It may be good education to slurp the noodles, but those munchie sounds while speaking are soooo disgusting. I agree with you, the chef must be thinking enjoy it quietly you moron XD
killbodies34 sushi isn't a "fast food", If u wanna make a delicious sushi, u need to pay more attention on the steps of choosing the fish and the rice.
An apprentice of the legendary Jiro Ono. Even the restaurant is a replica of Jiro's, truly the greatest sushi chef of the past 100 years if not the greatest sushi chef ever.
***** Where did you get that from? Sushi is eaten cold, that's the reason why you haven't seen any japanese women preparing sushi, because their hands are too warm. (traditional rule)
Otaku Dragon, Your lack of social professionalism is beyond the charts. Ultimate hypocrisy is stained all over you. I hope you are joking. Because Eldo Baidowi speaks the truth. And learn to properly insult for right reasons.
damn ... he smells food before eating ... It should be called primivite launch with sushi master . Noone smells food , it looks like he checks if it is fresh . SO PRIMITIVE . WHERE IS KETCHUP?
actually the PERFECT guy for this review, and that sushi chef is lucky to have him. ANDREW ZIMMERN is a world famous chef. He owns his OWN restaurants, he's an EXPERT chef/culinary genius, a food show, personality/director/producer, entrepreneur, has wriiten books, he's a journalist and has traveled the world, and he's a teacher. People say he's one of the most influential celebrity chefs in the world! Do some research dude.
+Lucas Ng I can "cook" the same shit at home. Actually, what is there to cook? Lol. BTW - Whatever happened to "Blowfish" because I would like to see the Master Chef mess up...
+Roman Romero Whatever dude... (With your highly sophisticated response, you clearly have some soul searching to do.) There is no fucking relationship between fish and chef.
Just shows peoples passion for cultural foods. I WANNA TRY IT!!;) Lol his face after he takes every bite and description of the food taste!:) I am a lover of food and I wanna try this lol not just anywhere but a sushi master:)
Daniel Choy Everything is psicological my friend , mind is the most powerfull tooll, we think our mind an thoughts are pontless, but actually they create our reality.
I mean all of these people saying how hes putting his elbows on the table and smelling the food, not mentioning rice, etc etc. None of the mentioned the fact that he pointed his pinky at the chef at the end. In Asian countries pointing the pinky is equivalent to the middle finger but with a more insulting connotation. So much RIP
It's good to know by the time I get to japan Jiro's legacy will live on in his apprentices. I immediately recognized Jiro's style in this chef. The very least the host could have done was dressing a little more formal/casual in respect to the chef who's clearly passionate at what he does for a living.
+Daniel Czarnik its kindve true though, if you have the sushi cold it will taste different then if he prepared it with his barehands. (him preparing it with his hands is obviously the better choice)
Sushi is all about small details including the warmth of chef's hand. Japanese culture is mostly about finding beauty in details that can be overlooked but appreciated if found out.
Maybe the Japanese should un-clench a little bit. This guy is heaping praise on every single food item that comes out. He clearly loves both the food and the experience. I understand Japanese manners differ from Western, but come on.
***** He is a guest in this sushi diner and it should be an honor for him. Therefor it's expected to respect the other culture and to inform yourself...
Zsame thing I thought Its simply disgusting seeing him eat with his hands.. Where the fuck you think you are? And plus he looks like Hank from Breaking Bad
People complaining that the American had his elbow on the table and was sniffing the food but I just saw a video where Rene interviewed Jiro and his son and Jiro's son had his elbow on the table and Rene was also sniffing his food And in both videos, I didn't get the slightest hint that the Japanese sushi chefs were mad. Plus, I went to Jiro's last year and saw no hostility towards such manners. So...I think it's fine.
I highly respect Japanese culture, but all these self righteous people in the comments acting as if this dude is yelling at the chef and calling his food dogshit are dumb. He's foreign, and he's also paying to keep that man's restaurant open. He can eat however the fuck he wants..
