Has anyone actually been to their restaurant? Is the food as good as it looks on youtube?
Nobody cares about your boyfriends’ restaurant faggot
>>22274833these two dudes buttfuck each other in the walk in.
>>22274833They've made some good videos but anyone with a brain can tell their restuarant is an overpriced tourist trap. You can literally see them try to justify some of their prices with "yeah uhh cooking potatoes like this takes a good amount of effort so that's why it's £50 a dish for £2.50 material cost"The channel is essential a big ad.>How to improve your eggs (LIKE A CHEF): step 1, use Fallow's Big Bomba Hot Sauce
I appreciate that they're great chefs but no one is trying their recipes. Their content is just food porn.
>>22274833>wonder what the hype is about>read menu>it's basically barely upmarket dinershit
>>22274958i remember i laughed out loud when this video popped up in my feed and at the end the answer was "cause we put a huge markup on it"https://www.youtube.com/shorts/g9folmE0QgA
why would i visit a restaurant with a sizable social media presence?
>>22274833Idk who those faggots even are.
>>22275113idk, it wasn't that funnyi believe that most michelin starred places don't even actually make a profit. Like, they have to be funded by some wealthy investor behind the scenes or something for much of the time, or if the customer buys alcohol which has a huuuge markup. The cost of fresh good ingredients is surprisingly a lot, plus you gotta pay for the labour of the chefs and their health insurancethe guy in the vid says markup is only 72% average? It really doesn't seem unreasonable to pay 100% for the ingredients, and then a 72% extra for the labour to make, then serve, then clean up after younot a chef but just my thoughts, even as a poor person
>>22275147>It really doesn't seem unreasonable to pay 100% for the ingredients, and then a 72% extra for the labour to make, then serve, then clean up after youidk if that's exactly what he means by that. the cod's head is 31 pounds according to their menu. he's saying they get them at 3.5 pounds/kilo, those heads look like they're maybe a couple of kilos. i tried to find the price from 2024 when the video came out and i got 28-29 pounds. i don't think that works out to 80% markup, that's a fourfold increase in the price
>>22274958>anyone with a brain can tell their restuarant is an overpriced tourist trap.WHAAAAAAI can't afford to eat there so I will call it names and put it down.
>>22275173>>22275147That would mean that the price of the cod's head is roughly 20% of the menu price, assuming they're a bit less than 2 kilos. So the other 80% is labor costs, power costs, the sauce, etc.
>>22274857>the walk in.The foyer? Where everyone can see!!!???
>>22274833That guy disrespected beans, fuck him.
>>22274958You think someone would do that? Make a YouTube channel to advertise their products and then the youtube channel becomes more popular than the products?
Fallow is really good and isn't overpriced, especially for the location. It's innovative and you can see how hard they work on their recipes. Shut ins who've never been anywhere near the place like to sneer as it makes them feel relevant, which is tragic.
>>22274833I have never ever been to a sit down restaurant where you order food from a menu that's printed on a piece of paper. I've only ever been to buffets or fast food chains.
>>22275124The same reason why people go to Gordon's restaurants
>>22275623you mean severe mental retardation?
>>22275124Because you want to try it. Imagine letting social media influence your opinions to this degree, kek
>>22275479I havent been to a fast food chain in over a decade
>>22275626No, it's called popularity
>>22275469I went there before I knew they were 'viral'. It was delicious, especially their smoked beef ribs and the Chelsea tart. I've since watched some of their videos and you're correct that they obviously put an incredible amount of time and effort to develop a dish. I expect all restaurants are like that, but you don't get to see it.
>>22275671with severe mental retards? makes sense
>>22275671Same thing
>>22275666Me neither, but there's delivery
I like William, nice bloke. They enjoy what they do and share info with others
>>22275662>Because you want to try itBecause social media told you too. Imagine letting social media influence your opinions to this degree, kek
>>22274833>"oh neat it looks like pretty good food">check out their website>25% 'service fee' (forced tip) added to every orderlol. lmao. i'm not paying your upfront tip, fuck off to the US with that shit this is the UK.
