In this week's episode, we attempt to be come better chefs by pretending to be food critic's. After failing to impress Uncle Roger, we decided to take matter into our own hands and learn to cook. Since we didn't want to pay for real cooking lessons, we decided to pretend to be food critics in hopes of speaking to the chef's in the back kitchen.
Big shutout to Donatello! Great and kind staff!

Quick Tip: Real critics try not to give even a little hint they are critics. That means hiding notes, not asking for special treatment, and ordering a full course.
But then that defeats the point of this cmvideo
@@Metaman-xd9mm oooo any good recommendations for vegan food?
Exactly
So true. That said, I wonder if critics only come at certain times of year. I dine solo pretty often and, contrary to people's warnings, I've never once received special treatment (which is to say I've never been mistaken for a food critic.) I guess maybe part of the subtlety of critics now is that they never dine alone as to not be so obvious.
You must be fun at parties
Nobody should feel bad for the chef, he probably felt great to be recognized and complimented for his work. And the fact that the restaurant had the courage to show the kitchen in very little notice means they actually care for they hygiene and customers props!’
You're watching it so he's actually more popular
@@Noobllllltrue
Nah these guys are complete dickheads lol. Imagine your craft being made a joke on the internet for views. These guys work their hearts out for these 'potential career ending critics'. But its just some dudes making a video for youtube views and free food
Which are lies..
same :C, but if they let the restorant name, more people can go and taste he's coock :D... atleast
honestly i feel bad for the chef he was so nice😭😭
Chef should be nice to everyone and not only food critic.
@@cnachopchopnewsagency gordon ramsay :
Technically they can be food critics, there youtube channel is pretty huge in food so if they rate the food good people would try it
Yea
@@Souloryx like uncle roger exactly
Just a tip. Food critics are usually very confident and calm. Maybe curving yourself together and making tricks with your pen isnt the best idea if you want this to succeed every time. Another tip is also to try being more formal and dont say things like "oh shoot" and when they present an idea saying "okay" isnt the greatest idea either. If someone says what she did at 2:17 maybe one of the better answers will be "alright I will let you know", "of course" or just a simple "thank you". That way you sound more formal. Saying "do you know who I am" before you even get your entre is not very great either. Food critics usually wants to stay disguised till the end so they do NOT get special treatment. Try eating what you came to eat and then after ask to see the chef and tell them who you are
than you fur tip😂
Imagine the restaurant sees this video 😂
Gg😂
Restaurants don't have phones
@@lanjiao But owners have
@@jagsito it was a joke?
@@lanjiao no
I'm glad you guys paid for the meals. Restauranteering is a tough industry. ❤️ Fun video guys!
why wouldnt they lol critics also pay even when they sneak in
@@knlei1 because that food was free. They gave it to him because they thought he was a critic
I wish restaurant paid the poor workers in low income nations who did the hunting
@@Ma1q444why would a restaurant get meat from a low income nation
Just for that heart emoji, i aint likeing that comment >:(
I am actually going to Donatello restaurant because the chef's has pride in his cooking and care about his kitchen.
This was a great video. The chef is so sweet.
They are anyway helping the restaurants, by promoting them freely via youtube. It doesn't matter if they are or not a real food critics.
you are in no position to determine if it matters or not, the restaurants do.
@@xhnyp1018 you are in no position to determine this comment

What notes have you wrote down?
I wrote down the restaurant's name, and then my pen ran out of ink 😂😂
LOL
Here is a little tip from a pro fake food crititic, you need to write actual things related to the dishes, you need to do 2 weeks of prep base on all ingredients and have enough money, to buy everything in the store to try, and then leaves without saying a word
And dont mention about television chef to the real chefs in the kitchen. Omg i cant!
Then whats the point of being fake lmao? At that point with all that prepping and hard work just be a real food critic
@@keepout2268 Wait... you're right!
