    This is so weird the chef cooking the carrots was one of my childhood buddies 😂😂

    Dont get me started on my dad on porkchops. That man can do alchemy by changing one carbon into another carbon aka Meat into wood.
  • @MultiEltro
    Respect to the chef. He genuinely cares for his customers and the quality of the food.
  • @PinkSlime0990
    Since it was only a decade ago that the FDA lowered the cooking temp of pork to 145F along with more modern techniques such as sous vide, I believe there are whole generations that have not had a pork chop that isn't dry. I wouldn't be surprised if pork chops became more popular and given the same level of attention as steaks, especially considering how expensive beef is rn.

    Dear Eater - Sincerely, thank you for your recent content and vetting for passion, creativity, and beautiful nuance.

    As a former food inspector, I have to say the food safety here is perfect. One of the few places I've ever seen actually use their thermometer. Also that food looks darn delicious!
  • @howardzuo6137
    Love how they pull techniques, ingredients and tools from all difference places in the world to make something that is truly unique and very their identity
  • As a restaurant you always work on small margins. Save $$$ and don’t add butter to the bag. It doesn’t help in any way.
  • @joshuawebb6305
    As a Nashville native, I'll easily call Pelican and Pig the best restaurant in town.
  • @hocke68
    This is awesome, finally a place on this series that I’ve actually been to already. This place is legitimately fantastic and I was shocked at how little recognition it had when I went two years ago.
  • @BillAngelos
    Loved seeing the use of the black garlic on the steak. Really would love to try that... Now I need to make up some black garlic.
  • @Smellydoug
    I'm glad he sees the potential in pork chops. It is very looked over but if done right, so good
  • @TheJonjojan
    Just to sidenotes, the fan thingy and egg trays are how we do it in asia most of the time. Atleast in my country. 🤣🤣🤣 cheers mate. I really can imagine how the taste are going to be. Spectacular!!!
  • @raindesu18
    the chef and his friend from childhood just reunited on this video's comment section now that's wholesome lol
  • @Satoshi79
    Awesome guy, providing good food in a casual setting
  • @RichHomieBodhi
    Every dish they showed looked amazing! Just the mix of cultures and techniques. Excellent stuff. If only they were in CA.
  • @emick3326
    Holy crap the egg crate to ignite the charcoal is genius
  • This guy must have a superpowered hood setup in that kitchen to be able to burn that much wood and not kill everyone in there
  • @ALRules42
