Ruhlman isn't wearing socks...

[longfootbuddy]

hes acting like a real dumb fruitcake

[thierryman]

Was this really rated G up in Canada? hahahaha

[mrpicky510]

I want to go kill a bellweather baby lamb that's only drank mother's milk and see if I can cook like TK. Hmm, doubtful, however, this man really inspires me to push the limits of my own cooking and what I feel is possible to create in a kitchen. The connection to the food and the slow movements in the kitchen. See that's the key to this shit, take your time, any great restaurant I've ever eaten at is not rushed, but slow and methotical.

"he's cool" :D "he's really cool" :O... :D

"The way that nature just packed them in this cotton."

Uhm, nature didn't do diddily squat there, buddy. That design is all the power of man and his selective breeding.

BEHOLD THE POWER OF HUMANITY! WE CAN EVEN MAKE A BOX-SHAPED COW!

WHAT IS THIS "NO RESERVATIONS" BEFORE IT WAS "NO RESERVATIONS" LOL

[baburton81]

I've been.....it's just a tourist trap. I had the best food at "the girl and the fig" eat there!

[stillett12343]

"You know" these are the kind of guy's" if not the guy's that used to buy resturants i used to run in vegas.,.,.;)

[choji1212]

Hahahaha a month ahead for a reservation

[FlipSnipeZ]

Experiences like these seem to have changed Tony, haha from a loud cocky chef, now hes a funny chill dude that doesn't even smoke! lots of respect.

[queenshelley420]

i would totally have a 3 way with Tony and Eric Ripert :)

[hsuanstr]

damn that guys shirt is really purple

[miakee07]

found it! thanks!

[telduivel]

Like a bunch of kids spending their first saving allowance at the ice cream parlor.... totally cool :)

[Silentj04]

Perfect show!!! Wrong channel!!! This is real world people talking, real world experience, no sugar coating (Im looking at you Food Network). Im a chef and this speaks to my heart, not that I have pure black malose towards FN but this is real.

[mrpicky510]

I think it's around 8 courses. I could be wrong. I hope to be rich enough to go before I die

[40950999]

$250 per person, but damn it looks worth it.

[smurfarooney2003]

@40950999 its that much surely not 

[explodingpuppy]

@40950999 $250 a head, including wine pairings or no?

[datflyingpanda]

I would go, but it's SO expensive. $250 per person. =(

[5botball]

@datflyingpanda do you know if its the same amount of courses as they got. because if it is I thinks its worth it.

[cyclingkid06]

@5botball There are two, nine course fix priced menus @ $250, service included

[mztweety1374]

i sooo wanna go..

[SethHesio]

The head teacher at my culinary school wasn't overly impressed with The French Laundry. He said it was very very uptight. And several times one or two of them were left without courses while others ate. I sooo wanna eat there though.

[jameister12345]

Tony needs to visit Vancouver, BC, and try out the 218 flavours of ice cream at La Casa Gelato International Ice Cream House. If he's looking for something exotic, that's the place to be. Forget durian; there's rice flavour, beer, wasabi, even curry ice cream!

[TangDynastyBeard]

"One internal belch, and you've pretty much destroyed the lives of citizens around you." lmao

[avalanchesoul]

7:29 "he's cool...really cool :)"

[SethHesio]

He's like a giddy little boy after meeting Thomas Keller isn't he? lol Brilliant. It's amazing how young Tony is in this compared to the latest series of No Reservations.

[avalanchesoul]

yeah, sometimes when an experience is so profound, all you can say is "wow." or as is the case, "he's cool..."

[veeresh103]

i know this is an older episode, and Anothony Bourdain has gone on to be a major success , but it is still amazing to see him, the notoriously sarcastic man that he is, humbled by his meeting with his mentor .

still, Bourdain for the win!!!!!

[sourcetags]

Thank you Flyinghotpot for uploading this. i've been waiting to see the entire episode of everything. Your amazing.

[denisefan]

Oh yeah, French Laundry, September 2003, awesome dining experience for me. I'd go more often if I live on the west coast. Per Se is good too but I prefer the ambiance of the French Laundry.