Xiia0Sn00pY Yes, if you can taste the difference between direct touch and touch with rice, enjoy it. But as I said anywhere else, dipping in soy sauce and putting into mouth with twisted arm is difficult or risky if you use chopsticks.
Sushi is one of those types of cuisine that is actually fairly easy to learn how to do on a basic level, but takes literally decades to become a master. It's all about gut feeling, knowing exactly how thick each cut of fish should be, exactly the right amount of Wasabi and Ginger, and getting the rice absolutely perfect. People think it's easy to make Sushi on this level, and they are very wrong.
You shouldn't smell the Nigiri or the Sashimi, it's very disrespectful. What is says to a true chef is that you don't trust the fish is fresh. It is culture to not smell the fish before you consume it. Please be more respectful.
Old comment BUT, for americans it shows that he not only wants to try the food, but wants to feel the whole experience in smelling and feeling the food. This shows FOR AMERICANS a higher respect to the cook.
I mean, at least tell him "eat the piece of sushi with the fish side twoards the tongue" I'm not asking for a full course of sushi tradition and etiquette :'(
+JJames666male Who the fuck cares. He's not trying to be disrespectful, not everyone has to act the exact same way and no there are no rules to eating. If a chef discriminated against eating techniques then he'd be a shit chef.
NickLiang Rice is pretty much carb/starch filler in sushi just like bread and potatoes in other countries. I'm not saying the rice is unimportant, though.
Well, you guys are entitled to your opinions but I would respectfully point out that no sushi chef in Japan would agree with that. I've been to Japan about 5 times and every chef I've spoken to takes much more pride in his rice than in his fish.
Daniel Kim Completely agree. My Uncle is a Sushi Chef and he never lets me forget, Sushi is rice, when he first trained he was required to wash and cook rice for 3 years before he was allowed to touch the fish. The marinade, quality of rice, combination of different grains and technique used to cook the rice is what defines a Sushi chef.
NickLiang Couldn't agree more. What is Sushi without Rice? To all those who don't give a shit about rice in sushi, then watch a sashimi video. By the way, Japan has the best variety of rice in the world for me.
+Ryan Du I agree, I never understood how that's supposed to be rude. I mentioned in my own comment too that it's a bar counter, not a high table. The counter in front of him is low to his chest, so it would be awkward to not be able to put your entire forearm on it.
Wtf is wrong with this people? Why get angry at the guy when he's doing a pretty good job? No manners? Putting his elbow in the table is very normal! It has nothing to do with his manners. He's a critic so smelling the food before eating it is a sign respect for the cook! It means appreciation! Smell, taste, texture, visual and craftsmanship! All of it! If I was the chef and some people eat my food just to satisfy or appease his/her hunger! Then I would be annoyed! If that restaurant prohibits putting elbows in the table and smelling the food! Then that's the restaurant not respecting the customers private space and freedom! To be comfortable while eating good food is a must for the customers!
Being an Asian person myself I have to disagree with you because there are some manners style that to me are unnecessary and not a big deal like the one you said with elbows on the table.
Wanlop Anongchanya Maybe it's unnecessary for you and the culture you grew up on, but it's not for Japanese culture. For instance, for us Japanese, slurping noodles isn't a big deal at all. More like it's the right manner, but for Americans, you know. So it's not for you to decide that Japanese elbow thing is necessary or not for Japanese. I see what you were trying to say tho.
Just to let you know if I can select which race I want to be I would either pick Thai (as I am right now) or Japanese, Korean, and Hawaiian. Love these races. But Japanese foods is number 1 in my list. Japanese and Korean women are the hottest. And Hawaiian so I can born and live there forever lol love Hawaii Islands. Never been to Japan and Korea but I will one day. I can't RIP if I don't visit those two counties.
