$475 MENU & $1500 WINE PAIRING - Dining at One of CALIFORNIA'S BEST Restaurants - Single Thread

We are here in California, on a journey to discover the best restaurants this state has to offer.
5 days, 5 restaurants, each with 3 Michelin stars.
Now, we take you to the second restaurant on our list. For that, we hit the road for Healdsburg.
It's called Single Thread, and the head chef is Kyle Connaughton. In 2019, the restaurant was awarded 3 Michelin stars.

My name is Alexander. I’m the co-owner of a ONE Michelin star restaurant, and I’m on a mission - to find inspiration in gastronomy. I love fine dining, good wine and sharing what I know with other people.

Check out my restaurant:

Love your California tour! Just a fun fact about the 24 year old sommelier, he has only been allowed to legally drink wine for 3 years, but if his education was in California, we passed a law largely for the UC Davis wine program (one of the best in the world and benefactor of the Mondavi fortune after some family drama, see the book “House of Mondavi” for more on that!). If you’re a wine student or sommelier, you can legally sip and spit wine as young as 18 here!

This seems like one of the most genuinely impressive restaurants you've posted, with regards to the service, atmosphere, and the food itself. Not a lot of stuck up, pretentious, "modern avant garde" foofy presentations, just good food with good technique. Love the energy from the younger staff especially the sommelier as well to make it seem approachable.

Seeing a 24 year old sommelier really brightened my day. The passion and level of service he offered seemed amazing. Great video once again!

Singlethread is the only 3 starred restaurant I’ve been to. I took my family last August to celebrate my 30th birthday. I echo the same opinions of this place. It was simply an incredible experience with an astonishing attention to detail. I was simply blown away from my experience here.

you know who else is top tier? the editor, like WOW, every video!

I have eaten here three times, and each time has been better than the last. The best restaurant I’ve ever visited.

[ChumbahNutz]

So far, two 3* restuarants, and the experience and contrast between Atelier Crenn and Single Thread could not be wider.
Single Thread appears to be one of those encounters, that if you only got to experience it once you would count yourself very fortunate, and very happy.

Now this is a fine dining restaurant that I want to go to before I die. Beautiful and tasty, and professional without a hint of pretentiousness.

This is the most appealing one I’ve seen on the channel for a while, looks really great. Nice job Alex

[FishareFriendsNotFood]

This restaurant really seems like they are having fun playing with their food, and that's the highest compliment I can give a fine dining place

This might be my favorite episode. As an American, I think it's important that we respect other cultures and cuisines. This restaurant makes me feel like it respects Japanese cuisine to it's fullest while also not trying to imitate it. That sommelier was such a pleasure to watch as well. Thank you for the great episode! Can't wait for the new series you're teasing!

[Merlin_Price]

This one is gonna be hard to top this year. The fight to get here for the owners/chefs is a great asset. And the presentation is just superb. Love that they are letting that young man find his feet too. Rare to see.

[pomelo]

Never seen him so happy before ahaha goes to show this place was unforgettable

[jacoba]

I like how you appreciate and value the vibes of the space and the employees.

[rustinpieces]

You put the smile on my face that was lacking here all day; in miserable, late October-like climate conditions in The Netherlands. Keep up the good work Alexander!

[graceclement]

Thank you for sharing your dining experience. Your insightful observations and experienced palate make your videos a pleasure to watch. And thank you for your honesty, you call it as you see and taste it!

[markharris]

The best channel of this kind anywhere. So glad you started it....AWESOME!

[donladmulligan]

Always excellent compliments when a restaurant is outstanding. One of my most enjoyable YouTube subscriptions.

A beautiful episode. Thank you. I loved the sommelier too. Just a new fresh breeze through the 3 star environment.
