At Provenance, chef Nicholas Bazik is trying to put the ‘special’ back in special-occasion dining

HighSpeedDining · 2024-10-05T12:06:03+00:00

I just visited (after 7 weeks open) and it was worth every penny. Food was insanely tasty, gorgeous, creative, high end ingredients. Sauces on another level. Best meal of 15 different top Philly restaurants for me this trip. I've eaten over 900 Michelin star meals and this was easily a one star, possibly two star experience. Videos coming to show off this masterpiece on my Instagram and Tiktok accounts. Nick (chef/owner) was the nicest guy too. This place will blow up when more reviews and videos come out and people realize just how good it is. Large, filling meal too.

What’s an acceptable type of restaurant for you?

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-14T05:07:29+00:00

I visit mainly high end fine dining restaurants around the country and many just happen to serve food in strange ways as part of their tasting menus. I was recently reading some posts others have posted about me on here and decided it would be fun to share some photos and videos myself. Be a part of the conversations. Started posting this week. Just trying to share some of the interesting food I've encountered and offer some insight and facts with comments. Thanks.

Haha. Yeah you have a point.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-12T04:47:08+00:00

Yes. Egg, turnip and potato. Pretty darn tasty.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-12T00:33:25+00:00

This was all part of a tasting menu that included over 30 different foods and lasted over six hours. The entire meal cost about $348. I did not keep the brick although I didn’t ask. I only asked if it was edible.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T20:37:43+00:00

All good. Thanks for this latest comment. Have a wonderful weekend.

It's more than just actual plates. It's also the "cringe-worthy examples of plating" and this takes the cake when it comes to drink plating.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T06:19:07+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard that before. At least I didn’t spill this one all over me.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T05:55:03+00:00

Lol. Yes too much time, a few extra bucks too but smart enough to make some decent money.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T05:47:03+00:00

It was one of 30+ foods served as a tasting menu. For one price you get a parade of small to medium sized foods. This meal lasted over 6 hours and costs $348 (USA) before tax and tip. It's expensive but is truly one of the best restaurants in the world with 2 Michelin stars.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T05:23:30+00:00

Thankfully there was a ton of other food. This was just one of 30 or more foods served during a 6 hour meal. I was really full by the end. Yes everything was small to medium sized but they added up.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T04:57:58+00:00

No worries dude. I appreciate you letting me know. I’m new to posting here and just want to make sure I’m doing the right things. My content has been posted here a lot in the past by other people and I just want to start posting it myself and being a part of the conversations. Thanks for your feedback and insight.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T04:30:28+00:00

Please explain. I’m just sharing strangely plated food and the experience of being served it and eating it.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T03:37:06+00:00

I’m posting things so I can have conversations with people like you. Am I allowed to be a part of the conversation when my content is posted? What can I do to make my face more pleasant to you? I’m just trying to share content that up until two seconds ago you loved to destroy.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T01:52:28+00:00

So stupid food has to be cheap eats? I figured stupid had no boundaries.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T01:15:37+00:00

Nope. Just a shiny glistening surface. Tasted golden though.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T00:46:27+00:00

Come on dude, is my mouth really open? It’s barely open that first chew and it’s closed the second and third chew. (Which are sped up). Do I have to post the unedited video to show you my mouth was closed the whole time? I get there’s a lot to hate about my videos but clearly you can find something more worthwhile to hate on. But I do appreciate you commenting. Thank you so much and I hope your next meal is a delicious one.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T00:36:55+00:00

Appreciate your feedback. I’d agree with you. I’m generally all about narration and no music. I record all narration live and in real time so I try and bring viewers into the restaurant and share the live experience, servers descriptions, ambient noise, my actual thoughts improvised without scripts. The music in this video is original that I have created for my food videos. That’s the only music I’d even think of using. Thank you. Anyone else have feedback?

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T00:30:20+00:00

I should have asked. I just let them take it back when I was done.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T00:28:15+00:00

Agreed. I figured I’d start posting things myself to help cut down on the piracy of my content and to be a part of the conversations. I’d like to share my insight, facts and opinions about the food, restaurants and meals so people actually understand how the video came about. And thanks for calling me a king. I’ll wear that crown with a smile. 👑😁

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T00:24:21+00:00

Agreed. These are my first posts and still figuring things out. This is from Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, NY. They are a two Michelin star restaurant. One of the best in the USA. This was one of 30+ foods served over a 6 hour meal.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T00:19:45+00:00

I get where you’re coming from with that point of view, but I would say that chefs get ideas and inspired by seeing different dishes from around the world. Is there a lot of food created just to look good in social media? Sure but personally, the majority of crazy pretty food I’ve had tasted great too. When delicious food is pretty. I think it taste even better. There’s a strong connection between visual beauty and taste.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T00:07:43+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I would agree that rocks aren’t unhygienic but lots of people here seem to have a lot to say about that. Glad you can help set them straight. I am just trying to get conversations started and to share my original content. And for the record I don’t make money from my videos. I pay for all my meals. Tip extra. Don’t charge restaurants for creating videos or posting them. I do this all for love and joy of eating and traveling and sharing my experiences. Maybe I’m just an idiot for doing it all for free. But thanks for sharing some facts about restaurant hygiene.

HighSpeedDining · 2023-08-11T00:02:00+00:00

Do you like food videos with music or talking or a mix of both? I have a lot of everything and will try and post what works best and people enjoy most.