>>22275477https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNO50oMLYHkEven if he's not serious, wasting food to make a joke immediately makes him a subhuman (as if you couldn't tell from the tattoos).
>>22276403What if you just heard of it from a friend? Or read about it somewhere? You still wouldnt go if it had a big social media following, because youre a bitch. Again, you are beholden to social media even while railing against it. I dont give a fuck, i go where i like, regardless of social media or not. You will continue to seethe and complain. Also >told you toofuck off esl
>>22275853Oh, i havent eaten at a fast food chain in over a decade. Delivery, drive thru or not. I dont like it and its too expensive now anyway.
>>22276411>>22276463Maybe because they're terminally online or know most of their audience is American but they use a lot of Americanisms too. It's weird. Imperial measurements in some of their recipes tooAlso shitting on beans has to be rage bait, Full English (beans being an agreed core ingredient) is the third most popular dish in the UK just behind Fish & Chips and Roast Chicken.
>>22276967Most UK YouTubers are Uncle Toms they know if they're all yes massr they'll get more hits. "this cost £5" cue them flashing up the dollar cost because they know Americans are too stupid or ignorant to convert it
>>22277081Absolutely seething aboit gour island's otherwise uninterrupted downward trajectory into irrelevance.
>>22277088concession accepted :)
>>22277088>aboit gourHands shaking whilst typing, I'm guessing. Sorry sweetheart.
>>22275147>idk, it wasn't that funnycatty bitch nigger
>>22277088so, ye empire gets old, canae hack it anymore and thats it? THATS your thery?
>>22277111Yeah. Beautifully fucking illustrated.
>>22277081Do you blame them? There's over 300 million of them. Revenue is generated by views and subscriptions. Why would you want to alienate potentially your biggest audience. They have a rudimentary grasp on the language, it's tenuous but it's there. However they get very angry and scared when they don't understand something. Like a toddler. They'd stop watching if that happened.
>>22276411damn, honestly even as an American, I'd never go there. Tip culture is dumb af, the prices should be reflected in the menu, not in some fucking tip you force at the end! There behavior should never be encouraged. Huge dealbreaker for me
>>22277111>ye empire gets oldmore like "Canaan hack it" lmao
>>22274833I hate this guy's videos because he looks and acts like a pretentious faggot
>>22277410You don't get the stars if you don't.
>>22275147the overwhelming majority of costs is just staff. finding staff, training staff, keeping staff. the second most important factor is location: you want a manor, villa, mansion etc. If you have to rent you're set back a huge chunk. food cost is almost irrelevant in that bracket because the customer pays anyway.you're correct, good staff costs so much most Michelin places barely turn a profit unless they have a partnership with a big enterprise (TV series, books, ads, frozen meals, knife ranges)>>22275479I've been invited to the best restaurant in the world for a friendly wine trader's 70th birthday. We were 12 professionals and my friend paid 1000€ per person. After the 5 hour meal we all moved across the street and ate far better for 50€ a person in a no name mom-and-son venue. It's a give and take thing.
DUDE CARTOUCHE LMAO
>>22277586>We were 12 professionals and my friend paid 1000€ per person. After the 5 hour meal we all moved across the street and ate far better for 50€ a person in a no name mom-and-son venue.I doubt every word you have said.Why tell lies? Seriously, why tell lies on an anonymous board?

It's a give and take thing.None of the restaurants that are deemed the best in the world charge that much per head. Name the restaurant and what you had.
>>22277586lol
>>22276967I don't understand the British obsession with these shitty canned beans
>>22274967We call that Authentico here in Queens. You flyovers are just too addled by meth an low iq to appreciate good American food taken to the best level possible
>>22277824>obsessionIt's just a breakfast item. Don't get why everyone else has such a hate boner for them, they're not exactly intense>>22277081I wouldn't say most but a lot of the biggers ones are for sure.
Which tf are these guys? This isn't Gordon Ramsey
>>22277586at least try to create the illusion of truth, this is not your retarded entourage
