Paul Gerard's WORK THE LINE featuring Anthony Bourdain & Tom Colicchio

Ya tu sabe ! Love the line

Never understood the concept of "fine dining" whatever the fuck that means! I mean really, you pay a ton for a small portioned meal that have have you leaving starved when you arrived just hungry. And no doubt one will end up bi-polar or with some other kind of neuro degenerative condition, working for megalomaniac chefs like ramsey and the twat chef in the video, why do ppl get into this sick fucking business?

I wish all my burners would work like that....

Ive probably been watching this over and over the last 8 years. Nothing like service. And that ticket machine....musica

Pricks the lot of them

I love that point where everyone is just so completely buried in the weeds, everything is going wrong, and all you can do is keep working one ticket at a time. Everyone is pissed off and ready to fight each other, but slowly but surely you end up with an empty board, and someone who was your worst enemy five minutes ago is smiling and high fiving and everyone is friends again. Nothing really compares to the masochistic pleasure of cooking and extremely busy service.

I love the music in this! It's exactly the kind of thing I like to play while working through a weekend rush

Is he cooking food or analogies?

Anthony Bourdain god rest his soul,.

I think Paul Gerard is a big fan of being Paul Gerard

What restaurant is this? Anybody know?

Entertaining really dramatic and cheesy but I liked the video haha

This generation today , would shiver today

Where can we find the full series

''I have no recollection of what he just told me''
This is very relatable lol

Rock n roll and street fighting!!
Yeah baby
I like both those things
I also like snorting lines of coke of a hookers titties!!
Yeah baby

The "tough-guy" or "sink-or-swim" chef's are always the weakest, it's facade they put on to cover their insecurities, the "toughest" ones are the biggest pussies.

Hey this is cute and cool looking and all but I just wanna say in a real kitchen pumping out high caliber food the cadence is calm and expo is actually keeping everyone on task without freaking out in an organized way. If you wanna work at a spot that’s been on Netflix or whatever you might get talked down to a bit, but if you keep your mind open kitchens out there actually don’t suck. We better get with the fucking program too, cooks are quitting the industry in droves and have not seen a salary increase relative to inflation in 30 years (server average income has tripled in 30 years)

So nice the ticket printer finally stopped printing tickets....... wait why has the ticket printer stopped printing? .....

That ticket machine we all know and love and hate at the same time and we all want to destroy the thing. But when you work hard as a team and communicate you’ll get through those tickets.

My motivational video for todays work shift! 👌

Doing a good job and holding your own...especially on one grill or saute...seems like it justifies bad behavior after the shift

Stephan Bonner in the kitchen

This was fun to watch... dude is so pretentious 😄😄😄😄

Nothing happens in this video except there’s a busy shift and Paul has tattoos

If your kitchen runs like that, you're doing it wrong.

I don't mean the rush or nothing like that, but the toxic, cut your throat attitudes. If everyone is at each other's throat then the whole work flow is fucked.

If everyone is chill and getting along, everything flows smooth like butter

This video has way too much lame dad energy...

There’s always that moment in time during service. You legitimately feel like you’re drowning. It is utterly terrifying. Chef is screaming. Nothing feels real. It’s so odd and unexplainable.

What's the name of the show ?

My first year, I legit would feel anxiety and then it would go away 😂

I’m proud to say I’m a degenerate fucking line dog …..

Chefs drop your location if you need help on the LINE.

"There's two things I love growing up, Rock and roll and street fighting"
You can tell a real badass and he's a badass

This pilot was so bad that Bourdain killed himself because of it.

Bring the rush on I work better in chaos and madness jejeje all my senses heighten for those tree hours jeje or 8 jeje I'm ready 20yrs in it

Just went from Garde Manger to sauté this week and did Saturday night alone. Fuck I was in for a treat.

“Degenerate line dog.” Miss you Bourdain…

Smart chef this guy

He looks like the punisher from the serie

I worked as a cook in high school and college, but instead went into food sales for the next 35 years. I often regret not sticking with cooking. I did see first hand how much work it took and I so admire these guys that did it.

"i have no recollection of what he just told me" i know that all too well and it suuuuuucks

my dream job

I don't know if this show would have made the ratings after the poisoning of Food Network and Cooking Channel, but it would have been a brilliant, unassailable truth; a rare thing in showbiz. Real reality. I am in awe of those working the line everywhere, no matter what's on the menu, what the prices are, or their backgrounds. Immigrants legal and illegal (rooting for you all), addicts, graduates naive and not, seasonal kids, pros. Can't have civilization without your rock and roll.

I worked at this resto for two years+ (after this weird thing was filmed) I remember that kitchen well
Lauren, the chef on the call, was in charge for about one year while I was there
Very tough, but very fair and pretty patient
I liked that job a lot, but working in a NYC restaurant isn't sustainable for a lot of people
Good times...

“You should have three Bronzino and a skate working!”

Where are the episode?

This would've been such a badass show.
