We really just have one goal – to make your food life better. Ok that, and be entertained at the same time. And have you learn a few things along the way. So let’s make it 3 goals then.
If you only want the steps to make something, like those vids shot from above with no people, no conversation no nuthin – then we are absolutely not for you. But if you wanna a little fun while you learn, then this is the place.
Cooking doesn’t have to be hard, it just has to be delicious.

THANK YOU ❗️

Hot restaurant tip- make a little groove in the rice so the protein doesn't roll off when you add it.
Love your recipes.
I actually have everything on hand and didn’t need to get something! Awesome!

Recipe page doesn’t exist
X files song had me 🤡 😅
Looks delish!
STCG, How are you not adding a pinch of baking soda to that bowl of chicken marinade? Oh man it makes it so tender soft… It transformed the way I prepare foods!
Just like what I cooked A great lemon chicken
Holly shit your son is HOT. Put him on more.
what is that black surface your cutting on,,,,,,,,is it stone ? or is it formica ??? it looks like something that would dull your knives, ??????
Oh it happened Sam, the in the butt Bob
Sam. You really got me in trouble with my wife. I squeezed an egg and it shot all over her dress😂
I'm a guitarist, i'm totally trying that egg thing tomorrow.
Obviously this video is 9+ months old, but if no one caught the reference 'that would be the butt, Bob'…it's true. That actually did happen during an episode of the The Newlywed Game just the way STCG said the incident unfolded. At the risk of dating myself, I saw the episode myself. It was back before the times of photoshoping and/or video editing as well. Funny as F***, and made me laugh my arse off when STCG mentioned it deadpan and off-the-cuff. Love the channel – yet another reason why.
Its true. Gotta be the butt Bob!!
Won’t let me see the recipe!
Now hold up a sheet throw the egg against the sheet.
Not an Urban Legend, fren: https://youtu.be/4XM5hbS7GlU?
the newlywed game thing is totally true…
Omg that looks good!
Bob Eubanks says that what the lady said (and they bleeped it out) was actually worse
Made the mock McDonald's chicken Mcnuggets then bought some JUST to compare. Never buying McDonald's again. I have a stash in the fridge now. Thank you!😅
This is now my wife's favourite if you know what I mean! Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink. However after making it each day fir a week and twice on the Sunday, she's getting a little tired of it. So howabout a nice Cornish pasty ( which you can't call it as it wouldn't be made in Cornwall) or a Welsh rarebit? I look forward to Sam doing the accents!
Why is this recipe taken down? It says page not found.
Chicken looks fabulous. ❤❤
The clip from the Newlywed Game in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiARvvemLlk
Opps my mistake it was the woman who said it.
The husband said, "that be in the butt, Bob" Not sure if that is true or not but is sure is funny.
The Bob Eubanks reference, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqrf5uGkm8k
Not an urban legend, kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiARvvemLlk
Just think birds sit on their eggs
Looks beautiful. Thank you chef! I wonder if calories wise it is reasonable. 😂
Would love to try this, but can't find the recipe on your site.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqrf5uGkm8k&ab_channel=FoundationINTERVIEWS right from Bob's mouth
Hey Sam, What kind of oil were you deep frying with?
I've seen the video, it's not an urban legend.
And her answer was "In the ass?"