@@keepout2268 you don't understand the art in it, you get free access to the backz thank all the chief, 2 weeks to sometimes even a month prep time, you carry your friends to scout the area not to suspiciously to where they think is possible bomb threat, then you come in, remember all the knowledge, use ear bug communication devices rhat is camouflage and let them feed you advice, you be surprised how perfessional you look, and you give them your call card etc.
@@thelastshadowpigz the point is you get free food on the exclusives
I don't think real critics brag about who they know and what they are or where do they post 😂 It is easy to get doubtful if someone behaves like that
Chefs: *sweating*
The "food critics": 14:57
Despite yall not being ‘real’ food critics, i feel like the hospitality they showed and the passion the chef showed in his cooking will come back around to bring good their way..
“I pay you $100,000 to google translate and you’re trash at it” lmfao😭
They were NOT convinced. So obvious that it’s embarrassing! They probably saw the cameras and assumed you were popular CZcamsrs so they knew they were going to get good views and exposure
Shout out to the chef, he was so sweet.
You may not be real food critics but technically you are also food critics because you're making a video and posting it on a fairly large channel
but the thing is the focus on the video is not on the food, they didn't even comment about the food at all, so it can hardly be called a food critic video
@@jeremydespairchange the word didn't to hardly within the next few weeks or else get tested by a doctor for autism, have a nice day.
@@chinglesscheddar how about you learn and speak another language before I call you retarded within the next 2 weeks?
Mhm
Honestly you guys don’t give off food critic vibes at all 😂 Definitely giving off CZcamsr vibes.
The sad part! Uncle Roger isn't even a real food critic! 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 He's a comedian
The troll of trolls
Haiiya
4:35 As an Spaniard them awkwardly practicing the kiss on the cheek greeting was hilarious 🤣😂Great video once again guys
He demanded advance notice so he could clean the nasty ass kitchen. The one before allowed you to record because they got their shit together and had a very clean kitchen. I would avoid eating at the last restaurant. He was so defensive and had a very dirty kitchen to hide.
How u know
@@Namnu. it mostly is like that, although, the kitchen usually isn't 'particularly' dirty. it is dirty enough that the restaurants don't want to show it, but not dirty enough to not pass standards.
Take a look at McDonald's kitchen sometimes, you'll see what I mean. Yeah, the counters are clean, and the general area where food moves around is clean, but the floors are dirty as hell half the time. You wouldn't want that to be in a video about your restaurant, let alone magazine sold to milions of people.
The owner makes a good point. I doubt people want to be filmed when they are casually going out to a restaurant; especially a high end one. I know I wouldn't want a camera pointing around at me. It could be bad for business and scare customers away.
It's also a bit unorthodox to ask to see the kitchen. I also doubt the staff would have wanted to be filmed as well.
Amen
@@Namnu. How do you not know?
I did this one time back in the day and all it takes is sheer confidence. I had the chef come out from the back to ask me how things were going.
Flipinos are all pure hearted people and as one of them i'm proud of being one. I was shocked because the third restaurant is like a five star restaurant and the head chef was filipino, even tho he doesn't understand fully chinese at least he know some of the words and still make an impression
Btw where the restaurant at?
All pure hearted? Sounds like someone who knows nothing lol
Food critics don't announce themselves. Nobody should ever know
I laughed so much with this video. XD "What if he recommends the most expensive dish?" 😂😂😂
This felt like you guys are actually helping them to shoutout so I think it’s there win to have you guys here
I guess food critics are more anonymous. They don't go with pen, paper and camera and they don't brag about working with famous chefs etc.
These guys are back again with super content loving this guys from last 1 year and still be following them till last
I love how this video is in service to Uncle Roger. An interesting social experiment indeed.
this video brought me times were youtubers were actually funny without being cringe or harmful
We are local food reporters and we have a great relationship with our restaurant owners and chefs. We know a Top Chef winner, a World Chef Champion, and we collab weekly with a MasterChef contestant. We could only hope for the kind of reach you guys get, so kudos on that. I’d say 95% of restaurants welcome our cameras in, the other 5% just don’t get coverage and we move on to the next one. We’ve lived this life for almost 3 years now.
