[0:02] hello [0:03] are we there how you guys doing [0:08] thanks for coming I think we're live [0:13] mute that okay alright what's up guys [0:18] how's everyone doing I hope you guys got [0:22] like a margarita or something you know [0:25] it's like a little late at night I [0:26] couldn't get a video done I have to do [0:29] it I gotta make a living right so I'm [0:34] getting some sponsors and and they [0:38] require approval and I usually work up [0:40] until the moment the video goes alive so [0:44] in order to get that video approved for [0:47] Thursday I figured I'd just do a live [0:49] stream and lieu of a video I have a [0:53] couple of big videos I have to do so [0:55] they're kind of like taking up a lot of [0:58] planning and you know things are a [1:01] little bit crazy right now [1:02] thanks for sort of being patient or [1:05] slowed down with comments answering [1:07] comments it's just been a little bit [1:11] hard so I thought I'd just do a live [1:14] stream it's like you know a little [1:15] before bedtime I'm in my PJs I just [1:18] showered and I figured I'd just sort of [1:21] answer your questions so the way it's [1:25] going to work is we've got some [1:26] moderators in the chat cooking with CJ [1:30] and Monica Rodriguez these are my homies [1:34] they're gonna run the chat and Monica's [1:38] gonna ask questions so if you want to [1:40] get her attention [1:41] tag Monica Rodriguez and she's gonna [1:45] organize questions pass them along to me [1:47] and I'll do my best to answer as many as [1:50] I can [1:52] I don't know we'll see how long I can go [1:57] for those of you guys in Europe I'm [1:59] sorry it's so late I had you know I woke [2:04] up with a gash in my tire and I couldn't [2:07] spend the day dealing with it so I had [2:10] to keep filling air in it like [2:12] three times throughout the day and then [2:14] this afternoon I drove it and got it to [2:18] get worked on and pick it up in the [2:20] morning so anyway well done blabbering [2:23] cheers to all you guys have made it [2:26] thank you for all the support you guys [2:30] have been really amazing so let's just [2:33] figure out the questions let me see over [2:37] here Monica's got some questions [2:42] Monica make sure that you put the name [2:45] of the person who asked the question so [2:48] I can acknowledge them first question [2:52] who are your biggest food influencers [2:56] I'm assuming you mean like influences [3:01] that's case I'd have to say obviously [3:04] Anthony Bourdain sat at the heat and [3:09] Gary's eggs company they sent me this [3:11] thing and this is probably the coolest [3:13] gift I've ever gotten [3:15] especially from a company so just so you [3:19] guys know Pete and Gary's eggs are like [3:21] they're cool they know what's up and [3:23] they got good eggs so this guy Francis [3:27] maehlman he's he was in the first season [3:30] of chefs table it cooks with fire he's [3:32] big sort of elaborate outdoor seems I'm [3:35] really influenced by him I'm pretty much [3:37] influenced by anyone who's ever been on [3:39] a chef's table episode food influences [3:47] there's so many I mean I just like I [3:49] enjoy just when I'm bored I sort of just [3:54] like find some video online hopefully [3:57] Netflix has like a this new thing they [4:00] had taco chronicles that's been such a [4:05] big inspiration every episode is sort of [4:07] like an episode on tacos and it's shot [4:10] sort of in the same style as chef's [4:12] table so that's that's the kind of stuff [4:16] that I'm really inspired by it's really [4:17] hard for me to pick out there's like so [4:19] many chefs and and food people that I [4:22] love [4:24] it's it's hard I mean anyway [4:28] I'm moving on to another one first job [4:31] that encouraged you to want to cook I [4:34] actually in high school my first job was [4:37] actually a dishwasher at like a [4:39] nineteenth hole kind of restaurant on a [4:42] golf course and I love golf so it's sort [4:45] of a cool thing to do it was sort of a [4:49] you would think a dishwasher job is sort [4:51] of like a rough job but I somehow loved [4:54] it I like the I liked working in that [4:57] sort of environment I didn't have too [5:00] much responsibility to like screw [5:01] anything out but every now and then I [5:04] would be asked to help with the chef I'm [5:07] liking a meat chicken chicken fry up [5:10] some chicken fingers make a salad help [5:14] prep and I was sort of my first exposure [5:16] to it and you know it's just a summer [5:19] job I don't really care that much but he [5:22] did enjoy it you know people would party [5:25] after the shift and have drinks and [5:27] stuff like that so I sort of been I like [5:30] that idea of like work hard play hard so [5:37] that's probably my first like I probably [5:40] gave me my first taste of what I do now [5:43] when something you've never made but [5:45] would love to make and make perfect [5:48] baking want to get better at baking I [5:51] don't know much about baking if you guys [5:54] saw my mature video 4 3 6 8 I obviously [6:00] don't know like what the Cherno is [6:02] supposed to look like so I screwed that [6:04] up so I'm just baking general hat is [6:11] what is one thing you think home cook [6:14] should do immediately took up their [6:15] cooking game knife skills definitely [6:19] knife skills if you're good at with a [6:22] knife then like the 30 minutes of prep [6:24] you would normally do like chopping [6:26] everything up takes you 5 minutes and [6:29] and you get cooking quicker and then [6:32] it's like a barrier to entry that you're [6:35] moving you know you're just [6:37] faster prepping everything you can get [6:39] organized quicker it'll change your game [6:42] also having a pantry like really really [6:45] think about a pantry like Rice's grains [6:48] pastas vinegars oils things you can just [6:54] quickly make a starch that you can just [6:57] go out and buy a vegetable and a protein [7:00] and then you have a dinner so like you [7:02] know quinoa is barley farro rice white [7:05] rice brown rice just get a variety of [7:07] these things and you can sort of mix it [7:08] up that way [7:12] favorite pizza in New York is Rubirosa [7:17] vodka pie or Shore with some pepperoni [7:20] on it maybe but I'm just like I like it [7:22] plain I think it's really interesting to [7:25] switch up the sauce to a vodka sauce [7:28] which is obviously delicious sorry we I [7:33] don't have any names coming so I can't [7:36] acknowledge anything Monica what are you [7:39] doing over here I don't pay you the big [7:42] bucks to leave out names what this [7:46] reminds you of your childhood the most [7:49] it's got to be shoot it's gotta be pasta [7:59] and meatballs I remember going to my [8:03] grandma's house and pretty much like the [8:06] only thing I remember her ever making [8:08] for us was pot roast and pasta and [8:11] meatballs and exhausted and stuff like [8:12] that my mom's grandma didn't reaches to [8:18] my grandpa here my mom's grandpa was [8:21] German so my mom's mom did it make so [8:24] much Italian like I don't remember her [8:26] make killing Italian dishes my dad's mom [8:28] was more of an Italian cook and you know [8:33] she