Michelin-Star Chef Rates 11 Fine Dining Scenes In Movies & TV (w/ Paul Liebrandt) | How Real Is It?

Video Description

Master chef and restaurateur Paul Liebrandt rates 11 fine dining scenes in movies and television, such as "The Bear," for realism. Liebrandt breaks down the reality of running a fine-dining restaurant for three episodes of "The Bear," starring Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, such as kitchen jargon used in the kitchen, the creation and execution of dishes, and the high-stress environment in the kitchen often depicted in popular culture. He further explains fine-dining culture — from food critics to the impact of social media — as seen in the food critic scene in both "Ratatouille" and "Chef," with Jon Favreau; the pursuit to receive three Michelin stars in "Burnt," starring Bradley Cooper; and how social media has shaped the fine dining experience in "The Menu," with Anya Taylor-Joy and Ralph Fiennes. He also explains cooking and plating techniques, along with the evolution of French cuisine, via the molecular gastronomy scene in "The Hundred-Foot Journey," with Helen Mirren; the use of foie gras in "Cook Up a Storm"; the cooking competition scene "Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma," and the omelet-making scene at Le Cordon Bleu in "Julie & Julia," starring Merryl Streep as Julia Child. Liebrandt has been a chef for over 25 years and owned the two- Michelin-starred restaurant Corton in New York City. He also previously worked at the New York restaurants Atlas, Gilt, and Papillon. His book "To the Bone" is part cookbook and part memoir of his culinary experiences.
