    Great start to the show. I think the cuts were a little hard and fast, and I definitely would prefer a longer product around 8-9 minutes that didn't feel as hurried.

    • @1yaya11
      @1yaya11 Před 4 lety +23

      I agree on the harsh cuts, but I think the length was because he has done this particular dish and place so many times
      it's just only right he starts his channel with this place though,

    the utterly concussive shatteringly crisp crust on a funky dry aged grade A5 spinalis dorsi Japanese wagyu steak still does not hold a candle to the platonic ideal that is the unctuous Smith and Wollensky's roast prime rib.
