Food Critic Kalen Allen Talks Moving to L.A. and His Hammock 'Sasha'

Food critic Kalen Allen moved to Los Angeles after signing a deal with Ellen, but revealed he's just missing two things to make him feel at home... his hammock "Sasha" and a TV to watch TGIT on Thursday nights.

Darling be careful on the internet. Tell mummy that you have a youtube channel.

[@cosmicdankhead9171]

Nah do what you want, don't let these orderly chaps tell you what to do. Just don't be giving out personal info

[@girlblissy]

if you was observant enough you'd see the indecent comments on her channel by a grown man. Be observant and be real, truly!

[@cosmicdankhead9171]

Grown man or small child, doesn't matter. No one needs to be snooping around someone else's business to find the truth unless it's for a good reason. Be yourself, be observant and mind your own, truly!

[@elris452]

[@kittyquiqui]

Jaqen H'ghar she was, I noticed that too 😲

[@ashlynteague9977]

No!!! She was referring to him wanting to be called an artist because he doesn’t want to be known as just a food critic or just a comedian.

She was agreeing with him.
