Munchies: Jonathan Benno
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- We went to Lincoln Ristorante, one of Manhattan's ritziest restaurants, to chat with head chef Jonathan Benno about the intricacies of homemade pasta and the art of modern italian food. Before opening Lincoln Ristorante in 2010, Benno worked with Thomas Keller at The French Laundry in Napa Valley and at New York's Per Se. It's fitting that, for this episode of Munchies, Benno chose to visit chef Nick Kim, who trained under Masa Takayama and then worked across the hall from Per Se as the head chef of Masa. We had some of the best sushi we've ever had-and some of the best food we've featured on this show, period-at Kim's restaurant, Neta. After enjoying a 15-course omakase with Benno, his sous chef Chung Chow, and Mac Truck owner Dominick Tesoriero, we headed north for a beer at Peter McManus Cafe and then a late-night tripe cutlet sandwich at Lincoln. This is New York fine dining with two of the most important fine dining players. Enjoy.

The intellectual Munchie episode. Would not expect anything less from a Keller acolyte.
This guy is amazing. Not a drop of alcohol, no party personality, but still holds the audiences attention. Each bite you see him take you can tell he is truly analyzing the experience. A person that has the mind of a scientist and the palate of a chef; you cant ask for more. A pure master of his craft!
I'm an avid fan of Munchies, but this was by far the most enjoyable episode I've watched. It wasn't just about getting belted, and eating 'stuff' - those guys ate and, more importantly, appreciated every mouthful. There was no need for swearing, boozing, or letting-loose.
It felt like this was actually about food - and thoughtfully so.
+Toby Kennedy (thetobykennedy) Couldn't agree with you more mate. A simple man with simple ideals.
Easy going, professional but still laid back, and great looking food. This is a solid episode, guys. Too bad I found it pretty late.
I don't think he is awkward, just a really relaxed dude. I think it's a nice change of pace.
I really respect Jonathan Benno. You don't need to be this "over-the-top" personality to be a chef, especially a GREAT chef. The cliche can be tiring. He has a certain kind of gravitas and intelligence that is not at all pretentious. It's admirable and very much appreciated.
honestly this guy would be awesome to work under, calm, collected and has bags of experience. Awesome Chef.
Thank you Vice for not breaking this up into multiple segments and releasing them days apart. I forgot to watch Eddie Huang Fresh off the boat because you did that :(
Nice to see a chef not cursing or getting drunk. Cool video
This guy is calm as fuck
Honestly, Vice's culinary series's have probably become my favorite videos of theirs. keep it up Vice. Much Love.
My Grandmum is Italian, and I've been to Italy a few times. This food looks good, but the real art of Italian cooking is simplicity. If you took these recipes into the heartland of Italy, the locals would most likely turn their noses up to these 'modernised' interpretations of their traditional recipes.
you are totally right, but this is new york.
I have worked at a really nice caterer throughout high school and have been exposed to what you could call "rich people food." It's expensive for a reason. And what the guy said about the "fourth bite" is absolutely true. A well done tasting menu provides the most satisfying meal I have ever experienced. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good burger or a big bowl of pasta with nothing more than some sauce and salt, but there is another level of food. And it's amazing.
He seems just very humble quiet and genuine. Favorite episode.
The Bread at the end looked like it was to die for. (my mouth is watering)
Chef Benno was, I think, named one of the 10 best chefs to work for in the country.
Munchies is continually my favorite of your series. Your food programming is no doubt some of your best.
He is a million, trillion, gazillion times better and beyond Gordon Ramsay, they say an expert is humble, I believe that, Respect Mr. Benno
If you’re watching in 2019, Benno has since moved on from this restaurant and opened his own place in Manhattan.
omg...this made me so hungry. i kept expecting that i was gonna be served and would be able to taste the food at the turn of every clip...
Man I love the way this guy talks. It works so well with how this is shot and how the video clips mesh with his voice over.
the best type of video you can watch 6 in the morning without food around...
This is the formula every food show needs to follow.
Totally different episode, I dig it.
One of the best Munchies ever. Love this dude!
Nice guy. If i didn't live at the other side of the world i would definitely try his restaurant!
This is one of my favorite episodes.
You may have never eaten in a restaurant "like that". But When you have up to/more than 10 courses you defiantly get your fill. It's not about gorging out but instead the enjoyment of food and drink and the thought that's gone into it.
Love how chill this guy is. This episode was weirdly soothing.
This guy isn't exactly a wild and crazy guy, like some of the other chefs featured on this show. He's not getting hammered and slurring and saying inappropriate stuff. Fact is he's older, and he's incredibly good at what he does. He seems almost like a monk in fact. In a GOOD way. I'd like to eat his food.
This was actually a beautiful segment.
1:38 Ravioli ai funghi 2:20 Bistecca impanata o Cotoletta alla Milanese. 4:17 Strange type of Bruschetta. 4:29 Orata alla griglia con asparagi.
But they are all a bit strange
Wow, what an amazing segment. I'm so impressed with the quality of material vice puts out. Keep it up!
what a nice, genuine guy
He's subtle in demeanor. I like it actually.
loved the mood shift and production style change for this one, it fit perfectly, one of the best muchies yet. Damn.
