Thank you Taku for having me on! Outdoor cooking was not easy so much respect for Taku & Jocelyn! Going in the wood foraging and cook on a boat was so much fun. I hope you all enjoyed the episode! Also, this was definitely out of my comfort zone and great experience. When I first heard the idea from Taku that we are going on mushroom foraging I knew I would look stupid lol(because obviously I have never done it). Chefs get complacent easily and can stay in their comfort zone unless there is a challenge so this was definitely a needed adventure. As someone commented, this is how everyone used to do the grocery. It is a 2 day project to prepare a meal for an entire family in real world!

[@TheCL296]

It is cool to see two chefs working together behind the camera. I thought it was an awesome collab and the experience makes me excited for more of them in the future! It would also be cool to see you on the channel again. I imagine that something about foraging your own food makes it taste a million times better!

[@arieldanielle23]

You have a fabulous head of hair. You're a joy to watch!

[@ouissandy2806]

If you learn to fish you will never starve

[@TaylorPride]

Just saying Taku is a amazing chief he may learn something from this guy..

[@necieau2700]

You yourself are a dish!

[@artandopt]

I liked the foraging for mushrooms and as a fisherman especially appreciated the comment that the rockfish was perfectly tender after a day of aging. Few people purposely age their fish as they should. Having another chef on the episode shows the confidence, courage and sharing aspects of Taku-san. Peace and Cheers!

[@mariejaouen1051]

Chef Daiji: I found a mushroom! :D Taku: I... I think that's a deathcap Chef Daiji: Poison? Oh... :( *throws mushroom dejectedly*

[@chefdaiji]

I was very sad 🥲 lol

[@palmsky1119]

I definitely agree, if you bring more chefs and take them out on outdoors adventures with ya would be great. Keep the content going and thanks for sharing.

[@giaibui4569]

such a humble person Chef Daiji is... would love to see more of him in future episodes

[@chefdaiji]

Thank you! It was so cool being on his show 😁

[@ClassicallyMish]

Chef Daiji is gorgeous and he can cook.

[@isaiahquinn7639]

Time for a new series of outdoor chef life, chefs in the outdoors! You bring a different chef outdoors each time and highlight their businesses! I’d love to see that

[@jasontidwell6191]

Definitely love the idea of taking guest chefs outdoors and out of their element and then doing a catch and cook. Great concept!!! Would be even better to see this during your travels to Hawaii and New Zealand!

[@brianrounding4258]

you mean before Guy Fieri and Bobby took over the airtime on FoodNetwork?

[@Tpb2010]

Thanks Taku for giving the tip on the mesh bag for harvesting mushrooms. Been a shroom hunter for 30yrs and that's the best tip you can give someone other than your hot spot and that's not happening. Great job on channel fun to watch watching

[@CaVeMaN0022]

Loved the different dynamic of watching another chef prepare the food!

[@RENO_K]

Daiji : 😀 Taku look at this Taku : 😶 You know that's a deathcap right? Daiji : ☹

[@chefdaiji]

Hahahah 😂

[@kickinitwithkaren]

This was one of my favorite videos. It was nice to see how chefs work together. There was something special about this that I can't put a finger on, but the feeling is: YOU WARMED MY HEART today. Thank You!

[@thorsylvesley]

More of daiji please lol. Catch and cook ! Catch and cook ! Catch and cook !

[@anndebaldo7381]

Loved Chef Daji! Another wonderful video. Thanks and ATB!

[@spideymcgee4718]

I need friends like y’all in my life.

[@spideymcgee4718]

Listen people, knock it off with this BS.

[@KawikaLee408]

San jose native, avid home cook and occasional catch and cooker here The travel/wilderness content i great but the local foraging/fishing along the bay area coasts and forests is what made me fall in love with your channel. I reference you constantly when talking about food/travel with friends and family bringing new chefs outdoors to show them how to forage and seeing how they treat the local ingredients is an amazing idea and can't wait to see more

[@KawikaLee408]

loved the comment about cooking outside being totally different, a lot of people don't realize it until they do it for the first time

[@Prevbdbdudufhdh]

Shrooms microdosing helped me overcome my life long addiction to cigarettes and alcohol, I just relocated and they're so hard to come by here, I really need to buy some

[@bryanjacob8399]

My last trip 5 months ago changed my life.

[@Prevbdbdudufhdh]

Thanks a lot I will get some now

[@Nick-zo5oq]

Dope video, I loved every minute of it

[@joeynelson1609]

Taku, Jocylen, great episode. You need to do more mushroom hunt and meals with Daiji. Great stuff.

[@MattSmith-mx2yg]

This is the best outdoor chef channel on the Internet good job guys it looks amazing

[@LikeLikeLikeLikeLike]

This was an awesome episode Taku seriously. That guy is extremely talented. At first when you were foraging I was like “who is this guy?” But then, he sushi’s the F out of that dinner. Love it. Great job

[@Vuk_Stajic]

So sick. How awesome you guys have the identical family origins haha

[@darrenheller2570]

Love this video concept! Great job!

