I'm only 70 seconds in and I can't imagine a better New Year's eve than spending it with you, Jon.

I love this Guy! And I LOVE the way he speaks. It always sounds like he's selling good celebrations and great times and I'm here for it!🎉

[Welp]

Lmao “watch some balls drop” happy holidays dude. I appreciate your vids, thanks for showing me how to cook better.

[MrFreddywil]

Adding a comment to boost your reach. One of my fave creators. I hope 2025 is everything you want and more!

[ProfCheddah]

Oh thank the cooking gods for you, Jon! Literally thought about roast beef (which I love, but cannot have, bad tummy) and saw this pop up a second later 😂 Blessings from the UK for the New Year!

[m.e.]

This is one of my fave things to treat myself to. Ty for making it manageable for me to do! 😋

The biggest advantage of a wifi-capable heat thermometer is getting to sleep in my own bed with the temperature alert on as it cooks overnight instead of having to lay out a bedroll by the kitchen door & listening out for the wired probe alarm.

Okay I'm definitely remembering to try egg whites next time thank you :>

[TeresaPaz-Soldan]

Another amazing class for a recipe that is as you say daunting to do! I will definitely try your recipe! Thank you and best wishes for your New Year ❤

There's NOTHING better than prime rib roast, mashed taters, deep fried Brussels, Yorkshire pudding and a THICCCC gravy ❤

Always do a prime rib and hand whipped potatoes dinner for Christmas after doing turkey for Thanksgiving

[aldolajak]

OK, the wood grain refrigerator doors are the coolest (pun intended) thing I have ever seen on a cooking video. Good call on cutting the fresh oregano with dried oregano. Drug dealers can be pretty innovative. I'm fascinated by your knife. How many folds are incorporated in it's production?

[FunctionallyLiteratePerson]

Oh hey, I just made a rib roast for Christmas!

[DragonwithaGirlTattoo]

was hoping to hear your review of 5 spice in the crust

[johnbjerke]

Great video and this was already exactly my NYE plans :) Also, just a heads up that your chapter markers are a bit off

[alabama.worley]

Now half of the video sounds like one long innuendo. I cannot shut it off. I'm silently smirking at my screen. Such a beautiful hunk of meat, Jon. Happy Holidays!

[fulingyoo]

How many ribs for that standing rib roast and for how many people? I’m about to roast a 4 rib (10+lbs) for 6 with a few slices leftovers.

[SpencerWhite-cn]

Jon, where do you shop for high-quality meat in SE MI? I’ve struggled to find a good butcher. did you get it at ronnie’s, by chance?

[brittneynicole]

I should've bought some when it was $4.99/lb last week 😩

[focusedfrances]

This is the meat that I dread being served. Tepid under seasoned. Ick. HOWEVER I am not a cook and I have never tried to make it myself. The times I have been served have oddly both been in German restaurants. Maybe it’s Germany’s fault I don’t know. We shall see.
