the level of enthusiasm is just amazing

Molecular gastronomy is not for everyone. Appreciating it doesn't make you a snob. Not appreciating it doesn't make you a Neanderthal. Cuisine styles are like musical styles. Modernist cuisine is about pushing the art and craft as far as it can go and exploring those possibilities. For some that is exhilarating. For others, it seems so removed from the realm of comfort and nurturing that it seem void of what many consider so great about food. In my opinion, which I make no claim to be superior to anyone else's, the greatest artisans in every field learn from their peers, find their own voice, and advance the state of the art for everyone. To that end, I think it is fantastic to experience the whole spectrum and I think it is important to be open to both new and old ideas. After all, the best ideas are timeless. Peace everyone.

Holy moly so many people here griping about this... You can make your omelet the way you want it, and they can make theirs into art. If you can't appreciate that then obviously its not for you. I think this is beautiful, creating such a stunning piece of art from what is essentially a humble breakfast food, and that's the point.

[peterlindsey]

That was great. I'm a home tinkerer and I could do the sous vide, the mushroom puree, but the steam oven is a technological advantage and well done with the clarified butter. That makes it 100% more appetising. I would love to experience that level of breakfast!

when it's 8 am and u want to eat a floor tile

[simonneil]

That is beautiful work, and I bet it tastes incredible. 
It's so ridiculous to see people calling this 'artificial' or 'unnatural', or even highly processed for that matter. This is made using totally normal, nutritious food, but prepared in an inventive and artistic way, and with a bit of good food science thrown in. In fact, cooking the egg with that fine temperature control is more likely to retain the nutritional benefits, and avoids the potentially harmful products of oxidized oils and greases.

It looks like plastic and tastes like amazing: molecular gastronomy.

Great video. people think that just because it looks a certain way that it would taste bland. it's actually the other way around. Yes this isn't for amateurs who just cook at home. this is for the people in the industry and we love this kinda of stuff.

[aonutsihasnouith]

I love these books it’s changed the way I cook forever.

[zannie]

These guys are having too much fun! Good food as art, love it!

[xITZxGODZILLAx]

Why are so many people angry? It looks like a beautiful recipe which takes a lot of technique and patience. I couldn't even eat it (allergies) and I gotta admit It looks pretty good

[AnnKristinOfficial]

I don't get why people are so hatred towards this video. You don't like this type of cooking, there is many other ways to cook your food. I appreciated this video. It's cool how food have the ability to become something completely different. Someone must have told the majority of you as children "it's not nice to play with your food". Who said? I think it is quite fun.

:3 I actually want to try it. Looks pretty expensive with the processes taken to make such a elegant piece of work/food.

[MrGlennJohnsen]

You can do a variant of this without all the expensive equipment.
All the "special equipment" does is making it more refined and smooths out the textures, we made this in culinary school with no special equipment at all.

[frankelliott]

The total cost of the equipment to cook that omelette was about the same as a new car.

[jamielovetodance]

Wow what an art of cooking! Good choice for fancy restaurant.

[GamingLover-xphc]

did you record your voice 100 feet away from the mic? Please talk louder.

[clipzed]

Love all the simpletons crying about how long it took, wtf? the title of this film wasn't "3 MINUTE OMELETTE YOU CAN THROW TOGETHER AT HOME".

There's plenty of those videos around you can watch. This was very different and a pleasure to watch!

[silvermediastudio]

I wonder if it could be rolled and sliced like sushi?

[TheTalentAgencyEU]

You guys are amazing!! I love the way cook!!! Just got the books! Fantastic!!!
