Kenji's YouTube presence is the best thing to come out of the Coronavirus.

Cutting to the second angle and zooming in while you were smashing the ingridients was the greatest cinematic moment of 2020

Man, as a Mexican living far away from home, I usually skip videos from foreign creators that make “Mexican food “by the fear of being disappointed. However, I had watch yours and I have to say you are a legend. I really appreciate the real knowledge and scientific approach you give to traditional food. And for sure your effort to pronounce the names the right way makes me feel proud and excited that someone like you shares this knowledge of the real Mexico to so many people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

"My daughter is watching finding Dory for the 89th time".

My wife: "I need to find my husband, he's watching Kenji's guacamole video for the 89th time"

I love how this is SO real. Like when Kenji gets a little bit on his shirt, and he just finger wipes it up and licks it off the finger. It's like the thing WE ALL DO, but never see in published content.

There's always a lesson to be learned watching kenjis videos.

"A food processor is the shipyard crane of vegetable flavour retrievers. Pestle and mortar is the godzilla."

Got it 👍

I really really love your channel man. The past year I’ve really gotten away from precooked, canned food, and preservatives. I’ve got a very healthy garden growing onions, garlic, 8 different types of tomatoes, and bell peppers. You’ve taught me so much, and at family functions all my fresh food is a hit thanks to your videos. I just want to say thank you and I really appreciate it.

I am known in my friend group for making the best guac. After watching this video it turns out I actually suck and my friends are just idiots.

Kenji I really hope you continue these videos even after coronavirus dissipates. I love the knowledge you share with us about food history/culture and your style of not really caring about things like knife skills or the "correct" way of doing things is so refreshing. Us home cooks that aren't Michelin star chef trained can relate so much more to these kind of cooking videos than the more popular/common youtube personalities. I can happily say I've learned more from the last few weeks of your videos than I have in the last 2 years and on top of that you've given me more confidence about the way I cook knowing that even a pro like you takes shortcuts or is more relaxed about certain aspects. Thank you!

Kenji, I love that you are posting these frequent videos. I remember sparingly watching your late night cooking videos because there weren't so many. They were rare, and I had to indulge them. I like the little community we have here that appreciates all your cooking videos during these hard times. Thank you.

I bought a Molcajete, spent about 1-1/2 hours today grinding rice into flour to cure it, and made this recipe about an hour ago! I bought it after hearing your Godzilla and shipping crate story thinking, maybe that’s why it is so good at a restaurant when they make it at your table. I ate about 1/3 of mine just now and guess what? It is true, it was the technique not the ingredients. The guacamole I just made is fantastic!

[thefoodgallery]

My first thought was ‘wtf is that double avocado’

[Ouray]

I am completely loving your posts, Kenji! I watch a lot of food-related vlogs and they're very enjoyable, but I rarely learn much of anything. With yours, I need to make sure I start taking notes every time I settle down to watch something. Best to you and yours, and thanks!

Out of all these videos, the thing that has been impressed upon me the most, is that I need a little box for salt.

Fun fact: If your avocados are green, you can put it in a paper bag and roll it up. The next day, it is good to go. If you need it asap, wrap halved avocados (pitted) in plastic wrap(not plastic bag) and microwave for 30secs. It does help, but everyone's microwaves are different, so keep a close eye on it the whole time. Thank you for your video. I just bought an 8" Granite Molcajete at HEB, and I love it. Best $20 I've ever spent.❤

yo the added camera angle when he brought out the salt caught me off guard nicely holyy, I friggin fell out of my chair hahahahahaha
