rent, cable food show watching prick with an desperate desire to elite.

You don't become a foodie by sitting on your couch and regurgitating other people opinions.

[Dutch7777777]

He didn't heat it... He "cooked" it with liquid nitrogen...

[porbello9]

WOW he heated the food, then froze it, then heated it err and that makes it great why

[Leanstrum]

For this course, the waiter greeted us with "Good morning". Nice touch, I thought.

The ice cream is absolutely fantastic.

[jimmytulley]

blumenthal is a great chef, but has taken all his ideas for ferran adria at el bulli. He is far more advanced

[Leanstrum]

I doubt even Ferran Adria would think that Heston steals his ideas. They're both at the forefront of the molecular gastronomy movement and their styles are actually quite different. There's room for more than one chef in a certain cooking style.

[mahlstadt]

soon this dish will be to the british what apple pie is to americans

[tinygirl28]

Heston is god.

[bcfcsears]

heston blumenthal is insane.

[lukeydukey1000]

Handiling liquid nitrogen is canny dangerous like!

[jdepluva10]

actually it is safe in short bursts and as long as you pull your hand out immediately after touching it you would be fine.

we made ice cream in chem class and he poured the extra liquid nitrogen on our hands and nothing happened. really. its just really cold air.

[LOLONO666]

tu fais quoi...?

[kirenpuri]

I find it extremely amusing that you fault the English spoken, when your own English is extremely wanting.

[jdepluva10]

its not a spelling bee, its the internet.

I can speak in perfectly good English if I want to, but I don't want to waste the time.

there. happy?

[jdepluva10]

heston blumenthal owns the fat duck, ferran adria owns el bulli. el bulli is basically the leader of molecular cooking, but the people at the fat duck speak english (if not very well)

[verocity]

the fuck are you talking about thick cunt.

[jdepluva10]

what?

im talking about restaurants that use experimental/molecular cooking.

go to hell.

[verocity]

"...but the people at the fat duck speak english (if not very well)"

[frostnet]

thats insane, heston blumenthals awesome!! but that waiter is pretty silly dipping his hand so close into that nitrogen!

[bigjonnytwobelts]

All I know is that handling liquid nitrogen without heavy duty thermal gloves is unwise.

[Mdoublec1989]

ok its either heston blumenthal or ferran adria that owns the fat duck, i cant really remember. but they both deal with molecular gastronamy. i had to a report on them both and at the fat duck they had many dishes that

[theorytest5]

blumenthal owns the fat duck. Adria owns el bulli in spain

[Mdoublec1989]

were not what they seemed. one faviorate was a dish that appeared to be caviar but it tasted like apples. now i havent been to the fat duck but from the other dishes ive seen i wuld probably have to lean towards the it actuially bieng eggs. why doesent the poster of this vid let us know to clear confusion?

[Dutch7777777]

What do you need clarification on?

[420fmx]

"at the fat duck they had many dishes thatwere not what they seemed. one faviorate was a dish that appeared to be caviar but it tasted like apples."

Your report must have been shit, because its at el bulli that they do that, not the fat duck.. Anthony Bourdain can help clear this up for me aswell ;)

[irick450]

I doubt anyone confused the two since they are in different countries and have wildly different chefs. But that isn't the point. The point is someone(you)keeps calling everyone an idiot, when it is clear that this fuck(you again)knows close to nothing.

El Bulli isn't the only restaurant in the world that practices Molecular Gastronomy. The Fat Duck does, as well as MANY others. Maybe if you actually ate at these restaurants instead of just watching people on TV do so, you would know that.

[420fmx]

where did i mention that el bulli is the only restaurant to practice Molecular Gastronomy?

way to own urself, jackass.

[adrianathecook]

i think people hav their minds twisted about what molecular gastronomy is.. i mean of course every top restaurants wants to serve dishes that can suprise the customers. but i don't see the point say, to serve a apple flavour dish that taste like a orange. whats the point? i mean if you want a orange flavour dish you order a orange dish. its not the "suprise" that we want to give to our customers.. ive been to a french restaurant that actually does that but i don't like it.

[yohendrix]

how much do they charge for this dish?

[adamspencer18]

yeh barz is wrong they blow the eggs out and soak the shells to clean them then pipe the icecream in

[Dunnaz]

Nah you were lookin at scrambled eggs, he even says so.

[smellyphish]

listen this is bacon and egg ice cream its not actual egg in the shell, the process that dutch explained is correct....barz you are wrong! trust me

[barz26]

It's not ice cream it's scrambled eggs, cooked in liquid nitrogen as opposed to using heat!! changing the usual expectations over and presenting an alternative!!

[Dutch7777777]

It is ice cream... They blow out the actual eggs and replace it with a "mixture" used to make the ice cream. Because it is cooled so quickly, the ice cream has a very smooth texture. They actually talked about this on Diary of a Foodie... diaryofafoodie(dot)org

[barz26]

I think you'll find it's not, check w w w(dot)justhungry(dot)com 2006 11 the_fat duck bray berkshire uk(dot)html i have also been there myself and trust me it's a real egg scrambled in liquid nitrogen, they do make bacon and egg ice cream but it's a completely diffrent method to this.

[dinswok]

liquid nitrogen?? WTF?

[boobookittyfark]

hahaha!! awesome!

[madchef360]

To get the ice cream mix into the egg you have to blow out the egg its self by putting a small hole in the top and the bottom of the egg, TO make the ice cream base you infuse your milk base with dry cured bacon and some other bits of magic ! stain and follow a basic custard base but over cooking the eggs so the egg molecules become larger, Kind of like scrambled egg texture! Puree until smooth.and funnel into clean eggshells.

[gatodeiguala]

the process is almost right i am a prodegy of these ice creams i used to make the ice creams if you really want top know how its done then email me.

[lettek]

dutch 77777 , did you ask how do they get the icecream into the egg shell., ? i would kill to know., :-D

[laughlan]

FOOL! The egg becomes the ice cream. That is the beauty.

[lettek]

heston blumenthal is the god of gastronomy. along with ferran adria.. i guess jiliane 1980 has no idea of high gastronomy or molecular gastornomy how this style of cooking is called

[Jiliane1980]

so 3 star or not i still woudnt eat it.. he look at caviar its expensive and very hi class and 3 preson out of 4 totaly hate it... not evryone has the same taste... and liking

[Vamoo]

Most of the people that don't like caviar haven't got the slightest clue of how to eat it. And believe me, you don't get three stars by not knowing how to serve food correctly.

[sonthui]

Jiliane1980, this is a 3 star michelin restaurant, your comment is a bit out of league.. This is scramble eggs (ice cream)! made with nitro for the scramble effect..

[Dutch7777777]

Jiliane did not know what it was... And actually, it was scrambled eggs and bacon ice cream. I also had sardine ice cream during my visit. And besides having 3 stars, don't forget it is the number 2 restaurant in the world!

[Jiliane1980]

Oohh k.. well its less weird then.. i tought raw frozen egg were kinda grosse but i didnt wanted to say it... lol

[Jiliane1980]

Ohh O_0 weird... id never think about serving frozen egg ans believe me i AM the chef of a restaurant... maybe il try it who knows its worth a try.

[Dutch7777777]

It isn't a "real" egg... It has some kind of cream mixture inside instead of a yolk and whites... It actually has the Fat Duck emblem printed on the shell!

[sonthui]

Jiliane1980, this is a 3 star michelin restaurant, your comment is a bit out of league.. This is scramble eggs (ice cream)! made with nitro for the scramble effect..

[superlocalv]

i hope to get there one day! thanks very much for posting! ^^