she was sort of gave me the only [8:36] sort of feeling of like you know sunday [8:38] family meatball dinner whenever I went [8:42] up to visit them so that was definitely [8:44] my first really favorite meal I think [8:49] these favorite thing to eat or make I [8:52] hate olives and coconut but like I like [8:59] olive oil and coconut water so who knows [9:03] but I can taste coconut from a mile away [9:05] I just I cannot stand it I can't believe [9:08] people actually eat it like I put dead [9:11] stuff when I'm like on a beach and it [9:13] likes I can smell it so it's like [9:15] whenever I taste it it smells like you [9:17] know suntan lotion essentially oh it's [9:19] gross not so big into like lots of offal [9:24] and like you know sweetbreads stuff like [9:27] that not my favorite [9:33] okay she's I hear we got a lot of [9:35] questions coming in we get like batches [9:37] coming in like crazy so bear with me how [9:42] are you able to take a step and follow [9:45] your dream uh well I sort of had no [9:48] choice I spent ten years sort of like [9:53] meandering and figuring out things and [9:55] trying different things and then before [9:58] the show happened sort of I guess the [10:02] end of 2017 beginning of 2018 I was [10:05] running a production company and I just [10:07] gotten like a big a big deal with like [10:09] runs Oni and like no yolks noodles and [10:12] like a family of regional pasta brands [10:15] that is under that and and that was like [10:18] a ton of money I was gonna really yeah [10:21] it'll live comfortably [10:22] I was also engaged at the time six [10:26] months away from getting married and I [10:29] the marriage fell apart a wedding [10:31] engagement fell apart and be my [10:34] production that client I had a new [10:37] director of marketing and like halted [10:38] all operations pretty much halting my [10:41] life to an incredible stop and and so I [10:45] needed I had like I was like basically [10:48] back against the wall what's something [10:51] I've always wanted to do never did [10:53] didn't care about what anybody thought [10:55] of what would happen I sort of just knew [10:59] I had it in me and [11:01] I bet on myself and you know I had ten [11:04] years of skills like the things you see [11:06] me do it's not because I'm like a [11:08] magician like I've been doing this for [11:11] years and I've been practicing and [11:13] somehow it all just came together in [11:15] this sort of I don't know I felt like [11:18] just channeling right I didn't think [11:21] much it was just like channeling [11:22] something that was in me and letting it [11:25] out and not being afraid to sort of have [11:28] a not be liked or have people in my life [11:31] judged me for what I was doing it did [11:33] seem crazy to people my life when I was [11:37] like hey in light of what just happened [11:39] I'm gonna go start like the best cooking [11:40] show that there ever was in my opinion [11:42] or try to most people in my life are [11:44] sort of looking at me like what the hell [11:46] are you doing like are you about to just [11:48] ruin your life so I was sort of in the [11:53] hole and this was my big bet to get [11:57] myself out of it and 1617 months later [12:01] it seems to be paying off pretty well so [12:03] I'm grateful for all of you you've [12:05] really helped me pull me out of a ditch [12:08] that you know at the time I really [12:11] didn't think I was going to get out of [12:12] and and so yeah I mean very grateful to [12:16] all of you it's why I care so much it's [12:19] why I get upset when I can't answer [12:21] every comment it's part of my service [12:24] like really try to figure out how as I [12:28] grow to still stay in touch with you [12:30] guys but now I'm just saying if you [12:34] really need to reach me reach me on a [12:36] direct message on Instagram at the food [12:38] freak with two K's but yeah I mean I'm [12:42] very grateful for all of you so that's [12:45] that story get that out of the way now [12:48] you know that about me it's like you [12:51] know I'm like an open book now it's [12:52] crazy [12:53] what else what's your favorite food [12:56] movie scene I just re-watched chef [12:58] because that Netflix show that came on [13:02] and I just love that movie we keep the [13:07] first half of that movie basically the [13:11] shot scene where he was cooking that's [13:13] some of the best [13:14] cinema or Shore but there's so many [13:18] great ones favorite sandwich [13:21] in and out burger has to be I know I [13:24] it's probably because I can't get it I [13:27] can't really I can make it close but I [13:29] cannot make what they make I don't have [13:31] the ingredients and and since it's like [13:35] a forbidden fruit it has to be my [13:37] favorite thing tell us more about your [13:42] culinary background when I graduated [13:47] college I worked in advertising I hated [13:49] it it sucked and at the same time I [13:52] learned about food how food was produced [13:54] in this company mainly you know for evil [13:57] bad dirty companies I started to figure [14:00] out what was going on that debate is for [14:04] another time but basically that got me [14:06] cooking when I was miserable my job in [14:08] advertising I wanted to plan a food [14:10] truck get my way out of there and so I [14:13] thought if I was planning the food truck [14:15] I might as well document my cooking and [14:16] so I started this food blog the food [14:20] freak to learn how to figure out how to [14:23] cook and I documented it and it was very [14:25] much at the time not people didn't use [14:27] photos and recipes and cookbooks so I [14:29] took I'm Dyslexic if you can't tell by [14:32] all the misspellings in the videos so I [14:35] took the idea of like lots of pictures I [14:37] wanted to show people the visual of the [14:39] recipe and I did that for a year then I [14:42] started the food truck with my brother [14:43] and another guy were both chefs so just [14:46] being next to them rubbed off on me we [14:49] were put in some pretty rough situations [14:50] and I was basically thrown into the fire [14:52] and I survived I came out the other side [14:55] like capable of like having culinary [14:58] chops and then over the next few years I [15:00] had a production company specializing in [15:02] food and I cooked for myself and just [15:04] developed over time and before you know [15:06] and you're cooking for 10 years and [15:08] you're pretty decent at it and if you [15:10] keep learning and studying new things [15:12] like the show has really elevated my [15:15] cooking like it wasn't even this good at [15:17] cooking 16 months ago it's because I [15:19] feel pressure to get better and like [15:22] when I make a pasta recipe I want to [15:24] really nail the pasta recipe so I'm [15:26] going to do research [15:27] study and figure out all the ways that [15:30] there ought to make it and if there's a [15:31] way that's traditional that I can make [15:33] easier for our home cook then like I'm [15:35] really thinking in that world so it's [15:40] just constant evolution like I'll get [15:42] better as I go along and I hope as you [15:44] see me get better [15:45] you're like oh I can