They should have gone to only Chinese fine dining restaurants instead, maybe they would have gotten better treatment. Also, wear business attire coats instead lol.
Lets get these guys a chapstick sponsorship
😂😂
Finally someone said it
😂
If I did this with my friends I definitely couldn’t hold in my laughter 🤣
Tbh i would be scared as hell pretending to be a food critic like I would be terrified getting caught but man they are rlly brave.
I couldn’t stop laughing. I laughed so hard that actual tears came out 😂😂😂 🤣🤣great content cantomando squad
Omg like so funny I’m dying 😐
@@TheAngelOfDeath000u literally ruined the mood bet ur not fun at partys
@@yukk9481 yeah fr lol
Watching this at midnight, halfway now! Awesome video so far guys :)
Imagine a real food critic (and professional too) in the same restaurant as Canto and they try to expose him to the staff in order to get him sued or something, but the stuff wouldn't care anyway 😂
Y’all are funny 😂 this was a good one. Going in with elevated problem solving really had them thinking you’re critics lol. The effort is noteddd 😂😂😂
love you guys so much keep up the work!
13:53 can we just talk about how they drink, set down their glass, and take their hand off at the same time?!?!?
You guys are helping the restaurant by advertising them so great job
Dude the second restaurant was so cringe Sheldon was nervous stuttering LMAOOO I’m actually dead asl
13:30 id leave the restaurant to act like a proper food critic 😂
Bro good job on the video. I learned a whole lot from this educational video. Thumbs up
I waited so long for a new video I hope you guys are doing great 👍👍
I'd love to join ya'll on these kind of adventures. 7 years working in the kitchen, assisted last restaurant I worked at earn a michelin star. Plus, I'd love to practice my canto and learn mando!
To be fair any youtuber could become a food critic since they have a lot of influence in media
That one Head Chef is a Filipinooooo 🥳 Proud of him! Such a kind Filipino as always! 🙏
Mike: Nobody sees him
Mikehael's intro: WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF THIS CHARACTER
As a professional food critic for 6 years now (in the higher levels of the profession), 95% of the time we tell the restaurants we are coming so they can be at the top of their game. To publish an official review without their knowledge is disrespectful and can get critics banned from higher-end restaurants. We also don't take notes anymore since the 90s. It is not like the movies. The 5% that are not told ahead of time are for articles that compare the establishment to other places like "The best Italian Restaurant in Chicago," or for an award. Even then, we tell the Restaurants that we will have reviewers come in between a certain time period, and we give them a rubric and standards with what they will be reviewed on. This video was literally laced with disrespect. You could have gotten better results if you told the restaurants ahead of time that you would be coming to review the restaurant for your CZcams Channel and would like to see the Kitchen staff work, they would have obliged and be more welcoming with you filming. Other guests of the Restaurant take priority over rude guests that just come in with a camera when that may seem stressful to the workers and other guests.
I mean the whole point was to be FAKE not actual critics if they did all of this then at that point they are not faking being critics and are actual just critics.
@@xenogaming9600 they said they wanted to get benefits by acting like critics. The main goal was to see the Kitchen staff work. They could have done a better job without disrespecting the establishment or the other guests, AND have gotten better results.
Yes. But also, if they had informed earlier the restaurant would have researched about critic’s name on the web to no avail
@@HeyitsRishab not true. They have a large CZcams channel.........
But you are a critic..the whole point is to catch them at the time when they are not on their game! Why would you warn them that you are coming then everything will be fake and not to usual status..act like a usual customer let them serve you what they serve everyday not just because a critic is coming..makes no sense honestly
Finally someone who does this legitimately instead of writing in a freaking notebook and getting free food that they actually paid for
If you guys are serious about learning to cook, I have a Le Cordon Bleu degree that I'm not using. I could teach you more than you'll learn trying to sneak into kitchens. I will work for clout.
