Martin Yan is such a legend, at par with Jacques Pépin and Julia Childs, his unique style of bringing chinese cooking to the average and wide US audience, not to mention Canadian and far and wide audience abroad is immeasurable contribution to the world's culinary and entertainement legacy. Such an icon... he needs to be much more recognised as such

Just purchased a Martin Yan Can Cook Chef's knife and diamond sharpening rod. My goal is to debone a chicken within a minute. The knife is magnificent....very sharp and substantial. Thank you Martin for many, many, many years of TV watching enjoyment.

I’m so bummed that I missed him. Less than 45 minutes from where I live. Hopefully I make one, one of these days.
