I want to start a unapologetic steak and frites restaurant. When i was in Paris last year i discovered thus place across from my hotel called La Brigade amd i ate there almost every day of my trip. I want to open a similar one in the US. But i aint going to charge $25. Thats a rip off. Even in Paris it was 14. For a decent size steak sliced over a bed of hand cut fries with a choice of sauce. Paris shouldnt be less than NYC. Almost half. Just saying.

Damn, I liked this guy but once I saw he had the migrant working there I lost respect.
People hire these dudes for cheap and they destroy the business by making a crap version of what the owner came up with. The same with all the NYC pizza shops, all Mexicans making nasty pizza with 3rd world standards using cheap products and have no idea how to make real Italian food.
I might have to pass or just make it myself!

Ok. So, I hope he uses a hair net when cooking. And, that potato slicing machine is just brutal. Why not an automatic one, instead of permanent damage to the shoulder ligaments of whoever uses it Finally, it's better if I don't look at the general conditions of that kitchen. Some time ago, I did an inspection in a Grill'd store here in Australia. I will never, ever eat in any store of that chain.

For all those calling the chopsticks cringe, this is definitely the best way to eat this particular dish. A fork, especially a shitty take out fork is just going to crush your fries as you try to get the steak. And with the chopsticks you can now securely hold the steak while you tear a piece off

He's actually right about the chopsticks, if you wanted to pick up just a piece of steak, it'll be hard with a fork in this case (without getting a bunch of fries which would be a big mouthful. Chopsticks isn't right for stuff like eggs, but for this dish. yeah chopsticks work

ah yes, the good growth-hormone-steroid-infested US Meat, slapped on some fried potatoes drizzled with - you guessed it - growth-hormone-steroid-infested US Butter sauce. Thats a lot of cancer for 25 $. which is an absurdely high price obviously.

Controversy I’m in NY and I would love to challenge this dish for emulation for a home version. I can make this, with numerous shortcuts needed as I’m at home, not in a restaurant. The restaurant version is classic, but.

They’re permanently closed. I tried to look them up. I live in the city. It’s too late.
Edit: the Brooklyn location is closed. They’re opening in Manhattan. We’re back in the game, baby.

When he talked about making a never broken sauce, all I could think of was the big bowl of broken emulsion the chef had sent to the critic after she scoffed at the little one in The Menu.

I worked at Five Guys 8 years ago or so: fries are immediately washed and then are kept in water. Fried to raise internal temp, then cool down, and finish fry for crispiness.

Mount the potato cutter to the wall or any other much more stable vertical surface, lubricate it and change the blades. It should be one swift motion to do one potato.
