The third song used in this video at 4:34 (Echo of A Rose - City Girl) is one of the warmest, most nostalgic pieces of music I've listened to in a long time. All of City Girl's songs are wonderful, but this track in particular brought forth a wave of memories and feelings I haven't had in a while.
Tranquility......... just feels like an appropriate word. In addition to wholesome, thoughtful, gentle. Surprised how touched I am watching a stranger cook burgers on the internet. Thank you and well done. please continue to make this art as long as it brings you joy.
@@NiiCooAG Start talking to people, find people that you like and message them, there are lots of ways to meet new people in this day and age, Online Apps etc or even in Person, go out and about in Parks, Gyms, Library etc.
It's my 1st time here but the texts music and whole atmosphere makes it seem like he's telling you his story while making you hear the satisfying sound and appearance of his cooking which I 100 percent love
when alvin said that suddenly the world didnt seems so bright anymore......damn even watching him eat that burger made me wanna cry of how sad it was he was eating it by himself.
The quality of content is great, it's a pity the recipes most of the time aren't that great. These are some dry ass burgers considering how lean they are.
It's not lame to want to cook for your friends, it's really sweet. you don't need to feel bad for doing what you love, especially when you're doing it for someone else
There’s a deeper story with this man. You can kinda tell he misses the past a little bit and he misses the memories, as if he won’t get to experience them again. And he’s very humble and genuine.
Truly an amazing video. Your narrative, even in the format of subtitles, is so real. I think many people feel the same way and have a hard time reconnecting with old friends, so it is always nice to have an excuse to do something nice for them or even just spend time with them. Those burgers look amazing, thank you for posting such real and sincere content friend.
It's nice but it turns me off from his videos when I want something in the background. I want to hear someone taking me through the process instead of missing 99% of the text. We've all heard these songs over and over again. I could just go listen to a chill hop video if that's what I wanted.
i came across your channel by a friend sending your 150 hour cake video today, and now im completely hooked. your channel is hands down the best cooking channel i have ever seen. not only do you show people how to have patience when making good food, you also make it a point to make the actual video pleasant to watch. your editing style, your camera work, the music you use, even how you tweak the volume of your video during parts where you use loud machinery (thank you for that btw) it's just.. such a warm and cozy feeling, watching these videos. please never stop.
the fact that he cooks for his friends every time so passionately and caringly is truly an amazing feat. I love zen stuff as well as cooking so you're videos are almost like the best choice for peacefulness for me. I truly admire your videos therefore I want to give you a small tip about cooking burgers. Seasoning the pattie before frying on both sides increases its flavors significantly. I really REALLY love your videos and attitude towards your friends and I hope you will continue making content and your hands down THE BEST UA-camr for peaceful and joyful cooking for me..... Love from India :D

