"You are the Cuba Gooding of what is basically just vanilla pudding". I love you Chef John, never change

[MrAndrewmcgibbon]

if I don't have a vanilla bean can I use the old string bean that fell behind the stove?

Chef John I've been meaning to thank you. First of all, I really appreciate all your work and effort you put in to making all of these videos. I would secondly like to thank you in particular for helping me contribute to my family's thanksgiving feast this year. I was in a certain lack of funds as far as complicated dish ingredients and what not. so this year I made for the first time in my life, bread. your pita bread to be exact I made about 30 loaves and one batch of loaves (6) that I added a noticeable amount of ghost pepper powder and habanero flakes an extra portion of salt and to tell them apart from the regular loaves since I used whole wheat flour I added black food coloring to make them very obviously different. I have to say they were a hit with all of my family members. my grandfather who is 76 years old has been having chemotherapy and it has ruined much of his taste buds he celebrated those hideous purple buns and said they were the most flavorful thing he ate all day. Thank you for teaching me something I can use for the rest of my life.

I remember when I used to watch cooking shows as a child I loved seeing the chefs scrap the seeds from the vanilla bean lol. I have no idea why but it was just so satisfying!

Laughed so hard at the "clear eyes and a full heart" part. Also, I want a "Hollandaise can sense fear" T-shirt

Am I the only one that tries to creep on john's reflection in the mixing bowl

I am SO happy you made this. I made a cake a few months ago that was white cake with whipped cream frosting and fresh strawberries. I wanted to put SOME kind of cream in the middle with the strawberries, but couldn't find a recipe for anything I liked. I eventually settled for a white chocolate ganache/mousse type filling, but it just missed the mark for me. THIS however, will be perfect. Can't wait to try it!

So... yesterday I quit my job as a Metrologist to become a pastry chef - apprentice. I can't believe it... but I was having my doubts, and then this video was posted. My scientific mind says it is just a coincidence, but the other me is saying 'umm.... pastry cream". You are a big reason why I am not longer a Metrologist. Thank you! :D

You know I've been a loyal follower for years and you have never mailed me a batch of cookies or anything.

Chef john I've been meaning to ask you. How do you keep your cookware looking so immaculate? and tips especially for stainless sheet pans and skillets?
