Asking Canadians to Cook Them Dinner in THEIR Kitchen

We went around Vancouver asking strangers to cook them dinner in their kitchen that night in hopes of meeting some new people in our city!

This was inspired by a cooking show on YouTube called "Stranger Kitchens"

I´m living in a single apartment and almost everyday when I come home, I see my elderly neighbor looking through his window with a grumpy face watching me come home. This kept going on for close to 3 years. I first watched this vid yesterday and it inspired me to knock on this guys door who was always watching the world pass through his window. I got straight to the point and asked him what he was doing. He told me his name is Stefan and his wife died 5 years ago and he has no friends and is also retired. He is basically at home all day watching TV or the window. He invited me in and we had tea and a good coversation. So this old grumpy looking dude turned out to be a really funny guy who is just lonely. Like millions of other poeple being lonely and living while living door to door

The wife is like one of the most wholesome person I've ever seen.

I’m shocked they’re such a new couple. They honestly seem like they’d been married for decades. I’m glad they found each other. They are such wholesome loving people. Def lucked out by knocking on their door. Such a pleasure hearing what they had to say.

[JointSnipe]

That lady is absolutely spot on about relative happiness and how we form really polarized opinions and feelings in todays world. Wise words.

[YourAveragePersonOnTheStreets]

I like how the wife speaks like a philosopher and her husband is like “cool bro, i’ll cheers to that”

[itcho_boy_rob]

This lady is just a blessing to the human race.

The idea itself has like serial killer-y vibes, but the way they execute it really takes off the tension and makes it more wholesome 😊

I love her mentality. We need more people like her in this world.

4pm: strangers
10pm: "we're family now"

The psychology of cooking for someone and sharing food is incredible in people. Never underestimate how bonding sharing a meal with a stranger is.

[bettyslawinski]

This woman knows life...I'm a widower recently also but she summed life up..choose to be happy....others choose or have chosen to be sad....I don't...don't decide sadness....life is wonderful even if it has been bad😊💛💛💛💛💛💛

[UNDRdog]

Grandpa sure got himself a wonderful woman right there

Stanger's wife: *Giving an emotional and happy speech*
Everyone else: *Crunch, crunch*

even if you're not going door to door, you can still connect with your fellow humans. It can be as simple as smiling and greeting people in passing, or complimenting them. a single sentence can go miles to helping someone feel seen.

Well, this sure qualifies as "Better late than never"! I'm so glad I found this channel. I've always felt food/cooking is a way to connect with places & people (based on my culinary travels & experiences with family/friends). To have a unique shared eating experience over something you put your focus & creativity into. I'm a self-taught home cook & still on my culinary journey learning new techniques in Eastern North Carolina, USA (after relocating from the west coast to help support my cousin's bakery as his catering manager). 7 years later & still navigating the restaurant industry during a tougher time during the pandemic... I find videos like this so inspiring. I do free-lance dinners from time to time, often to help raise money for charity. I'd love to experiment with this concept locally where I am, as a "re-connecting supperclub concept". I hope you continue to make more videos like this & inspire others to the same. You have a big fan here!
