/ck/ - Food & Cooking

This was our amuse bouche which was some sort of salmon in a broth. It was pretty salty not gonna lie but it tasted good nonetheless.

I'm shit at food reviews lol.

>Seafood consomme broth with some prawns and clams + edible flower petals and truffle

Unattainable haha
You got ripped off.
They didnt even give you a full plate.

Some fish dish, but I completely forgot what type of fish it was. It looked nice though.

You're the one who's going to run that fortune into the ground, aren't you?

>>11240803
Shrimp and catfish.
A portion that size is $4.95 in mississippi
So unattainable.

This is some wine-centric restaurant where the concept is you pick a wine and for each course and the food comes out paired with it, so you didn't know what you were going to get. Pretty cool. We were served by the best sommelier in the world and saw Kiera Knightley (or I think it was).

My starter was a shrimp/seafood broth...I like my broths..

The lighting was shit though.

I ordered a red and ended up with some beef thing for mains.

Again the lighting was so bad for pictures.

>>11240799
Maybe you should spend e few of those millions on a cellphone with a decent camera.
And why are you taking pictures at the table? Its rude and frowned upon by polite society.

For the life of me i can't remember the name of this restaurant.

>Vanilla millefeule with gold shavings

That was dessert.

Gonna go outside for a run now too I think.

>>11240791

isn't this just a waste of money?

>>11240821
I guess they charge extra to cook it?

>>11240831
The French really like their raw beef. I saw a steak tartare on every menu from road side cafes to michelin starred restaurants.

>>11240823
My daughter does something like this on sunday nights when she raids the pantry to make dessert.
Shes seven.

This thread is so full of salt.

>>11240791
No one here cares about these meme meals.

>>11240843
I came on here expecting to see nice food in the catalogue but it's all burgers, pizzas and fat people. Junk food. Fuck that man.

>>11240848
Sounds like Reddit is more your speed.

This was dessert at David Toutain (3 michelin stars) and it's designed to look like elements of nature.

There's a garden with quail eggs, which weren't actually quail eggs. They were sweet and some sort of dessert. There's 'mud' with some chocolate truffles hidden in them (because truffles come from the earth I guess) and pebbles with some 'pebble macaroons'.

This was at the end of a 12 course meal as well.

>>11240930
Back from my run so I'll post some more. I don't have pics from 3 nights because they weren't that impressive. They were still michelin starred but the food looked more 'normal'.

I recently went on holiday with my mum and sister for the first time in years and every meal we had they spent an agonising amount of time taking multiple pics, choosing the best, editing it and posting it to Instagram with shitty internet then getting the other person to check it’s come up on their stories and looks correct. It took longer than saying fucking grace.

This dish was part of this 12 course long dinner >>11240861

It was fried pork fat, like pork scratchings almost but lighter and fluffier.

Fucking nauseating, would ban it if I owned a restaurant.

This was some sort of egg concoction in an egg shell. Truth be told I didn't even know what half the things were, I just ate them.

>>11240969
>>11240959
You are eating 5th grade art projects.

I genuinely can't remember what this was.

Veal sweetbreads. Easily the highlight of the evening. I love sweetbreads so damn much, it's not even funny. I make sure to order it at every restaurant I go to that has it.

It would be "unattainable" for you too since you can't cook it yourself and need your family to buy it for you.

Venison with mushrooms. I was pretty drunk at this point so I actually don't remember too much of most of the dishes after this and forgot to take a few pictures.

>>11240838

the placement of the hollow part of the berry nest to the taint looks surprisingly like an anus.

some of this food looks good, OP, but I think id rather have a fucking new car instead of what you spent on it.

>>11241162
I didn't spend anything, my father did. Each meal was around £800-£1000 (including wine). I still study at university but I'm not really sure what I want to do. I like high fantasy though and anime so maybe I have to find a job that can combine the two.

>>11241042
>shaving

That's actually a neat idea, especially if you match shaving thickness with cheese strength.

>>11241162
New cars that are interesting are far more expensive than a week of meals, and good meals are far more exciting than boring cars.

>>11241174
Mate you need to up your wine budget, I'm sure some of the main deserved premier grand cru classes.

