well that's it for my time here in Bruno
ziris kind of sad to leave a lot of
amazing meat memories were made here
again such a beautiful city so I'm
flying back to the US via Santiago Chile
but I extended my stay over so I'm going
to have over 24 hours there so let's go
back to Chile
[Music]
[Music]
found a Burger King by my terminal what
I love about South American countries is
that even at 8:00 in the morning you can
get a burger and this is their burger
with ham and cheese Oh I thought I had
eggs
too no eggs huh I thought I got an egg
burger they actually put scrambled eggs
inside your burger so if you want
breakfast and you want a burger you
could have both what I am really excited
for a big bucket of churs nobody orders
fries this early in the morning
so fresh
bash beef is awesome I'm really going to
miss the beef in this country that's try
this I saw them freshly make this oh
yeah they are Hy and hot fresh out of
the
fryer I mean not the best churs in the
world I say on part with
Disney nice and hot this stuff is
awesome all right got to hurry up and
eat boarding soon see you in chill
[Music]
wow that's a really beautiful view of
the city and the Indies mountains so
like I said only about a day a little
over a day that I'm here in Santiago I
have a reservation at a restaurant I
really want to eat at tonight now let's
go grab my lunch
[Music]
so this place I wanted to go to they
have actually two stores one is a
takeout place which I mistakenly went
into and this is their restaurant for
dining
wow okay this is a busy place this place
is absolutely packed and last time I got
the lito which is the pork this time I'm
getting the trasco which is the thinly
sliced beef I think most people here are
getting that it smells phenomenal oh man
[Music]
and I got the completo which has
everything out here gorgeous toasted
bread there's some uh looks like onions
and tomatoes a some chees loads of sour
Crut and then just a mountain of sliced
beef also a mountain of mayonnaise too
look at that that's a lot of mayonnaise
on this look at the size of this
sandwich oh man I'm so happy I get to
eat this again and of course got to
tackle this thing with Ma and Fork
there's no way you can lift this thing
without 80% of the ingredients falling
off all right this bun is so toasty is
absolutely falling apart as soon as I
stab into
it this is so amazing now I'm not sure
which one I like more the pork with the
beef this is some tender thinly sliced
beef I should really like the SAU crab
it's not overly sour perfect ingredient
to offset the richness of the beef the
onions and tomato sauce bring some
little tanginess little sweet and of
course this thing just loaded with
mayo oh so amazing I think the
sandwiches on this trip both here and
Uruguay some of my favorite things to
eat on this
trip there's so much beef in here all
beautifully tender and juicy now looking
around I I should have got cheese
everyone else got cheese in their
sandwich yeah I definitely would have
regretted now eating
this incredible
so I found this place on the way back to
the hotel this is uh one of the food
items look really good I don't know
exactly what it is it looks like it
involves a lot of seafood and fire I
have not had a lot of seafood for the
past week so this thing looks incredible
I hope it looks as good as the
[Music]
pictures
wow and here it is on a sizling play
that they actually light on fire this is
a ginormous amount of surf and turf so
there is steak I think sirloin there's
salmon shrimp a ginormous
octopus squid there's vegetables on the
bottom onions carrots tomatoes
cauliflower oh salmon is tender very
very juicy maybe I just haven't had fish
in a while this tastes so
good nice some fatty too I love the
seafood in this country there some chili
sauce they gave
me good amount of heat that was a
delicious shrimp ginormous beautifully
cooked yeah I feel like my body has
definitely craved
Seafood squid is delicious check this
out I got a ton of octopus
here okay this thing feels pretty tender
that's so
[Music]
tender but vegetables good this thing is
loaded with garlic there some broccoli
corn W pineapples and this is all going
to be drenched in the juice from the
seafood and the steak yeah this is a
delicious dish I do like the fact that
to give you a steak as well because
steak is something that's always going
to be welcome by
me very tender nicely
cooked there is a little but it's tender
this is a pretty delicious plate of food
oh look at
that seared
pineapple okay I'm so dumb it's not
pineapple it's a potato it's delicious I
think the best thing in here is the
octopus and the shrimp the octopus is
magnificent and this is a ginormous
plate of food giant steak giant
salmon I think this hot sauce is awesome
that's another thing I really like about
this country how much they love seafood
and they do it very well yeah this is a
hefty plate of food so I definitely need
to go for a run or walk around for a
long time after this to get ready for
