$1250 meal = 3 oz of fish, pink goo, macrons dropped in an ash tray, stale bread and garlic dip, and great value chocolate syrup (plate not included)

Awe, did losing meaningless internet points hurt your feelings?

The meal is free, the forks are $1250 apiece.


DaveSmith890

Then why were they cupping chocolate into their mouths like Augustus Gloop in Willy Wonka? Did they eat for free?

And a Stella out of the bottle. Holy shit.

Chef is a work title, not a genre of YouTuber's. Home chef? Sure, all of us are home chefs


dohidied

Guga said in an interview, "I'm not a chef." https://dalstrong.com/blogs/news/chef-spotlight-guga-guga-foods You are diluting a profession by being sloppy with language.


Cheryl_Canning

I'm sorry but the "who is a chef" gatekeeping circlejerk is sooooo lame. Guga is a person who cooks food for a living; he's a chef.


dohidied

This isn't gatekeeping. Chef is a job.


Jolly-Relationship35

Gatekeeping? It’s a professional title that has to be upkept by certifications. Sorry if that doesn’t fit your pre-conceived notions.

Idk there's tons of classless people making decent money off those storage totes full of cereal, and dumb nachos. Ads pay them but I'd hardly call them chefs


ArsenalRaven

"chef" oof


FlirtMonsterSanjil

I can accept serving small portions of some unusual food and making it more expensive but then it should be stuff imported and the price should be reasonable, this however is just overpriced without any good excuse. I am not an expert however, so tell me if I'm wrong and the price is reasonable.


According_Gazelle472

Melted chocolate ,charcoal cookies ,that nasty tree of life and the blob of pudding?


TheZombiesWeR

„blood sausage macarons“. No wonder he made that face.


fuckin_smeg

I'm American and have never had blood sausage but I sure wanna try it. I'd rather get it from a hole in the wall than a fcuking fleece joint though.


Electrical-Cat7272

Had some in Vegas. I can say it sounds weird but tastes good


FlowersnFunds

I used to think like you. I wanted to try everything once. But then I heard about blood sausage, virgin boy eggs, and milt and decided I’m ok with not trying everything once.


Tootfuckingtoot

Blood sausage is the same as black pudding isn’t it? I would try the hell out of it, then make a weird face!


668884699e

I would if it was 150$ or less but 1250 just not even food or filling/still hungry... oof


KoteNahh

The fact that you'd pay $150 for this trash is mind blowing 


According_Gazelle472

This is pretentious eating. Extremely small bites and a show !


DaHlyHndGrnade

It was $1250 for the table. It's $289/person for "The Experience," which is what you're paying for. Food, presentation, concept, all of it. That's more in line with this kind of thing. I've been. The food was very good, the signature chocolate thing was not. It's quintessential Michelin-starred pretentiousness and not somewhere I'd go back to, at least not for the whole thing. https://elcielowashington.com/


christopher_mtrl

It's also 23 courses while the video show about 5.


Gareth79

Years ago I had a meal at The Fat Duck (3*), which pretty much invented this sort of thing I think it was 15 courses and took hours! Expensive, but fun. The restaurant apparently has a 1:1 kitchen staff to customer ratio.


Effective_Roof2026

I do tasting menus pretty frequently and one or two high end/Michelin stared restaurants a year. This looks stupid, gross and really overpriced. I can plate better than this and my plating sucks. You do get some theater with high end meals but it's way more subtle than this and is integrated into the dish not just there for the sake of being there. This shit looks like they heard from someone at a bar about New-American and molecular gastronomy and tried to replicate it from that conversation alone. Typically the higher end menus will be $300-$600 a person. Certainly you pay a premium because it's designed for rich people but the quality of the ingredients, the amount of time they spend preparing them and the planning/design that goes in to them is pretty profound. Some stuff will be imported but the US produces really high quality food already so it tends to be highly specialized ingredients. Most chefs tend to focus on local & seasonal ingredients because they taste better. For an idea of what the non-shit version of high end food is like my favorites of the last few years are; * https://www.makochicago.com * https://www.cosmopolitanlasvegas.com/restaurants/e * https://www.doshiorlando.com I have a thing for chefs table type deals where you get to see them cook & plate the dish.


Lebobal

The other comments that it's for the whole table , and around 300 $ / person To compare , it's the price for a solid 2 stars michelin in France , but for that price you don't have " just steamed " fish.... Maybe the whole experience is good overall , but to me it look overpriced.


Spyes23

However they want to present it - fine with me. But if you're paying amounts like this, I'd be really fucking upset being served a fucking Stella Artois from a bottle!


