Deceptively Simple Japanese Dishes | Anthony Bourdain's The Mind of a Chef | Full Episode

Nothing says Rock n' Roll like disciplined silence.

The food was so amazing that it rendered the chef speechless. Simplest of food is hardest to perfect.

Those sushi which chef was putting out at Sushi Sawada looked ridiculously good 🤤🤤

David Chang is just so unlikeable

Something feels disingenuous about a chef who claims to love great, simple dishes, and then complicates the most simple, delicious dishes.

I had forgotten that Tony did voiceovers too. A real treat this Seasonal time of the year 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

beets are gross.

Looking at the comments, it appears some are really bothered by David Chang's opinions, particularly that of American chicken noodle soup. Look, it's just that: an opinion. I happen to like American chicken noodle soup. Someone giving their two cents to the contrary won't disturb my peace in the least. Great episode, by the way. And that's my opinion only.

Bourdain killed himself, he abandoned everyone.
Not worthy to be remembered.

I always loved this episode. Nice to see it on YT so I can share it with more of my friends.

My fav yakitori place in Tokyo … the building is an old wooden structure, limited insulation, beautiful dyed cloth hanging around the interior. In the middle is a slightly elevated area where there are two large hibachis with two chefs cooking yakitori. The entire heat for the restaurant comes from those hibachis. If you sit near the chefs, it’s hot, but if you are in the back of the restaurant it’s cold, really cold in winter. So they give you a thick Kimono jacket to wear. You sit in the back, in your kimono, eating a bit of yakitori, slowly, and drinking hot sake. Perfection.

It is amazing how dated this video is.Bourdain is dead and Chang is cancelled, and the approached to food is VERY different.

Ramen man is Elvis, man.

Anthony, we miss you.❤

Americans are bound by no duty and it certainly shows in our fast food culture

European, or American, chicken soup is fine, David. It's like any other recipe, some people make things well and some don't.

This is old right?

I'm trying to figure out how deboning a chicken wing flat is 'deceptively simple'.

That shrimp preparation technique is still impressive. True Mastery.

Really craving a bowl or ramen now, that looked great, as did the sushi.

I make an awesome American chicken noodle soup that would stand up very well next to what chef made

Not a fan of raw food 😅

Don't disrespect the ingredients. I happen to like beets