dinner but worth it absolutely
delicious dinner is going to be really
special so this restaurant is one of the
highest rated restaurants in this
country it's actually rated number 24 in
the whole world welcome to
brago hello hello have your guest is
rain water rain water yes from the city
of Bia sh of Chile why do CH because
it's it's very cold it's very cold it
has micro climate wow never had rain
water before you know on
purpose M
wo taste so crisp that's delicious it's
very modern simplistic Decor as soon as
you walking you smell smoke so as you
can see it's a open kitchen I see people
visiting in there people are walking
around you can see all the food being
prepared brought over some
kombucha wo it's quite bitter so this
restaurant sources ingredients from over
200 different producers around
Chile wow look at this oh my goodness
that is a giant tomato yeah look at the
size of these tomatoes and our summer
menu
what I'm going to mix this tum p with
this
shoes we made with watermelon from the P
wow this is really beautiful I never
look at
this they brought over a giant enormous
potted plant a tomato plant it's a big
tomato not nearly as big as the ones
they just brought over these are
ginormous so inside this tomato as you
can see there's a straw here and inside
is they told me it's the tomato and also
H very particular kind of salt and then
watermelon juice and you suck it up
through this bamboo straw right
here wo oh that's extremely refreshing
it's
delicious I love tomato juice little
hands of saltiness and of course little
sweet from the watermelon juice really
refreshing I was kind of shocked by the
presentation cuz never expected a pot of
PL to show up on your plate like it's
literally on my plate that's pretty cool
it's very Innovative well
wow this is definitely going to go down
as the most Innovative dishes I've ever
seen so all this is edible so the top is
a flour made with uh the tomatoes I saw
earlier and right underneath I think is
the yeah it's a poppy seed salad with
tomatoes and the second part that I'm
eating is made with I think they said
pink Tomatoes after this part is done I
lift this LD up and there's a farm salad
inside this is the craziest most
Innovative thing ever and this whole
thing is edible including the
[Music]
stem that one tastes like almost like a
gummy tomato it's made with those
ginormous tomatoes from earlier the stem
tastes like a little brush stic so nice
and crunchy there's also chilies in
there as well so you're getting a bit of
heat too this going to pull this out see
this is the tomato with tons of spices
on
top that one tastes more Savory way more
juicy bright refreshing but definitely
more on the Savory side and open this
up
wow I thought they said house salad in
this maybe I heard wrong um but the
cream is almond
cream that tastes like super creamy
cheese I double check because I I
thought they said almond cream I thought
maybe I heard wrong yeah that's just
almond
cream like a little bit like a ricot
cheese this one is absolutely
bombastic so light and rich and creamy
this is from almond holy moly never
would have guessed in a million
years this is
delicious that's so good there's a
little popping the cherry tomato in
there as well 16 dishes I think I'm two
down I think that's my favorite so far
also all these plates and bowls and
spoons everything's made out of
stone like look at this it's just like
this thing weighs like 10
lb
wow this blowing my mind like I think
the last time I had something as
artistic as this it was at elenia in uh
Chicago three Michelin star place so
this is Dill flour I'm only supposed to
eat the outside flour this is a bee made
out of Cam bear cheese and the head is a
little black almond the orange thing is
a pumpkin and I'm supposed to dip it in
a truffle sauce on this little plate
there's definitely a lot going on here
and you hold the dill flour like this
and you eat the outside flour Parts not
even the the stems just the outside
flour I love it so
much Dill is one of my favorite things
in the world I love it in my cream
cheese and my BOS I love it in dumplings
and I love whatever they're doing here
so this is completely fried look at this
there's a cream in the middle of these
little flowers that I couldn't see
before Oh my gosh that's so
delicious very concentrated D flavor
which is
amazing and they fried it so
well never knew you could just eat Dill
flour like
this like a tempura
I was told not to eat the branches but
they're so good so you take the
bee oh shoot well I managed to put the
bee together as best as I could and
you're supposed to dip it into all right
I need both hands for this going to dip
it into the Truffle sauce and on the
bottom of the bee is a little
cracker M this is awesome the cheese
very very creamy rich
I love the crunch from the almonds I
love the crispy wings that cheese is
just incredibly creamy and Rich very
earthy from the Truffle sauce as well I
think this is my favorite though I'm
