As an Indian, it is an honour to have this wonderful man still giving back and I’m sure his legacy will be well cherished forever. R.i.p sir. You are still loved

Floyd was actually a family friend. I really looked up to him as I was growing up. I really needed this today

[JonSudano]

I remember the episode where Floyd taught me singlehandedly how to make traditional Naan. Still my favorite recipe without a tandoor.

"It doesn't need to be 20 different spices, it doesn't need to be 30 different spices. It's about how you treat them." I know this is video is specifically about curry but that is a genuine lesson for when it comes to flavoring any dish. A wonderful tidbit of kitchen wisdom. May your soul find peace sir, and condolences to all you touched.

We lost a legend, but the flavor and the knowledge lives on. Rest in peace, Floyd my friend.

As an Indian I’m honoured that he chose these dishes as the 100th episode and in memory of his wonderful friend. No matter where people are from food brings us all together, I’m happy to be a part of this diverse community!

You could hear the emotion in Andrew's voice talking about someone who was passionate about the same things, cared about people, and his craft. RIP Floyd Cardoz.

[EstrogenBlast]

I feel sad for the loss of a man who seems so gentle and passionate in his work.

[stellarguymk]

Man, he had the most calming based presence of just about anyone I've ever seen! What a guy he was!

Amongst YouTubes chaos, there are still heartwarming moments like these.

[louisaytuarte]

I am 4 minutes in and I'm heavy hearted that this lovely man is gone. May he rest in paradise and his family find peace.

[aidenaune]

so "curry" isnt an individual dish, or even a group of dishes, its a general term, like soup, or sandwich.

Love from Mumbai babish. Floyd helped set up The Bombay Canteen here . One meal there and you understand what a legend this guy was in terms of understanding flavour. RIP.

[rissanslaghek]

I love how you can hear Babish's voice change when he's working with someone he really admires and respects.

[abiromu]

As an Indian, you have no idea how much I appreciated this episode. Chef Cardoz was a legend.

[jedisix]

You're a class act, Andrew. What a loving tribute to your friend and his family.

Babish: “Can we specify what ingredients and amounts?”
Floyd: “Absolutely not”
Lol

[gibbsforever]

Man, what a privilege. This was informative and incredibly gratifying. I've always been intimidated by Indian cuisine but he makes it feel accessible without neutering the complexity and depth of the dishes. His family is very gracious for sharing this piece of him with us.

Notice how behaved Andrew is around Floyd, since Floyd himself is so soft-spoken and mild mannered.
