Addison Del Mar: Forbes Five-Star dining experience [full video]

At Addison Grand Del Mar (or Addison del Mar, how they call it), Grand Chef William Bradley (acclaimed by Relais & Châteaux) combines local ingredients with contemporary French Michelin Star style influences. This Forbes 5 star restaurant in San Diego offers a truly fine dining experience for everyone who is looking for an authentic and "farm to table" cuisine.

In this restaurant documentary, you will see chef William Bradley at work. William Bradley explains how to be a good chef and gives advice to young chefs.

He is a control freak (in a good way) and truly passioned person that is looking for perfection and naturalité. The Addison's tasting menu is truly a Five Star Diamond menu that worth 3 Michelin stars. But Michelin guide is not present in California, so there are no Michelin stars. But this is not a problem. The restaurant is fully-booked almost every day. Dining experience from MasterChef Bradley is a true culinary journey through the world.

When you start the tasting menu, you have things that are very crisp, chilled, light, hight acid. And the move through, to have other variations of fish. Just a good menu with a lot of textures, flavours and very well balanced.

Addison featured tasting menu:

Poached Alaskan King Crab, featuring golden osetra caviar from Northern California, a shellfish from beurre blanc

Pickled Asian pear, Santa Barbara sea urchin and the champagne emulsion

Avocado mousse, sliced cucumber, ponzu vinaigrette and sesame croustillant

Gently baked wild caught Scottish king salmon dusted in fennel pollen, with hibiscus tea poached beets and green apple.

Musquee de Provence, aged gouda, toasted rye and crispy shallots.

Breaded sweetbread, potato puree, Iberico ham, and lovely veal reduction to finish the dish

Calotte de boeuf (the cap of ribeye), grilled on butcher's butter from France along with the mushroom crouton, potato croustillant and beef tartar in sauce bordelaise.

Chef William Bradley quotes from the video:

"A definition of an exceptional restaurant is the one that has an identity. I think we really focus on the tasting menu that has a proper progression".

"Service is such a key thing to haute cuisine, because with great service it elevates the meal to another level".

"The backbone of what we do in cooking here is French. In term of technique and discipline. We got a lot of influences from different chefs. It's a great melting pot of cultures here".

Your description says :
"Michelin guide is not present in California, so there are no Michelin stars."
But Michelin guide is present in California. There are plenty of Michelin starred restaurants in California

Thinking about giving some friends a 25 year anniversary gift of dining here.

Awesome Video, love your videos keep it up. I don't see why people complain about editing, the video is great.

[ekagunadi]

Yes here I am after eating local fried chicken, fried egg, and some plates of rice. Great

[scipio]

Very nice content and style. I see that you've stopped doing that 10 trillions zoom shot that made people dizzy.But if it's possible, can you do something about the subtitle? They changed way too fast. I'm not from English speaking country so I have to take sometime reading them. So maybe a longer sentence or make the other parts of the subtitle appear next to the previous one?

Love these videos, but I always find myself questioning the awful background music.

[ranozziinlove]

I do not understand why the egg carton (which may be contaminated) is with food on top

[bifeldman]

Very pretty food. I suspect this is not on my budget.

[gogatopor]

никогда не понимал этой высокой кухни .... порции в одну ложку это может вкусно но не сытно

[darkblue]

way way WAY too many cuts in these edits

[Hメ狼]

All food looks simple without gaudy presentations ... While usin thos plain white plate to serve it ... Unlike any others ... yet it's 5*? I can only wonder how it's taste

[colmfaulkner]

Aberdeen Angus beef reared in Ireland. Best in the world. The marvelling of the fat and you can actually taste the grass the animal was reared on. Its the green grass that makes Ireland famous for been gren

[lukkash]

You go there to eat pricy & not much and then you go to some fast food restaurant for a compensation of that stress and hunger 😂

[josteckhardt]

Del Mar. Booking like French food. Stuck..not outside the box...

[mcdan]

Is this sponsored by the property? Not much American restaurant content yet you choose Del Mar.. The choice of restaurant is so random. Some would rather Northern CA, with many more great 1, 2, 3 Michelin caliber restaurants and related accolades.

[adhidwiyana]

Already guess it will not far from caviar, sea urchin, truffle, and edible gold. Little bit boring..

[DutchBane]

110% effort on the french words and then came the butchering of gouda... its g like in jalapeño and then ou as in cow

I despise the so-called "tasting menu" concept and for several good reasons. I refer to such a dining experience as a "Thank You" dinner because you spend all of your time saying "thank you" to the service staff and not really being able to enjoy what's on the plate before you.