going to go home and try to tempora this
myself this is incredible and they're
very very attentive with the service so
right away you used your hands cute
little basket up here with wet's house
inside I feel like I'm eating an art
museum right now this is all like
beautiful pieces of food art these two
dishes are utilizing ingredients from
the south of Chile this is Chilean
barnacle and it's slightly grilled and
here this dish this is apparently the
biggest muscle you can find in southern
Chile and they call it uh the
interpretation is shoe muscle and inside
there's butter made with well the iners
of the muscle and there's a little piece
of peach right here that you squeeze
onto the muscle like lme juo supposed to
just grab it from the top and this the
the part of the bacle I'm supposed to
eat wow oh this smells so
good W this is absolutely incredible
this might be one of the best seafood
items I've ever had in my
life wo that is
sweet oh my God so good I think I was
only supposed to eat the pieces out that
were hanging outside of the shell I just
like dug into the shell a little bit
I've had Barnacles before and never
tasted like that usually Barnacles to me
is very very
griny that was sweet like a scallop when
you take a bite they releases an aroma
that almost tastes like Fresh Ocean Air
with roasted shellfish it's so delicate
and succulent and juicy it's buttery
Smoky a little little hint of brininess
that was
amazing and now for this ginormous
muscle this is the biggest muscle i'
ever seen also look at this spoon spoon
made from muscle
shell
wo the sauce is also made from the
muscles this is the peach I'm going to
squeeze
it squeeze it in oh this is not easy to
squeeze squeeze it as much as I
can it's incredible this has all the
Umami that these muscles can muster
muster texture-wise the muscles
themselves are
mindblowing the most delicate the most
fragile tender muscles you will ever put
in your mouth even if you look at it
wrong you'll probably damage it that's
how delicate they are I have no clue how
they made muscles so crazy soft and
tender like
this the broth Smokey buttery so much
Umami with a tiny hint of brininess it's
absolute 100% flavor concentrate you do
get a little snap from the
beans this is one of the most delicious
dishes I've ever put in my mouth this in
the Barnacle this is a three Michelin
star quality dish I kid you not I want
every single drop of this I don't know
if the the sweet peach added that much
to this dish you do taste like like a
fing pain of sweetness but I couldn't
get as much juice out of it as I wanted
regardless though yeah A+ 10 out of 10
five stars two thumbs up all that good
stuff here I'm sitting here still in
shock from that last dish so they told
me like the next dish is going to be a
snack and then there's going to be three
main dishes three I can live with
that another I mean thing of beauty look
at this on a stone Bowl on a half a what
looks like salt no no no this is ice and
a clam that I have to untie that's
pretty I love opening food presents by
the
way
wow that is so pretty so inside there's
tuna there's Chilean clams and the pink
broth is is made with a concentration of
a type of Chilean seafood and what I'm
supposed to do is eat everything on top
look some seaweed here as well these are
all the delicate clams look at this
different types of clams it looks like
and then I'm supposed to drink this
broth wow this is like the most
Exquisite Ceviche I've ever put in my
mouth the clam texture is is perfect
tender little
Snappy tiny bit of brininess the broth
is a little
citrusy my tuna is so tender in a
seaweed is wonderfully Snappy and
delicious that last plan was so sweet
ridiculously
this is like a pure
refreshing Ocean Dream right
now wonderfully amazing and then we
drink the
broth wow wo
citrusy this thing is just all Umami
like all
Umami oh like just the most concentrated
shellfish Umami in all the land or all
the sea
and when you when you shift it around
more soup is kind of coming out I love
this
place that is so
[Music]
awesome next course this is Chilean
Lobster on a on a stick the stick is
just the lobstering antenna and this is
gently roasted over charcoal so I'm
supposed to eat the lobster first and
next to it it's a little sip of soup
made with Chilean peppers and in the
middle I think that's a playoff Chilean
bean stew so these are Grado beans with
edible flowers on top and a grilled pink
Tomatoes I'm supposed to eat a flour eat
some beans eat a tomato this might be
the most beautiful dish I've ever seen
oh looks so pretty okay so the lobster
is a ginormous chunk of lobster dripping
with
juice oh my
God sweet succulent Smokey so juicy and
tender oh that's just kissed by the
smoke gods and this is the little juice
made with I think they said algae butter
and Chilean
Peppers oh wow that's so
good I don't know whether I was supposed
to take a bite of ler and then
immediately sip that broth I think maybe
I should have because it's incredibly