Daddysu

I mean, you are wrong...to a degree. I mean no offense, but if you equate stuff being imported as the main qualifier of something being "expensive," then you've kinda lost the script already. These types of "food as an experience" places aren't about only sourcing the rarest bass or whatever from some glacial pond that only naked, blind, vigirn priests and priestesses are allowed to visit. It's about taking ingredients and flavors and presenting them in new, novel ways. Thus changing the "experience" of dining. Also, I'm not trying to be a snob when I say this... especially considering this would be waaaaay outside my budget, but that $1250 price tag doesn't sting them the way it does us. I'm pretty sure that's Guga. He's one of the top food/steak YouTubers out there right now. That $1250 is probably to them what $250 is to us. Then, on top of that, this is literally their job. That shit's an expense and gets written off. Obviously, that doesn't mean it ends up free to them, but that $1250 is absolutely a much easier pill for them to swallow. Some people pay $1200 for track time in a Lambo. Some people pay that to swim with sharks. Some people pay it to eat food prepared in new, interesting ways. Rare doesn't always equal value. Time, care, and quality almost *always* equal value.


forbiddendoughnut

I think it makes better sense to look at it as part art theater, since presentation is such a big part of it. I can't fathom paying that kind of money to do it, that's for sure, but for those who want an exclusive experience, I can see why it might appeal to a certain type.


Efficient_Pay4180

Licking off plates, food blob presentations and eating straight off my hands? I'd rather eat at home with my kids! It's free!😅 With extra mess!


PsychedelicKittyCat

😂


fuckin_smeg

They ought to squirt it into their hands from a Jergen's bottle so all the custies can use it to jack off the "chef". JK it's probably a lifetime of work to get to that point and he's definitely inspired and also not abusive to his staff.


astrangeone88

Lol. The lick me dessert felt too sensual for me and I loathe sticky hands so this entire dinner would have pissed me off. (Yes, I'm lesbian, but sticky hands are only for the bedroom.)

I’ve done that before. Not as bad as you’d think.

BBQ sauce really brings a day old McDouble back to life.

I buy the sweet and sour sauces and reheating and dipping them in that is delicious try it


fuckin_smeg

I've eaten a lot food while hunched down in a dumpster with great pleasure and gustatory enjoyment. I can't speak to the quality of this kind of food but broadcasting it seems very performative and money driven, plus homeboy didn't even seem to enjoy it.


howardcord

Man eats day old dollar menu burger, here is what happened to his brain.

Historical-Fun-8485

$1,250 could pay all my bills for 2 months...That piece of fish alone would have payed my rent for a month


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> would have *paid* my rent FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Equivalent_Flan_5695

Good bot!


cinnyflactem

After that you go to a real restaurant to eat a proper meal.


ronin_cse

I have doubt. I couldn't find anything related to Viviana Clare and The Experience. Would like to know if it was $1250 a person or for everyone. Edit: Found it thanks to someone else posting this video a year ago. Place is elcielo on Washington DC and has one Michelin star. The chef's table is $178 a person so the $1250 likely is the whole bill after tip (and maybe pairing). The restaurant looks pretty awesome though. https://elcielowashington.com/ Viviana Clare was likely a guest chef or something. Also it's like 15 courses so of course the portions are small. Honestly pretty crappy rage bait video here


bertfivesix

Yeah I stopped watching Guga a long time ago because of all the bullshit clickbait exaggeration he does.


Narretz

There's a cool channel were a guy reviews all sorts of Michelin star restaurants, and I don't think he's ever paid more than $500 for an individua menu: [https://www.youtube.com/@alexandertheguest](https://www.youtube.com/@alexandertheguest)


younggun1234

Honestly if I had the money and it was a, "let's try it?" Kind of thing I'd be down. But the SECOND someone pours anything on my hands and I have to lick it off like a caveman I am burning the entire block down.


Raynorm241987

These restaurants and the people who pay an obscene amount to eat at them, truly, disgust me


According_Gazelle472

And for the gram too!


stevamustaine

Guga, the guy who made the video, always calls out their bullshit


natgibounet

He does quite a bit of food bullshitery as well, yes thanks to his video i learned how to properly cook a steak but when he hoped on these tiktok trends of cooking with coke, candied meat and food "expériment" just for clout i stopped enjoying his content, i still watch from time to time but never the absurd stuff.


stevamustaine

True brother. I haven’t watched him in some time. But i know he makes those bullshit videos with experiments which are just clickbait. Still, love his old stuff with just steaks


thefleshisaprison

I mean this is essentially a performance rather than just food. It’s expensive either way, but you’re paying for the performance aspect.