Also, take it from a fellow rich fag, whatever you do make sure you exploit nepotism, and whatever you do, don't work in the family business until after you've made a name elsewhere. If you're doing a shit (any humanities that isn't ppe at ox) degree force your way into the city or into journalism, if you're doing a degree worth something just succeed. The goal is to make enough money to have £10-20m to yourself rapidly, then you can spend your time quite freely on anime or some other trash.

Second last one from David Toutain's restaurant. By this point I was pretty drunk so again I have no recollection of what the hell this was. I'm hazarding a guess that it was some sort of beetroot dish.

>>11241190
We ordered a £300 bottle at Robuchon, but I haven't posted food from that dinner yet. Also, what family business? It's been sold.

And what's so good about journalism? Although, come to think of it, working at somewhere like Reuters and being a foreign correspondent would be pretty cool.

>>11240836
It’s horse meat

>>11241190
>The goal is to make enough money to have £10-20m to yourself rapidly

That's a ridiculously bold goal btw lol. You make it sound so easy and run of the mill.

Again, no idea what this was. I think it was steak tartare but wine was messing with my head at this point lol.

>>11241030
This entire thread was the build up for this picture. Think about that

I've never made it to Robuchon's Paris restaurant, shame the old chap is gone. I did go to la chateau in Tokyo, which was very nice albeit entirely classical, reminded me of Ducasse's Le Louis XV. I imagine his Paris one is much the same?

And nothing's particularly good about journalism, it's just good networking and a closed shop unless you have money and contacts. The consequence is that it's not much of a meritocracy, and instead an escalator of sorts for those with the contacts in the first place. I'm guessing, as you have money, you're a public school boy; in which case journalism is just one of the easy routes up from what I've seen. The downside is that you normally end up in influencer roles rather than owning IP or having equity in services. But yeah, you can go from journalism into almost anything so long as you're competent at handling people and can speak their (albeit very lefty metropolitan) language.

>>11241224
It's not easy, but it's a good goal to have, mainly because it excludes gradual wage progression. My issue with roles that lead to late-in-life executive positions is that payout is at 50+, usually later. So if your starting point is that much by that age (say 35-40), your tactic has to be different, and whilst pushing your seniority you must also must focus on being paid in equity rather than salary, and ownership of IP (n.b. I'm mainly in tech, so IP is more important here than in most areas, equity is true for all though). So long as you're not a fuck-up, late-in-life executive is still a viable backup plan. Go for big money, get it if you're lucky and talented, always get 'plenty' anyway.

Courses for horses though, I think many of the late-in-life executives I know would've never wanted to retire to sailing/leisure irrespective of their wealth. I just like food and boats more than other things.

>>11240791
good food is wasted on the rich

Tell some stories of your pedophile grandfather.

>>11241283
Robuchon Paris was very modern and not classical at all. It had TV's in the dining area where you can watch the chefs prepare the food via a camera in the kitchen. We actually saw our fish and steaks being prepared because we saw them be cooked, plated up and a few seconds later the waiter comes round with them. The lighting is also hues of red and black, like a cool bar and they were replaying some old french show on another TV.
It was very modern and almost hispterish.

Pic related was my scallop soup starter.

Re my life, Tbh, at this point I'm not really sure what to do and would rather not think about it lol. If i can somehow find a way to get £20 million while sleeping I'll fill you in though. I don't have many friends so not much chance for networking either.

>>11241221
Whatever this is it looks like a pair of sliced sausages in a dog dish filled with fine gravel.

Any one of these dishes cost more than I have spent on groceries in the past five months. I don't make exaggeration either.

The little tray is probably binned as well.

>>11241369
>Any one of these dishes cost more than I have spent on groceries
I doubt it, individually a single dish from a 12 course tasting menu would likely only cost $20-30.

It's 12 courses afterall, you're probably only paying $150-500 depending on the restaurant. At $500 for 12 courses that'd be ~$41 per course.

>>11241378
There was 6 of us so it cost quite a bit. I think I massively underestimated how much it actually cost above. I reckon it was easily reaching £2000 for some of these dinners but i didn't check the bill because it wasn't my place to.

Irrelevant. People do dine out when traveling without needing to state their net worth, ROFL. You're either a foodie or you're not, business or pleasure, frequently or infrequently, so yea, irregardless of income.
>>11240791
>I'm also self aware enough to know for most people this sort of food is unattainable but pictures are the next best thing I guess?
There are few people who have regular internet access on a forum online who would find a £200 meal "unattainable" or whatever you want to call it. Get over yourself, and watch your language. You're coming across kind of prickish. People of all incomes shouldn't feel the need to talk like you do?

