The new episode of The Chef’s Table is out. The burgers in the video look really good and the fact that I am really hungry at the moment isn’t helping. According to the info attached to the video, Eighty6 Bistro is now open in the Avenues. Lunch is served from 1pm – 4pm, and dinner from 8pm to 11pm. [YouTube]

I went there on Friday and they told me that they open only for dinner from 8-11pm
Yummy !
aham shy el experts ily ga3deen ethogoon!:P who are they? how can we trust ppl we don`t know ???? Maybe they were a part of the show! n its not real tasting !!
who the fuck eats a burger with a knife and fork!! Grab it with both hands and chomp down on that motha!! and stop asking so many questions 😛
thats what i thought at first but it turned out they were just cutting it in half so they could share it
is that so? my apologies to the ‘nice lady’ 😀
they should join kuwait & food group in the face book to introduce this clip also; wish ahmed all the best
I still don’t get it. Why do they speak english? why wont they just speak “Kuwairry”?! I mean… there are dozens of ‘cool’ Chef’s shows in english… but i’ve never heard of one worth watching in Arabic.
3azeez, it’s cool. That’s how they roll.
best thing in this clip is the chef’s ROLEX …
I dont get this, how come its a bistro and he doesn’t serve wines and liquor?
3azeez, ana 7addi ma3ak
its simply SHA7A6A :p
soory bs this is the truth
yiba ta7achaw q80!!
Burgers should never NEVER be cut in halves!!!
safi, the show is about the chef not the cool people testing the food, right? so far it seems like the chef would be more relaxed if he was talking in arabic ;/
3azeez .. loooool ta3jebni, why is the chef is waiting for their reactions? o metkhaser??! ;P he should b more careful for his body language ;P
specially in a videos of that kind
Whatsup with the bloody burgers ? I agree with the back to basics, but this is really more basic than I expected. Great food is also about pushing the envelope. If there is no chef highlighted in this retaurant, I think it might hit the mark in terms of customer expectations. Once you start highlighting chefs then the expectations is taken to a whole new level.
3azeez: don’t you know? It’s the “in” thing now to speak English…
you3aan… shaklaa latheeeth !
@3azeez
You read my mind!
I hate it when arabic people sit together and speak english or another language!!
The japanese, with all there technology and civilized way, are very proud of the culture and language that they REFUSE to speak it, or even learn it (they would if they had the chance, they just dont bother).
You know what, i’ll take those guys who came to kuwait from swaziland, and speak with them Swaheeli in that resturant so am all cool and that! LOL
walah shameful, lost there culture!
ee laish yetkalemoon engelezeee ya3ni sij sha7a6aaaa ..
o maLAQA ya3ni e7na coool o bel a5er kela badlyaaat
realist, im curious, do you cook? You seem like someone that has a passion for food 🙂
Witha ga3id itikalimoon english? Fee nas darseen 6ol 3omirhom ib madarast kha9a oo ghodrathom il loghawiya aghwa bil engilaizi. Fee nas im3aghideen bil kuwait oo 3indihom ‘inferiority complex’ and get really intimidated when someone speaks english…i personally love to see those people cringe and have that confused look on their face. But that just me..lool
casablanca, Only if I have the time and place. I travel most of my, more of a global nomad. I’m single so I basically dine out all of the time, so yeah I know a bit much about food to avoid the ones that will ruin my meal. 🙂
Realist; still looks maghoor wa mindag in a nicer way; other comments about speaking english ithink alfatheee ye3ml gatheee
It is really amazing that people lost focus on the main issue here which is the “The Chef’s Table” and the food. What the hell does the language has to do with it.
Qutaiba: it’s simple. You have a Kuwaiti chef, with a bunch of Kuwaiti (or at least Arabic-speaking) people, in Kuwait, and they’re speaking English. You don’t find that strange?
Yo, what’s the purpose of this video? Besides pure advertising 86, I see no added value in posting it.