flavorful and so much depth in Umami I
feel like that would have been really
good with the Lobster at the same time
though I don't know cuz it's really nice
to just eat the Lobster on his own and
taste that beautiful Smoky and sweetness
of the lobster I don't know what I was
supposed to do that that little broth is
so good I wish I had a whole bowl that
that is spicy too that's so nice Okay so
this supposed to eat a flour so I guess
I'll grab a flour m it's be easier to
pick one
up right away got some beans FL is
really
sweet
M and then right away get a piece of
tomato
M that's lovely the flow starts off
really sweet and then becomes a little
like a almost like a scallion a little
spicy maybe I'm just imagining
it know sweet crunchy well different
flowers has little different flavors
tastes like you're munching on a garlic
stem it's nice and spicy the beans are
delicious mildly sweet nutty earthy I
like how they're tender but not mushy
it's got a really nice Cheo it this
broth that is sitting in it's
wonderfully Rich Little creamy this is
delicious and then the tomato is
basically a pet
cleanser warm Smoky sweet so much juice
yeah that's a wonderful palet
[Music]
cleanser wow this is so beautiful
vibrant
delicious so
good biggest
flow a so awesome all loor ingredients
like so creative with his use that was
an absolutely stunning dish I have a
presentation for the next course okay CH
Rulo always want to serve food from
Easter Island this is the yellow F uhhuh
what is it it's the F of tuna jell fin
is the type and we curing bwax for two
weeks what we want to add when we curing
we want to add flavor Aroma and texture
when we have the time we remove and we
cook directly on the fire wow okay this
smells and looks
incredible the top one this is the spine
of the king fish they use the spine part
because obviously the best flavor of
anything fish animal is going to be
right by the bones and here's the yellin
that was cured in beeswax and this is a
tuna belly and here is what they call a
Chilean Pana apparently fish just goes
around and eats Lobster and this dish
represents the Waters of Easter Island
which I really wanted to go maybe next
time let's just start with I I want to
taste this this is the tuna and Beeswax
all grilled over charcoal little
sprinkle so that's it and before he eat
just swipe it across I think the blue
represents the ocean
probably wow
the flavor is delicious Smoky almost has
a subtle sweetness to the flesh but it
is bit dry I was really expecting
something extremely melting your mouth
this is not that yeah you can see how
dry this thing is inside yeah tuna belly
I was expecting really fatty piece of
meat juicy piece of
meat flavor is good but try this pirana
fish looks like it still has some scales
on here which I think is going to bring
a nice crunch to it
m this is delicious this is Head and
Shoulders better than a tuna yeah the
scale are left on so they can add that
beautiful crunch like a smoky fishy chip
the flesh is just melt in your mouth
absolutely melts in your
mouth that's so
tender that's incredible and I think
you're just supposed to eat this like a
like a rib almost maybe pick it up on
either end eat it like a rib like
that yeah just pick it up right exactly
oh okay thank you oh if you want you a
for yeah yeah that might be good too so
you could do that or you can use a fork
in my case because I have to one hand is
holding a camera so this might be easier
for me for
now delicious King Fish this is very
very Smokey look at this a good amount
of fat on this piece as
well oh that fatty part's absolutely
melt in your mouth it is a firm but very
tender piece of fish
yeah it's like eating fish ribs no firm
but tender not bad I think my favorite
was definitely the the Chilean Pana and
then the king fish this is definitely
more of a dish that highlights the
natural Taste of the fish
itself and of
course I love knowing on Bones whether
it's a pork bone beef bone Fishbones and
look how lightly it's cooked this thing
is definitely rare in the middle so
you're getting some of that natural
sweetness of the fish as well very nice
so next course is a bread course there's
butter and there is bread so the Bread
is made from MAA which is a native
Chilean potato and they cook the bread
directly over hot
ash oh it's burning hot supposed to take
some
butter spread it over the potato bread
M really nice and toasty on the outside
wow you can definitely tell this is a
potato very strong strong potato flavor
a little sour it tastes almost
fermented in the inside it's a little
gooey oh that was really interesting
next course is the Lamb I didn't notice
this but they they were roasting whole
Lambs outside for about just been
roasting for about 4 hours and this is a
cut from the Lamb's stomach with a
little dust of salt on the
outside and with a tempora leaf with
truffle sauce underneath okay the lamb
looks
incredibly juicy look at that just a
little poke and juice is just gushing