I'm going to enjoy your pics however. I make a point to hit up something in the top 10 ranking whenever I travel, which is often. I'm posting a pic from a restaurant I discovered last month in Montreal. My pics contain loved ones, not food alone, so I found one online. Pic is not even a the actual course, just the dessert course accompaniment items at Europea. There's a metal sculpture tree with cotton candy "leaves" and 6 different homemade candies, gummies, marshmallows, sugared nuts hanging like ornaments. There were chocolate pistachio lollipops on a chilled slab of marble, hot madelines in the box with powdered sugar, pots de creme with passionfruit gel, and under the tree were 12 different french pastries/cookies. The actual dessert was chosen off a menu as part of the 10 course tasting. My favorite item came in a cigar box tableside, carried smoking of maple wood which poofed out, and featured a small bite of smoked salmon and cream "eggs" in a little sugared bird's nest cup as cracker. Fun place, highly recommend! US dollar is strong in Canada, so yea, 30% off for US tourists.

Any restaurant with a sense of respect for the customer would never serve food on flaking dinnerware michelin or no. I'm triggered. Buttmad, even.

The steak at 3 michelin starred Robuchon with a celeriac foam, butternut squash and a creamy mash.

>>11241130
>Yep. This sort of fancy faggotry does not impress me at all. I am a man and I would like a proper plate of food, please. A clam on a saucer covered in platinum dust shavings is just silly.
Gold dust and platinum dust is indeed silly, and dubiously not truly edible nor healthy. Some molecular gastronomy is utterly stupid, I think, where there's so much faux this or that and fakery. I like good tidbits cooked in good ways.

But, consider that you're there with loved ones or fellow foodies, and in the space of 10+ courses, you get a load of surprises and conversation starters, and you do fill up. It's a whirlwind between courses too, just time enough for a few sips of wine and sharing conversations, then the food just keeps coming. It's a delightful experience if you consider the value of some ingredients, and some of the more time consuming craft foods snuck in there, and killing 3-5 hours of a restaurants turnover of tables, just dining nonstop. I wouldn't and don't eat like that every night, nor at home, where a literal 50 fussy things are prepped and formed, so it's considered a fun respite from the norm. Don't knock it until you try it...with fun people of course.... and the full intention to pair wine tasting and get wasted at the same time. Food is better with some sloshedness and all those alcohol compounds enhancing flavor. This pic, again from Europea, featured some luscious jerky on a clothesline with baby clothespins, ROFL, with some truffle popcorn, goat cheese lollipops, and herby good breadsticks. Fun stuff with before dinner drinks.

>>11241418

Agreed.

It's luxurious. Some people say gold (usually monoatomic) has health properties when consumed. Gold is so malleable that you can cover an entire tennis court with a lump the size of a match box (I've read) so it's not actually that much money to get these little leaves for eating.

It's basically just art.

>>11240799

I'll be your man-bitch for 2 dollars an hour

>"What did he mean by this?"

I think you know what I'm talking about. For 48 dollars a day, plus a room to sleep in, I'll do whatever you want me to do, 24/7, no questions asked.

You ask your butler to beat up two homeless dudes for funnies? Ain't gonna happen. You ask me to do it? Not only will I make it a close fight, I'll make it worth your while. I'll use trashcans, get kicked around for a bit, throw dirt in one of their eyes, go for the collegiate wrestler slam, and limp away from it all with a bloody nose, bruised but victorious.

I can teach you about sports, lifting, boxing, shooting, I can read you one of my many poems from my own personal book of poems that I've written, I can speak with a Scottish, Australian, and Cockney accent, as well as a bad Japanese one, and I can speak Korean fluently.

And "yes", while I may be straight, I can suck your dick, and not only will I say it's a very big penis (humongous, even), I will also compare it to mine, which, unironically, is a very small penis, and puts my penis to shame.

"Oh, but having another man in my house sounds intimidating, and also, aside from his small penis, he sounds like a Proto-Chad. Even if I did say yes, how will I know if his friendship and loyalty isn't just being bought?"

