“Yess is a casual izakaya-style restaurant. I like dealing with direct fire and the philosophical idea of buying a whole fish and then processing it.” Today, Bon Appétit spends a day on the line with Junya Yamasaki, head chef at Yess in Los Angeles. Yamasaki follows the philosophy of buying a whole fish and using every part throughout the menu making sure nothing goes to waste. 00:00 Intro 01:38 Team Meeting 02:19 Prep Smoker and Grill 04:37 Fish Deliveries 05:47 Tuna Breakdown 11:33 Afternoon Prep 12:50 Team Tasting 14:28 Porcini Dish Tasting 17:10 Pre-Service Meeting 17:54 Last Minute Prep Want Bon Appétit shirts, hats and more? https://shop.bonappetit.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_brand=ba&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=video&utm_content=merch-shop-promo Still haven’t subscribed to Bon Appétit on YouTube? ►► http://bit.ly/1TLeyPn Want more Bon Appétit in your life?
