    If I can’t afford to treat myself to a $250 Michelin star meal, I want to watch you treat yourself and describe everything so poetically. And I love if the chopsticks aren’t working with you, that you just pick up a spoon without stressing about it. Goals. You are there to taste and enjoy the food, not put on a show. You are so good at explaining what you’re eating, without being a hyper-rejective critic.

    Hey Mike, I don't usually comment on your videos, but I just wanted to say thank you for existing and for bringing the love you have for food to us all. For every bit of success that you have attained, you have paid it back tenfold through your hard work, courage to be yourself, and your unapologetic love for food (and personality). It's liberating to see someone so genuinely themselves, and the thought struck me today, "I want to be like this guy." I think that that is the true value of the content that you produce. You inspire people to be themselves and pursue what they love doing, and that is a great underlying message for your channel.
    I was in a dark place when I started watching your videos. Things have gotten better, but I am still struggling. I just wanted to personally thank you for cheering me up in my dark times, and making me forget my worries for a time. Food really does bring people together.
    Anyway, I don't want to make this comment too long. Cheers everyone and enjoy the video.

    I can never go to higher end tasting places like these because I have a shellfish allergy and they won't accommodate it, which makes perfect sense, but which keeps me from the opportunity that everyone else has to eat there. So I really appreciate the fact that you go and take us along and describe everything so well that I feel like I actually did eat there.

    I get that some of the food items/ components are somewhat expensive/ high end and imported, and that there is some artisan creativity in the way the dishes are done and the whole "food experience", but it is very hard for me to justify the price (that are available/ viewable on their website menus) with the portion sizes.

      I would say there's ALOT of work, creativity and artistry in the dishes. And there were alot of courses too. That being said, give me something slightly less elaborate but more abundant (and cheaper) for sure. I feel those places are only for true foodies.

      I like to go to these places on special occasions. Usually on anniversaries. I know it's expensive and I would never have imagined going to these places growing up but it's really not an everyday kinda thing. And it certainly isn't meant to be filling. It's not the kind of food that hits the spot after a hard day or something that you can dig in and feel it fill up your soul. But the thing is, you really remember these places. The experience lingers in your mind even after years go by. I only go to these restaurants ONCE. I rarely ever go to the same fine dining place again even of I loved it. I think the experience and the memories of it are really worth it. I'd say start on the low end ($80 per meal ish) and if you enjoyed it, work yourself up. For something like a ten year anniversary, I'd gladly pay $300 each for a meal. With the insane costs of ingredients, the amount of staff they hire, and their crazy work hours, they don't really have a great profit margin in these places. A lot of them are just that passionate about what they do.

      I don't really have any special anniversaries to celebrate besides my birthday though too, so the sentiment really isn't there either, i'll treat myself to some very nice Sushi (which still doesn't cost nearly that much though using many of the same ingredients) or a nice Wagyu Steak, but that's still just more practical and appropriate to me.

    That was a lot of good food that brings back memories of a French restaurant I went to. I bet Mikey loves more than every thing is to see his wedding ring is the pictures he takes. Well I've been married about 36 years, nothing is better than staying married. Let there be no other option.