get better too and [15:48] like I don't ever want to be you you [15:50] guys think I'm like above any of you [15:52] guys like I'm in a different stage maybe [15:54] than you are if you're some of you who [15:56] watch me are probably above me like I [15:58] know other creators who have YouTube [16:00] channels that like I'm not as good at [16:02] technically and I go to them [16:05] friends that and I ask them stuff you [16:08] know are you so I'm always learning the [16:10] show isn't like I am Gordon Ramsay and [16:12] I'm teaching you as an expert on [16:14] everything like I'm doing my diligence [16:16] I'm studying I'm getting better and [16:18] that's what cooking is I mean nobody [16:20] knows at all and that's what I think is [16:23] great about it we're on the same boat [16:25] we're just like kind of in different [16:26] levels and we can inspire each other and [16:29] push each other to get better and at the [16:32] end of the day the goal is to just enjoy [16:34] life more like the whole reason I do [16:36] this is because I enjoy life through [16:38] food people who I've entertained for [16:40] enjoy the food I prepared because I feel [16:43] like a pair with love and care and I [16:46] want them to thoroughly enjoy it and by [16:48] doing that I get pleasure out of it I [16:50] enjoy my time when I entertain and it's [16:53] just something that I I feel like you [16:56] know when you can cook your family a [16:57] meal your friends it's something every [16:59] human who may not do that now might [17:02] experience that down the road and be [17:04] like holy crap like this is the best [17:06] thing ever how did I not do this before [17:09] so yeah that's that man I'm just getting [17:13] drowned in comments and killed over here [17:16] Bobby buns how tall you 5 8 there's out [17:20] karela did you go to culinary school no [17:23] Lindsay asked do you bake will you ever [17:27] see on the channel I I do bake I'm not [17:29] great at it when I bake I'll have no [17:32] confidence and you'll see it and it'll [17:33] be sort of like learning and outside of [17:37] recipes that maybe me and my family that [17:39] I've done [17:41] what's your favorite cooking channel in [17:42] YouTube [17:46] Alex French guy cooking has one of the [17:48] best for sure I really like the bone [17:53] Appetit people who else there's so many [18:04] I mean I'm watching Italia squiz eita [18:12] I'm there like an Italian YouTube [18:15] channel and I do a lot of it is just in [18:19] Italian it's not in English some of them [18:22] have subtitles watch that a lot I really [18:24] I just like scrolling YouTube all of the [18:28] cooking stuff I watch a lot of grandmas [18:31] when I did my Mexican Street corn I [18:34] watched like a little camera footage [18:36] from Mexican Street corn benders watch [18:38] how they actually like prepared it once [18:41] the corn was cooked so yeah I mean [18:46] that's it what cuisine would you like to [18:50] explore and try cooking I try to explore [18:55] all the ones that I like I'd like to get [18:57] better at Asian I don't know I'm aid the [19:00] style of Asian with like the wok cooking [19:02] becomes difficult at home so that is [19:07] something I'd like to get better at [19:10] that's it besides favorite sauces [19:19] besides the Verde probably just like a [19:22] rich wine reduction sauce on a steak [19:25] like a holiday something simple like [19:27] that there is the sauce at a restaurant [19:30] called Marc Forgione in New York City [19:32] it's called sauce proposal it's like a [19:34] soy lime butter emulsion that goes on a [19:39] halibut and it is like the most [19:41] ridiculous sauce ever [19:42] I've tried to make it have come close [19:44] I'll probably work on it and I'll try [19:46] and share and figure it out on the [19:48] channel some point you had a chance to [19:52] cook the Tony Bourdain what would you [19:54] cook for I don't know I would [19:58] I was cooking for him I want to cook [20:00] pasta and see what he thought angel you [20:05] and [20:06] jooheon nuyen as a 19 year old do you [20:11] think YouTube is one of the best ways to [20:13] have a chance in the culinary industry [20:15] like going to culinary school to see if [20:17] you have a chance at it I don't know [20:21] because I sort of cut my teeth in the [20:24] hellish situation of running a food [20:26] truck in a brutal to do in a brutal city [20:30] so at the end of it I realized I didn't [20:33] want to be in culinary school or like [20:34] being a restaurant but culinary school [20:37] is expensive and it's you still have to [20:42] get a job afterwards and do all that I [20:44] don't know I think everybody has a [20:46] different path my path was sort of I [20:49] learned best on my own I learned with my [20:52] eyes so like watching people do things [20:54] and having internet available and being [20:56] able to just steal things with my eyes [20:58] is a better way for me to learn you sort [21:01] of have to just know if you want really [21:03] at that top knowledge I would go to [21:06] culinary school I mean my brother went [21:08] there made him a great cook it's like [21:09] sort of bulletproof with your favorite [21:15] meal to eat not just to cook barbecue [21:17] and love eating barbecue and I love [21:21] cooking it but I can't really eat a lot [21:23] of it after spent 12 hours cooking it so [21:26] somebody's making it for me I can chow [21:28] down we never make lasagna by tech daily [21:31] yes I will J and hums asks pita bread I [21:37] can't get it to puff what am I doing [21:41] wrong I don't know I've never made pita [21:42] bread I the store seems to have them [21:44] better than I feel like I can make them [21:46] or I just haven't made them yet I [21:48] haven't figured that out but we'll do it [21:49] on the show eventually and and hopefully [21:53] we can solve that for you kickin know [21:57] what did you eat today what did I eat [22:00] today oh so Friday Thursday's video [22:05] spaghetti alle vongole Oh spaghetti [22:07] clamps I had that for lunch and I was [22:10] panicking the end of the day I was [22:11] rushing so I just ordered a Shake Shack [22:13] burger and fries [22:19] I've never been in Italy before yes I [22:21] lived there for three months in college [22:23] in Florence [22:24] I'm via the Navy so if anyone from here [22:28] is on Florence I used to live across [22:30] from this place called Yami Yami it was [22:32] a kebab shop that was the best place [22:34] ever they were the only people in the [22:35] city who tried to help me learn to speak [22:38] Italian and they closed and you ever go [22:42] to Italy visit this street via Bonetti [22:44] and ERI and it was one of my favorite [22:48] streets it was such a it was a an [22:51] apartment I guess the school had for us [22:54] exchange students and it was like they [22:57] couldn't put us in a cooler a better [22:59] spot and it was so awesome what's the [23:03] most intimidating dish you've made so [23:05] far when you practice the most [23:10] oh shoot I don't know I'm gonna skip [23:17] that cuz I can't think of an answer fast [23:19] enough what's your absolute favorite [23:22] dessert of all time I don't know I'm a [23:29] huge