Very calm collected man , would love to learn his talents
Saw 1st chief who is very polite.
This has got to be the classiest video VICE has uploaded to it's youtube channel.
Awesome interview and show. Please do more. First thing to inspire me to cook more in a long while. Thanks.
well done vice! these videos just keep getting better
his voice is soooo chill
Very uplifting episode
Best episode
legit I salivate every munchies episode
This is a super awesome style of interview/documentary. I love them. This is the second one I've seen like this and can't wait for another. Simply great!
Are you still active after 10 yrs
beast episode he is so calm nice to another type of chef on vice: munchies
more of this please
This was cosy.. I liked it!
this guy is so chill
I like this guy because he doesn't seem like he really give a damn about being on camera, which is a nice change of pace from the typical chef on camera.
now this is classy. I liked the way he talked.
This guy is humble as hell.
I love these food videos
what a well spoken man, an his cooking is ok...
I agree with you. It's just a way to glorify something everyone should be thankful for having at all (eating food.) Most people on Earth do not have access to clean food, water nor toilets. Also, congratulations on the BJs!
great kitchens start with great chefs.
awesome video vice. more chef videos please
This was wonderfull!
What a chill crew to eat with
Man! I want to make that sandwich that they have at the end! Love me sum tripe.
i actually like this guy, very calming
Awesome dude, awesome eats. Good article!
Seeing a chef drink Budweiser was quite surprising.. It's the most obscene beer on the planet!
sick shit vice. i love how you guys go everywhere in every way across the spectrum of stuff that is stuff.
the hand movements blew my mind.
What a pleasant person, really refreshing episode
"sometimes life is really grand, just sometimes"
Amazing episode. I really enjoying the way he's speaking!
Cool episode
I enjoyed this
What a genuinely nice guy :)
"You drove, right?" Best part of the video.
lol
This is just a fantastic episode, bravo!
drinking and driving is cool!
mamma mia my paisan i feel you. my grandma and grandpa are from the other side. calpricia, they make ah da best manigott
All I can eat bread sticks and salad with a side of alfredo sauce and a tall glass of Pepsi. Thats enough Italian for me. Olive Garden FTW.
I really must thank you folks for the work you do. You have my respect, and I am very interested in your product.
I really enjoyed this!!!!! I love food :P
you sir are awesome!!
The music fits the character well, i liked this :)
I just envy this guy's mannerism. He is awsome
Wow, I know this video is about food/ chefs... but the lady at 2:20 is beautiful!
Love this episode!
Benno carries himself just like tk does almost its crazy awesome
Chill genuine boss right here
This guy is cool. He seems to give credit where it's due, he seems chill and laid back, and he has a really calming voice...it's weird. But I feel like I could never see him genuinely angry or something
This stuff looks good.
I like to eat while watching food being made.
Yeah French Food is very very delicious....Italian Food is also very very delicious....
loved it
This guy is a real man. People think Ramsey is the real deal but this is the way to talk and work without shitty ego manners.
bloody hard work
after having all this exquisite food and being a top notch chef himself, he gets a damn Budweiser to drink at the end of the night? What....even.
nice show..
Nothing like being Italian!!!
That sandwich at the end looks so delicious
Oh man,now we're talking...this is real food!
very gentle dude. i would love to work under him
Of all the one's I've seen, best one I've seen. Most of these episodes are adults acting like 14 year olds getting drunk for the first time. Please, there is more to life than getting blindingly hammered. How can you even properly enjoy some of these fabulous meals when you can barely stand. Andrew Zimmern showed tremendous food & great time without getting blitzed. The tatt'ed Canadian guy that they show a lot in other episodes is so boring: drink excessively and say things an adult shouldn't say but get away with it b/c I'm drunk. This is a great video.
agreed. although I do like to get smashed from time to time aswell! haha
Guess we just wouldn't agree then. I love the episodes where the chefs and owners get together and go drink/support other places in their area. I love the community of it. If I was to work as a chef, I'd want to work for those people over a fine dining place.
Also, this was the most boring episode yet to me.
LucidDream they go and support local businesses in all the episodes.Going out and eating and drinking is a part of life,going out and binge drinking till you throw up while OK when you're a 21 year old but there is far more to life than binge drinking. In addition, there is such spectacular food they are eating which is a shame how can you enjoy it when you can't even feel your tongue. I agree with you that it's great when the chef's and owners go out and hang out. Daniel Boulud has a show like this. This is a slower paced one and I think I enjoyed it more after watching a bunch of the other drink like fiends ones.
Sure, there is more to life than drinking...but what point are you trying to make? The show is called 'Munchies'. Ya know...when you get drunk or high and want to just enjoy some food? Most of these places are on point with what goes on in most restaurants today. Stressful day working, get off, go let loose. There aren't many episodes of people binge drinking or throwing up that I've seen. Sure, lots of drinking...but that also ties in with what the show is kind of about. Also, I dunno what you're going on about not being able to enjoy food when you're drunk. That may be true for some people, but that's not what happens for me.
