From a contestant in masterchef to one of the most popular youtube chefs in the world. Nick truly deserves all his hard work.

[@AkiraWisnu]

Thank you uncle Nick! I was in a hard time thinking about how my future be, and feeling super low in life. Listening to this video made me realized that life is always full of mystery, but persistent in following our passion could lead to fruitful future. Regardless, I will try to do my best not overthinking what the result would lead to. I guess persistent is one of the most important skill to have in this world.

Hi Nick! Thank you so much for being so kind to my son and I this morning by allowing us to say hi at the bakery! You made my son’s year! He loves watching your videos and can’t stop talking about meeting you. You are amazing 🤩

Masterchef was definitely the catalyst for this journey. That was when I first saw you. I only knew about the KZbin channel once when i was randomly scrolling through Shorts. What a journey 👏🏻. Proud of how far you've come nick.

[@Joilbro]

Prob one of the most inspiring motivational videos I have seen. I have always wanted to be a KZbin influencer but slowly started to give up. Thank you for always reminding me to follow my dreams and I am really touched by your story. I am motivated by this, thank you so much nick!

Nick VS Gordon is one of the most intense battles in KZbin history and im all here for it.

Your journey is probably the best I've ever heard, or ever seen throughout my life. And it gives me the motivation to do anything that i wanted to do, even if it's difficult, but i still kept going. Thank you for being you, Nick. Your true dedication to making KZbin cooking videos for us really makes me smile, and also helping others. - Love from the Philippines ❤🥲

Hi Nick, Started watching you just before Covid. Really enjoyed watching your past videos with Manny. I can't count how many times he was fired. I'm too old to be a KZbinr, I'll leave that to the kids, but secretly would love to try making a video. So happy you are a KZbinr, you make me laugh. Lynja is up there smiling down on you.

Just follow your passion because you have no idea where it might lead you. I really enjoyed this. Thank you Nick. There’s really nothing like overnight success, the reality is a lot of people have put in the hardwork behind the scenes. Congrats on your success journey. 15M+ subs in 4 years is phenomenal

You’re doing great job. Crazy how big your channel is. I think I joined when you were under a million. You haven’t changed. Cheers

[@eglo8986]

Hey nick, just wanted to thank you on how much you’ve impacted me and my life. I never really viewed food as more than a way to get full before discovering your videos. But when I first saw your videos, I fell in love with cooking and food. I started my own KZbin cooking channel and all because of you I get to make videos doing what I love. Although I only have a couple hundred subscribers, it doesn’t matter as long as I’m doing what I love. So thank you for inspiring me. (Congrats on 15 million subs 😊)

[@infomercialist]

I loved your story, and I support you and feel that your family, upbringing and childhood has been a really strong foundation, and your family seems very supportive and respects and believed in your dreams. For success, its really important to have a good family, culture, and support and a lot of us don't have that. I totally feel you're very hard working and determined, but also very fortunate to have a strong family and food culture. The quality you put into your videos, is remarkable, and I believe you are a top youtuber! You basically are creating Monopoly with your content! Keep it up and stay determined, because this is only the beginning! And yes, your mom definitely loves you a lot! ❤

My mom kinda got me into cooking, but you got me really into cooking. I'm pretty invested in it at this point. I might suffer from multiple mental illnesses but I've learned not to give up doing the things i love. I came to the realization that i don't give up because i was thinking about the ammount of times i played a game with my friend, he'd always beat me but i never stopped trying to do better next time. Cooking is something I'll never stop doing until i die. Thanks❤

[@mateosalacam6718]

I also love cooking since I was little, because I always watched my mom cook, my dad and my older sisters, now I have taught my children a little. My youngest son likes anime and one day he started watching the series Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma, I loved it and I watched all the full seasons, then last year I saw your videos, I stayed to watch it and since then I have not missed any, I was interested in knowing about your beginnings and until that moment I realized that you had participated in Masterchef which I also watched the entire season where you participated, it made me see you as Soma Yukihira in person hahaha. Your video is very motivating in the field of cooking and a reason to promote the personal brand. Thank you Nick! for being an honest, respectful and inspiring person. Greetings from Nicaragua

Nick, my Great Grandpa lived till about a hundred but died a month before his birthday. He served on a destroyer in the pacific theater in WW2, he went undefeated in checkers for almost thirty years till our final visits to him in which I barely beat him in checkers after trying for over ten years. My Great Grandma is blind but used to make pie for us. (She’s still alive.) Both my Grandfathers are still alive but are there health is getting worse. I can definitely relate wanting to try to something or do something with your Relatives again. You should do that cookbook video from your Grandma’s recipe.

My sister and I made menus when we were kids too, except they weren’t really menus but more just food we liked or names of food. We would sit underneath the dining room table with a pen and extra large sticky notes after dinner while the adults were still talking. It’s been at least 10-15 years and some of those notes are still hanging from the bottom of the table.
