Is there a better TV chef than Martin Yan? |

He's so entertaining, and the stuff he makes looks soo good!

for many years. Back in the 70's he had a show on Saturday nights from Canada. I used to love his bad jokes that he cracked up to.

Martin Yan is just:
1) chop the meat 2) stir fry
admittedly I have not watched in 10 years.

Which is what is so appealling about him. |
|
We feel as if we too could make it if we follow his simple directions.

8. Plus, at times he does some badass stuff with the cleaver of his. |
|
I also like his travel segments to Chinatowns around the world. I must visit San Francisco Chinatown someday.

17. Well that's a charitable way of looking at it |
|
Although I don't think the average person could attempt the chopping he does without following it up with a visit to the Emergency Room.

He got his start in Toronto.
His show was called "Yan Can Cook".

12. I do too. It didn't matter what he was cooking. I tuned in for the stories! |
|
Though he did cook good, I gar-on-tee!

13. i'd wait for the reruns, just to try to copy the recipes |
|
I love cajun/deep southern food, and his stuff always came out so good...
I have a few of Paul Prudhomme's cookbooks, but it's just not the same... too complicated and 'pretty'.

21. I'm a pretty committed Alton Brown man myself. |
|
I really enjoy the science and theory behind the food--more even than learning about individual dishes. Plus since he has a background n TV production as opposed to restaurant work Good Eats is very entertaining and visually distinct.
But I am a sucker for a good cooking show. And to be honest I am unfamilar with Martin Yan.
