[@SortedFood]

What are you planning on cooking up for your favourite foodie this Valentine’s day? P.S. This gift package is a nifty idea if you’re in a last min panic…. bit.ly/3bqbFSR

[@popicalbubbles]

Ooooo that's a tough question, but i'd LOVE from a valentine...Steak, Potatoes & Brussels :) How about you?

[@oscarliam6763]

A single pancake. 😣

[@Boom12]

I will cook Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and soup...for 1. Because I have no one to date with, so all of this is for moi.

[@PandaCatXD]

Barry represents all the times I've thought a school assignment was really easy, so I left it to last minute, but something went wrong, so it was *really* last minute, but I managed to hand it in on time. THANKS A LOT FOR THE SCHOOL FLASHBACKS. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ON HOLIDAY.

[@keepinitrreal]

Yeah... I think I can speak for most of the Asians that got confused since there was no preparation of any noodles of sorts as the deadline got closer and closer. It'll be weird if Barry made his own wrappers but not the noodles so errr, yeah. Wonton is the dumplings and mee is the noodles.

Jamie isn't bad at pass it on. If anything he messes up the least because he only moves stuff along if he's sure that's what the previous chefs and normals want him to do. He also only adds things that are within the brief. Like the only thing he ever does wrong is not see stuff or become so paralyzed by confusion he just sits there eating snacking meat. But the last one I saw, he actually checked the fridge, oven and closed cookers. I cheered when he said "growth"! He does so well now that he's learned to check for clues (rather than snacking meat) as soon as he comes in.

[@mjneufeld9965]

On a serious note, I love how comfortable you are showing affection towards each other on camera (e.g. Jamie kissing James' forehead) because that's something that a lot of men don't feel comfortable with as a result of society's insistence on perpetuating the belief that men can't be physically affectionate