dessert person I like cake they are [23:36] just like that did these obscure weird [23:38] desserts in New York City when you go [23:39] out to dinner well it's like it doesn't [23:42] look or sound amazing but like it just [23:44] blows your mind like I like things with [23:46] texture so lots of texture so like [23:49] somebody makes like a s'more dish but [23:51] recreates it I love stuff like that [23:57] here's one thing I wonder nice time [24:05] so these are like written a little weird [24:07] so I can't breathe him and understand [24:09] the quick enough so I'm just gonna skip [24:11] math you asked how are you I'm okay [24:14] apparently Lisa's like this Capricorn [24:16] Eclipse some astrology thing which is [24:18] I'm using to justify a weird week I'm [24:21] having but all good thank you [24:24] starvin STR bns has YouTube transition [24:29] to be your full-time income [24:30] it was my full-time income since I [24:32] started a channel even when I was making [24:34] no income from it but I was always [24:35] working with a company or doing [24:38] something that was bringing income in so [24:40] whether it was MOT the channels [24:41] monetized like you're gonna see the next [24:43] video sponsored like that hasn't always [24:45] been the case it's starting to become [24:47] more the case now but before I was just [24:49] like using my photography skills my [24:51] videography skills my marketing skills [24:53] all that stuff to just make sure I was [24:55] bringing money somehow through my [24:57] production company whether it was small [24:58] or big or whatever that was keeping me [25:01] afloat now how have you managed to live [25:10] in New York on your own before better [25:12] financial opportunities I lived at home [25:15] I after my bad breakup and that thing [25:18] happened I was like I'm gonna do I'm [25:19] gonna if I can if I think I'm gonna [25:21] start this channel and I can do it [25:23] better I want to have no I want to have [25:27] no stressors right so even if I could [25:30] have moved into the city I wouldn't have [25:33] hadn't found a better kitchen that would [25:35] have like maids I would have had a good [25:37] kitchen [25:37] I couldn't have barbecued outside which [25:39] is how I make money [25:41] and then I would have just paid money to [25:43] live in the kitchen live in the city in [25:45] apartment in the city and reversed [25:47] commute back and forth and I'm just [25:48] throwing money away when I need to be [25:50] pouring it into the show so I mean I'm [25:54] still living out of my parents house [25:56] right now I'm don't know how I don't [25:59] know where I'm gonna bring the show and [26:01] so that's stressing me out so instead of [26:04] actually doing something about it [26:05] I don't do anything about I just static [26:07] status quo things have been getting [26:09] crazy right now so like I really [26:11] eventually I have to find a new home for [26:14] the show [26:15] that's too big of a task for me to [26:17] handle right now too busy just trying to [26:20] figure out how to make the that this is [26:23] a business for me so I'm trying to make [26:25] that viable which is working it just [26:28] takes organization and time and I still [26:30] have to kind of get the show rolling so [26:32] that's sort of where I'm at now I [26:35] suggest anybody do it if you feel like [26:37] it's like a weird thing don't if you're [26:39] gonna mooch off your parents then yeah [26:41] that's bad but if you've got something [26:43] you got to do and you're feeling like [26:45] you can't do it with your current [26:46] commitments then strip out your [26:48] commitments that's it's not a big deal [26:50] the only people who are going to judge [26:52] you with people who like care about [26:54] stupid crap so you know you do what you [26:58] got to do for the future [27:00] you know everybody's so tied up in the [27:02] now we don't have enough long-term [27:04] thinkers like think about your life in [27:06] the long term like I'm trying I'm my [27:08] goal is to have a month in Hawaii every [27:11] year because I have a house there that [27:13] I'm gonna do a Hawaii edition on the [27:14] show I can't afford that now it's a [27:17] dream and that's part something I want [27:18] to do that's fun for the show I'm [27:20] working towards that so I'm doing what I [27:22] have to do now so that we can have lots [27:24] of fun down the road without any sort of [27:26] restrictions so that's that's that where [27:33] we are here I've seen the weekday sauce [27:40] I've seen weekday sauce where Sunday [27:43] sauce it's coming it's just not that [27:45] time it's summer like I'm not gonna you [27:48] don't you don't cook things on the stove [27:50] in the summer for like hours all day you [27:53] know that's a fall you know Sunday [27:55] football kind of thing so we'll get to [27:57] it listen to any music doing cooking [28:00] keep you in the mood when the process [28:02] gets long yeah I have look me up on [28:06] Spotify Steve casado [28:08] I have playlists and also kind of fun [28:11] stuff but good music do you think you'll [28:14] be doing [28:15] Spanish recipes ooh yeah I like Spanish [28:17] recipes Terry hey Carrie [28:19] how you doing much love have you found [28:22] the most amazing what have you found the [28:26] most amazing since your channel has [28:28] taken off and what are you planning to [28:30] keep - what do you plan to do to keep up [28:32] the momentum oh I've got a spaghetti [28:34] dish coming up on Thursday and those [28:37] seem to do really well if you guys [28:40] haven't noticed that that's sort of [28:41] where most of the growth has come from [28:44] it's been great like I think the biggest [28:47] thing it's done for me personally is [28:49] it's taken something that has been like [28:52] risky and I grown fast but like from [28:55] where I was coming from like I I was [28:57] trying to go guns blazing select I was [28:59] sort of growing slow so you guys have [29:01] sort of helped create a viability to my [29:04] life and that's been the biggest change [29:07] since all of this momentum and that is [29:10] huge you know I mean like your acute [29:12] basically saving a life so you should [29:15] all be very you should all know how [29:21] grateful I am so again I'll keep saying [29:24] it till the day I die I was wondering if [29:28] Steve had any recipes for super hot hot [29:30] sauce no but like I I know what you're [29:34] saying like maybe we'll do that down the [29:36] road and I don't mean I just don't eat [29:39] super super hot so it's like I don't [29:40] know why I'm doing that much Brian Brian [29:46] Sellars Brian how was your experience at [29:49] v68 so much fun so I was like I just [29:53] speak at three six eight this last week [29:55] and there was a speech on identity so I [30:03] ten minutes to speak and I wrote this [30:05] whole thing was gonna take like 45 [30:06] minutes to say I was panicking and I [30:09] called Brian who gives motivational [30:11] speeches and he's amazing and should go [30:13] check him out and I was like I don't [30:17] know how to do this like how do I even [30:19] gonna figure this out talking through it [30:21] he