I can assure you, you can quit anytime you like. You can buy me for 2 bucks, or one whole 1 hour, just to see what it's like; and while my purposes may be motivated by money, I can assure you, without any hint of deception, that chances are, I will legitimately consider you my friend (I've been brutally honest about everything I've said so far, I don't intend on lying now). I already kind of consider everyone on 4chan my friends anyway, except for commies, because it's not like I have any other true friends in real life.

I'm a 22 year old straight guy that has nothing else going on in his life and would absolutely be your bitch for 48 dollars a day.

I will do your chores, call your mom, bury your bodies, play your games, suck your dick, be your friend, be your punching bag, speak my mind (if you want), keep my mouth shut (by default), stay out of your way (if you want), guard you like a Faberge egg (by default), be your brawn, be your brains, spoonfeed you, please you, guide you, come inside you, all for the low-low price of 2 dollars an hour, plus rent. Satisfaction guaranteed, or your money back.

Think about the absolute mayhem that would happen on 4chan if you actually did do it and we proved it actually happened. Think about the (You)s. There's so little risk to you as, whereas I'm putting everything on the line here for this one little chance at being your little fucking...man-bitch here, c'mon, what the fuck! You'd be insane not to!

This is not a shitpost, I am not fucked in the head. I know that 48 dollars a day is nothing, and I actually do value my life and dignity, but I know being a literal man-servant to one of the heirs to the richest people in America is way more valuable than 48 bucks an hour and my dignity. That's why I'm advertising myself for so little, not because I'm a genuine S&M slave or something, but because I know if you said "yes", I'd probably be automatically launched 50 steps up on the socio-economic ladder overnight.

C'mon, man. I'll legit be your friend. Just think about it, cause my mind is already made up. I know exactly what I'd bring the moment you said "yes".

Just do it, man. Please, just do it for the lols...

>>11242070
If I actually knew you as an acquaintance, I would do it for free. I mean, that's just shit people do for fun.

Soz guys, been busy today with assignments and travelling.

Anyhow this is the Peking duck we had at the Shang palace - the Shangri La's signature Chinese restaurant. We make a point of visiting the Shang at every city we go to with a Shangri La whether we stay there or not. So far I've been to the Shang (and stayed at the Shangri La) at Singapore, Sydney, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. It never fails to disappoint and it shouldn't, having 1 michelin star to its name.

If you ever head up North towards Nottingham you should go to Sat Baines. Get a table at their nucleus kitchen with your family. Imo best food in the UK atm, with Outlaw a close second.

This whole thread is gauche. That's the sad part about being a chef/ or a successful artist of any kind. Michelin chefs are slaves to gauche rich people who just want to get drunk and snap instagram photos to show how amazing their empty lives are. Most can't appreciate or don't give a shit about the food or are three sheets to the wind before they even taste it.

It's one of the reasons why 2 stars always shine brightest; there's still a deep passion there, they haven't reached a peak and are self motivated. With a few exceptions (bulli when it was still around, rocca now), 2 stars are almost always the best food, and retain the will of the chef. I spent a couple of months driving around Europe a few years ago, going to most of the major 3 stars, and very very few had personality. I think it's also safe to say that France is no longer an innovator in cuisine. The best restaurants were in Denmark, Spain, and Great Britain. And I didn't expect that at all, I mainly traveled by asking the chefs which restaurant I really needed to try and following their advise.

But I reiterate my recommendation to everyone in Bongland to go to restaurant Sat Baines. It's unique, it does not rely on novelty, and it develops its own cuisine on its own terms. This cuisine is technically classical, but its inspirations and palate are very much its own. I think the least pretentious famous 2 star I've been to.

>>11242616
Thank-you, anon, this give me hope.

>>11242616
Mate, Sat, is that you lol?

In all seriousness is it really that good?

*gives

Sat Bains. Food looks amazing.

>>11241030
based

This was from an Italian restaurant with 1 michelin star. The food wasn't quirky, or delicately put together like the others, but still delicious. I think this was sweetbreads.

The better picture quality is because I'm using my brother's Iphone. I lost my 6th Iphone in 2 years so I was on the naughty step making do with a shitty Android.

The chef even came out to greet us and ask us if the food was good. I said it was too salty to troll him lol, but obviously said just kidding after.

