[@VladamireD]

@@jennyxie5382 he had a show in the early 80s called "Yan Can Cook".

[@dougraddi908]

[@joymayweather4436]

Mr.Yan is so skillful.He is the most hilarious chef ever!..He is a natural entertainer.You are so cool too.I admire your work

[@chrisowens6556]

Before there was the food network there was PBS. It's where I first saw all these great food artists...and Bob Ross. Thanks PBS!

[@CookingWithCows]

Ha. "The birds come home to roast." - precious.

[@mandalor-8315]

[@HowManyTimes234]

Grandmaster chef. Doesn’t measure a damn thing but knows exactly how much he needs

[@goldenmanuever1176]

And he goes back way before this food channel crap . Yan was doing this in the late 1970s on PBS......along with Jeff Smith.

[@CelesteKTheNewWaveRevue]

And Julia Child, and Jaques Pepin!

[@dprofessor4781]

Chef Yan Kan.....still remember the days in the 1970s when you were in Calgary. I love your videos because your cooking is great, and the variety of you food is wonderful; and more importantly, done in the north American kitchen when deep frying with the hot flame can burn down the house. Keep up the good work with sharing Chinese cooking with all of us ....and happy traveling...Martin Yan's Chinatowns are da best !!!

[@Meaavbh]

together with Julia Child, Jeff Smith... Pioneer Chefs and cooking programs😍

[@RobertMoua]

9:21 damm homeboy ninja chopped that so haha. thanks for the upload. fun to watch him cook. one of my childhood superstars along with Bob Ross.

[@Jeneral28]

Ninja my foot

[@obliviousfafnir01]

He's Chinese, so more like Shaolin chop.

[@Jessmess112]

My uncle used to watch him and crack up. I miss my youth.

[@warsshan]

He is known in the ninja circle as "Minced Garlic"

[@alexism.7712]

😭😂

[@drvizeralkavokinstine5145]

Is it just me or is he the best to watch when high!

[@secretagent5954]

DR Vizeral Kavokinstine everything is best when youre high

[@martind349]

I saw martin yan at the airport He is a good, friendly man

[@reina_091]

I love watching yan can cook I watch it with my family

[@guatesalva]

This show was awesome and juila child I watched every week

[@normlor8109]

I received "the Foods of the World" as a gift from my dad and this volume was from China and it had totally authentic dishes and Peking Duck was one of them and I must have watched 100 versions of this and almost all have totally different ideas of making this from putting marmalade in it to not inflating the skin which separates this iconic dish from a BBQ version of duck I have made about 10 and it takes some doing to convince Canadians that hanging the ducks for 2 days is not dangerous to our health and I have read that the original recipe from the first dishes was 50 K words but NOTHING can beat it's flavor

[@vincentwinkleblech3614]

i moved from northern NJ to Florida..... i used to hit Mott street 5 times a month for peking duck. I miss it so much!

[@littledotti6808]

This guy is amazing, I remember his show Yan Can Cook. Dang, I feel old.

[@ailinseah3190]

if yan can cook so can I. 😂😆😍

[@whoopsydaisy6389]

I grew up watching this man cook. I still have his cook books and the meat cleaver complete with the box and certificate.

[@jonathantran8060]

Man he's such an good cook. Wish he was my chef lol... The Peking duck though OMG!!! I love it

[@philipmclaughlin9636]

I've been to his restaurant in San Francisco. Very good !!

[@dougraddi908]

Cool

[@ailinseah3190]

I love his shows started watching every episode at 19 now 46 got alot of ideas what to cook like just few days ago now grandmother already last few days feels like watching his cooking program again so download alot.

[@Forevertrue]

Still one of the best.

[@angryidahobusdriver]

ducks just chillin' in the back.

[@douglasraddi8593]

The original iron chef, Martin, Emeril Lagasse I would watch all the time. Time just flew, thanks for KZbin I can watch them again.

[@dannysimion]

I wanna know what kind of tea he drinks before the show because he has the energy of a 10 year old and I love it!!

[@jasonahbh4880]

One duck fooooooouuuurrrr dishes 🎻

[@dgftw]

He clearly doesn’t like doing dishes. The man can cook and entire meal with chopsticks and a meat cleaver. I love this dude and I always have

[@dougraddi908]

I grew up watching him, Emeril Lagasse and the original Iron chef, now food network has gone the way of game shows

[@JC-ft3vv]

Classic show, from back when the Food Network was worth watching - it had shows that actually showed you how to cook real food... no longer

[@RKO859]

If yan can cook, so can you!!!

