Ha ha ha I love your explanation and comments about frozen fish in Canada plus the energy and authenticity you put during the whole video. Thanks for sharing your passion and knowledge!

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Thanks for watching!

[@BlitzOfTheReich]

yep. In Europe and the US fish isn't automatically frozen. It does however need to be frozen for sushi, even though I think it isn't in Japan.

[@froilancrisostomo9113]

I use 6-8 different kinds of frozen fish in my kitchen here in New York everyday.👍🏻

[@aryarathne2479]

I just hope ur channel blows big one day cause u deserve it.

[@sandykubiak9193]

Sous chefs can sometimes become stars. I worked in restaurants that I, a food server, work with the likes of Michael Mina, Thomas Keller, Charlie Trotter, Bradley Ogden, Todd Humphries and Wolfgang. Hard working guys who were very very lucky to make it big. You have a great attitude. Never once saw frozen fish in my restaurant

[@zippyman818]

The YT algorithm smacked your video hard. It was recommended to me after watching some Hell's Kitchen stuff! I'm glad I found your channel!

[@carlodanger5609]

The lighting is doing great things to you, Ryan. You look so good!

[@zacharykirby1361]

Love the videos - can't wait to see where you cook next in your journey!!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

The Sous-Chef video is what led me to your channel and it’s the most beautiful channels I’ve come across. Stay cool 👏🏽

[@69surf1]

Loved the video…keep doing cooking-centric content!

[@b4804514]

Ryan What a talented guy. When I was listening I heard some Joe type inflections in your voice. That was nice

[@markjones95648]

I've learned some stuff from you and I truly appreciate it! Do you ever think you might want to open your own restaurant one day and what cuisine would you choose? Happy Halloween!

[@irvin966]

Loveeee you Ryan!!!!! :D

[@pepep.823]

Thanks Ryan!

[@wehojm7320]

I love your vlogs. Honestly I would love to relocate to Vancouver if it weren't so cold and rainy half the year. Living in LA has ruined me for anywhere else weather-wise except for San Diego or Palm Springs which have even better weather.

[@leonmichael3322]

Keep these awesome videos coming

[@robertallen3628]

Always enjoy your chatty style.....and the insights, like freezing fish everywhere in Canada......I am wondering about the fresh caught walleye I ate on the French River (Ontario) during my Boy Scout days! No paracites in Ontario, right? At least in the 1960s!

[@jessemorrison86]

Oh man, so interesting - thanks for explaining. You're inspiring me to cook!!

[@JohanB66]

Hi Ryan, thank for letting us to be apart of your and your boyfriends daily life, follow his channel as well. Really like your episode of " Day in the life of a ..." Please show us more tips and tricks of cocking. I enjoy cocking at home :) Thanks from Sweden

[@buddydeguzman4906]

Hope you upload often and more day in a life vlogs. Youre also so cute so thats a plus lols your bf is so lucky

[@shadownor]

Happy Halloween Ryan! You are a cool person.

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Thanks! You too!

[@lemonadewithsnacks3733]

Well answered and well explained.

[@spsvideos6175]

I totally agree bro , I’m a chef In Vancouver, I agree with everything your saying

[@Henrytwm01]

Most of Seafood in the hotel I used to work in are frozen.. in food safety rule seafoods and meats are safe to keep in -18°c for maximum 6 months

[@Achristian888]

U are absolutely amazing

[@stevebanyai9570]

I have increasingly been really interested in your channel and Joe's channels. I thing you both bring a very much needed reflection on the issues that are important, racism, gender stereo types, relationships. To be completely honest, i really like your food vlogs, the pork ragu was amazing. In my opinion, no person has a right to judge, hate or be derogatory to others especially people we don't really even know.

[@vickygettar3940]

Handsome dude, great sound quality!

[@williamm8240]

Interesting and thanks for sharing.

[@Ottokae20]

I like your mindset

[@eddycastro9599]

Im starting to learn some cooking, now i cook for my family everyday haha, thanks for the inspiration.. hugs from Ecuador 🙌🏼

[@RyanDeanDexton]

You can do it!

[@Vancity829]

If you don't mind me asking, what restaurant do you work at or what area of the GVRD do you work in? I'm also a Vancouverite and used to work in the hospitality industry as well, I wouldn't mind checking out nikkei cuisine. How do you find the industry now? The sector seems to be coming back from the restrictions and with things opening up, this season should bring revenues back to a pre lockdown level. Thanks for the videos they're always relaxing to watch, cheers.

[@remarc69]

I've been to Canada twice, fantastic country 👌🏻

[@kemicbi]

HA! get use to it in canada, all proteins are going to be frozen or on ice doesn't mean it's poor quality, unless it's a super special limited supplier who has a special one on one relationship with the restaurant, west coast might be luicker but japan is +7000 km away so even trying to import "fresh" is pushing it but you can still get great quality.

[@kemicbi]

bread too, all bread is frozen, no one is putting in hours of daily labor to pump out hundreds of bread items daily, there might be dedicated dish on menu where that specific bread item might be made to order sometime a day or two in advance.

[@Ducky_logan]

Thanks for sharing. I work in a kitchen now. :)

[@KhaalidPeters24]

Hey Ryan. What is your favorite product or ingredient you love to work with?

[@mwaters5134]

Ryan, will you do a video on best practices for food safety in the kitchen? It seem like I wash my hands 5 to 10 times whenever I'm working with beef or chicken out of fear of contaminating anything --and my hands end up dry and chapped. When I watch professional chefs work with meat, it doesn't seem that they're washing their hands anywhere near as much as I am. Anyway, I'ld love to see a video on best practices for safety in the kitchen and safe food handling. Thanks.