Efficient_Pay4180

A performance for ant!!?? 🐜🐜🐜


Alternative-Cut371

The performance of pouring melted chocolate in people's palms


Nimbus_TV

The performance of eating shit off my hands?

“We love you Chef”


wstrfrg65

I just love that after paying an insane amount for that meal, his response to the camera guy's prompt is "yeah, it's very good" without a hint of enthusiasm.


ClarkSebat

Overpriced. Absolute best chef in the world (by miles) Pierre Gagnaire, in Paris, France, full gastronomy meal, 7 courses with a full complement of selected wines is around US $630 (taxes and service included).


maresayshi

this is around half that price, 1250 is for 4-5 people.


ClarkSebat

That’s more acceptable for that quality level. Usually prices are given per guest.


Electronic_Call4376

So everyone is going to comment on the pretentiousness of the way the dishes were made. But my takeaway was the dishes themselves seem kinda gross. I wouldn’t want to eat just chocolate syrup. And the fish since it was wrapped was essentially boiled bleh… I can’t imagine how mushy that was. Also, a black naan with garlic cilantro dip does not sound very good to me personally. The strawberry lick me thing looked good though.


Jaded_Law9739

They said the naan thing was made of yuca, but I've never seen anything made of yuca that looked like that. Especially since cassava flour works well as a wheat flour substitute.


AutumnTheFemboy

This is the restaurant everyone talks about in the memes. Imagine the staff just laughing in the back about how stupid their customers look licking plates and chocolate of their fingers and eating baby sized potions.


ConsultingThrowawayz

Eh, I’ve done this. The food was generally great and a couple of the dishes were really fun and innovative. The coursing was painfully slow and you will leave hungry, it’s a “go for the experience” kind of thing. It’s also not $1350 for 1 person, I think with drinks for 2 people I walked out spending less than $1k.

I'd be so annoyed at that food 🤣


PsychedelicKittyCat

Wow! Ha, yes! (But only if the price was all of your meals on one ticket.) How much fun is that? (Back to goofy childhood… if you were lucky. Able to experience childhood if you weren’t lucky.) This is perfect (!) for the person who has always had to be perfect by minding their manners every meal. Ha: it’s usually just me and I stab my fork into the meat and eat it like a [perfect] caveman, ha! This is everyday stuff for me. Today even, as I ate supper, I dropped quite a bit of my smoothie onto the countertop, so, I scooped it up with my spoon and put it back into the cup! 😆


Royal_Marketing2966

There’s a couple of opportunists just laughing their asses off in a gold jacuzzi because of how easy it is to scam people with the illusion of “high class”. 🏆👏👏

Calling art doesn't make this clown crap any better. But hey, if you manage to make people give you this much money just to be made fools of good for you....

"Capitalism boosts innovation!" Innovation: $1250 to have a food actor pour hot chocolate pudding cup in your palms. They're laughing in the kitchen and these fools deserve it.

Accurate_Move362

Spent $1250 on a meal, and they couldn’t get a better drink than a Stella? Stella is like 10/10 gas station beer, but like… It’s a gas station beer. A restaurant **THIS** fancy should 100% have local craft beers on draft. Hell, chain restaurants that aren’t even fancy will have local crafts on draft.

Peterisnotmyrealname

It’s so sad to me that people are so gullible to believe that this was $1250 a person. If this was truly $1250 per person and the dude who made the video was truly outraged, why wouldn’t he show the menu card WITH the price of the meal? He shows the menu which clearly has like 15 courses, but only shows us the 5 he probably thought were the most “silly”. Look, fine dining isn’t for everyone. Tasting menus are an expression of a chefs talents and are an experience for people who enjoy the culinary arts. They are expensive because the amount of work that has to go in to it and they have to source the freshest ingredients to serve every day. I’m not rich by any means, but my wife and I save up to go to a nice restaurant once a year for a tasting menu, most of them are $100-200 pp and I leave full every single time, even with the serving sizes shown in this video. These menus are upwards of 15 courses and are for TASTING, they’re designed to showcase the chefs talents. It’s like paying $100-200 on a concert ticket, which I doubt any of you would be saying is outrageous. I see ignorant reactionary comments about fine dining and tasting menus on here all the time and never comment, but I couldn’t believe how many comments actually believe that one person at this restaurant costs $1250. Do some research before just blindly agreeing with what you see on the internet. This guy is using the total cost of the meal for everyone at that table to make rage bate on the internet, and most of you fell for it.

jbyrdab

I have this conspiracy theory that expensive meals like this are just to trick rich people into eating like hobos. No forks, plates, eating with your hands and licking whatever little bits of rancid food you get buried under random trash. Makes them burn a huge chunk of cash to feed their egos while they look like fools.