[@bluewhale4277]

Mr. Yan's knife skills are amazing! I mean look at the guy's precision and speed!

[@DisingenuousComment]

"You can take the skin off if you like" !??!?!?!?!? The Skin is the most important part of beijing duck

[@user-lv6rn9cf8m]

Yeah, more like - "you can take the meat off if you like".

[@marcoscruz1998]

I watched your show when I was a kid 😄

[@jdakid156]

"LOOOK AT DAT!"

[@BoyAditya]

hey i remember this show ^_^ used to watch on Saturday morning

[@FlameAdder]

I know what he meant, but "You can actually eat tofu!" still cracked me up

[@MigPlz91LivestreamOnly]

Some people are skeptical about uncooked tofu

[@StevieWeebieLee]

I'd watch the restaurant part every time I'm getting hungry. Peking duck is just delicious as heck and I really like that they use the remaining carcass for repurposing for another duck dishes.

[@etienneperley8240]

I love how he karate chops his food

[@mandalor-8315]

I'm from San Francisco I grew up watching my guy Yan Can...

[@lindasanders7444]

When food network had shows that were good and worth watching.

[@jeffh1556]

grew up watching Yan can cook on PBS in the late 90s, where did the time go..

[@drakedraven6961]

He owns a restaurant in SF, California. A retired chef still cooking when he's on his spare time, and YAN CAN STILL COOK!

[@NinaSeleneRossi]

Martin Yan is the MAN!!!!

[@elaineyiu2375]

Enjoying your presentation... Please continue to post your recipes... I will try them out and share them with family and friends... Your Chinese Food fan from Mililani, Hawaii... Mahalo and Aloha!

[@zukriuchen]

lol I like how quiet they are when eating, sign of a good meal

[@Alexanderortiz99]

I love how some ppl would say "eww. Keep the carcass. Cook it? That's gross. I would never." Oh, but you have. Not you, but your lineage. That is how we all have survived in the past. How do you think we all came out through the other end of winters, famine, disease, drought, and so on? THis is how we all live. ALL LIVE! Not just some ppl.

[@victoriavaughn1442]

Oh how I love this man. I learned to use white pepper from him many years ago.

[@Area51ZeroX]

For those all the meat lovers out there that haven't had Peking Duck before, you're missing out! One of my all time favorite dish as Martin said the best part is the skin.

[@Minastir1]

In mainland china they just serve the skin and save the meat for lesser dishes.

[@tommyt1971]

That might be the first time I’ve seen the chef sit down and eat what he just created with his guest.

[@michaelonusko1518]

I wish I could get peking duck here! Martin Yan is the best of the best!

[@MrISabier]

I was planning a trip to Hong Kong for the sights and sounds. Now the planning is firmly for ducks and geese.

[@MigPlz91LivestreamOnly]

This man is a legend in the kitchen

[@maverickdallas9055]

I replayed the "mince the garlic" part for at least 50 times, never get how he did that 'phew!' thing.

[@5.0foxbody8]

Love this dudes knife skills

[@user-xd4fh7yq1p]

Thank G-d he's not a serial killer :D

[@NazriB]

I heard that Martin Yan can chop onions with his eyes blindfolded.

[@dengster8884]

Nazri Buang most Chinese cooks all can after doing it for years

[@queenjenna2696]

Yes he can when he was out here in Arizona at the Chinese culture center for Chinese New year one time he did show off his talents on that when he was asked from many fans I was pleased to see he said it and showed he was real and never lied about it.. he is a wonderful and talented man of his skills...

[@lucashan9176]

Duck is my favorite game bird. I like turkey too

[@jchow7607]

Loved the first minute of bad puns

[@GangstaMojo]

i grew up watching him on his first show Yan Can Cook

[@misaqueenbeeher8093]

Classic Chinese cooking my lil brother watched him cook And he did learn some of his dishes.

[@masterpeace1647]

This brings back a lot of memories. Thank you for uploading. I still remembered when i was young and this show was on air. It's been a while, hah?

[@PeterAtkinson]

Have you got any more episodes of Martin yans Chinatowns? You have a couple that I haven't got yet. I've been looking for these for years. I have about 60 all up now only missing about 5-10.

