    I just found your channel a few days ago and have been binge watching your videos. I am amazed at how many of your clients hire you to cook normal everyday food. I would have thought they would want more extravagant food prepared by a professional chef. You do an amazing job with your cooks,really enjoy them. I live in the country in Wisconsin and have 8 different types of outdoor cooking vessels so I really enjoyed your video of you cooking at a clients outdoor kitchen with the pizza oven. Hope you get a chance to do more outdoor cooking/grilling/bbq/ smoking.

    I totally agree that food is subjective as I’m not a fan of seafood, animal organ foods or chicken feet, hooves, etc. I gravitate towards scratch food and Italian, Chinese, or Mexican are my favorite. Veggies, most salads and fruits are great too. I’m not a froufrou type of eater, simple great seasoned food is the best!

    You're right, the multiple line thing is weird. You need a couple people to get in different lines otherwise it takes a while to get a variety of tacos. It's like that in their other locations that I've been to.

    dude, just found you. watched you cook for a private party, your food style, feels like if I chose a different fork in the road, would love to do what you are doing. I've always enjoyed cooking for people, still do, but for family. I love when my oldest son says' WOW' when I make him something he really likes. Also, LOL, that was my way of wooing women back in my college days... couldn't sing or play an instrument, but damn I will cook you a great meal.
