he was the first person i ever saw cook food on tv, when i was four years old in 1986. now, at age 41, ive been a restaurant cook myself. and watched tens of thousands of hours of food related programming. I couldnt love the guy more. what a legend.

[@Zoeyjimenez.]

Chef YAN is a legend! May he live a long life like long life noodles

[@NewfieAsianKid]

I was only a toddler to even know who Martin Yan is and recently discovered him and been watching his old cooking episodes. My mom told me my Grandparents used to always watch him on TV.

[@Ultradude604]

The O.G. of TV chefs. One of them.

[@romeo_alpha0176]

I remember watching him on KQED when I was younger. You can make a drinking game out of every time he say's "and then..". Loved it when he flew out to China to show off the local eats too.

[@kelnoone1087]

So good to see you after forty years, still the bright passionate, positive, person...brightest wishes

[@untermino]

Half chef, half amazing

[@ratedr8490]

Grew up watching him on pbs. Seems like such an awesome man

[@zhuangcorp]

Seems like an awesome wholesome fellow who just loves his food and culture

[@raisa_cherry33]

Simply the best chef 😍💜 my mum and late sis religiously followed his recipes.

[@JThom-yh3ef]

I learned about him when he appeared on Gordon Ramsays Hells Kitchen show. As I looked him up, I was like “wow, this dude is a real G”. I wish I would’ve known about him in the past. He’s definitely a titan.

[@patram4880]

You the best I love watching his show when I was young I wish you go back on TV. This way I can make some Chinese food I have a little Chinese wok skills in my home. I have a 19,000 BTU burger gas which I think works very well

Legend Martin Yan

[@Tarpunyaf]

[@gameshowguy2000]

If Yan can cook, so can YOU!

[@angelacooper4043]

[@kalami2748]

Legendary Chinese chef 👨‍🍳

[@alfianfahmi5430]

It's been 40 years and his passion is still just as strong as he was back then 👀👀👀

[@mae2759]

He's still going! PBS legend.

[@iangoddi]

I am watching his shows again on Roku TV!

[@themalacast]

It's so diverse in San Francisco. A guy you might meet on the street is a hobo junkie. Ten feet later, a boarded up business. Ten feet after that, a pharmacy with every single thing behind lock and key.

[@freddycugarjr]

" I haven't gained a pound in 43 years" mind blown!

[@onetricklux677]

This Yan can Cook!!

[@rayray8389]

Yan Can Cook!

[@jchomedog2887]

I have a feeling that news guy doesn’t actually know how to cook 😂. Give me the knife!

[@raisa_cherry33]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 seems so.

[@adityafirdaus3881]

Exactly, thats an expensive knife

[@algernon5776]

Unfortunately M.Y. Asia in Las Vegas is CLOSED. I believe it was way too expensive and the wrong marketing. His food is so excellent but not accessible for the common man.

[@xavierpaololedesmamandreza]

Martin seems to be avoiding the media presenter's questions......I wonder why. In any case I hope his show has really evolved to fit with 21st-Century standards. Like Stephen Yan of Wok With Yan, I now found that this original presentation style is very heavily Asian or Chinese stereotyped during the 70's and 80's. Unacceptable nowadays.

[@joechen353]

When ask 1978 no one wants Chinese food that sound like such hatred

[@chinatownboy7482]

Martin Yan has had some cosmetic surgery.

[@papagen00]

Is Martin Yan broke? Why coming back at his age? He's had his day in the 80's and 90's.

[@mae2759]

He just seems like he has a genuine love for what he does. He'll stop when he dies.

[@Ultradude604]

I don't know the guy. Just listening to what he says. "When you're passionate at what you do, you don't have to work a day in your life!"

[@develentsai3215]

In Chinese food if you want to go healthy, that means it's going to be tasteless and un-appetizing!

[@3starskiwi]

He's deffo had a facelift & Botox.😅

[@pao420]

the camera operator sucks