[@Lakiesha33]

They should really bring his show back.

[@JackGoh]

Definitely, the best chef in the world ever.

[@shelumeifeng2860]

Real eye-opener! I haven’t known the “Peking Duck” can be made a soup before. I love the duck soup, but I don’t like plenty of fat swam on the surface of soup.Maybe some haws is required for my duck soup:-D

[@PorkChopJones]

Looks very delicious! One Duck 4 dishes!

[@DaveT1205]

Nice to hear you speaking Cantonese. Top chef.

[@norxcontacts]

If Yan can cook, you can too!

[@Omarrz]

For some reason when he looks right at the camera and says that I'm his special guest, I believe him...

[@judoboy1962]

Back in the day when life was much simpler

[@turtleh]

Yan can Cook the original man.

[@spartan1010101]

Just put it on my bill...oh god I'mma use that one lol

[@victorha9923]

The chefs eating that duck meal next to him are probably sick of eating duck, because that's the main focus there, and they're tired of dealing with duck.

[@voutenixz]

My cooking teacher every 5AM years ago!!!

[@TrustworthyFella]

Awesome :) Just wondering how many people lost limbs or lives trying to 'mince garlic like this' :D (9:19)

[@edwinly382]

He's the best

[@nhongtamvn1928]

very memorial music

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

If duck is ever on the menu, I have a hard time ordering anything else.

[@pwndecaf]

Oh, man - that's duck soup!

[@kevngu7256]

Push it down push it down and cut it up cut it up!

[@rajavlitra]

9:19 So that's where Issac Toups got the trick

[@jamesb8305]

Amazing how he can say the "L" sound properly.

[@kenRoberts1984]

Hoisin is the secret sauce

[@RilaEagle]

+kenny Roberts its called "Tian mian". sweeter than hoisin.

[@kenRoberts1984]

Cool, most use Hoisin for that

[@RilaEagle]

maybe in america or any other countries. But in China, we use tian mian:)

[@kenRoberts1984]

Cool, thank you. I didn't know that. I'm from Canada. Near Toronto

[@RilaEagle]

you are very welcome. I live in Vancouver :)

[@worldgonecrazyo1880]

I wonder if he meant pull instead of push

[@RN-py8rv]

Wow... have to order duck for duck dinner.

[@SunPing32]

The Best!!!!!

[@eangthaingov9923]

Hello there! How did the chicken cross the road? Somebody threw the chicken egg across the road and the egg became the chicken. Lol? ETN...

[@chadbaier2557]

Man that making me hungry as hell

[@rbeck3200tb40]

Here is the restaurant Peking Duck House www.pekingduckhousenyc.com/

[@Girlgamssilver]

I love watching people cook. That"s a good way to learn. But I'm sure it must take more than just that

[@yellowrain3601]

I second what Yan says at 5:14...ive done it myself many times

[@timchung3597]

He is good contonese chef

[@vexotoniks]

4:29 for real he actually said “Ching Ching pong Ching”

[@2251230]

He meant clear soup or broth...simple

[@franklinlewis6829]

Ctfuuuuuuu!!! Ayoooo you're stupid!! I musta played that part 100 times!! As me as we tease Chinese people he actually said it!!!😂😂😂😂😂

[@BrawnyBuddha]

Action Bronson brought me here.

[@ZanesFacebook]

How many dishes?

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

What is special sause?

[@stevenl3058]

4:00 Keep playing this over and over...

[@franklinlewis6829]

Omg!!!!! 😂😂😂💲💲💲💲

[@sueannerush3567]

Excellent

[@forplan1]

Love real Chinese cooking👍

[@MikeTrieu]

Whoa! I didn't know about the air injection to separate the skin. Is there an easy technique to do that at home?

[@zero2hero99]

Mike Trieu no

[@MikeTrieu]

Aram K I dunno, I think I might be able to rig one using an air compressor and a food grade sausage nozzle.

[@zero2hero99]

Mike Trieu or you can just go to a Chinese restaurant.. lol whole thing’s a hassle

[@MikeTrieu]

Aram K The point is to learn a personal skill. Some people actually take joy in cooking. That's what Martin Yan was trying to teach.

[@zero2hero99]

Mike Trieu yeah let me know when you have that special roasting oven installed in your house as well