>>11242702
Dude, please stop. You're paying a fortune to eat a tiny plate of things you can eat ten times more of for ten times less in any decent restaurant, and it will still be just as delicious.
If you have money, please spend it on something better.

>>11242668
Hah, if only I could cook half as well as him. (Although I don't envy the lives of chefs, looks like stupidly hard word).

I really like it, and would rank it alongside Outlaw, I'm less of a seafood person so Sat wins, for those who prefer seafood I imagine Outlaw would. But I like the man and the place too, very nice produce garden, interesting things going on in their development kitchen, and Sat's down-to-earth and rather open about his food and ideas. So long as he's around I've always been able to sit down for 20 minutes with him, have a coffee, and discuss his food and ideas. I've met few chefs who are so consistently willing to talk about their food with a degree of humbleness I suppose.

And, as the other anon pointed out, Bains*. Embarrassing when you can't spell the name of the man you're shilling.

This was my starter. A great, big ball of cheese with truffle shavings and some red stuff on the side. I asked for a little extra truffle *wink* *wink* *nudge* so I think that's why there's quite a bit lol.

>/a/ and /lit/

i mean, /lit/ might have been half decent before 2015...... but you're probably retarded

>some rich cunt eating horribly overpriced food he can't even manage to identify
This is actually quite depressing.

>>11240791

>>11242714
Our family eats cheap food too - we're just like any other family anon. It's just that when we're on holiday we like to splash out a bit. Truthfully, by the end of it, I often just want an egg and bacon sandwich.

Pic related was my starter at a restaurant that only served Burgundy wine. I think it was artichokes but it really looked beautiful. My shitty android picture doesn't do the latticework and plating justice. It honestly looked almost too good to eat and was absolutely delicious.

I also heard an extremely rich looking Chinese family next door (Prada and Chanel handbags for the women, a massive Audemars watch for the father and the kids wearing £900 Gucci T shirts) asking for Bordeaux wines lmao. They obviously didn't get the memo from whoever their concierge was.

>>11242606
Oahu, Hawaii.

I don't know, man. I don't think it's sad or depressing. That's just what it looks like when someone is being open. You don't normally see people being so vulnerable, so at first it might strike you as a little deranged or moody.

>>11242720
You'll find me in the Tolkien threads on lit and tv. I love high fantasy lore. I come to /ck/ once in a blue moon but really it's all burgers, hot dogs and pizza, which is pretty common and uninteresting.

>>11242616
In looking it up on wikipedia, Sat Baines looks and sounds like a total asshole. No thanks. If I were to go to London I'd plan on patronizing the great offal restaurants like St. John where they're really innovative with offal. Fuck some Sikh Gordon Ramsey wannabee michelin starred dick cheese.

>>11242744
You're living in paradise my friend, I'm sure life isn't so bad in Hawaii. You've got beaches, girls, luaos or whatever they're called. It beats the UK that's for sure.

I would unironically prefer Taco Bell to these memes

>>11242744
Have you been to Golden Pork Tonkotsu Ramen Bar on S King? I love that place.

I think most are missing the point here anyway... your £10 mil.+ fortune isn't impressive, in fact that's a very meager amount. Don't boast about your families worth when there are plenty of others worth equal or even greater amounts than your plebian family.

>>11242784
Wtf? How do you know that place? Are you a Hawaii-fag too? Lmao, hey.

I've been there, it's bree guh.

>>11242759
It's expensive as hell though. However, I do love the beach and the girls. When it comes to girls, I'm spoiled. I don't think I could find better girls anywhere else. Local girls drive me out of my mind. They're going to be the death of me one day, I just know it.

>>11242811
I lived there most of my life. Just moved to the Mainland.

>>11242804
What? How is $10 mil. not impressive? Are you LARP'ing or something?

Can I be your man-bitch for 2 dollars an hour, plus rent?

>>11240791
Is this suppose to be impressive or some shit? every time I travel I would rather go to a hole in the wall shop where someone has been working the kitchen for 30 years and actually has a unique flavor to shit.

>>11242821
£10 mill, so $13 mill in US money. It used to be $18 mill but Brexit has devalued the pound relative to the dollar.