Just like every single time I view one of your videos I'm rendered speechless. Despite the fact I speak more than a few languages I struggles to find words to precisely describe what I feel. Every frame, phrase and melody conveys a feeling of tranquility and sparks joy and nostalgia inside my heart. Thank you
I LOVE the pace of your cooking! I know this may sound like a weird comment, but other cooking channels rush through the process. Your pace is so refreshing. I try to emulate your pace now when I cook. Slowing down brings back the enjoyment of creating something beautiful. Thanks!
Sometimes people want straight to the point recipe video so they can make their dish right away,this video is more for who enjoy watching people cooking and to get relaxed
And I love that he doesn't talk and yet we all get it. A lot of cooks talk constantly and very fast. That is too much input for me. Visuals and audio. Nope.
You also mentioned Your Name in the commentary. Then came the segment from 4:35 - 4:50, and I was immediately reminded of Makoto Shinkai's directing style. The shots and music had the same style that evokes feelings of peace and solitariness.
ngl, that bit about how his mom would take him to in-n-out after grocery shopping and how it made him happy, and the "Thanks mom" made me tear up. i gotta go hug my own mom for all those little moments. these videos are always so wholesome.
Ok, this is video number two. Both left me without a doubt the food was amazing. Thank you. Such a joy and now I am so hungry. But, yes, I’ll slow it down to yum the bite.
"I don't see my friends very often, but that's okay, that's just how life is sometimes." Dude I feel that. It's really important to maintain friendships these days, everything moves so fast and it can be easy to drift apart.
@@pooplord6968 lucky xD, 7 years here, started off with me being busy, then it took a long time and i didnt reply to them sometimes, now i am too scared to talk to them cuz i basically ignored them for years so i cant bring myself to say hi
He seems like a lonely guy. 🤐No time for friends/ family when you’re specializing in the longest way possible to make food. I’m here from the 100 hour lasagna. It was the most ridiculous, sexy and over-exaggerated video making of a lasagna I’ll ever experience in my lifetime. I’m not mad at it either
It's not lame, I also do somethings just so I could meet some friends again 😅 it's just our way of showing our love and sincerity for them. I feel like you're also not good in expressing yourself by talking, are you?? Because I'm not that's why I do different things for people to show them my feelings.
@@juliannelin3153 i think they mean like since he cant express his appreciation for his friends through talking, he does things like this for his friends.
I think this is better for him, since usually we can’t express our gratitude to our friends through words, but mostly it’s because most Korean vlogs don’t speak (like Zoe) and they just work on whatever they’re working on. I think Alvin wanted that type of vibe so he decided not to do a voiceover
@@stevanzdravkovic835 I think you're close but I would argue the real secret is to cut them lengthwise, so pole-to-pole instead of across the equator. It causes less damage to the cell walls and the smell won't be as pungent.

I cried to watching "Your Name". It was a great tear jerker. This is the longest wait for a burger I have ever seen. I mean 6 hours. Who is going to wait that long when they are hungry lol. Great job and looks awesome. New subscriber here.

it is NOT lame to want to show your friends affection or want to see them! NEITHER ARE YOU LAME ALVIN. You are certainly the culmination of the calmest and coolest of culinary creators

Just like every single time I view one of your videos I'm rendered speechless. Despite the fact I speak more than a few languages I struggles to find words to precisely describe what I feel. Every frame, phrase and melody conveys a feeling of tranquility and sparks joy and nostalgia inside my heart. Thank you
I really don't know why but watching this has made me really happy, mad bless.
I LOVE the pace of your cooking! I know this may sound like a weird comment, but other cooking channels rush through the process. Your pace is so refreshing. I try to emulate your pace now when I cook. Slowing down brings back the enjoyment of creating something beautiful. Thanks!
Sometimes people want straight to the point recipe video so they can make their dish right away,this video is more for who enjoy watching people cooking and to get relaxed
And I love that he doesn't talk and yet we all get it. A lot of cooks talk constantly and very fast. That is too much input for me. Visuals and audio. Nope.
tru
Agree :)
You also mentioned Your Name in the commentary. Then came the segment from 4:35 - 4:50, and I was immediately reminded of Makoto Shinkai's directing style. The shots and music had the same style that evokes feelings of peace and solitariness.
Imagine his friends got mcdonalds when he was cooking
well fuck
More for me then!
fuck your name
@@allen.9 stfu
i see you everywhere now lol
this guys videos are so relaxing
ngl, that bit about how his mom would take him to in-n-out after grocery shopping and how it made him happy, and the "Thanks mom" made me tear up. i gotta go hug my own mom for all those little moments. these videos are always so wholesome.

I can eat this all day!
oh cool a youtubef
same lol xd
Bit large
Didn’t know you watched Alvin too

U also watch em?
My dude seriously stood over a pan stirring onions for 2 hours?!
And for his friends lmao if i were him i woulda sneak then and eat them good stuff
It's caramelized onions so yeah it's worth it.
히산 I mean yes and no. It doesn’t take that long to caramelise onions. But I’m sure it was worth it!
I dont think he stood by the pan he might have just went to his room and watched youtube while waiting
@@845xx4 the bottom would burn and stick if he did that
"I don't see my friends very often, but that's okay, that's just how life is sometimes." Dude I feel that. It's really important to maintain friendships these days, everything moves so fast and it can be easy to drift apart.
not to mention it hits differently now, when even if we want to see our friends, we can't actually do it :(
yeah im kinda going through that rn i havent talked to my friend in like 6 months
@@pooplord6968 lucky xD, 7 years here, started off with me being busy, then it took a long time and i didnt reply to them sometimes, now i am too scared to talk to them cuz i basically ignored them for years so i cant bring myself to say hi

