2 Restaurants, 5 Cookbooks, 2 House, Kids all grown up and well settled, Wife still beside him as a rock, super successful UA-cam channel with lots of sponsors and he still gets to eat what he makes. Sam is the Goat 👍👍👍👍
Sam never claims to be a starred Michelin chef he is just an entertaining guy who enjoys good food and shows how easy it can be to pull off amazing food experiences with easy to obtain ingredients and skills.
But then there’s his riff on Beef Wellington with a tomahawk ribeye! That is my all-time favorite episode. Instead of decorating the pastry with leaves and shit, he carved EAT ME into the dough. It doesn’t get better than that.
Sam, you’re talking about what I learned early in life, when I learned piano, clarinet, flute, baking, cooking and typing: practice makes everything better. It’s not as much fun when you’re trying to be perfect; I’ll never be perfect, but I’ll be better and I’ll be happy. (I make really good schmaltz, too!) I loved when you shut those two chitchating chicks to stay quiet for a minute and they fumed. It was obvious that they couldn’t handle you or probably anyone else who tried to take charge of THEIR OWN SEGMENT. Eff them and everyone like them. Howard Stern did all of us a favor when he lauded that appearance.
Grew up watching him on his "Sam The Cooking Guy" tv show in SD, watch his YT channel every week. Just goes to show that you don't need years of prestigious culinary training to be a great chef.
He looks like he could be in those crazy family issues movies but in a comedy way. But i'm in he's shoes where i'm stuck and just had no goals but i do have a passion and useally passion and having that passion has a job is 2 different things is what i learned growing up and struggling to land that perfect job that motivates me to grow every day. And also i just started watching this guys cooking channel and my gosh he makes some amazing things without even going to cooking class.
Very inspiring! I always felt we look at cooking the same way. I love to cook. My life at age 50 is now needing a life kick in the ass. Would love to meet you someday! Canada is closer I live in MN 😂
Sam, coconut jerk chicken is over the top good!...May want to remind viewers to avoid contact with nose and nether regions after chopping habeneros...did a divine dance after chopping them.
Sometimes people are just gifted like that or learned that not everything you want to do for passion doesn't involved going to school i know i've experienced that and look at me i landed a job at a bank and its really cool but i don't tell my co workers that i kinda of cheated because i know how to cheat the system.
I went to culinary school, but I also realized that many of the techniques I “learned”, I had been doing for decades. Like my parents, I’m a natural cook. Many cooks/chefs are like that.
@@mysticstrikeforce5957 Sam is a good home cook. But, he lacks a lot when it comes to technique, especially when it comes to building depth of flavor. He does things home cooks do that would get a cook in a good restaurant fired. His appeal is his great personality and the fact that he's completely relatable.
@@akasgsvirgil9503 not doubting you. but can you give us examples of what you mean? What does he do that would get someone fired? I know he does things for show and entertainment.
NO, he’s been doing local San Diego cooking videos for years before his current businesses, pretty much the same guy as then! He produced them out of his own kitchen for local TV!
I "think" the word you were looking for, is "neurotic." Necrotic, means dead flesh. www.woundsource.com/blog/necrotic-wounds-overview-and-treatment-options steve
Interesting Sam. You have to know that the majority of folks have the same feeling about their work. The pay and job is so valuable these days that switching jobs is a huge risk especially when you consider the loses in benefits and seniority going from one job to another, they remain at their "job". Unless its the same field of work, you can't really negotiate those into your compensation. Oh boy, knowing the Today Show lied and cheated you as a plan simply tells us some things don't change and for that little amount of money. I guess it was worth it, you got some exposure in exchange for no pay.
I try to do the same style of cooking as Sam on my channel. Very easy and basic ingredients that everyone can cook but i also show the harvesting of the animal in some. I can honestly say that i know where my food comes from.
This guy is pure PR gold. He's the guy you want promoting your restaurant and talking to your guests. But, if it were up to me, I wouldn't let this guy within 50 feet of a professional kitchen. He's a good home cook and that's about where it ends.
he has his own restaurant tho (not sure if it survived corona) but not all restaurants are 5 star. a gastropub or a diner is still a restaurant. and thats the kind of food he makes 3/4 star
@@Johnywang1 Some of the best cooks I have ever known worked in diners and pubs. But, they all had one thing in common: They knew and understood proper cooking techniques. Those that didn't know, who were usually young and/or new, were trained by the more experienced cooks. Sam doesn't have that and yet, he's creating video content that's teaching people how to cook and make various recipes. In one particular video, Sam almost spilled a boiling pot of oil on himself precisely because he lacks proper training.
That's kind of the point of his videos - "I have no professional training, but I eat well every day. You don't have to be a pro cook to eat well at home, either."
@@JDBoelter No. However, the fundamentals of food and kitchen safety or the benefits of proper technique don't cease to matter just because you're in a home kitchen. If you're on a social media site creating content that features food you make and especially, you preparing it, you are essentially holding yourself out as a subject matter expert. Otherwise, what's the point? What if you wanted to learn how to play an instrument and the teacher you chose to learn from talked a great game, but didn't know very many chords or scales and could barely play them? Most of Sammy's videos contain the word "best" or the phrase "the best ever" or Ultimate" etc. Even the title of his channel, "Sam the Cooking Guy" implies a measure of expertise. But, he lacks expertise and I know this because I am a retired professional Chef with decades of experience. I have always said that if Sammy took a couple of weeks and learned some simple technique, not only would his credibility dramatically improve, but moreover, his final product would improve as well. Furthermore, he would be sharing that quality knowledge with his viewers rather than teaching bad habits and poor technique. Sammy's is an active member of his community and is actively working to help the restaurant community in his area by using his celebrity status in a positive way to oppose Newsome's stupid restaurant restrictions. in that regard, the restaurant industry as a whole needs all the "Sammie's" it can get right now. That respect he deserves because he's earned it. Cheers! :-)
Sam, I’ve spent my career in an industry demonized by politics. I know your industry ISN’T being demonized, but the steady slow process I’ve seen in oil and gas is not that unlike the heavy handed process you’ve seen. Facts DON’T matter and if you’re in the way of the agenda, it doesn’t matter. The bureaucrats negotiate decisions in a vacuum. The empathy is lip service. I guess the difference is the hammer will come off your industry and memories are short. Watch FrackNation an old politically incorrect rebuttal to see the BS and decide for yourself which side of the argument seems incorrect.
I like Sam alot and what he does and talks about when he's genuine, like in this video and some others, but over time, in my view, in his new videos he comes across as very self centered and spoiled by his successes (again, maybe he's not, but comes across that way). I like the former Sam more which I'm sure is still there but has been dilluted with the new more Hollywood Sam. I do wish him continued success, but it's not what I like to watch, no matter how good his cooking is.
0:35 That is not how you use the word "literally". You meant to say "actually" or "virtually" because we are going to take your words for face value. You aren't speaking figuratively, with metaphors, nor idioms when it is most appropriate to use the word "literally" to completely change the meaning.
@@rvvrn I didn't put pull my pants down and poop on his video, that would be a literal meaning behind your phrase. So the word you need to use is "figuratively" shit all over his video. I have nothing against the man speaking to be sure. His speech was good, language not so much in that small instance.
@@midoribishithegamer Yeah his speech is good. Definitely good. However if something is wrong, then his speech can't compensate for it. That is why the number 99.9% exists, it is very close to 100%, but rounding up is inaccurate. And if we continually ingnore those mistakes and accept wrong things as right, well then I don't know where you draw the line. Literal and figurative are opposites of each other, it is a pretty easy binary choice to pick the right one. Like yes and no. Black and white. If people fail that badly, then why are you defending it?
I love how Sam speaks bluntly but professional to his audience. Sam is a great motivator, I love the videos and his recipes.
You’re right. Sam would’ve been a great motivational speaker, only much more accessible and less intimidating than that Tony what’s his name.
Sam always enjoys the moment with gusto and seemingly does not look back. His cooking channel is great.
Thanks, Google. Great to hear Sam's story. He's one of UA-cam's best.
honestly i respect this guy so much more. i didnt know he started cooking after 40. insane
Yeah so inspiring
I don't recognize Sam without a huge roll of Bounty
aaaand look at where hes at now. This guy is awesome