Ihaba S That andrew zimmern just keeped shooking his head for 14 fucking seasons random saying "delicious", "fantastic", and the same words every time, regardless of what he was disgustingly chewing on his mouth, from penises of random exotic animals to street food to a fucking soup of blood and dirt (season 4, episode 1, tanzania). It's despicable watching he eating a delicate and delicious food like sushi (this in particular made by one of the best sushi chef in the world) in that rough manner and having the same reaction of when he ate that soup. I too believe, SINCERELY, that he's enjoying that sushi, but those manners get anyone really pissed off. Just look at the face of the chef at 0:42, he REALLY wants to ram his samurai sword down his fat ass throat.
kira yoshikage There are many grades of Sushi restaurant.Price range are very wide.(Quality is also)I recommend $50 class Sushi. It's enough to satisfing for almost Japanese.Gotham Knight is not telling a lie.But it's Ginza price.
Seeing all of these comments about how apparently rude and disrespectful the host was makes someone who is not used to eating sushi (like me) nervous to try it because I might disgrace the sushi chef or something. I think you guys need to calm down just a tad and realize that he is from a different culture, and no disrespect was intended. He just wanted to eat some good food man
He has his elbows on the table, talks with his mouth full, refers to the chef in third person when he's right there, and eats the sushi wrong (the least offensive thing). Pretty rude if you ask me
I don't know man, I just wasn't convinced Zimmerman truly loved it.. or even liked it! he kept doing weird faces and his reactions were really delayed.
Uni Midna He also makes those faces. He probably literally had an orgasm eating food like this after having to eat octopus sperm cereal or chicken blood milkshakes or whatever the hell else this show can dig up for him
Uni Midna It's a show. I'm sure he had to hold it until the camera sets up perfectly and then enjoy it. Unlike most of the bozos in this comment section, he is indeed a chef. He can appreciate high caliber food as much as he can appreciate the poor finding nutrition where they can.
Although i am jealous, im just pointing out basic facts. Hasn't your mother taught you any table manners? He literally has both elbows on the table, while speaking (with food in his mouth). Though i don't expect someone who dehumanizes another for a simple statement, without regarding facts to be educated or logical, you should still learn to spot simple things that make ones argument valid.
it is somewhat disrespectful to sniff the sushi, but the guy is a food critic and that is their job. also i have a soft spot for him because i use to watch his show :)
He looks, sounds and acts like Hank from Breaking Bad.
ikr😂😂😂
+Sullendust Andrew Zimmern is great.
+Sullendust Exactly! I thought it's the actor himself doing some sushi programme.
+Sullendust maybe looks. Hank is a hardass and wouldn't say like 90% of the artsy stuff this guy says, and Hanks voice is far far deeper and harsher.
+Sullendust
Hank sells sushi and sushi accessories.
The chef looks like "just eat, you talk too much".
A very fine observation BLT.
It may be good education to slurp the noodles, but those munchie sounds while speaking are soooo disgusting. I agree with you, the chef must be thinking enjoy it quietly you moron XD
noemi esther garcia argudo There's needs to be a sign:
slurping allowed
munching prohibited.
hahaha
lol
I bet he'll give same comment when he eats macdonalds
Yep
Ikejo Mitsuki Mac is good food too. that's why it is so popular.
PimpMyPeon good but not good for your health
Ikejo Mitsuki Sushi was meant to be fast food
killbodies34 sushi isn't a "fast food", If u wanna make a delicious sushi, u need to pay more attention on the steps of choosing the fish and the rice.
That sushi chef don't look too happy
chef looks disgusted serving this guy lol
Titeillest couldn't agree more myself if I was the chef
*That's a former student of his you idiot.*
Probably because he is using his fingers to eat when the freaking' chop sticks are right in front of him...
You don't use chopsticks for sushi.
oochie Lmao, you're so dumb...
An apprentice of the legendary Jiro Ono. Even the restaurant is a replica of Jiro's, truly the greatest sushi chef of the past 100 years if not the greatest sushi chef ever.
From the future, Jiro didn't retired yet but, his apprentice retired
No. Takashi Saito is better. His restaurant is far superior to Jiro’s.
Mizutani was supposed to be better than Jiro
0:46 Thats the biggest scallop I've ever seen!