was like dude your visual just not a [30:22] PowerPoint do photos a lot so I did that [30:25] he saved it I still [30:28] delivered like I wanted to but he helped [30:30] make it what it was and thought much [30:33] loved him it was a great experience I [30:35] mean six months ago I was going there [30:37] super nervous not knowing anybody [30:39] thinking nobody cared about me and then [30:41] now I was asked to speak at this thing [30:44] and had people listen to me it was sort [30:46] of surreal but it was amazing and very [30:50] fortunate to have some friends over [30:53] there [30:54] it's always fun kind of going there and [30:56] mingling with other Creators I'm really [30:59] interested in figuring out and working [31:01] with them to do a food thing so I can [31:02] sort of bring creators from around the [31:05] country that I know and I've made [31:08] friends with and maybe we could do [31:09] something fun so I want to do that I'm [31:12] just scared of planning something like [31:14] that it's just like I get that freaks me [31:16] out I really want to do it but I don't [31:18] know how to plan it so we'll see truly [31:23] do you like potatoes yes I love potatoes [31:26] and my favorite what do you think of [31:30] Indian cuisine I like it I don't know [31:33] much about it I wish there's more [31:36] texture I don't I don't love how it's [31:38] all sauces right like obviously like the [31:42] chicken with sauces are good but I wish [31:45] there's more texture there's this one [31:47] thing like that [31:47] it's called al ago B it's like fried [31:51] cauliflower and like this tangy tomato [31:53] sauce [31:54] it's delicious that's one of my favorite [31:57] things it's cauliflower that like eats [31:58] like chicken where are you from New York [32:03] Westchester just above the city have you [32:09] ever done pomodoro sauce that was spicy [32:11] not from a pepper but the basil no I [32:15] don't understand that one [32:20] sterling Gonzales I'm in culinary school [32:24] now any tips [32:27] other than gaining experience you can [32:29] give myself or other students you like [32:35] if I personally think that ever a lot of [32:38] chefs [32:39] they're always in competition with one [32:41] another they're like it's a convict it's [32:45] like a race to the top who can be the [32:47] best chef I would try and just like [32:50] build a different dynamic in that world [32:52] like be less competitive be more [32:54] supportive and if you want to excel in a [32:59] kitchen I would care more to show more [33:01] care show up early leave late like be [33:06] the one who cares more than the other [33:08] I'm trying to do that myself a little [33:10] bit as like a youtuber like I'm trying [33:15] to care a little bit more so I would [33:20] give that advice to literally anybody [33:21] who is trying to figure that something [33:23] out like that well whatever you're doing [33:26] just care a little bit more um do you [33:34] like when people make and post your [33:35] recipes I love it you make my recipes [33:37] make sure you go on Instagram make a [33:39] story and tag me in it the food freak - [33:42] the food freak with two K's that's my [33:45] favorite do you know why my favorite [33:47] because it's showing me that you guys [33:50] don't like there's an these recipes [33:52] aren't intimidating it's showing I'm [33:54] able to track progression of these [33:56] people who I make build relationships [33:59] with and see their skills get better so [34:01] for me as like just sort of to make sure [34:05] I'm doing a good job I like to see that [34:09] and what I think it does is encourages [34:13] people who are seeing that to make more [34:14] recipes and they're like oh look at all [34:16] these people cooking like why aren't I [34:17] cooking it's like a social like a [34:19] collective social guilt that we're [34:21] imparting on others who haven't started [34:24] cooking it so I love that Rob Laura [34:31] Morales what advice could you offer to [34:36] aspiring food bloggers to get started I [34:38] have an idea but would appreciate your [34:40] advice well it's like what do you okay [34:45] why why are you doing what you're doing [34:48] ask yourself that question if you have a [34:50] good answer with it then like [34:52] then you're on a good track if you if [34:56] you're doing something like food [34:58] blogging you're doing something like [34:59] this and you don't really have this [35:02] thing this reason why that is out that [35:05] is that doesn't include views well you [35:09] know notoriety or anything like that [35:11] you have a genuine reason for doing what [35:13] you're doing then I think you have a [35:15] really good shot of being successful on [35:17] it I think you can be successful if you [35:20] have those superficial motivations of [35:23] course it exists people are famous [35:26] because of doing ridiculous stuff but [35:29] like you need to have a why and I would [35:32] think bring the value like whatever [35:34] you're doing figure out how how its [35:38] highlighting a thing you are uniquely [35:40] better at than most people and then [35:42] share that value with those people so [35:45] that they can get as good as you that's [35:48] to me sort of what I try to do and seems [35:51] like if you're genuine about it it [35:53] resonates with people so that's my [35:57] advice I'm moving into my first [35:59] apartment [36:00] Amy Han I'm moving into my first [36:02] apartment after college this year what I [36:05] must have kitchen tools favorite cutting [36:07] boards if said for a new cook [36:10] I would it depends on a budget obviously [36:13] budgets play a huge factor because I'm [36:16] about to tell you what my favorite [36:17] cutting boards of whose board and they [36:19] can range from $50 to $250 a good [36:25] cutting board that has some thickness to [36:26] it is important has such a good size to [36:29] it not like one of those small ones [36:30] where everything is rolling off of it a [36:32] good night I have an Amazon store if you [36:36] guys don't know it's in the description [36:37] of every video and in that store I have [36:41] things I'm grilling a section for [36:43] cooking equipment and in the cooking [36:46] equipment I'll have a variety of knives [36:48] that are used like I set of knives that [36:49] you don't see in the show that a [36:51] personal that I have that are expensive [36:53] you'll see the set of knives that are [36:55] the Victoria Knox chef's knives that I [36:57] have they'll be there my cutting boards [36:59] will be there and then I have different [37:00] price points for all of those things and [37:03] I have a lot of stuff there [37:06] so if you really want to shop I get a [37:09] little percentage of the money from [37:11] there you don't have to buy this stuff [37:12] that I have in there these are [37:14] suggestions right some of them aren't [37:17] probably the greatest things I just [37:20] wanted to have this idea of like what [37:22] you should have there as some of the [37:26] things that I use like I don't go out [37:27] and buy the best spatula all the time [37:30] you know I mean so I'm still able to [37:32] cook well so you don't need to