Love STCG. One of the first cooking channels I ever followed on UA-cam and still my favorite
I downloaded his entire youtube channel to the tune of 260 gigs. Worth it.
Love this guys personality. His journey is inspiring.
I just so much love him
This guy is amazing, I first heard of him on the Stern show and started watching his recipes.
Very inspiring Thankyou for sharing your story💕 we share a similar mind and passion for cooking 😇

Same! I was a kid back then. Glad I found his YT channel.

Dude. You're AWESOME!. FYI... We have a keg in our office like apparently GOOGLE does and I also pee sitting down. Keep up the great work!

I started watching Sam, at about 100 thousand subs.
He is pretty F-ing good!

Many more please Sam
Sam and Adam Savage are my two favorites
This is great 👍🏽
Man those tilted camera angles and constant zooms in the videos are such late 90s/early 2000 mtv vibes
That soul patch too!
Damn, I always assumed he started out as a scientist or something and used his earnings to start Not Not Tacos, then branched out to cooking videos.
NO, he’s been doing local San Diego cooking videos for years before his current businesses, pretty much the same guy as then! He produced them out of his own kitchen for local TV!
Awesome journey!
Awesomeness shut down the today show of cackling hyenas!
Wait the cooking guy isn't his last name.
Super interesting!
The intriguing thing about Sam is his genuine personality. Slightly necrotic but he knows he it.

Necrotic, means dead flesh.

also
omg, look at his leg!
So for a few months he was Sam The Delivery Guy 🤔
Lol this needs more attention haha
Sam reminds me of Jimmy McGill from "BETTER CALL SAUL" for some reason...same kind of street smart, maybe?