This vid is purely about the restaurant, it’s the same silly people eating the food and making boring comments, not food critics objectively rating the food.
Since it’s the only public nightlife there is Kuwait anyways, there’s a real market for food & restaurant ratings in Kuwait. Where my critics at?
suny: sorry I don’t get what your saying.
Just to be on the safe side, I was being sarcastic when I mentioned it was cool to speak English.
People who think just speaking it is cool, are complete airheads.
Fortunately, I get to see them all over; it entertains me though. But whatever, to each their own (nonesense).
Qutaiba, I agree with u completely-and I can only criticise till after I have tried his food..
Qutaiba: I can’t agree with u more. What I’m focusing on is the chef’s table which has never been done in kwt- the closest is the tepanyaki table at sakura-and the opening of this place. Also what’s original is the fact that they’re promoting this place thru short videos, which I think is pretty cool. I can’t criticize until I try their food..
Anonymous Coward: you are missing the point, I am not here to decide on whether it is right or wrong to use the english langauge. Mark is posting about this new thing of chef’s table and comments should focus on the food of this new place so we should share our opinions about it.
Ya3ni plz what does his watch, his way of standing, his english, ….blah blah blah …. add to the discussion about the quality of the food of this new place ???
@kaleedo, fine let them speak english. Just dont call us “Kuwairys…” we’re KuwaiTis not Kuwairys or Queries…
I really wanna try this restaurant but my friend told me to wait out until all the glitches are gone, assuming there are some beginner’s glitches. I think sooner or later this restaurant will serve amazing food – the chef really is known to be excellent. Just a couple of pointers though. I wish the video was more about him cooking than watching people eating. But if he had to put people eating I wish he had chosen Kuwaiti MEN because when they eat they just look like they have a really good time. For marketing purposes if he had chosen a buncha guys with dishdashas and some with qitras and some without, with rolled up sleeves, and laughing and joking it would have been more fun to watch. The interaction in this video is a bit cold. That’s understandable because as a girl if I knew I was being videotaped I probably wouldn’t enjoy eating as much and that might just show on screen as well.
I’ve noticed lately that SOME Kuwaitis speak English rather than Arabic (Kuwaiti dialect), which is quite odd. I know that some of them are studying/have studied in English/American schools but that doesn’t mean that you have to speak English 24/7. There is nothing wrong with English. In fact, bilingualism is a plus. However, what bothers me is that they do not speak their own language, which is a bit sad. Everybody is free to speak whatever they wish, but the fact that they almost in a sense abandon their own language does not impress anybody at all. I did my under and postgraduate degrees in English linguistics and I don’t speak English 24/7 but only when I have to. There are occasions where it is normal to speak English, but uttering it with your Arab-speaking family and friends is annoying. I’ve actually met Kuwaitis who do not understand Kuwaiti words because of their English-mania.
@M – “The japanese, with all there technology and civilized way, are very proud of the culture and language that they REFUSE to speak it, or even learn it (they would if they had the chance, they just dont bother).”
Balderdash.
English education is a multi-billion dollar industry in Japan.

So there.
bald dude is a famous kuwaiti food critic guys…ever watched the spanish cook show?
ugh the way they talk pisses me off
especially the ppl sitting on the table ya3ni who are they to judge
could some1 plz tell me: where exactly in phase II this Bistro is ? thanks
Outside on the top floor near Karam Cafe. (take the door to the left of Napket)
English is a universal language, they are speaking to reach a wider audience, if they spoke arabic which they probably can, the expats and foreigners would not understand the video. The website 248am is based in english so are other websites. I don’t understand why people having difficulties understanding this concept. I guess the heat in kuwait kills brain cells cause some people here r retarted!
Again with the horrible backtrack music.. How can you be annoyed at your guests asking questions at a chef’s table? That’s what they do.. And potato chips at a chef’s table? Revolutionary..