Just wanna say this was a lot of fun to film and thanks to the restos for being so cool! We ended up paying for the meals when we left 👍👍

I hope you guys paid for the “free food” you guys got too
@@cee_el thats what he just said😭
That's awesome to hear :)
It's my birthday today
You’re such a g , first video I ever seen of your channel as soon as your amazing editing popped up with the math equations and the magazine thing lol you’re very good bro lol lmfao much love from Los Angeles
I pretended to be a robber and got free money so I could be a full time pretender
Well the publicity this video gives the restaurant pays for the free food lmao
"We run a big- um, like- Food like Astronomy type magazine in China, 🤔Shanghai.😃"
😂 hahahaha 哈哈哈
Nice video I learn so much about food critic authenticity. It appears food critics let restaurants know that they are coming, they don’t brag about who they know and they maybe ask permission for filming. They are also very polite and try to remain low key. The chef seem annoyed about barging in and filming. Thanks for this video it’s seemed it was a wonderful experience to seem chefs at work
Honestly how tf this has only 500k views rn. Like this is one of the most entertaning shit I've seen in a while on youtube besides maxwell vids. And the chef was so nice.
Technically he is a food critic with potential advertisement of about a 1m view. I say the restauraunt did the right move
Imagine going in a restaurant to your homework and they start giving you free food.
Yall in case you haven't noticed this video has generated much more attention for these restaurants than a food review ever could
Technically you are a good critic telling the internet how good the food is
imagine meeting those chefs outside someday and they figure out you arent a food critic 😭
They are well known CZcamsrs tho good enough 😮😂
You guys just needed that smooth professional talk with the 5 star restaurant lol
guarantee the 2nd restaurant was a front for some shaddy mafia-like business.
I was impressed that you were able to pull it off! :)
Imagine if the owners actually known him
Reminds me of a time when I went to a job interview with a notepad. 😂
The dude literally asked me what I was doing with the notepad. I shot back rather angrily “whatever you’re doing with yours”
I got the job but was fired soon after. They didn’t like how I actually knew HR stuff and that I didn’t tell them I had HR “training” (my mom was HR)
"The dude literally asked me what I was doing with the notepad. I shot back rather angrily “whatever you’re doing with yours”
I got the job but was fired soon after" this was hilarious to read.
Even though the 2nd restaurant was being tricked, I doubt there's any better publicity for them than this. I'd totally go there if I was ever anywhere close.
Proud to say that we Filipinos always give pur hearts to cooking and singing as well ❤
Hafu came in too casual for the last restaurant and made you guys sus 😂
Dropping Nigel Ng's name, and also mispronouncing it, lol! You guys are so bold, makes for a nail-biting video.
Bro real food critics wouldn’t show their notes plus usually when you pretend to be one and get free food you give a big tip and dont just take the free food 💀😭
As a Cantonese/Chinese person i approve that these food critics are the world’s toughest critics ever!
Thanks for making such hilarious videos 🎉😊
Can u make more of these I laughed my ass off
Good to see your videos are not dying
"He drew a fish" - *a food critic*
You don't need money to go restraunt...
*You just need an notebook and a pen*
LOL 😂
The way they convinced the restaurant they were food critics is pure genius! I'm taking notes for next time! 🤣🤣
Today, my name is going to be Micheal.
Tomorrow, my name is Jake
I'm not a food critic but here's 4 million free business ad impressions for you
bro at this point, there just becoming food critics 😂
I thought Mikhail (Russian name) was Beijing kid not Shanghainese kid. Lol

The cantomando blueprint ad is hilarious
i swear sheldons laugh gets me 😂🤗
Bruhhhhh I love this channel 😂😂😂😂 legit was laughing!!
13:59 they drank and put down their glasses in sync! Truly professional.
lol "do you know who i am?"
Ah yes food critiques with chef Mikael from Shanghai, I feel fancy just watching this video
I like that the moment you walked into the kitchen you're like Hey i'm Mike, like bam cover is gone, im here, jobs done, thanks for having me.
How about more videos of Mike learning Cantonese with y'all 😁😁😁😁
The last restaurant mmmm...he was understandably upset they were filming for the privacy of other customers but he got really weird about the backrooms. I wouldn't eat there
lmfao i love content, and this channel.