Wait,you guys have friends?
This is honestly one of my favourite videos on the entire platform.
Alvin: Cooks onions for 1 hour. Onions are golden and tasty.
Me: Cooks onions for 1 hour. House burns down. Onions are radioactive and burnt.
lmao
You're cooking them too hot. Caramelized onions need low, slow heat.
@@Jamixiy I appreciated the advice
then maybe use low heat next time, yeah?

He is literally the Bob Ross of cooking.
-Great at what he does
-Nice and Happy personality
-Has a reference for everything
You forgot.
-We love Bob..
-We love Alvin.
We don't deserve him. I want to be Alvin's friend so badly... He just seems like such a genuinely nice guy.
Just don’t use him for food. Treat him good. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
He seems like a lonely guy. 🤐No time for friends/ family when you’re specializing in the longest way possible to make food. I’m here from the 100 hour lasagna. It was the most ridiculous, sexy and over-exaggerated video making of a lasagna I’ll ever experience in my lifetime. I’m not mad at it either
He does seem really nice to be around
Bub
He serves his burgers cold, and he put so much passion in his work, all the juices dripping in the shield, what is he?😂
OMFG! That was beautiful. Thank you. Props to burger person. They know what they are doing!

@@fionaelle5542 Mee toooo
It's not lame, I also do somethings just so I could meet some friends again 😅 it's just our way of showing our love and sincerity for them. I feel like you're also not good in expressing yourself by talking, are you?? Because I'm not that's why I do different things for people to show them my feelings.
Tanvi Kausar nah he can talk okay, it’s just that he chooses not to talk in his videos
Tanvi Kausar everyone has their own way of showing their love and sincerely so that’s great! :)
I mean it could just be he doesn't like the sound of his own voice on videos... most people dont 😂
@@juliannelin3153 i think they mean like since he cant express his appreciation for his friends through talking, he does things like this for his friends.
I think this is better for him, since usually we can’t express our gratitude to our friends through words, but mostly it’s because most Korean vlogs don’t speak (like Zoe) and they just work on whatever they’re working on. I think Alvin wanted that type of vibe so he decided not to do a voiceover
Best youtube video I've seen today
"Sounds lame, right?" Man made a whole cooking video and just abt made us cry, good shit
ua-cam.com/users/BrandsReviewvideos
Watching him cut those onions somehow managed to make me cry too.
Didn't even speak either
no, he made me cry.
Alvin: 'it's a little ugly"
Patty: Father I thought you loved me :(
Ugly food always tastes the best, though.
I thought i was the only one thinking about his friends, but damn the whole comment section is talking bout his friends.
people watch shows in the mornings during breakfast, but I.. watch Alvin. You're the person that helped me get into cooking and baking in general.
The secret to not crying when your cutting onions is to not get emotionally attached.
Hate the stigma around crying when cutting onions. It's hard sometimes, it's ok to cry.
but real secret is to not cut bottom, root, till last moment of chopping, then you have minimum crying.
@@stevanzdravkovic835 I think you're close but I would argue the real secret is to cut them lengthwise, so pole-to-pole instead of across the equator. It causes less damage to the cell walls and the smell won't be as pungent.
@@johnnyasbest969 that too
@@stevanzdravkovic835 I have actually never cried while slicing onions. I will try to do it the wrong way and let you know what happens.
That explains how much he loves his friends 🥺
"I really hope my friends like burgers"
Me too. Finding all new friends is not easy.
Agreed.
Friends are useless anyway.
@@H.K.5 Over rated not useless. I know someone that uses friends like how sociopaths use people for benefits
@@thoticcusprime9309 Fair points. They're useless for me anyway, I have no use for them.

Why is it so good, it makes me wanting to eat every single burger
I forgot Alvin cuts the burger in half and categorically refuses to show the cross-section to the camera. Absolutely wild.