WELL, they are giant scallops
he eats all in 1 fukin bite ! lmao
cayogator that's how you eat sushi bruh
i didnt sat that, ha ha
same... I guess they love him at the market, he does get the best stuff.
The former apprentice of the legendary Jiro in the documentary. LOL
Really? What documentary is this?
Bigtasty28 Jairo dreams of sushi
Ryan Shin
Jiro*
Smerky Def must've been an auto-correct...but yes "Jiro" :P
MMmmm the warmth of his hands....
Jiro was his teacher
I only know jiro who named dog..you know dog,jiro?
sunshine kitty Jiro is the best sushi chef in the world, not a dog lmao
ITT: People who have no fucking idea who Andrew Zimmern is.
STOP SNIFFING THE SUSHI, YOU'RE INSULTING THE CHEF!!!
It's a video dog.... Try again
lmao the warmth of his hands..
ikr, i think thats nasty, i would rather eat cold food than food from someones warm and sweaty hand lol
***** Where did you get that from? Sushi is eaten cold, that's the reason why you haven't seen any japanese women preparing sushi, because their hands are too warm. (traditional rule)
This guy has the table manners of an eight year old at a pizza party. How about you wipe the smirk off your face and show a little grace and respect
I love this guy, dude loves to eat and conversation.
Wrong guy for this type of restaurant review...
Agreed. This dudes straight up blue collar trump supporting uneducated hick
Otaku Dragon,
Your lack of social professionalism is beyond the charts.
Ultimate hypocrisy is stained all over you. I hope you are joking.
Because Eldo Baidowi speaks the truth. And learn to properly insult for right reasons.
damn ... he smells food before eating ... It should be called primivite launch with sushi master .
Noone smells food , it looks like he checks if it is fresh . SO PRIMITIVE . WHERE IS KETCHUP?
actually the PERFECT guy for this review, and that sushi chef is lucky to have him. ANDREW ZIMMERN is a world famous chef.

Andrew Zimmerman has forgotten more than you know about food. LOL...The fact that he's sitting there is proof that he's a boss. Get a life kid.
This guy's a former apprentice of Jiro.
dKim Jiro? = Yoda in the sushi world
Son
that chef works his ass off!
Tarik Smith Not really. I can still see it on his body.
fink plaid
i see what you did there
fink plaid Don't look at the chef's ass ..
+fink plaid you NEVER loot at a chef's ass! just butt out man
overlex lol "butt out" what are we doing ass puns now
holy shit, he ate it like it was a burger. even i can feel the hati of being disgraced feels that struck the chef
Wow the sushi looks amazing!!! love your videos!!!!
It looks so beautiful
As I recall, this sushi chef trained under Jiro Ono.
yep, that's him
it's his son if i remember correctly
Andrea Dessì yes one of 2
Yes, Mizutani was Jiro's apprentice. Mizutani even said that he respects Jiro so much that he won't sleep with his feet facing his mentor.
He would make the same expressions and comments at mcdonalds
He's tasted more foods worldwide than you probably have your whole life.
+MrArticSwing for being a fatass? I guess so lmao
+Xino SJ that doesn't make any sense lol
he basically has the same impressions when eating all sorts of bizarre foods. for example fried bugs lol
King Jo Music this guy would even claim that a mcchicken is " succulent"
Squid don't have bones, it's cartilage.
MaZEEZaM you must be super fun at party dude
This guy looks like he teaches people about a thing he dont have any idea about .
for some reason, watching this guy eat alone in a sushi house seems depressing, as if im watching him drink alone in a bar
The relationship between the fish and the chef
I smell bullshit lmao
+Lucas Ng It is.
+Lucas Ng I can "cook" the same shit at home. Actually, what is there to cook? Lol. BTW - Whatever happened to "Blowfish" because I would like to see the Master Chef mess up...
+Lucas Ng smells fishy O_o
then you are an idiot
+Roman Romero Whatever dude... (With your highly sophisticated response, you clearly have some soul searching to do.) There is no fucking relationship between fish and chef.
Fucking off-duty Bald Chief Wiggum.