[@simsitzer4578]

I only eat raw meat, it's much safer than cooked meat. I wouldn't worry about it too much :)

[@jamesh7959]

❤️

[@billycarroll9153]

I only WISH I could live in Canada….especially Vancouver, my favorite city in the world. The nicest people you will ever meet.

[@almasoz]

Joe must be so proud right now!

[@jackiebrooks1138]

Joe has not congratulated Ryan on his 446,275 views on this channel. HOT SOUS OF VANCOUVER YOU ROCK RYAN :)

[@itsjustme684]

Yeah, we are here for informative content, second. His eyes, first

[@anastasiiagavrilova4713]

Hi Ryan, first - thanks for your videos, I found them very useful; could you please make a video about industry "rules." You already mentioned the unpaid stage in one of your videos. So I was prepared when one restaurant in Gastown asked me to come for the stage. But I was surprised that in two places chef told me that they would pay X rate + tips, and then when I started to work, it was less. I felt so upset. Is it a common thing?

[@Julien-ne4pv]

Mind boggling ? Yes you are!

[@Julien-ne4pv]

This job can get intense, often hectic and stressful only if this is your passion you will stick with it. Besides, you can get quite creative, so make the best of it young dude!

[@apersonnamedemily5443]

When he said he’d fire us in a second, I got scared.

[@pandu5461]

Are you gonna do ever cooking live on your channel? That should be fun!

[@uttamk.shrestha3775]

I don't like forgon!

[@marcos-ll2yr]

happy halloween, hugs from Brazil

[@vmvm949]

Dude do more of videos like that A lot of patisserie girls does that and get tons of views Koreans coffee shops does that too

[@miguellehman6951]

Thank you Ryan..a most interesting vlog on your job...keep up the great work .any good recipes for prawns please xx l o l take care.

[@rafalccc598]

Greetings from Poland

[@leeauslander8305]

Such a cutie!

[@aarontheabc]

❤👏

[@Julien-ne4pv]

Canada is a great place I totally agree! Politics is a different story...

[@wewenang5167]

in Japan the original sushi..YOU DON'T USED FRESH FISH. They usually let it sit for at least 2-3 days. They say it's what make the flavor. Unless its sashimi.

[@simsitzer4578]

Are you saying Japan freezes it or no?

[@HotSauceStain]

For sure the negative comments are unhappy, jealous people. For people to go out of their way to write those, it’s obvious they’re not in a good place, because happy people don’t try to bring others down via KZbin comments.

[@matiasescalante7752]

Peruvian food is the Best! Belive me. I'm from Lima, Perú.😉

[@yugi9259]

I know u have a boyfriend but OMG UR SO PRETTYYYYYY 😭

[@markte2884]

do you have favorite Pilipino Food?

[@anavalenciia]

Imagine NOT living in Canada must suck for them 😌

[@darbat]

Whoever feels bad that he lives in Canada..... is an idiot. That comment triggered me. lol I lowkey wish sometimes that my parents had moved to Canada instead of the US. It's crazy and expensive here...

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Vancouver just got rated the most expensive city in North America :o

[@dickwagenaar3684]

@@RyanDeanDexton You get what you pay for; the more the better. (Not always of course :-), but generally true. Beautiful city.

[@watermelonsloth6947]

I really want to move to Canada (I live in Oregon) in the near future. Maybe not Vancouver (I'm a teacher so prob can't afford it) but there are so many gorgeous places and wonderful people I have no doubt whatever my final decision I'll be happy there.

[@uttamk.shrestha3775]

With Shannopn shannon fix tuck she n look like n cooki it os pakistan chain for microshop .

[@wewenang5167]

I think that person who said "imagine living in canada" is from US....typical American lol

[@mikenelson1624]

👍✨✌️💫😎

[@jaycabrera1712]

Holy f... i watch you and joe separately and didnt realize ur in his videos bc i thought you just looks like the guy lol.

[@Pedigru]

Hang on. Someone talked about not eating frozen fish? BRO, Generally I hate to be "that guy" but sometimes I really dig it. And today is that kind of day. BECAUSE...there is NO SUCH THING AS FRESH FISH. Unless you catch it yourself. Fishing Boats don't go out, catch a bunch of fish, then return to shore the same day (LMAO can you imagine!?). Most, if not all, fish are flash frozen ON THE BOAT. This includes that fresh fish being sold at your local fish market. Hell, most fish are flash frozen on the boat...and shipped to the headquarters of whatever corporation who owns the boat (Chinese corporations own about 85% of the united states fishing market) which means the flash frozen fish is actually shipped to china...BEFORE it is organized and shipped to the united states...to be labeled as Fresh in your local supermarket.

[@Pedigru]

Imagine not knowing there's no such thing as fresh fish...in 2021.

[@simsitzer4578]

Sad if true. That would mean they're explicitly lying to me telling me it's never been frozen. But I've even caught them lying to me before telling me a certain salmon is wild (Ora King) when really it's just higher quality farmed

[@vsauce4350]

Everything was going well until you said "Imagine not knowing there's such thing as fresh fish... In 2021". By that comment alone, it can be deduced that you, in fact, like being "that guy". "That guy" : someone who thinks they know it all but in reality, they have basic knowledge of various topics so that they can maintain being "that guy" who demeans other people by being a snarky prick. We know you had a hard on when you wrote a whole paragraph correcting a random stranger about fish.

only one question: What is your tattoo on the inner side of your left arm? XD I got the "κρύπτω" Greek word (which is why i noticed it XD) but i couldn't figure out the word closer to your palm... other than that, great video ;)
