Martin's Brother Drops By! | Yan Can Cook | KQED

[@frankstoeknife3685]

I remember this episode 😊 I love this guys personality. You can tell quite a lot of chinese cooking is influenced by having to make enough for everyone with only small amounts of food. We know why, but I appreciate having grown up sort of poor sometimes, I learned a lot of valuable things

[@kqed]

This is a lovely insight. ❤️

[@stephentse481]

I watched The Yan Can Cook show as a little boy

[@dbrzy8989]

Ya. Our choice of meat might not be top quality but we got a billion mouths to feed. I dont think they got time to be artisan in growing crop and raising animals. Just efficiency is enough.

[@Dontmakemereregister]

This is awesome, between Yan Can Cook and Jacques Pepin episodes, I'm back to staying over at grandmas in the mid 80's and that definitely shaped the way I cook now.

[@frankstoeknife3685]

Definitely me too, except mostly more Yan lol

[@frankstoeknife3685]

And Now For Something Completely Different plus I love your username!! It was mine back in the old yahoo messenger days!😄 oh I liked the Cajun cook too, his accent was adorable lol

[@ophthodoc]

I bet you’re a great cook if you’ve modeled your cooking after those teo

[@christopherclayton7688]

Everyday in the summer when I didnt have to worry about school, this was one of my go-to cooking shows, loved how he added humor to make the show more entertaining

[@louislewis6823]

Why can't we have this kind of not only educational but entertaining cooking shows every day? All we got now is the same generic boring stuff. I really enjoy Yan ! I used to love watching him as a kid. God bless him.

[@kqed]

Thank you for watching!

[@ricardoramos1059]

We must bring back this kind of TV you learn and have a but of fun along the way. Not only you offer something different but also it's a bit of a throwback to old school tv since nowadays nostalgia banks are being squeezed for ratings rather than actual quality

[@AJScraps]

The way he smiles when he chops is mesmerizing to watch🤣

[@hardfugoo1]

4:34 the asian uncle not actually polite clapping but truly judging his work 😂

[@donnymcjonny6531]

He's like "Dang, that sounds good"

[@sarppyjr]

I remember my two favourite tv shows where yan can cook, and repeats of wok with yan

[@jerryleroy9187]

One of my favorites was the "URBAN PEASANT." He could cook anything for nothing. I still cook one of his recipes to this day. it's a dish with sausage, potatoes, and mushrooms with termeric.

[@sarppyjr]

@@jerryleroy9187 i remember the urban peasant, james barber did a book singing when i was a kid. i think my step mon still has a picture of it somewhere. its funny cooking shows will never be as they were when i was a kid. it made me want to go into culinary.

[@virg0_lem0nade]

thank you so much for the uploads of these vintage episodes!! i love it. and aww, it is cute to see him and his brother together.

[@kqed]

Blast from the past with the Yan bros! Enjoy more vintage episodes every Monday :)

[@ryansmith9711]

When I was a kid this was my favorite show. Glad this popped up on my feed.

[@lenovovo]

This is so fun to watch, and those are two handsome guys

[@stndrds79]

No they aren’t

[@aolmonkey]

Me and my brother used to watch Martin when we was a kid in the 80’s , he was the 1st Asian celebrity chef on TV back in the day. Thank you for being a great teacher and role model for me !

[@GeminieCricket]

Wonderful show, I remember actually sitting down to watch to learn new techniques.

[@rightyourwrong]

i love how they clap when he takes the rice out of the oven

[@danbrown7857]

LOVE Yan!!!😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@reverendnate2735]

Watching Yan cook brings me back to countless hours in the kitchen with my parents and/or grandparents. I don't think Yan would ever hit with me with a wooden spoon though. 😂

[@lmfd7373]

Martin Yan Can Cook still comes on he hasnt changed bit he looks great same personality.. just finished watching it

[@glennchua.hianbeng2440]

[@XplosiveAction]

PLEASE post more martin yan episodes ive watched so much of him for the last year or so on youtube and getting to see new episodes has been so great

[@kqed]

Your wish is our command. We'll be uploading new episodes every Monday this year.

[@XplosiveAction]

@@kqed That would be great honestly :)

[@physicskid]

Today's learning is while butterflying the meat, cut at an angle towards the cutting board. And cooking is apparent in the Yan family

[@worldofaccounting8259]

Martin Yan a Bay Area celebrity. I used to watch this show Saturday mornings with my grandmother. She would always have the cooking shows on TV.

[@jerryleroy9187]

Such a nice surprise that his younger brother can kind of keep up to him with the knife skills.