[@AesculusPavia]

Absolutely loved the recipes and skills Chef Daiji showed and it would be great to see him and other guests in the future!

[@sameeasairally7492]

Take a chef for foraging and see the amazing dish and display you get.. Its like eating in a 5-star restaurant

[@enjoycamping7507]

I appreciate that these highly skilled chiefs are in a real world setting , I enjoyed watching them cook outside, talking about how different it is from cooking inside. I love the being real, down to earth approach in showcasing there skills. Out forging for there ingredients ! Love it! More of these kinds video is a valuable and appreciated to the viewer ❤Thank You for sharing!

[@yosephterp3563]

You are such an inspiration Taku! I just made the big dive into buying a mobile kitchen here in my hometown. It would make me so happy to meet yall. Very humble and honest

[@davesplace1307]

Great content taku! Need to see more of this guy what a great chef. More content needed!!!!

[@shawnlu9349]

@2:57 In Australia we have something similar called slippery jack. You peel the top slimmy skin off and you can either pickle them or dry them out.

[@blaze2407]

This was really nice, he’s so chill and seriously I would love to try those dishes. Please feature more chefs like him.

[@sharonkaywhitson]

[@Puffypufferfish]

I love the rain ,and I love mushrooms even more ! I just love how they grow and how some of them are deadly then some are delicious! Watching you collect mushroom has further ignited my love for them to the point that that watch for mushrooms every time it's rain or misty here in central Cali ☺️🍄💚 Keep doing what you do best taku!

[@Reillin]

I super love the mushroom foraging videos I’ve been into this for years and often people look at me weird for walking around the woods with my mushroom stash in my mesh bag 😂 but idc I love it and think it’s awesome how many edible and medicinal mushrooms grow in my region!

[@themillennialangler]

That dude is a whole package. Chill as hell. Wouldn’t mind booking for an experience. Food looked amazing

[@chefdaiji]

So is Taku!! He is super chill as well and excellent at what he does.

[@kylecolby3581]

Awesome! Never been foraging for mushrooms, but it looks like a great time….. beers would probably help!! Great dishes, very jealous!

[@hoosky1143]

[@daviddoan6485]

Taku! I've been following both of you and so glad to see you both finally collided! My life is complete! LOL Dope to see other asian males from the bay doing big things! GO DUBS!!!!!

Causally standing and talking in a bunch of poison oak. Freaked me out. Love the channel. Great stuff.

[@brigieschliesman9163]

Chef Daiji is a smoke show woooo!

[@brewzyj101]

Spoken by a true smokeshow

[@Mewt0]

Jocelyn lookin at him like: 👁️🫦👁️

[@martinaguilera5494]

@@Mewt0 I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@NoProGoPronto]

Totally agree! Damn! 😊

[@stevetea7540]

Hi guys! Believe it or not the old mesh bag tech isn’t always the best! The mushrooms have either dropped spores, or have not and no amount of shaking will really help. however the best of both viewpoints is using a wicker basket. It doesn’t tear delicate mushrooms up and if there happen to be any spores that feel like falling they are still able

[@AggressivelyLoving]

I love how cool looking making sushi is.

[@Justice1911A1]

Brilliant episode, this is the sort of thing you need to do in NZ, there is lots of forging potentials if you go out and learn from the right people 💜

[@Ehrlichia1]

WE WANT MORE CHEF'S THIS WAS GREAT TAKU THANKS.

[@patron40silver]

Great video. Everything looks delicious. I want Jocelyn's job.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

The land and the sea are like your supermarket. It's nice to see what you create with the things you forage for and catch. What you come up with is like a work of art. More collaborations with other chefs would be awesome. It would also be cool if you went with your fans on KZbin and did a foraging expedition for wild mushrooms, wild berries, and other wild plants, and made a meal with those things. My dad and his brothers were very good at foraging for wild mushrooms on his farm in Alberta, Canada. I had another uncle who was also good at foraging for wild mushrooms. Wild mushrooms definitely are great when they are cooked up. Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn! 👍👍✌️#TakuTuesday

[@tzatzekeymarz4452]

The last 3 minutes was extra wholesome

[@darinchamberlain7304]

Great collab!

[@bmore5261]

I love your content Taku! Originally subscribed because of genuine interest in cooking and outdoor life, but when I found out you were based in the Bay Area, I got even more intrigued. I love to support local context creators as well as see some familiar settings. Keep staying amazing Jocelyn and Taku! P.S. I love barebottle. One of my favorite breweries in the bay.

[@garrickclau]

I want to have this meal so badly...

[@mikearsenault9244]
