Every time Randy says "broccoli rabe," all I can see in my head is Stephen Colbert in an ill-fitted Cornell cardigan singing Faith by George Michael while Ed Helms looks on in horror.

I’ve just discovered your wonderful self, and your videos which provide the epitome of hospitality, with a lovely quirkiness, authenticity, refined taste, art, humor, love, skill, history and beauty. Thank you for giving this to us. It is truly appreciated. 💐

[@NovaScotiaLiving]

Such fancy recipes but you make it seem so simple. Thank you so much. Peace love and happiness ~ Tracey

We've had a tough last 2 1/2 weeks at our house (losing my Father-in-law in the midst of a holiday season). YOU calm me, you make me laugh and this long awaited video post was full of info and wonderful tips for timid 'entertainers'. I've had a few disasters in my day and I always just keep on going and recover because I don't let burnt biscuits ruin an evening (just slice the bottom burnt layer off and they taste fabulous). That's one story of many and with each and every one I just kept going. It's about your guests, having fun and nurturing, not about perfection :). So so happy Leonard is ok.

[@dinnerpartytonight]

Just want to say how sorry I am about your father in law. Hold your family close and look towards a new day. Thanks so much for watching! Leonard sends his love

[@ireneposti6813]

You are such a gift, so glad I found you on KZbin. You make me chuckle, in short you make my day. Thank you 😊

[@janpresley-davis5803]

So enjoyed revisiting this episode and your dear Leonard ❤️

[@allthingshome6953]

You are my kind of spirit. You are fun!

[@reglavcor]

Randy, I live for your videos!

[@Gio_Vanni6143]

Miam miam. 😘😘♥️ And a belly rub for Leonardo. 🐾

[@andiemehaffie927]

Very few things make me as happy as watching Randy Sharp cook and talk.

[@dinnerpartytonight]

You are TOO KIND Andie!! thanks for watching! More to come!!!

[@mc05266]

Such great advice!! I am hooked on your videos! Thank you for your most excellent practical teaching techniques!

[@laurabora1109]

You always talk about your friends who request for you to make certain foods... I want to be your friends! I made some of your dishes and they didn’t all go perfectly but I tried! And learned! And you are so refreshing ✨

[@judy4283]

Delish.... blessings!

[@protocolofficer2629]

Whenever two or three are gathered together, there’s usually a fifth! Had the choir over pre-Yule and used a cup measure (such fun) to make a huge pitcher of gin martinis. I called it “the Recipe” after those two old dears in the Waltons. Folks just luf the recipe. Thanks for a stunning hour of of cooking with Randy. I absorbed it all and hope to do a duck breast real soon! My Shepard’s pie - with lamb- has duchess spuds ’ on the top. I enjoy seeing it come out of the oven in swirly browned goodness. Ciao and festive felicitations. Colin.

[@dinnerpartytonight]

Thanks Colin!! Always love to hear from you! More not he way

[@ElsieAbrianna]

Your humor is so awkward I absolutely love it 😂 I love how you measure things to taste!! A true cook! And it helps recipes be more versatile and accommodating if someone prefers a lighter flavor for their pallet. Been following you for over a year, such a fan

[@dinnerpartytonight]

Elsie!! You are SO SWEET and TOO KIND! your compliments really mean the world!! Thank you so much for being such a dedicated long time DPT fan and please stay tuned for more videos to come!!

[@ElsieAbrianna]

Aww LOVE YOU!! I am passionate about hospitality, so all of your vids will be on my tv in my kitchen in my big house (in the future haha 😉) that is a life goal! Wish nothing but the best for your future here on KZbin!! Blessings ✨

[@luluchanelify]

Ok, vermouth is divine!!! Who knew?! (Oh yeah...she did!) I had some in the cupboard from recent martinis and I just tried it solo. Love it. And btw, Ben and Jerry’s pistachio ice cream and vermouth is a match made in heaven! Love this show...my new fave.

[@Monica.Corrie]

What a Christmas gift...an almost hour episode of Dinner Party Tonight! It was a slice of heaven. Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

[@lwhite8545]

Hands down the best KZbin show ! My daughters and I love it!!!!! Glad Leonard is better😊

[@dinnerpartytonight]

LISA!! Thank you for saying so! More on the way in 2019!

