I Hosted a Van life cooking show in the Middle of the Desert

[@Flangobeast]

Winterisblu, whose videos makes people’s sadness go away and happiness starts to bloom, I like your videos, I hope you know it’s true! Mateo and Lars WHAT IT DO!?

[@DuhItzStorme]

Right ❤

[@Selahbrooke3]

I agree Flango.

[@ChevieBabynMamaBritt]

I loveee this comment couldn’t agree more Mateos smile n heart are infectious in the best way possible Lars too what a sweet boy ❤

[@laurencn]

Love a nice little poem ❤

[@TeaPeaLane]

Ok, the cookoff judges' commentary is everything! 😂😂 You did an awesome job hosting! This definitely needs to become an annual thing.

[@fatimasg1]

😂😂😂😂😂 When you said “Anthony please return your keys and head back to your van”, I literally laughed out loud! This was a good episode. The competition was way more professional than I was expecting.

[@KorsaKev]

i was dyingggg 😭😭😭

[@pgirl0310]

Definitely professional style. It was great!

[@patricialegare6847]

I enjoyed so much . Excellent creative video. You should get your own nomad competition show/vlog.

[@thefleming7950]

Me too 😂😂😂

[@JerseynativeGal]

It was the best☆☆☆☆☆Unlike any food competition I've ever seen❤

[@dee_pendable1]

Fun, fun, fun! I love how you're good with solitude, but still feel a connection with people. Beautiful memories you're making. Thanks 4 taking us along!!😊😊

[@shawntagolliday5885]

Mateo with his honesty made the rest of the judges speak up and become honest with the contestants. Love this hope you guys do this again next year.

[@Sunrise-k56]

I think this is one of my favorite episodes watching you socialize. You all did an excellent job as judges. ❤

[@RenWonders]

This had me on the edge of my seat like the Great British Baking Show LOL, next year we need tragic back stories and footage of them with their families

[@Rdearia9697]

😂😂😂😂😂 Right

[@carolynrains-es7kx]

Exactly!!👍

[@laurencn]

OMG I'M DEAD with the tragic back stories 😂 That would be everything

[@joycefrazier2709]

What js his background

[@RALight-ym6if]

I love this video for so many reasons! The transitions with the bake-off music; the interviews with the chefs and judges; and how you brought the viewers along like we were standing there with the competitors during the judging. I literally burst out laughing when you put on your Gordon Ramsay’s accent 😂! Your personality, videography and ability to connect with people on screen and off is exceptionally brilliant!

[@karencoffee8960]

Next competition, You, Life with Anthony, and Ryan Toomey! That would be a hoot! We're talking 3 totally different personalities and flavors! Great video!

[@winterisblu]

That would be awesome!

[@Cindy-mp8xo]

Yes, go FOA!

[@shewonderfulton7647]

Great ideal Ms. Karen. I would love to see that.

[@karencoffee8960]

@shewonderfulton7647 yes! It would be so much fun, especially with Anthony's personality! ❤️

[@TiasCrazyCraftAddiction]

I watch all of them, too Yes... that would be a crazy episode...

As soon as my youngest (he is 11) is 18 I'm hitting the road in my van. I have 7 years to renovate it into a livable space. I cannot wait. 😊💭

[@SistahRev]

O. M. G!!!! Mateo, CLEARLY you have watched WAY too many of these kinds of competitions!!😂😂😂 Your interviews and commentary and the way you comported yourself were SO stereotypically on point, it was HILARIOUS!!! And Kristine’s deadpan sense of humor gave me a couple of real belly chuckles! This was a fantastic episode; great thanks to you, the other judges and the contestants for sharing the fun with us!!😂😂😂❤️

[@TaraTiaraBell]

Hey WinterIsBlu, I’m loving these videos you’re having such a good time and giving everyone else a good time. I’m getting hungry watching this

It's low carb using the pork rinds. Low carb is a very good thing not only for type 2 diabetes,it's also good for decreasing anxiety. Keto was developed for seizure patients. It's really helpful.

[@hopefullychosen1]

Hi! Mateo, you and Lars make Van life look fun, adventurous, and inspiring. This is one of my top 5 Winterisblu videos so far. Enjoyed every second. Congrats to all the contestants. The judges did a great job. I'd love to see more nomad contests and definitely Mateo as the host & judge. Great job, Mateo. 👍😄🤗

[@earthawilliams5598]

They do, right! 😊

[@starrlight27]

Loved this video and your editing was great! You’re just getting better😁 Also so happy to see that you spent time with Aussie Van Man/Brock and his friends. They seem like really good people. Looking forward to seeing your next video! Praying for you and Lars to continue to have safe travels.😊

[@AussieVanMan]

He certainly made a good host for the comp

[@guswatts]

I’ve followed Brock for years. I was so glad to see them collaborating!

[@starrlight27]

@AussieVanMan congratulations on your win!🏆 @Winterisblu you and the other judges did GREAT with how well y’all kept it suspenseful and at least for me. I honestly did not know who y’all were going to pick lol. Once again, I just want to say well done with this video. I absolutely loved it. Congratulations you’re doing awesome and thank you for making this video so much fun to watch😁

[@michellem7271]

This was a great video. The competition was fair. All the dishes looked good and tasty. Congratulations to the winner from Australia 🇦🇺. Would love to see more videos like this. Great job judges 😊

[@patriciagroth2015]

This is hilarious! I am a trained chef and had two restaurants over the course of 30 years! I think a few ego's got crushed though! Great effort by everyone and I will see you next year! What most people lack in knowledge is the SALT factor! It is the key to everything!

[@deanabanks8443]

It’s always fun seeing you in your element, Mateo, especially while having fun with such amazing friends. This cook-off competition was a great idea and I hope to see more of it in the future. Hats off to the good-humored contestants who were mercilessly poked fun at 👀😆😉 In a previous video in Quartzsite, AZ, you suggested making salads for your viewers and I also think it’s another fantastic idea...
