Takes a lot of guts to leave behind something you committed to in order move towards a new adventure. Your staff dinner looked delicious. Best of luck to you, Ryan.

[@fanofmetals]

Good on you for making the change. I made a similar choice last year being a military chef at 30, decided to try something completely new and become a Data Analyst. A few weeks ago I got an apprenticeship at a large company, anything is possible but only you can make that happen.

[@cheekynandosss581]

Congratulations on the move! Change is scary but we can’t move forward in life without vulnerability 👏

[@acooknamedMatt]

I remember the days of filming at the restaurant as a cook. Keep pushing chef. Good stuff.

[@ethanhennessy765]

You should take some tips

[@MementoVivere.]

I enjoy seeing who you are outside of Joe’s channel. Been watching his for 4 years and hope to see yours for just as long 🙏🏽

[@MrBonka88]

Hey from Germany!!! I know it was hard work but to watch you while cooking like that is indeed a very calming experience. I‘m gay (too) and always love your vlogs together. Wish you all the best for your future!!!! Please stay authentic like you are. Looking forward to learn more about the art of cooking from you. I‘m coffee addicted just as you and absolutely love to cook for my loved ones too. So i‘m sure there are tons of things that you can teach us in the future. Thanks a lot for this nightly Upload! Now i‘m going to sleep… Regards over the ocean!

[@gabrielncali8999]

Wow! So what’s next? I am new to watching your videos! I’ve seen a few. I love cooking and so rewarding to cook and must be so rewarding seeing your menu come alive?

[@TheSoapiestWanger]

I've been there 13 years ago, I have never been happier. While I do miss it, the pay will never be the same as other jobs out there. Unless you are a head chef/owner

[@Julien-bt7fd]

Handsome guy, this is never your last day as a chef your hands and your demeanor have the urge for culinary pleasure. Wherever you are or doing😘

[@thekillerhealer9359]

My back hurts just by watching this. So much hardwork and dedication. Bless u brother

[@a-5699]

I nearly followed the same path as you Ryan. In would’ve found myself in exactly the same dilemma too. It’s not an easy life, but I found another way. You will too.

these are so satisfyingggg! we'll definitely miss these videos but excited for what's next

[@johnmones1450]

You look so natural and confident in this environment. And, in a way I can see how it can be a grind from prep to execution. My parents owned a restaurant and I helped them once when I went back home to visit them. I was there at 5a with my dad and I would start prepping (for hours) helping the dishwashers and pitching so the staff could take breaks. At the end of the day (11p) I was beat to sh-t. My father and mother did this 6 days a week. On Sunday, when the restaurant was closed, they would stock up for the restaurant. It was their life together. Not mine. 😬 It’s a hard life. I hope you find something new and as rewarding and satisfying as your last career. Good luck 👍🙏😎

Good things and best wishes blah blah blah youre truly amazing and know you’ll kick ass in this world… just had to stop by and say Thank you for doing so 🤘
