i feel like most people got it right this time, even those before the "good" ones - hooray!

[Ghost]

My man Steven made it to the second stage on a 50 people video.

He's growing up before our eyes.

[rononyonka]

I miss shirtless guy and the short haired lady with glasses

[garfield]

First time grandma has ever known how to do anything. It's about time.

[teenytries]

SHE GOT IT RIGHT!! The grandma was on the right side for once! Now we know what she’s served her grandkids all these years

[anasandoval]

GRANDMA KNEW WHAT TO DO!!!! I'm shedding tears right now! Finally! Something we can be proud of!

[amalzuhair]

Wait a minute... grandma isn’t with the clueless bunch for once. Good for you grandma 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[arielausweettheng]

I get nervous every time these people hold something that isn't a knife

[qazaalak]

"Cutting fingers is the same as cutting carrots"
I don't wanna see your basement sir:))))

[emilyfogerty]

2:19 "They say it takes as much force to cut through a finger as a carrot"

**looks down at carrots that I'm chopping**

[BelleBlack]

Grandma actually knows how to do something. 2020 is shaping up to be an interesting year...

That's some next level hogwarts right there my dude

[rononyonka]

Can we get chef Ramsey in a "4 levels" please

[anin]

The chef's looks tired but.... somehow hotter?... always like men who can cook

[admiralbullfrog]

Am I the only one who liked broccoli since I was young?

[jaromnascimento]

"All I need to do is to cut it, right?"

2 seconds later: 1:07 *LOL*

You know how, in the movie Inside Out, the “disgusting pizza” had broccoli on it? Here in Japan, we loveee broccoli, so they changed the Japanese version so that the pizza had green peppers on it instead. Which is also weird since I know Americans love green peppers on their pizza

Edit: actually I think I remembered incorrectly, I think it was the scene where they were feeding the baby sister broccoli, not the pizza. Idk how I mixed that up lol

[meganlawson]

Yes! I have always done it the way the chef shows (cutting the florets directly off with a small paring knife, not hacking off the whole big stem). And nobody ever even showed me how to. *Feeling accomplished*

[evecsum]

“they are Broccoli Stubbs”


I’ve never said awwww about Broccoli

[WondrousPurple]

Thank you, thank you Robert Ramsey for the suggestions of what to do with the larger broccoli stems once the florets are removed. It's one thing to say, "Don't waste food!" but another thing to show how to do that.
