[@KYBlooograz]

My sister and I watched this every day all summer long while being watched by our grandmother. We couldn't wait for it to come on. He was so funny! I was probably 10. Love him!

[@blueblaze9862]

Me too. Memories w my grandmother. She used to laugh so much ❤️

[@thomaskrisa9132]

Yep back when you only had 11 channels.

[@Piyesis71]

@@thomaskrisa9132 We only had 3 channels back then but, yeah, we'd watch his show with our mom and dad. As well, I remember laughing with them a lot watching him. Loved his witty aprons.

[@SimonFerocius]

The first cooking show I've ever watched, polite language, easy recipe, easy ingredients....

[@scottchaffee3954]

never thought I'd see Wok with Yan ever again.. Been like forever and a day since last time. I use to watch with my Grandmother... Thanks for the memory!!

[@hartonoX69]

Jon Zhang... Gordon Ramsay... Than I try old Time chef wik wik yan (with)

[@EdenSonja]

My mom used to put this on the background as we did our homework..... thanks to this man I learned more about Chinese cooking than Chinese history and language!

[@shellyt556]

He really is a good chef. I wish I could have tried his food in Vancouver when he had his restaurant

[@heavyhitter5538]

Why the hck would u want to learn chinese history and language😂even Stephen Yan escaped to america from that fckng commie cesspit.

[@anncayetano8360]

i miss this show 😊 i watch this show when i was a kid 😉

[@flipburly]

yes Love him BUT he was sued by another Yan and had to close down. Think he lost a lot of money in the law suit. Damn Canadian Govt didn't help him.

I watched this all through the 80’s but we never made any of the food 😅🤷‍♂️ but I always Liked Chinese food because of this guy! He was awesome.

[@cuznbass]

Back when they actually cooked on a cooking show instead of making it some stupid competition or challenge.

[@ceciliaadoreno9831]

Welcome back STEPHEN YAN, the comedy cooking session. Very jolly. I miss you and your style of entertaining your audience and at the same time leave some cooking tips. I remember I always watch your show when I was young .

[@hassankhuzmawi2834]

It's all about money. They don't care anymore.

[@emilycathcart7387]

YES!!!! I hate all those competition shows. If I watch a cooking show, I want to actually learn how to make a new dish!

[@kimchiekim5411]

One of my fav shows when i was young

[@sonnycarrasco976]

Growing up in Manila. I love watching this show. When I moved to America, the popular Chinese cooking show was Yan can cook. I prefer this show compared to his American counterpart

[@gameshowguy2000]

That's Martin Yan who does Yan Can Cook.

[@TheDirtNASTY666]

I used to watch this show every day after school when I was a kid on PBS. I absolutely loved it he was hilarious and he always made great food

[@limerent72]

I used to watch this in the 80s! I have recently wondered what's happened to Stephan Yan. He was very likable and entertaining, and it was very comforting whenever I would watch his show; he had a passing resemblance to my dad in his younger years. Well done, Mr Yan! :)

[@MrBraffZachlin]

this show was my childhood lol. i was a weird little kid. that all said this guy was the bruce lee of asian cooking. he was authentic but also a pioneere in the west in that he showed us thru his humor and charisma a special culture of artisan chefs and cooks. i think channels on youtube, like "the taste show" , are what evolved from wok with yan. just good authentic passionate recipes and techniques

[@PhilMante]

I would call him the Jackie Chan of cooking. Bruce Lee never made me laugh. Jackie Chan always did.

[@char3679]

🤗 I’m 46, loved watching this show on sick days from school or snow days. I was telling my 20 year old inspiring chef about Wok with Yan Here I am. Thank you so much for this. 🙏❤️😊🇨🇦

He's very funny and entertaining. I didn't grow up in Canada so I missed out on this guy. We had Yan Can Cook, which was equally funny and entertaining.

Ah ok im in Australia and only had Yan Can Cook. This is like some bizzaro world version.

@@shadowplayish i could be wrong, but i think Wok with Yan predates Yan Can Cook by a few years Bizarro version is right. There are a lot of similarities

You ever have one of those moments where you forget a guy existed for more years than one can count on both hands, and then all the sudden randomly see him and somehow you remember the guy right away? I haven't seen this guy in over 30 years. And all the sudden I see him and I'm like, dude, it's "that guy!" And then I ask myself, why do I go to every store in this whole state and cannot still find authentic woks like that?

[@modiggity4840]

I used to watch this when I was young. Yan didn't give a *shit* about cross contamination, cooking with raw eggs or anything like that. And back in those days we didn't constantly have romaine lettuce or this or that that could poison you due to contamination from factory farms cheaping out on their farming methods. Although a few years before I was born there had been a terrible problem with botulism in canned goods, so food scares were not unknown. Botulism is still an issue in certain kinds of home canned goods, but its been mostly eliminated--probably completely eliminated--from commercially canned goods.

This guy was a stand-up comedian whos whole act was about teaching us how to cook.

[@Hunnie_B]

Exactly!!

[@nala2839]

Except he owned 2 Chinese restaurants in van

[@PhilMante]

@@nala2839 That is true. Obviously he made his money through his restaurants but he had a gift of comedy that he combined with his talent of cooking & put it together.

[@smartiboi]

@@PhilMante He didn't just make money through his restaurants though. Stephen Yan was genuinely famous across North America throughout the 80s and early 90s. He had dozens of cookbooks (my mom has every single one), his own line of cookware, and other affiliate deals (e.g. Yan branded food). He had a full team of demonstrators attending all big trade shows and consumer events. He was big enough to get a guest spot on Letterman and a bunch of other American daytime and late-night shows. We don't really know about him now because his retirement was incredibly sudden and his presence disappeared before the internet became mainstream in the late-90s