Just shows peoples passion for cultural foods. I WANNA TRY IT!!;) Lol his face after he takes every bite and description of the food taste!:) I am a lover of food and I wanna try this lol not just anywhere but a sushi master:)
Honey was not made for the donkey's mouth
I wonder how much of this is psychological. i mean if they served shit will the host be going, wow, he serves exquisite shit.
Daniel Choy Everything is psicological my friend , mind is the most powerfull tooll, we think our mind an thoughts are pontless, but actually they create our reality.
A rain man cannot predict the weather. A rain man can only make the clouds cry.
Respect to the MasterChef
I mean all of these people saying how hes putting his elbows on the table and smelling the food, not mentioning rice, etc etc. None of the mentioned the fact that he pointed his pinky at the chef at the end. In Asian countries pointing the pinky is equivalent to the middle finger but with a more insulting connotation. So much RIP
do you expect everybody knows about everything from other country?
It's good to know by the time I get to japan Jiro's legacy will live on in his apprentices. I immediately recognized Jiro's style in this chef. The very least the host could have done was dressing a little more formal/casual in respect to the chef who's clearly passionate at what he does for a living.
***** True. Took 3 seconds to think of Jiro.
Warbird Phoenix this guy probably got offended when they told him he had to put on a shirt to go in this amazing place
mizutani-san one of the oldest sukibayashi jiro's aprentice. many critics says his sushi are better than the old master
man seems to be enjoying his meal
Every time this guy eats something good like this is the most satisfying sort of thing, just how much enjoyment he gets from it
The wormth of his hands bring out the tast what the hell
Andrew is kind of a fuck up
+Daniel Czarnik its kindve true though, if you have the sushi cold it will taste different then if he prepared it with his barehands. (him preparing it with his hands is obviously the better choice)
Sushi is all about small details including the warmth of chef's hand. Japanese culture is mostly about finding beauty in details that can be overlooked but appreciated if found out.
he's eating so good, you're just watching it.
Lucky guy. I love watching your show in TLC.
I feel very sorry for this master in his element, for hanging out with such a rude and clueless guy... wow
He seems like a very appreciative diner to me. And somewhat knowledgeable about fresh fish.
Look around in the comments, according to japanese manners many things are wrong.
Maybe the Japanese should un-clench a little bit. This guy is heaping praise on every single food item that comes out. He clearly loves both the food and the experience. I understand Japanese manners differ from Western, but come on.
***** He is a guest in this sushi diner and it should be an honor for him. Therefor it's expected to respect the other culture and to inform yourself...
Zsame thing I thought
Its simply disgusting seeing him eat with his hands..
Where the fuck you think you are?
And plus he looks like Hank from Breaking Bad
zimmern should be able to enjoy this high quality sushi to the max. after all, he basically knows the entire spectrum of flavours
did anyone realise how talkative the sushi master is? god damn
I really love the idea and sushi. I just live in America and I'm so used to cooked food. Uncooked meat though is so much more nutritional
ok youtube i watched it, YOU HAPPY NOW!!!!
rem best girl fu
***** rem has way more character development lm emilia is just a bitch
Gummifruitti RS thats why rem waifu

All the squid bones perfectly extracted
fish side down dude, always fish side down
shuwukong
It is when you dip Sushi in soy sauce.
Kitty George and also when you put into the mouth
Kitty George when you eat it, the fish is supposed to face your tongue.
Xiia0Sn00pY
Yes, if you can taste the difference between direct touch and touch with rice, enjoy it. But as I said anywhere else, dipping in soy sauce and putting into mouth with twisted arm is difficult or risky if you use chopsticks.
Kitty George You're not supposed to eat sushi with chopsticks. You eat it with your hand.
Looks real fishy Hank.

You shouldn't smell the Nigiri or the Sashimi, it's very disrespectful. What is says to a true chef is that you don't trust the fish is fresh. It is culture to not smell the fish before you consume it. Please be more respectful.
jesus who cares. don't make such fuss about it.
