"Palace to Dallas" would be a great title if you were to ever write an autobiography.

[@dottiee1596]

Oh that’s awesome @kukes

[@boulevard14]

Genius

Definitely genius!

or a cookbook with recipes from the Palace and from Dallas. like how he made eggs at the palace and how he makes them for his business in Dallas, showing 2 different ways and the difference in taste from Britain and the US

Only on social media would some people feel the need to correct the techniques of an esteemed Chef who cooked for the Royal Family 14 years . Unbelievable! Darren, I LOVE Winston & the opening sequence -- don't listen to the nay-sayers. I'm an Anglophile, love the Royal Family, adored Princess Diana & love your channel!! Keep up the great work! ~~God Bless

Quick tip for those tomatoes. Plant some Basil with them and see the difference. You will yield 2x the tomatoes if not more.

[@MaryWehmeier]

Darren, You're a gem. I truly enjoy watching you cook and instruct in the kitchen. My parents owned a major 4-star, so as a child I wandered into the kitchen more than I care to say-- and I got put to work washing and peeling at a young age. It's enjoyable to learn new dishes from someone like you. You do make food fun! And THAT is the idea! Don't you dare lose Winston!

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

I think Winston and Darren need a back-story: there was a real-live Winston and he rescued Darren when Darren fell down the well, and when Darren was in the burning building, and when Darren was lost at sea ... everything Lassie did and more.

[@Darren_McGrady]

That made me laugh out loud :)

[@kateg7298]

Hey, Chef McGrady. Texas girl here. You say, "well I moved from the palace to Dallas". (Good choice) But you haven't said why. I know that there's a story in there. Love? Had you been to Texas before and felt at home here? Or, was it simply making a huge change after the tragic death of Diana? I know that sometimes things like that make us re-evaluate our lives. If this is too personal, I apologize. Thanks in advance!

[@aarons3014]

He said in another video that he was suddenly unemployed when Diana died in the car accident. She had wanted to travel more, and that was part of what motivated him to try something completely new.

[@jacquelineye8532]

To piggyback the previous comment, he remembered Princess Diana saying how she wanted to move to the US in a previous video. So he took that to heart. Why Dallas in the US, I don’t know

For those wanting to begin to learn how to cook, I highly recommend starting with eggs. Boiled, fried, scrambled, etc. After that, start adding ingredients in it. It's how I started to really learn to cook.

I agree, eggs got me learning how to cook!

[@lynnhauenstein4136]

Well as oldest girl, I can't remember when I didn't know how to cook eggs. But then as I got older, I wanted to imitate restaurant dishes, and was bugging waiter what's in this, what spices. And 2 yr high school chemistry helped. Cooking is alot of chemistry. Cooking vocabulary hardest for me. Get a Cooking book, and be brave.

Chef McGrady, after watching your chicken thighs for William and Harry, that's how I do my chicken thighs when I decide to bake them. They're perfect. Two questions: First, what is the most outre dish you ever cooked for the Royal Family, and second, what traditional American dish have you fallen in love with since you've moved to Dallas?