[@scruffy281]

Thanks for giving me the courage to cook and to make mistakes. You are so thoughtful and such a gift to all who watch your show. Merry Christmas from Texas!!❤️

[@jenc8953]

In my culture we use a mortar and pestle practically on a daily basis for both wet and dry ingredients and really brings out the flavor in the ingredients. It’s usually front and center in the kitchen because it’s used so much. The people that I know that use it, can cook their tails off.

[@Vilamon]

Thank you. I love your show! Absolutely lovely 😊

[@jjshimek101]

Love! I have been waiting for a new DPT video. I love all aspects of your videos. I love to cook and try new things. It is different to learn a recipe for one thing but to have step by step for a dinner party. The humor, education cooking tips, the stories, the quick bits of information that are lost until you cook them, then panic are all there. Besides, who does not adore Leonard. Grateful to hear that he recovered from the Thanksgiving day swollen faced dog debacle. I love that you go from beginning of shopping, (Tip your fish monger or butcher) to cooking the dishes, a sweet treat at the end and the ever loving cocktail. Thank you and your production crew. It takes a village.

[@dinnerpartytonight]

thank YOU for taking the time to write us!! Keep on cooking!

[@saraho7480]

I love you, Randy... you are hysterical and give me tons of great ideas but I just want to mention I use a mortar and pestle 2-3 times a week in south and southeast Asian cooking. I’m no chef but I am a home cook. If I misheard this segment in your show I apologize, I was multitasking. Happy holidays and wish you a healthy and productive 2021.

[@kimtbarnes]

Your videos are just amazing! Thank you for doing it. You inspire me to host more.

I'm commenting so late on your videos because I recently discovered your channel. I love the content and the sincere enthusiasm for entertaining. It really is a pleasure to spend time with a multi-talented individual who exudes culture and humor - now that is a trick! Hope you, Leonard and the crew are good and safe in these uncertain times.

Bonsoir Randy and to all the crew. First let me wish you Merry Christmas (hope you had a wonderful one) and a very Happy New Year 2019 !! Frankly it is the 25th in the evening and I am just relaxing after a nice party on Christmas Eve and cleaning today and reading and relaxing. Then, I found your video - wow that is a gift. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful dinner you know that I do try a lot of your recipe, therefore, I will recreate this dinner for sure. I am so so SO glad that Leonard is doing fine, he is so lovely and cute. I know the stress that you had as I had to go to the Emergency with my cat 1 month ago 7h00pm until 02h00am wondering if he will make it ; he is fine but he had to take med for 3 weeks X 2times a day (kind of respiratory problem - a flat face cat often have problem. Anyway, I'm glad for you, sending you my love and appreciation to you, the entire crew and of course Leonard. From Québec city, Canada - Rosalind - (( hugs and kisses )) oxoxox

[@dinnerpartytonight]

Merci!! SO GLAD your cat is okay (even though I am SURE it was a major drag) and thanks for watching!!

I want to know what is kind, name of the pots that you have on your stove top, they have those gorgeous top and decoration handles with the little things (décor) on the top … I am totally crazy about those pots and handles. Please tell me what brand they are and where I can order them. Many thanks for your reply. - Rosalind -

Merry Christmas from the West. When you are in San Diego, we would love to have you and a guest to dinner. My best to Leonard - did he get vaccinated recenty or bee sting? My little senior girl doxie had a bad allergic reaction to vaccinations a number of years ago and also had swollen cheek from eating a bee ... will never do vaccinations again with our current dog when he gets older. I digress, thanks for the fab recipes and entertaining and educational video. Cheers to the New Year!

Kitchen Disasters: keep the delivery pizza place menu handy. My story: NEVER place Pyrex after roasting anything on a stove-top burner EVEN if it is OFF (recently). My beautiful Rib roast. Pyrex shatters in millions of tempered shards of glass. (this was years ago -- believe it or not, I put it in the sunlight so I could see and pick out the sparkling glass, shaved off the top layer, and yes, we ate it.) Wasn't gonna waste that piece of beef on waiter's wages and having dropped $60 for it.