Test Subject No, you shut up bitch :)
So if someone came to your resturaunt, disected what ever food you were making, and was sniffing it with a disgusted face. you wouldnt be mad?
+Caden jackson if he paid I don't care what he does with the food
Old comment BUT, for americans it shows that he not only wants to try the food, but wants to feel the whole experience in smelling and feeling the food. This shows FOR AMERICANS a higher respect to the cook.
y r yall bashing on the dude, hes jus enjoying it
Every real sushi shokunin chooses and buys his fish personally, it's 50% of the resulting quality of his product.
This guy used to be Jiro's apprentice. You can see him talk about Jiro in the documentary "Dreams of Sushi"
The RICE is the most important part of sushi.
oopopp x
You are a Sushi gourmet.
Someone could've taught him how to eat sushi properly before performing this monstrosity in front of one of the best Taisho in the world
I mean, at least tell him "eat the piece of sushi with the fish side twoards the tongue"
I'm not asking for a full course of sushi tradition and etiquette :'(
+JJames666male Who the fuck cares. He's not trying to be disrespectful, not everyone has to act the exact same way and no there are no rules to eating. If a chef discriminated against eating techniques then he'd be a shit chef.
+JJames666male Not once in a video have I ever seen anyone eat it that way....your fingers secure the fish around the rice so it doesn't fall
+JJames666male a lot of butthurt feel on you...
***** You can use your hands if you can't use Chopsticks....
Lord Varys has a travel show lol
this bald chubby guy is super cute when he rolls his eyes and shows a face of "hey yo dont be jealous, guys!"
Haters think they're sushi experts.
No they just know this bald fat fuck is disrespecting the sushi master
It apparent this guy has no idea about sushi, not once did he talk about the rice....

wow so many angry weaboos
KillerTapeworm Tapeworm
You must be hallucinating because I don’t see any
Wtf is wrong with this people? Why get angry at the guy when he's doing a pretty good job? No manners? Putting his elbow in the table is very normal! It has nothing to do with his manners.

+Joshua Hults exactly, I'd rather eat beef jerky than sushi

The way he ate sushi is wrong

I do not speak English*
+Cuzmonaut Suckmeov thank you!
:D
i like sushi too :)
Sushi is gr8 :D
Why is everyone mad at him?
they're mad at his manners but I think he's doing a nice job of at least complimenting the chef...
He is a shitty commentator.
he sniffs the food, sucks at commentating, has a slappable face and is just annoying, and gets facts wrong.
when a sushi chef is making sushi for you . you cant waste time sniffing the food because it wont taste the same
Anthony Fragomeni Being nice and complimenting is one thing, having bad manners and no clue of japanese culture/ cooking at all is another thing...
1:51 "Extraordinary. Just the warmth of his hands bringing out the richness in the fish." Lol. This guy is clueless."
That's a real aspect of traditional sushi.
taisho thinking: "Muricans..."
Don't eat with your elbows on the table. Before you walk into a sushi restaurant in Japan, learn some manner.
Hiro Suzuki You're an asshole
True story. I'm an asshole.
Being an Asian person myself I have to disagree with you because there are some manners style that to me are unnecessary and not a big deal like the one you said with elbows on the table.
Wanlop Anongchanya Maybe it's unnecessary for you and the culture you grew up on, but it's not for Japanese culture. For instance, for us Japanese, slurping noodles isn't a big deal at all. More like it's the right manner, but for Americans, you know. So it's not for you to decide that Japanese elbow thing is necessary or not for Japanese.
I see what you were trying to say tho.

But Japanese foods is number 1 in my list. Japanese and Korean women are the hottest. And Hawaiian so I can born and live there forever lol love Hawaii Islands. Never been to Japan and Korea but I will one day. I can't RIP if I don't visit those two counties.
Too bad Americans call everything "amazing", "extraordinary" etc. So, there is no real value in those judgements :(
Ihaba S That andrew zimmern just keeped shooking his head for 14 fucking seasons random saying "delicious", "fantastic", and the same words every time, regardless of what he was disgustingly chewing on his mouth, from penises of random exotic animals to street food to a fucking soup of blood and dirt (season 4, episode 1, tanzania).