buy the [37:34] best stuff necessarily but you will find [37:36] like tongs cheap tongs are cheap and [37:39] they don't really work well so like [37:41] maybe spend a little bit money on tongs [37:43] and the cutting board you know a good [37:45] knife all that kind of stuff and a good [37:47] knife shouldn't cost you $150 a good [37:49] night should cost you around 30 bucks so [37:51] all that stuff should be down in the [37:53] description of all of my videos if you [37:55] ever want to check it out okay where's [38:00] the best burger in New York City Minetta [38:03] tavern black or label burger or ever had [38:06] them another Minetta tavern Black Label [38:08] burger I've never had it although I want [38:10] to try it the best burger I don't know [38:19] Shake Shack maybe but know like it's [38:23] good but I don't know I don't have a [38:27] good answer I cook a lot I don't get out [38:29] in the city that often anymore fresh [38:32] corn or flour tortillas [38:35] if it's fresh I preferred make flour at [38:41] home but like I think fresh if I'm going [38:44] out to a taqueria and they're making it [38:47] I think I'll get fresh corn for sure [38:52] 9:40 I will do this for a little bit [38:55] longer I'm like blocking it I feel like [38:57] dizzy from answering questions [39:00] let's see guilty pleasure Oreos and [39:05] Doritos dude Oreos 100% anyone who picks [39:10] Doritos or Oreos is out of their mind [39:15] what's your favorite Greek food gyro [39:18] gear [39:19] I say gyro but I don't want anyone think [39:22] I don't know how to properly said like I [39:25] also know mozzarella is not pronounced [39:28] mozzarella but like I'm not in Italy [39:30] right now so and I don't need to move [39:33] satay Allah you know like I don't I [39:35] don't have to go there [39:36] I'm not Giada what would your last meal [39:41] be on earth probably rigatoni and [39:43] meatballs or like a whole brisket to [39:45] myself do you ever watch chef tom I [39:49] don't know who chef Thomas Andrew Jim Oh [39:53] Jimmy Chow do you have any more pop-up [39:58] event videos future four three six eight [40:01] no but like we're talking about some [40:05] ideas and potential stuff so nothing on [40:09] the books as of yet which I'm sort of [40:11] happy about some sort of crazy right now [40:13] and I don't really need to do a huge [40:16] like hundred person around right now so [40:18] that's good [40:19] you ever watched Sam the cooking guy [40:22] I'll be honest I found your videos by [40:24] clicking you're fully capitalized name [40:26] thinking it was his best mistake ever [40:29] yeah I changed it all the full [40:31] capitalized yeah I do watch them yeah [40:35] he's a good guy he makes a lot of videos [40:40] so I I respect the hustle haven't talked [40:45] to him though so I'm sure eventually [40:48] will touch base black rampage do you [40:52] have a crème brûlée recipe no thing and [40:55] thank you for the super chat but just [40:57] saw that and if anything if I saw some [40:59] stupid shots and I didn't recognize I [41:00] didn't acknowledge you thank you so much [41:02] I really appreciate it I'm sort of [41:04] focused on the questions and not really [41:06] looking at what's going on the chat so [41:10] toughest part about YouTube best part [41:12] about YouTube toughest part is the focus [41:18] it takes to edit sometimes I just like [41:21] cannot start right it's going to be a [41:25] long editing process and I'll wake up [41:27] early I wake up like 6 o'clock and be [41:29] like I'm gonna get a jump on editing [41:31] you know just like I'll get my coffee [41:33] and like my sort of newspaper in the [41:35] morning is the front page of YouTube and [41:37] and it basically it's a bad habit but I [41:40] start my day with a YouTube but I feel [41:46] like it just sort of is like there's so [41:47] much potential inspiration to get right [41:49] in the morning so I like to sort of [41:52] consume but um you know I always get it [41:55] done if it's maybe a little an hour too [41:57] late [41:58] it's an hour too late but it takes a lot [42:00] so as I've gotten along I've stopped [42:03] putting so much pressure on myself to [42:04] really like you know hit the same mark [42:07] every time in terms of like the release [42:09] date so I have like that I'm ahead of [42:11] the game it's going to be released at 6 [42:13] p.m. if I'm running late probably 8 p.m. [42:16] and if I'm really slammed it's gonna be [42:18] released at 10 p.m. and that's sort of [42:22] how I gauge when our video is going to [42:24] be released Oh God have you ever made [42:38] tacos al pastor no but I actually am [42:41] talking to this guy named grill works by [42:45] been on Instagram he builds an awesome [42:47] wood fire like Benny kit Santa [42:53] maria-style kind of I mean I don't even [42:56] want to call them grills they're just [42:57] like it's not like a form factor of the [42:59] grill that you see they're like [43:01] something seen a restaurant and I asked [43:03] him about it like it was barbecuing with [43:05] him this weekend and he's like dude I'm [43:08] making one and so I really want to get [43:10] or figure out how to make I think they [43:14] call it thrombo like the vertical spits [43:17] but with real charcoal not like propane [43:20] right so like it could be real charcoal [43:22] if you watch the tacos chronicles on [43:25] Netflix you'll see it that's what I was [43:27] thinking about it all that stuff so yeah [43:29] and tacos al pastor is my all-time [43:31] favorite if you ever go into New York [43:33] City and you want the best tacos [43:35] probably in like the country I think [43:37] thank you I don't know how you can make [43:40] them better [43:40] it's loves tacos number one at Chelsea [43:43] Market they have an Adubato al Pastora [43:46] type taco on the spit it's the best go [43:50] there run there it's like the East Coast [43:52] in and out for me I get least so what [43:58] tips would you have to give a 16 year [44:00] old Baker chef just be to be a sponge [44:05] like don't put pressure on yourself just [44:08] experience like your ability to be a [44:11] great Baker or chef will be determined [44:13] by your life experiences so have a have [44:16] a life live a life do things go places [44:19] try stuff you need people like have all [44:22] of that let that inspire you go to learn [44:27] the technicalities of whatever you're [44:29] going to do but be an inspired person [44:31] like somebody who can find inspiration [44:33] easily these things help you like I to [44:39] be honest like when I work in [44:40] advertising there was a bit there people [44:42] said they were in the advertising world [44:44] you are a business person or you are [44:46] creative and you often don't have the [44:48] you know sort of [44:50] you're not you know I've both and that [44:53] screwed me up a lot when I was working [44:54] there and I broke out of that and found [44:57] that look I'm a creative person new know [44:59] what it might fit in my life new so it's [45:03] and when you think about creativity I [45:06] think about it's just like a bigger pool [45:07] of knowledge right like I can be [45:10] creative because I've watched every