Mezcal & Tacos in Oslo: Chef's Night Out with Maaemo
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 08. 2015
- You would expect a chef who runs one of the world's top 50 restaurants-serving some of the most meticulously crafted dishes you ever seen-to be very professional, if not uptight. That's not to say that Esben Holmboe Bang of Maaemo isn't professional, but after a night out with him, we can most definitely say he is not uptight.
We start things off at Maaemo for a couple of beers with friends, then head out to Taco Republica for some of the best Mexican food in Oslo-and a ton of mezcal. Next stop is Arakataka for more traditional Norwegian cuisine, followed by No. 19 for cocktails and Norwegian folk metal. We then end the night at home sweet home, Maaemo, for a feast of sheep ribs. Enjoy this very boozy and funny adventure through Oslo.

I'm Mexican and to the Norwegians making those tacos, they look great!!!
No way man, just look at the tortillas! The tortillas! D:
The volume is way too low
+thesofakillers Thank god, i thought i had to bin my headphones
I'm glad someone else noticed this. 👌🏻
thesofakillers Dam haha thanks for the heads up, I thought it was my headphones or something.
+thesofakillers LOL, So true, bro. i thought for sure i had to give my headphones to a bum or something, hahahaha. HOLY SHIT.
WHAT!?
I’m impressed by the currant dessert they showed in the beginning. Looks like some high level creative cooking.
I’m Mexican from LA and yes those tacos look authentic
I'm Mexican and I approve those tacos they did a good attempt
why is this video so grey? is oslo that gloomy?
bluh gurg yes ive been there its awful.
Hallgeir Bakken gloomy and foggy are not the same thing
bluh gurg Like the guy said, it's mid February in Norway....
Looks like it was shot in a superflat profile and the editors got lazy with production.
+bluh gurg Scandinavia
When is the new episode of Fuck That's Delicious ?
I thought this was a chill episode that didn't need too much crazy stuff
Voted the best young chef in the world. Maaemo rocks.
Esos pinches tacos si se ven mexicanos! :D
As a Norwegian, this is pretty spot on. Fine dining will cost you $150 per person by the time you leave... mind you, this is the only country in the world where you can pay $150 for food and still be let down. Then you have tacos which has become our national dish at this point, but if you want to eat that at a restauraunt it will be $40 each by the time you're done. You go to a bar to grab some drinks, but each drink will cost you $10 and it'll be sloppy as fuck. To top it off, Esben decided to show the world the best Norway has to offer: Stick meat and cabbage. If the prices and weather wasn't depressive enough, the cab ride home will cost you another $50. Welcome to Norway.
Wow! As a Norwegian that grew up in Oslo and a fan of muchies, I have to say this episode was a total let down. It's a shame really, Norway in general has so much to offer and there are so much more to the city of Oslo than what was shown here.
Definitely not one of the good ones sir..
I always find it really funny when somebodys parent name them the first and last name the same- WTF?? Hendrick Hendrickson??!!😂💝
i love muchies especially chefs night out because they are regular af but serve their food in formal setting
Wow, their English is super natural sounding. Very impressive.
I don't think I want to eat trees and branches, I'm getting some tacos.
I´m Mexican and just watching the style and how look those tacos , I can say .... approve those tacos.... POLLO and CARNE ASADA is the better.
lol the guy trying to put his jacket on in the #19 conversation.
As I'm watching this it just keeps reminding me that I cannot afford to go to any of these places. Norway is too damn expensive.
What's broke to you? You prolly make $20 an hour talking bout broke.
weirdofrompluto Norwegian or not, michelin-starred restaurants rarely give good value for money
***** What's "value" to you? If you mean quantity, then go to McD, it's cheap and has good "value" for your money. Most people don't understand that you're supposed to have an experience in places like this, it's not about getting full right off.
Jimmylqd The food is brilliant and well thought out, and you do get full. You also have the expertise of the staff at your disposal when it comes to pairing wines with the food. I'm simply arguing that the average person is better off going to somewhere like that taco-place, rather than maaemo. You pay hundreds of dollars for a meal, and it can only be so brilliant.
Dave I make exactly ZERO dollars an hour as I don't have a job. I'm a full time master's student at the moment, who doesn't get any assistance from the Norwegian government cause I'm a foreigner. But thanks :P
Not the most exciting Chef's night out, but really nice to see my country getting some attention. :) Should have been there in the summer though. :/
The sound was the best part
Tacos & Beer ......That's So H-Town!