It's despicable watching he eating a delicate and delicious food like sushi (this in particular made by one of the best sushi chef in the world) in that rough manner and having the same reaction of when he ate that soup.
I too believe, SINCERELY, that he's enjoying that sushi, but those manners get anyone really pissed off.
Just look at the face of the chef at 0:42, he REALLY wants to ram his samurai sword down his fat ass throat.
I give it a scale of 1-10, and its 20
lol
To be honest, i won't be able to enjoy the food when someone is looking at me intensely.
This is the perfect video for when it's 2:33 am and you're hungry but too lazy to go to the fridge to get some food
how much does it cost? thats my dream....but i think its very high cost
kira yoshikage i think it costs about 200$
***** close, actually it's $300+++
Gotham Knight wow
kira yoshikage There are many grades of Sushi restaurant.Price range are very wide.(Quality is also)I recommend $50 class Sushi. It's enough to satisfing for almost Japanese.Gotham Knight is not telling a lie.But it's Ginza price.
kira yoshikage Probably pretty close to three fifty.
Seeing all of these comments about how apparently rude and disrespectful the host was makes someone who is not used to eating sushi (like me) nervous to try it because I might disgrace the sushi chef or something. I think you guys need to calm down just a tad and realize that he is from a different culture, and no disrespect was intended. He just wanted to eat some good food man
They're always like "oh it's so disrespectful, blah blah blah" stop whining so much
He has his elbows on the table, talks with his mouth full, refers to the chef in third person when he's right there, and eats the sushi wrong (the least offensive thing). Pretty rude if you ask me
jiro just in the background..."who did you say was the best?"
Looks like hank off of breaking bad
I don't know man, I just wasn't convinced Zimmerman truly loved it.. or even liked it! he kept doing weird faces and his reactions were really delayed.
tee tee
hahahahahah good one
Uni Midna He also makes those faces. He probably literally had an orgasm eating food like this after having to eat octopus sperm cereal or chicken blood milkshakes or whatever the hell else this show can dig up for him
Uni Midna It's a show. I'm sure he had to hold it until the camera sets up perfectly and then enjoy it. Unlike most of the bozos in this comment section, he is indeed a chef. He can appreciate high caliber food as much as he can appreciate the poor finding nutrition where they can.
He has no respect
Ihaba S This guy is just jealous and just needs something negative to say... Pathetic creature
Although i am jealous, im just pointing out basic facts. Hasn't your mother taught you any table manners? He literally has both elbows on the table, while speaking (with food in his mouth). Though i don't expect someone who dehumanizes another for a simple statement, without regarding facts to be educated or logical, you should still learn to spot simple things that make ones argument valid.
I wasnt speaking about you
Hank from breaking bad
he is not the chef...he is the chef's apprentice.
this man shouldn't be sniffing the food that is incredibly rude especially in front of the chef
Maybe sniffing it hes enjoying the aroma of the fish. Ever think of that ?
somebody teach him how to eat sushi please ....
he's using his hands. that is the correct way to eat sushi actually. eating at the best restaurants isn't as stiff as you think it should be
im not talking about that .
The first thing to touch your tongue, must be the fish and not the rice, maybe about that.
The Paradise of Japan Gastronomy
it is somewhat disrespectful to sniff the sushi, but the guy is a food critic and that is their job. also i have a soft spot for him because i use to watch his show :)
Wow! That piece of scallop looks more like a white hockey puck!
I ain't jealous, I'm in shape.
where was this?
Is this before the Fukushima Daiich Tsunami Radiation or after?
smelling a sushi like that is an insult to a sushi master. it's like smelling if there's poison or not.
Hank Schrader eating sushi!
The cost of this meal is minimum 300 usd per person for roughly 20 piece of suishi. This guy is Jiro's ex-apprentice.
Wow .. he just inhales it.
