Will, thank you for sharing your story and history. I've watched all your videos and love how you cook and connect with people. I think I found Aaron's channel through yours! Bet you didn't expect that! I spent part of my teenage youth living in Key West as a military kid and took full advantage of the experience from fishing, spearing, sailing, diving and everything in between. Grouper and snapper are my favorite fish followed by goosters bathed in butter on the grill...doesn't get better than that! I love what you cook and the way that you cook it. I wanted to tell you that I appreciate you and your channel. Thank you Will.

I was talking with my 10 year old son one night about why I watch certain KZbin channels and why I don’t care for others. I explained that I enjoy both Aaron’s channel and yours, because of the people that you are. You’re both real dudes that don’t try to be fake or something you’re not. Although the videos are just a snippet of life, you always act the same regardless of who you’re with and treat everyone with respect. I told him to do as I’ve done and surround himself with people like the two of you and life will be so much better!
@CookingWithClams Жыл бұрын
That really does make me happy. Like I said, in the video, one of the things that drew me to Aarron as a friend was the way that he regarded Fishing and the way he treated me as a human that he didn’t know when you start weeding out some of the bad people you definitely end up with less friends, but better ones.

I love the feedback and honesty. Hopefully this enlightens all of us fans as to the difference between cooking for passion and cooking for a job. I also work in the food industry but on a slightly different scale. While I’m not at your level, I love to cook for family, friends and small events. I’m often asked why I don’t open a restaurant and it’s for the exact reasons you outline- I cook for the enjoyment and satisfaction of serving simple and delicious food to my friends and family; I think the stress of “performing” in a commercial environment would take all of the enjoyment out of it and food prepared without passion is just mundane. As always, thanks for sharing

Many years ago, I’ve got about 25 years on you, I guided for waterfowl and inshore fish on the Texas coast. Your description of how the restaurant trade corrupted (too strong?) your experience sounded exactly like why I went back to school for degrees in marine biology. That turned out to have similar complications unfortunately. My story has a happily ever after phase too though. Lots of similarities. Regardless, you are doing a heck of a job with this entrepreneurial adventure. You keep producing and I’ll keep watching.

Thanks for sharing your story. I remember 20-25 years ago lots of Poles lived in Greenpoint, not sure if it's the same way - haven't been there for at least 18 years. That said, I'm vising NY in March and I will take my wife to your restaurant to try some of the food. Keep up the great content - really enjoying your channel.

Tell me when please! Greenpoint is getting less and less Polish every year. Most of the cool small butcher and bakery shops are gone

Will, thank you SO much for being vulnerable and opening up about your story. I’ve never asked the questions, but I’ve often wondered what it would be like to share a meal with you (and Aaron and Madeline) and talk about life. I’m kinda fan girling now. 😂 Question: Do you and your family celebrate the feast of the seven fishes, and if so, have you incorporated any of the key west bounty into your dishes?

We used to at my aunts house but haven’t kept up with the tradition as of late. I’m thinking this is a perfect time to bring it back!