food [45:12] video thing that's ever been made so [45:15] that I could take the thing that I like [45:17] about this one and the thing I like [45:18] about this one and this one and this one [45:20] and who are like these elements of a [45:22] YouTube blog and all this kind of stuff [45:24] and then I take that and spiral it into [45:27] this lens that I have in my head that [45:30] only I have and out comes this video and [45:33] it's the same with a chef or a baker or [45:36] whatever it is so that's what I would [45:38] say are you learning minimum you know I [45:45] dia is yes eventually superhero yes I [45:48] like the name - Jonathan's sigh pot are [45:53] you interested in Sumy cooking yes I'd [45:54] do it for the holidays like turkey that [45:58] we don't cook with whole turkeys in my [45:59] house like it's stupid I did a video on [46:02] it because like I know people want to [46:04] send a piece but we're over it after [46:07] years of doing it take the breasts off [46:09] you take the legs off or like sue V or [46:11] confit the legs overnight and then just [46:15] roast the roasted breasts wrap them and [46:18] don't that and that's it so I'll do more [46:21] of it on a day to day cooking I don't [46:23] really cook with it like on a nightly [46:25] basis though daddy Dutch Kent my man [46:29] can't beat me in the battle of the [46:32] kitchens he is the victor I told him [46:35] when he won I told him when he beat me I [46:37] was like if you don't win this whole [46:40] thing [46:40] I'm never even talk to you again so [46:42] shout out to Kent a daddy that's [46:44] barbecue or having real chops in the [46:48] kitchen being a badass when is the last [46:51] time you made shrimp carbonara shrimp [46:53] pasta carbonara not since I burnt the [46:57] hell out of my hand and I probably won't [47:00] make it [47:00] anytime soon [47:03] at 9:48 about 10 more minutes of this I [47:07] think I can handle at that Emma I'm a [47:12] bowline buck my cousin [47:15] what's up Emma anyway you're getting [47:18] Dave on your channel yeah ventually [47:19] we'll get there you know him though he's [47:21] a loose cannon and who knows uh an EC [47:27] will see a car with your brother two [47:29] questions after I just answered that [47:32] Jonathan sigh pot are you better at [47:35] production or cooking probably cooking [47:41] like I know what you mean I'm good at [47:44] production but I need to tell you like [47:45] I'm not good I'm not a good editor right [47:47] like I edit like a an editor from the [47:50] movie editor from the 1950s like I mean [47:52] not doing anything fancy notated [47:55] graphics nothing is swooping in or doing [47:57] anything crazy like I'm literally just [47:59] taking footage chopping it retiming it [48:02] different speeds reversing it just doing [48:05] all of the basic things that I can very [48:09] basic stuff that's like I'm it's a lot [48:11] of what I'm doing is I'm thinking about [48:13] it when I'm holding the camera and [48:14] shooting it so like the things you see [48:17] that are cool maybe have been [48:18] premeditated and our camera movements [48:21] that I'll figure it out but cooking is [48:23] my thing I got eights what I feel like [48:25] if I don't know something in production [48:28] like I'm lost I have to go ask somebody [48:29] else if I don't know something in [48:31] cooking I can sort of feel it out or you [48:33] know it's just I'm more confident than [48:35] that for sure Alex or zko Orozco when [48:41] you make a Chipotle cream sauce for [48:43] tacos it's referred to as orange sauce [48:46] in the Bay Area yeah I'll do a taco with [48:48] that in it eventually but you know I'm [48:51] not crazy about that I usually like a [48:55] salsa verde or something like that but [48:57] yeah [49:00] eh-eh asked what would you impress cook [49:02] to impress a date [49:04] generally if I was going to impress a [49:06] date I cook the thing that they think [49:08] they they like the least and then make [49:10] them like it but [49:15] something simple always do something [49:17] simple and light nothing heavy so like a [49:23] fish fish would be good or pasta I got a [49:26] very simple pasta like blow them away [49:28] with how simple something can be and how [49:30] good it can be what advice could you [49:37] offer aspiring food bloggers get started [49:39] all right I think you already I think I [49:42] already answered that yeah [49:44] favorite cookbook got it I don't know I [49:52] don't know it I'm gonna skip that Lilly [49:58] Hale are you single yes told you the [50:01] story don't ask questions like that come [50:04] on can you do them any do more videos on [50:10] knife skills like deboning chicken fling [50:13] fish yeah I admittedly am NOT like a pro [50:17] at that stuff but I do know my way [50:20] around it and yeah we'll do more of that [50:24] stuff Raphael Noli sear oven or reverse [50:31] sear it depends on the cut and how much [50:36] time I have if I have the time reverse [50:39] sear usually how important is making [50:43] mistakes Bryan sellers yeah I mean [50:46] pretty much my life is a big amalgam of [50:49] mistakes up until this point so I would [50:52] have to say yeah it's pretty important [50:56] mistakes are everything and it sucks [50:59] because mistakes are painful in the [51:01] moment and you know you it's hard to [51:06] admit them but when you look back you [51:08] have to you can't you can't help but [51:10] realize like those mistakes are sort of [51:14] what make you who you are and it's those [51:17] burns right the stings the scars you [51:20] remember that you remember that stuff so [51:23] it stays with you and it is it makes you [51:28] you are so I think it's important zesty [51:32] what is your favorite knife it's gotta [51:35] be the one I use on the show that 8-inch [51:36] Victorinox chef's knife it's $30 it is [51:40] been with me when we started the show we [51:43] got the we started the food truck we did [51:45] those knives when I started the show I [51:48] wanted to use a knife that was very [51:49] humble that anybody no one would be like [51:52] hey you know using that crazy knife I [51:54] can't do what you do now I'm using them [51:56] literally the most approachable knife [51:58] you can while still like paying [51:59] attention to like a well-made knife you [52:04] know answer this one before you go [52:07] Gabrielle I'd be era have you ever [52:10] thought about writing a cookbook yes [52:12] I've always thought about it I didn't [52:14] think it was viable up until very recent [52:17] thump until very recently it's a big [52:21] ordeal right I talked to somebody who [52:24] was like you can't he just wrote a book [52:26] and he's like they will only allow 7% of [52:29] the content you already have to be in [52:32] the book so unless I can get a deal that [52:35] could be like the story of how the show [52:37] came to be and then like in depth of the [52:39] recipes and all that kind of stuff of [52:42] what I've already done I don't know if [52:44] I'm gonna do it anytime soon because I [52:45] don't know without without a lot of help [52:48] or a the show taking a hit focusing on a [52:53] book like I just don't know if that's in [52:55] the cards right now I enjoy doing the [52:57] videos they're more important to me [52:58] right now and I'm starting to do [53:01] sponsored videos now so when you get [53:02] people to come on to the show and so [53:06] like I really want to focus on building [53:07] that out and and yeah so eventually [53:12] we'll figure something out I did have an [53:14] idea if like a coffee table picture [53:17] forward cookbook that was like a [53:20] cookbook second because I don't think [53:21] people even use cookbooks and like I [53:24] like the idea of like something that's [53:26] meant to be out all the time not like in [53:28] your shelf like something that sits on [53:31] your coffee table maybe I'll do [53:33] something like that I don't know [53:37] will you ever collaborate with babish [53:40] I'm we're in New York I've emailed him [53:44] he didn't responds so that's on him I'm [53:47] not reaching out again until I hear from [53:49] him so it's on babby as that you would [53:53] say is patreon link is patreon worth the [54:01] effort for me or for you for me I don't [54:06] I'm not like I actually might put the [54:08] speech I just gave up on patreon so my [54:10] page on people can watch but for me if [54:15] you're giving me money on patreon it's [54:17] because you want to make sure I I can [54:19] live so I can do more of the show it's [54:22] not so that you can get special like I [54:25] clearly AM doing a lot of work so it's [54:28] like I I think it's most people [54:30] understand like I'm not I can't make [54:33] exclusive content there you know I mean [54:36] I have played social media I gotta keep [54:38] I'm only one man [54:39] I'm doing everything so that is like [54:43] that is so like I can be happy he don't [54:45] need like I can invest in the show that [54:47] my businesses is prospering like I don't [54:52] suggest anybody be a patreon a patron if [54:55] your title money or struggling paying [54:58] bills like that's not what I'm asking [55:00] for for those other people who just feel [55:02] like they want to they want to help and [55:05] and so that's that I mean that I [55:08] appreciate it when whelps if if you're [55:11] asking if it's worth it for you it's [55:13] that's a question for yourself an email [55:18] idea is for home date night dinner [55:20] Mitchell Luke [55:25] yeah like maybe the tuna tartare do the [55:29] tuna tartare you just did down the show [55:32] that's a it's a nice romantic daylight [55:35] meal where are we are you planning on [55:51] making smoked brisket cream yes I'm [55:53] actually shooting it this weekend [55:56] it's another sponsored thing and I have [55:59] to really like it's two days of shooting [56:00] I wanna I'm gonna show a method of doing [56:02] it overnight and I'm gonna do it more or [56:07] less in the Aaron Franklin method just [56:09] not on an offset smoker so I'm really [56:11] excited about that [56:13] cowboy blog asks what are some good [56:15] cleaning tips for wood chopping box I [56:19] just you could use salt or lemon on the [56:22] show I just use hot water quickly like [56:25] not drenching the board and some light [56:28] soap just so the board stays nice like [56:30] I've already resigned to the idea that [56:33] I'm gonna go through cutting boards like [56:35] crazy because of how I treat it and I [56:37] don't expect you guys to like slam your [56:39] knives into your cutting boards maybe do [56:41] it once get a photo a bit a video or [56:43] something but like don't do it like I do [56:44] it's literally will ship the board apart [56:47] it's not good so yeah that's just how I [56:52] do it nothing crazy super chat Joker [56:58] productions thank you so much really [57:00] appreciate it Mac or PC Mac little [57:05] better or for worse I don't know you [57:06] know whether you pick up your camera [57:08] skills Tom W I I picked up a camera and [57:14] I've figured out the skills I used the [57:18] taste my own taste right like my [57:20] creative taste like when I go to a store [57:23] and I'm like oh I like that rug versus [57:25] the ugly rug like I just rely on [57:26] whatever that is tell me what's a good [57:29] photo and then I can look at it and be [57:31] like oh those gross photo and like as [57:33] you get better you're every

it's trendy [59:03] so we'll say Isaac fun would you make a [59:06] meal prep series for college students [59:08] yes but I don't know what kind of where [59:12] can you where do you cook way to college [59:14] students cook like in a dorm or do their [59:19] kitchens that's a question I need [59:21] answered can we get a decent chicken [59:25] breast recipe Fred yeah yeah we can do [59:30] that I never make like a just a chicken [59:33] breast usually I do something to it I [59:37] don't like a thick chicken so I'll make [59:40] a thin cuts and marinated do something [59:43] Jeff Caston my buddy Jeff what's up man [59:47] how you doing what are you gonna do a [59:49] pop-up [59:50] in the city I'm trying to do something [59:52] at three six eight I don't know if I can [59:53] even cook there but I was gonna do [59:55] grilled cheese when rent the front half [59:57] and just with panini presses bang out [60:00] grilled cheese is so easy wouldn't [60:01] really take much hopefully we can do [60:03] something like that [60:08] Andrew Tom did you ever try john [60:10] travolta pasta in Florence and no what [60:12] is that but when we heard of that Oh [60:19] Chandler Starr you talk a lot about good [60:22] olive oil which I look for in a good [60:24] olive oil other than the price tag what [60:28] makes a good olive oil versus poor olive [60:30] oil well go to the store and buy [60:33] yourself a $2.00 cheapo cheapest olive [60:36] oil you can then for the sake of [60:38] comparison [60:39] buy yourself a decent one like one that [60:42] is from Italy right imported from Italy [60:46] it's really hard to tell you have to I [60:48] don't know where you live or what your [60:50] is available for you but you have to try [60:52] them right you get them get a little [60:54] piece of bread a little salt and taste [60:56] them which one you like better you don't [60:59] want to cook you don't want to cook with [61:00] super flavorful olive oil you want to [61:02] make all of dressings and stuff like [61:05] that with them but it's good to have a [61:10] good high smoke point oil like a grape [61:14] seed oil or a canola oil vegetable oil a [61:17] good olive oil which is just like you're [61:20] making sure it's coming from a decent [61:23] place it's not like you know packaged in [61:25] you know wherever I don't know I mean [61:30] like it's really weird it's it's hard [61:32] you have to a lot of what shopping is [61:35] its marketing right it's a bottle how [61:37] nice is that bottle look I don't always [61:39] think because a bottle is nice it's good [61:42] but I a lot of instances it's a good [61:46] indication so yeah I just try try it out [61:51] figure you gotta you gotta find your own [61:53] way you know what is your ethnic [61:56] background and 75% Italian and a little [61:58] bit German [62:00] have you ever thought about opening your [62:02] own place or I'm more focused on YouTube [62:06] I've been there done
