cute, do you have boyfriend?

[@RyanDeanDexton]

yes

[@jothomson7645]

🤭

[@joonmyunkim4461]

Sorry Joe he's mine 😃

[@alexandre.m.a.simoes]

I don't have... If u want...😅

[@creekrat4774]

Yesss hhhh. I love you so much 😊

[@Pedigru]

It's so relaxing watching other people work.

[@Zeuskazoo]

Especially one as zen as this guy

[@CraigTulloch]

It’s ironic that this is so meditative to watch while knowing that restaurant kitchens are such a high stress environment.

[@criticalvibes6375]

prep cooks usually arrive well before service to prepare everything for the day, and while there is overlap between theirs and the other cooks shifts, they don't usually participate in actual service, which is the high stress part.

[@loosdamoose4489]

School didn't prep us for high stress........... I think

[@chloekhamxox]

Prepping can be very calming

[@samlaw5959]

Ahhhhhh ffs man, I really hope you catch the algorithm again because THIS is the content that people kill for.

[@christiandoce]

Would love to see what you cook for yourself on days when you prep and cook all day.

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Uber eats 👀

[@trishajbooth2606]

The filming was great, I wish I knew the ingredients and the dishes they were meant for! Really relaxing in any case

[@hugovieirafn588]

I just love this man working…❤

[@yalazha]

Love the music, the camera angles, and always interested to see restaurants making things like bread from scratch. Also as someone who regularly tries new Asian recipes, it's always interesting thinking "what will those maitake mushrooms be used for at a fancy restaurant like this? or the banana leaf rolls?"

[@souvikdatta2194]

absolutely love these kind of videos,Ryan❤

[@polina_pr]

never knew i needed these videos in my life, but apparently i do. they are so calming and enjoyable!

[@Mads33]

It’s really nice to see such a tiny kitchen work so well together. My last job was about the same size but with less counter space, and everyone was each other’s way, huffing and puffing, always frustrated and angry.

[@RyanDeanDexton]

It can be really tough to find a positive environment, this place is definitely an exception!

[@zephyrella]

That was a very calming video to watch.

[@wehojm7320]

Paired with the music, watching you is quite meditative.

[@Polemion]

I love Videos like this! I love seeing you cooking! more please

[@shellztalo]

This vid was quite relaxing.

[@navyforeveryoungjean-phili5940]

Well done

[@apexhunter333]

You should do more of these kind of videos Chef cheers!

[@chef_benny]

YES CHEF

[@hotbodtz]

The strain this work creates on the body is unfathomable but know this young man we've only so many years to toil. God bless.

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Thanks for the amazing video, Ryan! Have a great week ahead! Cheers from Brazil!

[@cestvraicommeceuxdit]

the mushroom peelling was very Olivia Colman in The Bear

[@JustAnotherCook.]

Watching this the night before going back to work after few days, just what I needed to start the week motivated.

[@delizcas76]

Ryan 🎥🎞️ editing is a masterpiece 🧠🧞‍♂️👌😮‍💨 Greetings ✋

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Wow...I only just realized...because these videos are so immersive...how many cameras do you have going? Do your coworkers mind that you're filming as you prep? Does your head chef mind that you're basically making money off them by working two jobs at once? How much does filming interfere with your prep? How long does it take you to edit all of this? These videos are amazing, but man, it must take forever.

[@RyanDeanDexton]

I try my best to be organized so I don’t prep too slowly, that’s why sometimes I don’t show the whole day or every task. Editing the videos takes maybe 5 hours if I am focused. It’s getting easier the more I do it!

[@MatijaMedved]

thx for editing them

[@alaadd11]

I’m in love

[@chadcoxrox]

mushroom love. 💖

[@tylermangum4562]

Ryan, what a saint you are.

[@Supergigi35]

Hi Ryan, great video! I thought you stopped working in a kitchen; is this a video you filmed previously?

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Nope! Im back for a little bit!

[@edwinandrades543]

This was beautiful 😻

[@Miratoboy]

This man is working in a kitchen also helping his boyfriend in their coffeshop and editing for KZbin do u even have time to play NBA 2k24

Are you a little restless mister - cook - barista and now cook again - what`s the longer term plans

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Big plans for Cowdog Coffee 👀

[@reallyyouthful]

Nice video. Shame about the 'music'.

Hallacas venezolanas 😮

Don’t know if it’s different in other countries but raw chicken on a red board?!? Isn’t it yellow. Just curious. Also love the vids!!!

[@RyanDeanDexton]

That was duck! Technically it’s a red meat and contains no salmonella

[@TheWeymoufGamer]

@@RyanDeanDexton that makes more sense

[@robertsimons806]

Hi i now you make something with children and what les are you cooking looks good can you please tell me by robert

[@user-nm9bd5kh8v]

Just wondering how long has the commercial induction cooking equipment been around seems like gas has been gone for a few years in Canada

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Many kitchens still use gas, probably most. Induction makes zoning the space for restaurants easier!

[@user-nm9bd5kh8v]

@@RyanDeanDexton I thinking of making one in Toronto ON on King West St has this would make it possible to do it without the high cost of installing a gas line and monthly gas bills

[@dojalikethecat]

Next show us "day in the life of a only fans model" :D

[@komlat253]

This is how u cook 😂

[@iy1231]

What do you listen to while you cook? I listen to instrumental or very calm music.

[@RyanDeanDexton]

I like hip hop or podcasts!

Maybe it’s me but every video reminds me of ’The Bear’ lol

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Good show 👍🏻

[@johndarrelcano8177]

Where u making tamales? The thing you wrapped in banana leaf?

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Yes! A Filipino style tamale using rice instead of corn!

[@johndarrelcano8177]

@@RyanDeanDexton thats awesome. As a chef myself. I relate on what you do and I love it. Keep cookin. Cheers!

[@stefanosvasiliou1185]

what is the camera you are using?

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Canon m100

[@kristinchong629]

🌊🌊🌊 So cool to see behind the scene of restaurants. Although I have to say like yeah the best be the next Anthony bourdain but like I don’t know like it’s so nice to have like a family neighborhood owned restaurant like everything doesn’t have to be big box McDonald’s or chipotle or like Applebees or whatever like pizzerias are so cool.

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Support local!!

[@Mokezito]

do more plss

[@claudiachew811]

why did you burn the rice? I'm intrigued by this meal

[@RyanDeanDexton]

Coconut! It’s a take on a traditional Filipino dish called pyonggang