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

After many years of following YAN CAN COOK, he became a family name. YAN frequently bedazzles me, but that's why he's so great. I am really enjoying this show. These are terrific recipes, not difficult, that I look forward to preparing again and again. Yes, back in the 90s PBS filled Sundays with all things food. Sunday was the only day I didn't work and PBS had the only watchable programming, (NYC area). Every Sunday afternoon, my stomach was reduced to a Pavlov dog. There was no comfort between stomach and mind. The torture of starving through every Chef, and topping the night off with CHARLES DICKENS. God is great and everything comes full circle. With KQEDs collaboration with KZbin my stomach forgives me one recipe at a time. And I have issues quite similar to Crohns disease. These recipes are straight out good healthy eating. There's nothing that weighs too heavily on the digestive tract. From JACQUES PEPIN to MARTIN to LYDIA to DAISY there's nothing no one can't eat and feel aMAzing in doing so. Thank you KQED for these fantastic Chefs and cuisines. When you prepare one of these meals and people bring up year after year how delicious the food was and how they enjoyed it, you want to get back there and prepare another meal. I so hope younger persons get hip to these gems. Every Chef is a diamond ! Where else will one prepare a dish just like JACQUES PEPIN, instructed by JACQUES PEPIN ? Because of YAN, I have a sense of comfort in Chinatown. The BEST CHEFS IN THE WORLD allow you to stand toe to toe with them. Just think of all the novice chefs who meet these guys and go into a cold sweat ? Thank you, KQED and KZbin guys❣🎯

[@kittykat632]

Thank you Yan for encouraging me to cook😚

[@kqed]

If Yan can cook, so can you!

[@darrenm9597]

True pioneer

[@vulpineboriqua]

This is a trip for me, cuz I grew up watching an older Martin Yan on PBS in New York City He’s so young here lol

[@SoftBreadSoft]

Yes, he's only 146 in this show. :^)

[@pawncocktail4798]

legit skills

[@doro626]

I forgot that cooking shows used to have an audience.

[@alneri9041]

Dam i used to love this show.

[@youhavethisnametoo]

my baby brada

[@Christopher-N]

(25:56) Special Thanks Also To: Alpha Beta Company I have very little memory left of this chain, but it stirs positive memories.

[@spaded667]

The sound of the double chopping. 🥲

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

HINT: if you go to a butcher, you can ask him to put the cut of meat on the deli slicing machine and he can slice the raw meat as thin as you want it. I wanted the meat sliced paper thin for Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches.

[@jerryleroy9187]

And then the butcher hates to see you coming because he knows what you want and he dreads it. Think about that next time. I am a butcher by the way.

[@jusufagung]

And Stephen Yan???

[@edwardhanna86]

There another show called "wok with yan".. I just see other show today.. they both good yans to wok wiff

[@mcstonerdo]

i know its cool to bitch about the algorithm. but im really glad youtube suggested this

[@Andromeister27]

damn this is hella old skool flashback from the 80's

[@kqed]

Check out the one we uploaded today about microwave cooking. Sooo '80s!

[@MobWithGuns]

Anyone notice at 4:08 the possible coke pinky nail

[@KL005]

Sek choam laaaaaa

[@SergioRedz]

3:37 Chef Martin Yan, abusing proteins decades before Salt Bae

[@ergo322]

they have thousand dollar hair ! wowww.... miss that era when even guys had decent hair

[@mollies13]

Wait if that martin yan and that his brother michael yan.... then whos stephen yan???

[@EmilyMDong]

Stephen Yan is the Canadian chef from Hong Kong and he does the Wok with Yan in 1980 through 1995.

[@yanikkunitsin1466]

Dunno if anyone watching but that bird had some metoo moments half of the way

[@JThom-yh3ef]

Man, I wish I would’ve known more about this dude. I found out about him when he made an appearance on Hells Kitchen.

[@matthewfarmer6830]

I have his cook book that's 1993 it's signed to someone else like a chef Emily it's personal signed in Chinese and American with his name in it at the end of his message that he wrote in the book it's on the second page. He was still doing public broadcasting network. It's a third edition cook book. It was at an auction I got it with other books, it's like no one care to have it. So it was easy to get under $10.00

[@mofamba]

Hilarious

[@mcImariion]

Actually you can see Martin wants to help his brother to start his career in this field. Surly Michael can cook but obviously Michael's english is not fluent enough to be hosting something like this. Felt sorry for Michael.

[@alfan0079]

i thought it was stephen yan

[@naturesfinest4871]

Why not make a YTP of this episode?? Would be much more hilarious.

[@valeria-militiamessalina5672]

春雨润春笋🎉

[@dariusdeboer5498]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jeffreyjohn2037]

Using the same board for raw chicken mixed with other ingredients wouldn't pass by today's standards.

[@IZRElLO747]

You and brother Michael have excellent cutting skills technique🔪 🔪

[@yellowchocolate8539]

Awkward entrance, hi 👋🏻

[@deberahkearns3843]

After having raw chicken on cutting board he didn't wash board or his hands! Still a good show though.

[@frankstoeknife3685]

Deberah Kearns vegetables getting cooked also, maybe it’s ok

[@edwardhanna86]

Its comments like this, that make me wish there was no commenting at all.

[@alexc.3412]

Very true

[@neochen7235]

i guess this is more for demostration than making the actual dish to feed people. So are the dotted lines on the chicken. He ain't gonna feed you this..

[@wa2k99]

They didn't have diseases back then. And he's still alive...