Norwegians are the best drinking buddies to hang around with!
god damn it munchies you always make me so hungry, but thats also why i love you ;)
Much love to Norway! Need to visit if i'm ever in Oslo! Saludos from a Mexican.
It's always interesting to see the take on mexican food in other parts of the world. It may not be authentic but it speaks volumes as to how great it is. Viva Mexico putos!
Cabbage and a sticky sparerib... Really?! .......
m nguyen It's not comparable to spareribs, it's traditional Norwegian food and it's fucking delicious.
+m nguyen Its lamb ribs, nothing similar to spareribs.
m nguyen its a traditional norwegian dish from back in the days when we were a poor country and had to make food of what we had.
+m nguyen its fucking awesome dude! and I'm a norwegian chef that hates the norwegian food but pinnekjøtt (sticky spareribs) is heaven!
I'm from Mexico City and I gotta tell you those tacos look pretty authentic, probably taste a little different but from the looks you can't really tell the difference from the real thing, when I get to Norway I'll definetely go there
Haha, I`m not sure why people are always complaining. I thought this was one of the better ones in terms of the food and getting absolutely sloshed.
Will there ever be a new "Fuck, That's Delicious" with Action Bronson?!
Those baby goat looked really good and authentic
weird seeing munchies in Norway..
What a bunch of vegetable lasagnas.
That goat taco looked good. They even had salsa limon and onion
These guys were funny to me - more of this, please!
That one cherry blonde dude is definitely Erik from "Ragnarok" on Netflix!! Tell me im wrong!
Tacos and Mezcal in Norway....
Yeah... didn't see that one coming.
yum now I want tacos.
The bartender looked and sounded like Emma Stone
He's a very good drunk to be fair.
10:48 i feel you man
I LOVE NORWAY!!!! One of my favorite countries in Europe!!
Njal Njallson with dat Viking era reference doe
That was a really good attempt of mexican tacos, normally the tinga goes with tostadas, but you don't expect people of other countries like Norway do exactly the same as we do.
Tacos look delicious
Except for the egg on the tacos and tostadas, they look very similar to the tacos in Mexico.
I liked it
Munchies. Love your videos, but the audio is always so quiet!
Tacos looked good 😌 from a hispanic Texan
Those look like legit tacos
ARAKATAKA is absolutely amazing. Had a 5 course meal there and almost cried from the desert because it was so good. Aaand, great cocktails at No. 19 as well as taco's at Republica. All of these are more or less on the same block. Yes, the vid was a little gloomy - someone forgot to color correct and adjust volume it seems. Just cut, encoded and uploaded. Oslo is truly a love/hate city. My own relationship with that place changes literally from year to year.
Yesss, it is expenz, but it's not THAT bad if you're comparing to fancy places elsewhere. A full main course at a fancy place will run you about $30-40, and a 5-course around $60-100. A 3.5hr dinner at Maaemo is like $3-400, but then again it's supposedly one of the world's best restaurants, and more of an experience for connoisseurs than a dinner. We have crazy alcohol taxes, so that's what will kill your wallet really. A pint of random lager will be from $8-12, but the craft beers are not that more expensive and they've become very popular the last few years. A cocktail will run you $14-18. The thing is, whether it's a fancy place or a shitty place, the prices are usually the same - so choose carefully.
However, Oslo DOES in deed have the notoriously hot Scandinavian women, perfectly equal to Stockholm or Copenhagen if you go to the right places. I'd say the Norwegian ones are more natural though, less make-up (and just as drunk as the guys...). At the end of the day, the only reason you would wanna go to Norway is to experience 1. Nature, 2. Women, 3. Serenity.
No fun night....lol lol food..drinks! The company's of friends
In the end what didt the guy answer when the chef said ''i didt get it" ..?
taco... egg?
That's not a taco. That's what's called a toastada, I believe.
+Chris Lundquist Yes, that is called tostada. And in the central region of México is normal to eat tacos with egg, tough it usually has rice too.
@@xtizocx tacos with egg and potatoe probably, but its not thaaat common.
I imagine this is the restaurant that Schproket dines at on the regular.
Egg on a taco....please.
In Mexico you can put anything you want in a Tortilla.
in certain regions of Mexico, hard boil eggs are added to certain types of tacos
Breakfast tacos?
wow there's more pretension here than in an arcade fire gig.
Audio is way to low!!
Really low audio or just my phones?
