    Fun fact : this chicken willfully gave its life when it found out that Frank was doing the cooking.

    Chef Frank is the only chef I know that gives a 101 class that actually learn something (27 year chef...)

    “Chef Frank, we need a fried chicken video” “Perfect! Let me start raising my chickens in my hand built coops fed only with grain I planted and grew with sunlight that I harnessed and keep in jars” LOVE YOU CHEF FRANK! Never change!

    Frank's 101 videos are always fun and informative... Keep 'em comin'.
  • @linwu1014
    I remember watching Chef Frank's early video on Epicurious and remember him being rather stern and monotonous. Thesedays he's much more talkative and warm. One thing never change is how informative and methodical he is, yet, his cooking is very approachable.

  • @janfwagner
    I'm a huge fan of Chef Proto and can watch him forever. Love that tip with the mustard powder! I shall try it. I use spicy paprika instead of hot sauce for my marinade.
