I Threw Myself a BBQ (And It Was Wild) | NYT Cooking

[@silentj624]

I wish you had your own channel. People don't talk enough about those who are cooking for one. I don't mind leftovers but I have learned how to cook certain things so that they are "freshly cooked" each time. Currently eating chicken cordon bleu for the 4th night in a row and I prepare the roll (season, stuff, roll in plastic wrap, and refrigerate), but don't bread and cook it until I'm ready to eat it. The béchamel just tastes better each time it's reheated over the stove.

[@samanthabrown1068]

This has actually already been a concept for 12 years by a chef who branded single serving.

Once it occurred to me bc I had a can of cranberry sauce that I could have thanksgiving ANYTIME and I think specialness is important! So thank you! ❤

[@GamingFoodie]

GIVE THIS TALL DRINK OF TALENT MORE SCREEN TIME! Need more of this personality, recipes, and ball of fun!

[@Paolito0118]

Vaughn is so adorable and funny. Can we please have more videos of him cooking?

[@randelishus]

A scruffy, witty man flexing his culinary muscles in white socks is a man after my heart. 💛🌈

[@missdrey954]

This is one of the things I look forward to the most when I move out of my childhood home. Making meals for me that I want to eat, how I want to eat. Is this cooking for one a series? It should be. You're very entertaining, Vaughn!

[@joshstickney3661]

The Parent Trap quote at the end YES

[@alejandromare2061]

Omg, he’s very handsome, he can cook, what’s not to love?

[@theouthousepoet]

Right!?? Be still, my heart!

[@samanthabrown1068]

Idk maybe just him being willfully ignorant to stealing a brand that has been built for over 12 years by a woman of color. #singleserving

[@geneyoon6128]

@@samanthabrown1068 I don’t think the concept of cooking for one rises to the level of “stealing a brand.” That’s like saying Diners Drive-ins and Dives (Guy Fieri) stole from Roadfood (Jane and Michael Stern) because they both celebrate informal local eateries. It’s too vast a subject to be the domain of any one person or brand, and anyone calling dibs on it would be a megalomaniac. Same goes here.

[@blinkandrhcp]

@@samanthabrown1068 sorry, who are you talking about? I searched "single serving", but it didn't pull up a series or anything similar.

[@samanthabrown1068]

@@geneyoon6128 and are those shows called the same exact thing? It is stealing a brand when you name your series the same exact thing..

[@macaoron]

“Let’s just say that, we stan.” We stan you, Vaughn! I would so be your friend and have fun cooking in the kitchen!

[@SavidgeKitchen]

I seriously love every single thing about this. And always cook for one like I’m cooking for 10. Help. Me. 😂

[@complicateditis]

The concept of cooking for one - epitomised in the white sports socks at 03:45 lol. Great show Vaughn! Can't wait to see more

[@alexlamm4485]

But who is out in the world giving this glorious human a thumbs down?

[@HydroDiffusionAMV]

Did this a lot during 2020 and still do now because I discovered I love my own company lol There's nothing like making yourself a nice meal. Peace and quiet with a good TV show 💜

[@Cameliachowdhury]

Yess loved it!! Please make it into a series!!!!

[@viche1]

I smiled from beginning to the end of this. And totally agree about the best bit of margaritas.

[@silverlve70]

I cook for me alone and let me tell you, I love going bonkers and getting the best steaks, scallops and other things - enjoying the meal to the fullest (even when I mess it up).

[@1bwash]

what a nice plate! also, keeping a set of those deli containers on hand when you're cooking for 1 is really great for seeing what you have and keeping prepped elements of future meals/dishes.

[@Dani1One]

Labor Day by myself is the perfect time to try out these recipes!

[@korinneyannone1769]

Love this! I cook for just myself 5 nights out of the week. I would love to see more videos like this!

I am soooooooooooo here for cooking for one series! 💜

Is it possible to ship a KZbinr and a commenter with a cute picture? I think I just did 😍

[@kmcc92]

Yes!!! More Vaughn with cooking for one advice please!!!

[@cjc9535]

I must confess that I immediately clicked to watch this solely because the title of the video made me laugh from the minute I saw it in my subscription box. It's HILARIOUS!!! I LOVED this video! "I'm really alone! Even Siri won't come over!!" made me laugh out loud! Vaughn needs to make this into a series. Cooking for one is rarely covered by food channels.

[@honeyv540]

Why didn't youtube recommend these videos sooner? I love it! Please put out more content.

[@gabrielchouinard7228]

More of cooking for one ! More of Vaughn too !! Please :)

[@GabrielaElkins]

I love this so much! Reminds me of old BA videos

[@tyneishalewis9917]

I love these cooking for one videos!

[@bulbkit]

I got so damn fat cooking for myself early on. Scaling it back is hard af when you're a good cook... Then you learn how to prepare proportionately. Sometimes.

[@Ultimatecozzie]

I'm so glad to see another person cut a watermelon in cubes like that! I have been doing it that way for years and nobody I know understands haha.

[@hypernature]

Vaughn makes me feel better about bleaching my hair and cooking by myself. Only difference its has always been that way .. Any guy who day drinks is a guy I like! Cheers and thanks for the recipes

[@annbrookens945]

I learned to cook in my family of 8, so I've had a hard time learning to scale back! As a single person, I'm more likely to eat yogurt or cereal so this is...A LOT! I mean, I'll make pancakes occasionally or cook a vegetable dish but I'm not sure I'll EVER do anything like a cookout for one! That said, it's a pleasure to watch YOU do it!

[@beautylicioys]

anyone else surprised by his charisma? FINALLY, THIS GUY IS INFRONT OF THE CAMERA INSTEAD OF BEHIND

[@emilyraney9515]

This is great; I increased the amount and made these dishes for my family this 4th, and it was delicious! I would love to see this chef do a similar episode for Thanksgiving

[@jaderoberts4549]

The margarita bars are amazing! So good. Definitely a keeper.

Sharecook 20-Piece Matte Gold Silverware Set is the set of gold utensils that Allison Roman has in her videos/cookbooks. I’d bet he saw her use them and liked the idea.

[@emmatobin3432]

For lemons and limes use a fork to help get the juice out.

[@silentj624]

If you have a cash n carry nearby they sell restaurant takeout containers for super cheap and most are open to the public. They aren't made to last forever as they soak up the dishwasher powder smell (at least to me) so handwashing with an unscented soap might be best. I got a pack of 20 of those pint containers he has for less than $5. I also use them to store my dogs homemade food as a single serve container.

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

We have C&C at several locations around here in the Seattle area. They are awesome! Love their large bags of pot stickers... steamed, fried in canola/butter mix, tossed w light peanut oil and topped w sesame seeds. Don't forget the dipping sauce, right? Yum!!