When norwegians make something more mexican than taco bell
that fucking egg LOL
Whole world: Could we please PLEASE do just one video on Norway without the stereotypical Grieg music?
Munchies: Nice try. Roll the Grieg!
0:37 The Black Metal scene.
the best chef night out was with that han guy
What's the name of that song playing during the second part of the Mexican restaurant? Shazam doesn't work on it
why does city seem empty?
norwegians always pretend they don't remember the day after a big booze fest! hahaha it's always so funny
Do something on San Diego
Totally approved by a mexican ❤️❤️
Is Chef Knight Danish in Oslo?
"Expuestas a un roce continuo, dos almas tienen la posibilidad de perfeccionarse hasta el máximo pulimento, o de reducirse a polvo" - Juan José Arreola
Ironically a quite boring Chef's Night Out..
e Lu Oslo is a quite boring place...
e Lu Exactly what i was thinking, you cant force that shit!
e Lu damn true
+DiggingNorway I was in Oslo last month. Indeed it is a boring city however, I had a blast in Alesund.
lol scandinavia is boring
Next time you drink Mezcal, take lil sips, that way you don't get F***ed up but enjoy the taste.
ininits could you recommend a good mezcal?
+Jakey Bow 100% agave.
***** I really like a brand called "Pierde Almas" rich in flavor an kind of smooth.
there is no better tasting taco when it just have raw onion and cilantro and lime its the best.....
que rico
Wow! those tacos looks good.. we call those kinda tacos , street tacos..
Taco with cinnamon!? I've never tasted something like that (by the way i'm mexican)
Cochinita pibil y carnitas llevan canela. Aprende no sea ignorante e inculta. No se exponga a quedar en ridiculo .
wow I'm Mexican and those tacos actually look like Mexican tacos
Henrick Henricksen...thats a real Norwegian name. xD
Spaghetto oO If it was Henrik Henriksen I would agree.
***** Ah okay thanks man...im from germany and here is "Henrick", the most common way to spell this name. (sorry for bad english btw.^^)
holy shit this one put me to fucking sleep
Oslo....could be fun
Xavier Toussaint it's not. lived there for 3 months.
+sunny aalami Can't speak for Oslo but Norway has got some of the most amazing natural scenery you'll find anywhere. Lots of stuff to see and experience as long as one doesn't mind being on the road a lot...
awww that's cute
not even for a visit no pros or cons?
What was fried in blood? I did not hear it ,it was around 6:50
+2eatspam Jerusalem artichokes
am i deaf or did someone fuck up the volume
For what I saw those tacos look pretty much as they do it here in mexico pretty authentic shit right there just with exception of the egg on the taco that was odd........So chef yes thats how they do it in mexico
*Skåååååååååål !!!!!!!!*
you need to sip mezcal not take it as a shot
I prepare the best tacos! That chef is kinda hooot! anyone knows who is he?
There are a lot of clichéd music and sounds on Vice these days. I don't mind having music and sound and stuff, but own it. I don't laugh when repeated musical jokes that everyone has heard a jizzillion times before are accentuated at the end of a night out. Instead, I imagine some group of managers telling each other it's funny so that they can justify their own paychecks. That song at the end has been used since before I was a kid, and I ain't young.
The food, however, looked totally amazing, as did the booze. High-end Nordic cuisine is on a whole other level.
volume is way too low....
This one is boring
+c.b Same here, shot himself in the foot with the remark at the beginning. Boriiinng.
Yup
Fiinsk people complain about everything: too hipster, too crazy, too loud, too poor, too much coke, too boring. just enjoy the damn video
+Austin Do shut up
good to know what to give hipsters to eat
Bartender? More like baetender. Hot damn
I think I just fell in to a depression watching this ideo
Mic check
It's so funny that they have to speak English when all of them are Norwegian... xD
Norge!
I'm intrigued by this "salted sheep". Do Norwegians preserve entire sheep in salt?
+David Slone Only the part of the sheep that we use for these kind of dishes, at least in these days. In the old times this is how we preserved our meat during the winter, hence why salted sheep is one of our traditional christmas dishes! It sounds kind of dull, but the taste is amazing
if they served me that shit at the end of the night i would have been pissed!
+Ya Bish Oh you have no idea what you're missing out on. That "stick meat" as it's called is some of the most epic food ever.
BattleCheese2* but its so little tho
***** ye i have that shit every christmas in oslo
who did the art at 0:37?
That's me
Wow! It's absolutely wonderful!