>>11242821
Fucking lol, yeah I'll pay you $2 an hour haha, that's literally nothing

>>11241403
Lol I'm in a similar situation as you, except I'm 30 now and totally over feeling bad, or anything, for getting everything in life for free. Just embrace it and be happy you won't have to toil away wagecucking to pay off a car or house or university. If you don't amount to anything so what, just be a good person and good to your family and don't COMPLETELY fuck up (no jail, no severe drug addiction, etc.) also, don't feel the need for validation from others or that you need to somehow justify your existence/lifestyle. Oh, and if you get a generous cash windfall around your age try not to blow it within the year because you'll never hear the end of it every time you get gifted something, or worse you'll be "gifted" money but it will be jewlocked in a meme account you won't have full access to, or won't be available until x amount of years has passed (although there's still a way to access these but that's for another post on tips on being a bad son.)

>>11240809
He's clearly nouveau riche.

>>11242915
2 dollars an hour for 24/7 equates to $48 an hour. Fuck me, you couldn't find a butler that cheap if you bought them from the Congo. Plus rent too, which means free boarding and stuff.

Are you actually a millionaire? I'm game as hell, let's go. I only ask that you pay for my ticket, but I will literally, unironically do it. You can command me to eat cactus and I will fucking do it. I'm roaring, let's do this.

>>11241407

Your man-bitch can do basic math. That was just a typo.

>>11240791
i've got no investments going for me but i have a government job which i heard if you sit on you can retire in 25 years (im 23 now) but how does this explosion of money just happen? i always want to experience these things but i just know in my heart that it will never happen because i suck and wasn't born into it.

>>11243078
My Dad took a risk and formed his own company. He worked 80+ hour weeks for years on end and still works all of Saturday and Sunday morning. I think you need to have some sort of drive in order to become a multi millionaire and a screw loose to become a billionaire. Those people just have something innate which 99.9% of the population lack.

>>11243149
that's what i always thought, too. not everyone is meant to be at the top like that.

It’s for this reason I’m glad I was raised by poor parents. Never had a palette for this fancy crap. Give me a pub steak and chips with a nice beer any day.

>>11240947

ten million is jack shit

>>11243185
£10 million is $13 million. I went to school with kids whose parents were literal billionaires, but even I'm self aware enough and have enough perspective to know anything over £2 million ($3 million) liquid is some serious spondulicks.

>>11243178
I like that too anon. There's nothing better than going down to my local pub and having a fish and chips on a lazy Saturday afternoon. I don't eat this stuff every day, I'd get sick of it.

>>11243290
Peking duck is special occasion and banquet tier food. Where did you get the idea that it was for poor people? Are you mixing it up with caviar?

>>11240861

That’s more like it.

I don't understand rich people food. why spend $400+tip for food that doesn't even look like food? I'd rather eat at that chinese guy's food stall with 1 star.

>>11243202
Nice to know Anon. Tbh I tried several high end restaurants when in Paris (including the one on the Eiffel Tower) and I just couldn’t get into it. I ended up eating exclusively at those Turk hole in the wall places. Fuck that was some good food.

Op, if you don't even know the name it means it was not that great of an experience.

Next time go to the Fat Duck in London or the Osteria Francescana of Bottura, and the we can talk like grown up manchildren.

There's michelin and michelin, and Bottura (I think he's officially worlwide recognized as THE best chef at the moment) can cook at any level, whether it is "haute cuisine" or just a simple sausage ragout with white wine and scallion.

Don't flaunt your bad taste, that golden leaf... it shows them.

>>11241030
Yup, that's about right.

It was summer and for most of these meals I was pretty sloshed mate, cut me some slack.

Fucking hell the amount of bullshit assmaddery in this thread is frankly embarrassing lads. Actually just saw a post saying they'd prefer taco bell over going to one of these restaurants. Have a word with yourselves.

>>11245254
Taco bell is rated #1 restaurant in america, so preferring to go there over a michelin starred restroom is a reasonable and expected opinion

>>11245334
I...I can't even be bothered. Enjoy your slop you pig.

the place is close now though
it had the best sunday brunch with things like scottish smoked salmon with caviar

20 plates of tiny portions of weird shit from around the world. this isn't rich people food, it's fancy food. true rich people food will always mean giant fucking banquet tables covered in obscure foods of cruel and unusual origin. you don't see that at restaurants. there aren't many restaurants that are out of the price range of the middle class
