This man changed the way I cook, and the respect I have for fire and wine.

[@thedr00]

I could listen to this man talk for hours. Thanks for sharing!

[@alyriatutoring5697]

I feel what Francis is speaking of here is the meditative immersion of cooking. Anyone who has had deep experiences in meditation or prayer will say nearly the same thing, “It’s an experience you can’t explain”. It’s such a present moment experience that cannot be translated into any other language-it’s such a multi-sensory experience of touch, sound, smell and sight. Cooking is undoubtedly his zen. He speaks of cooking as the Dalai Lama would speak of walking the peaceful temple grounds in the crisp morning air.

Hurts to see the misunderstanding of art. Art is exactly what hes looking for - a catalyst for a human experience. Can it be intellectual? Yes, but the purpose of great art is to communicate, express, and bring people together. Craft is a synonym

[@andrewbrillant331]

Just beautiful ❤

[@ABikerDude]

Totally dig this! So well said about food and wine inspiring us at the table! Thank you Francis

[@mariomagagna6845]

I’m agree with you and very well said it 👏👏👍

[@Steamedavalone]

When I grow up I wanna be Mallmann.

[@davidjspruill5915]

This is a man who has spent a lot of time with himself he knows who he is yet still searching himself out very Inspiring human. may never reach his level of fame but do intend to live with the same abandon seeking ones heart isolated only God and His creation surrounds

[@SoapinTrucker]

Extremely profound artist, chef, cook. Oh, and when he gropes for the words to describe man, and fire (7:17), I believe the word is primal, yes? This man knows how to get high, on life! 😎👍

[@RoxanaLusa]

Genioo francis.

[@matt13r1]

I’m here because of American Dad. I can’t believe Francis Mallmann is real

[@johnsmithyington]

I’m only here because of the Andrew Russo parody

[@Bee-nc8id]

I thought he wasn't real cause of American dad as a spoof, that's hilarious

[@ibizabartenders]

Only one question and they choose the wrong guy for it!

[@MrLaizard]

[@Denjorgensen]

So clever and vise. He should be fishing in with me.

[@piro5916]

We were homo erectus several thousand years ago. That explains the Egyptian Pharaohs' odd skulls.

[@AD-eg9cw]

They actually wrapped their heads when they were young and the skull was still soft to get those shapes.

He is a god

[@nimcom.5396]

No. Just a very good cook and a clever man.

[@JohnSmith-dc8co]

High claim

[@Eriugena8]

Or, is it vegetable husbandry, ritual hunting, and merely a need for protection from large predators, and the residual need to use our hands, which is proportional to language because both are technogies, that together pushed the evolution of the homo sapien sapien? Indeed if there ever were such a time. There is only a gradation, no aha moment in evolution. Fire did likely accelerate activity at night, storytelling, problem solving, and the quick calories which came faster than salt preservation and fermentation, so yes there is that, but fire was kind of before written and agricultural civilization, but we were fully human I believe in a social and physical sense before that.

[@jojobogomas4376]

Is this guy an Argentinian? He sounds too English to me.

[@JohnSmith-dc8co]

If you’re talking about the guy who introduced him, he’s from Belfast, Ireland, the man who continues to talk with the blue hat is from Argentinian.
