  • I'm new to CHOW and this was the first video I watched. I hope the other videos are a bit more informative.

  • He likes how the tuna "interacts with the tuna?" This is exactly the type of focus that turns me off to the patronizing foodie perspective. Lah di dah, lah, di dah.

  • O.K. Now, you can show me How to Plate Like a Chef please.

  • C'mon you guys. He gave the most useful advice I'm ever heard: Look at pictures in a cookbook and just copy it!