out okay I am very excited for
this wao okay that was a very very
tender
cut wow absolutely delicious the skin is
crispy the meat is beyond juicy you
taste the smoke really no gaminess to
this whatsoever it's just a little bit
of salt this is an
extremely extremely tender piece of lamb
and roasted lamb is a very traditional
dish especially in Patagonia which I
really need to go to Patagonia because
apparently a lot of the best seafood
best food in general in this country all
in Patagonia and because this lamb is
cooked a sadle style and it's it's
phasing up so all the juice is dripping
down throughout the entire body of the
Lamb onto the charcoal creating smoke
and that smoke just goes back into this
delicious meat try some of this truffle
sauce wow so crispy the Truffle sauce is
delicious but honestly don't really need
it lame is so good on Patagonia next
time look at all that fat that's in here
too every time he chew like a Floodgate
of delicious meaty
juice the skin has such a nice subtle
little crunch just one of the most juicy
cut of lamb in existence and cooking
lamb masado style you got to be really
good at controlling the temperature the
fire that was absolutely
[Music]
perfect so next we're moving on to
dessert and this dessert is made with
sea strawberry so this is a sea
strawberry
and apparently it grows on the side of
the ocean in the rocks and doesn't need
any sunlight this is the dessert the
blue is just flu coloring he sets some
different ingredients in there the
middle is a sorbet and what I'm supposed
to do take the top off look at that
that's so interesting does kind of look
like a strawberry and squeeze the juice
into the dessert or the iners look at
this oh my gosh the inside is like a
jam it tastes like a light sweet
strawberry
jam this thing is very
refreshing and there's also sea
strawberries inside this as
well bright refreshing a little sticky
not bad one thing I will say about this
place I mean you got to be fit to work
here because lifting those plates you're
basically rock around with heavy Stones
everybody working here probably have to
go through a fitness test first
so this dessert on the bottom is an ice
cream made with a local Chilean Mushroom
in the middle it's a seaweed and on the
inside it's stuffed with wild berries
from Patagonia and on the top it's also
a seaweed that's caramelized I believe
and they said just uh pick it up from
the middle eat the bottom first and work
your way
up mushroom ice cream that's pretty
delicious and you definitely do taste a
mushroom chocolatey a little earthy
huh mushroom ice cream the chef must be
a fun
guy oh the SE on
top nice and crunchy a little
Savory it goes really well with the ice
cream wow so the SE provides that little
brininess so you get a little sweet and
salty this is a really good dessert very
Innovative beautiful again stuffed from
Patagonia I need to go to
[Music]
Patagonia last bite little lemon mering
Smoky lemon
[Applause]
mering cleanses the pallet and you get a
pretender fire breathing dragon so that
was a 16 course culinary Adventure
throughout Chile and the total cost
after everything comes out to be about
$200 because there's no Michelin system
in this country like this anywhere else
will easily be a one or probably two
melin star restaurant the food overall I
think it's pretty good there were of of
course some that hit really hard like
the muscle was incredible the muscle the
Barnacles that was 10 out of 10 also the
clam dish sitting on a on a little thing
of ice incredible in the tempura D those
I think were my favorites I think some I
thought were just okay like the
appetizers like the the tomato juice it
okay it just kind of tasted like tomato
juice a little bit of watermelon juice
the dish that didn't really resonate
with me at all is the fish dish I
thought the fish tasted fine it just
tasted like grow fish the blue sauce in
the middle I really didn't feel like it
tasted like much and I was super excited
for the tuna belly because they brought
over the whole tail it was cured in
beeswax for 2 weeks I thought it was
going to be amazing but that was like
probably the worst bite of the night I
think the zert the mushroom ice cream I
really liked the first one with the
sorbet I think that one's just okay but
honestly like I don't really like sorbet
overall I felt like this uh tasty menu
is one of the most Innovative creative
beautiful tasty menus I've ever seen I
compare this to elenia and the M three
Michelin star in Chicago you don't
usually see dishes as Innovative as I
saw tonight so overall I thought this
was a pretty phenomenal dining
experience I mean I'm glad I came I
definitely see why they are rated in the
top 50 restaurants in the world and
right now it's almost midnight that's
probably the latest dinner I've ever had
all right got to go back and go to sleep
as always all the place I went to list
down below for you guys thank you all so
much for watching till we eat again see
you later
