Belgian Bonanza with chef Michaël Vrijmoed

  • Résumé

  • Dave welcomes Belgian chef Michaël Vrijmoed of Restaurant Vrijmoed in Ghent for a conversation about seasonal cooking, ingredient precision, and the evolving world of fine dining. Alongside the regular crew, the episode moves from personal diet challenges to deep dives on fries, caviar, and the philosophy of hospitality.


    From Brussels Waffles to Michelin Plates – Jean recounts dining at three two-star restaurants, including Vrijmoed, highlighting standout dishes like crayfish mousse with caviar and crispy veal sweetbreads with black truffle. Michaël explains his approach to refined vegetable-focused plates and balanced tasting menus.


    Frites, Mayo, and Carbonade – A spirited debate on ideal fry size (10–12mm preferred), oil technique, and the superiority of mayo unfolds. Michaël outlines his two-step method and defends Belgium’s fry traditions, while Dave proposes U.S. carbonade fries and laments America’s sugary sauces.
