What a beautiful memory that you'll be able to cherish forever. I think this has been my favorite video because I could feel just how much it meant to you. A wonderful tribute to your grandma at the end of her wonderful life. I only knew one of my grandparents and she passed when I was 7. I'm a sucker for these videos.

My own granny just passed this past January at 90 years old. She loved Judge Judy for the exact same reason, no amount of reruns could satiate her love of that particular show lol.

I love it took spending an entire episode talking about his Granny for Josh to quell the chaos a little... Now, I'm here for the chaos, but it's very sweet that talking about/impersonating Granny is what tempers it.

Omg, I never would have thought that Josh's impression of his grandma was that spot on

This is exactly how my Great Aunt's recipes are written. There is a lot of "enough cumin" or spices to taste

Your grandmother sounds like a wonderful woman Josh! And congrats to her on reaching triple digits!

this made me get so emotional about my grandma..she unfortunately has parkinson’s and is now in a nursing home..but what i didn’t realise is that there would eventually come a time when I would taste her dishes for the very last time💔 i’m so thankful she cooked for me all the traditional Greek-Cypriot dishes and opened my palette to all sorts of interesting ingredients, God bless grandmas👵🏽 edit: grandma passed away peacefully in her sleep, i’ll forever be thankful of the lovely dishes she cooker for me all those years

Before she passed, she told me I was an excellent cook as well. High praise from someone whose cooking was her love language. Cherish these moments, Josh. They are priceless. My love to you and Granny.

I am here for more Grandma Recipes. Not to mention KZread is a great way to preserve the stories and recipes of our elders. What a treat man. Thanks for sharing her with the MK viewers.

"Yeah. That's the chocolate prune beef with my, um, potato kugel." Really striking a confident tone, Josh! Love that Granny is wearing the apron.

This is great. Cherish her Josh. I lost one of my Grandmothers 25 years before I was born and the other when I was 4 or 5. I have two memories of my Grandma June, her pinching my cheeks and calling me lamby pie and the other is of her funeral. Spend as much time as you can with your Grandmother.

It is seriously hard not to have grandmas for myself and kids. My mom doesn't want anything to do with me. Grandmas are the best. Wish I didn't lose mine.

Aw, I love Josh's grandma! I thought it was Emily doing an impression at first and I realized I wasn't being fooled. What a lovely lady with amazing recipes. Good job, Josh!

My grandmother is 90 and had a near death scare recently. I was helping take care of her when she was released from the hospital and I made pancakes one morning. My grandmother, THE cook of the family, said they were the best pancakes she has ever had and couldn’t stop raving about them to everyone. It’s one of my proudest accomplishments.

Awe Josh, and the rest of the Mythical Kitchen, What a treat to have Josh's grandmother on as part of the show. She's such a gem. Thank you all for this. We ❤you Grandma!!!

This was so sweet! Making memories with her, learning from her and honoring her by passing on her knowledge is beautiful for both of you! She seems like a wonderful lady! 🥰 This definitely made me miss my own grandma, who passed just a few months ago. She was 98 1/2 and we spent a lot of time together! She also passed down her favorite recipes. I miss her tons, and I’m glad to see others, like Josh, appreciating the time they have with their grandparents! 🥰

As a South African, Josh is really nailing that ‘ah’ sound in “slice”! Great accent!

That last bit was so cute I miss my grandma now. She turned 90 back on April 30th and passed the next morning.

That was fun. The whole time I thought you were making a cartoonish interpretation of your grandma, then I heard her and no… that was really accurate!

Probably just modernizing some really old, traditional recipes instead of bothering granny to keep tasting them all the time. It'd be neat to see all of the Mythical Kitchen hosts come in with their generations old family cookbooks, wrapped up in cling-film to protect them from Josh's hectic antics, and try to do a modern take on some of their recipes.

I remember Josh used to be awkward and timid, now he is the exact opposite. Proud.

I would just like to point out how gracious and thoughtful it was that they didn't film granny. From a production standpoint, the show needed to go on and the pivot from video to audio was seamless and told the story just as effectively. Good job Mythical Kitchen!

My grandma passed away last September and in going through her things found books and books of handwritten family recipes! I can't wait to type them all up and give them to my family for Christmas.

I am a Roman Catholic Italian, who married an Ashkenazi Jewish man, when we married in 1989 he had his grandmother teach me all these recipes and I’m glad she did because now years later when he craves these dishes I can make them for him. His grandma passed in 2001 and I still love all the recipes.

She would probably still be making sour brauten & pot roasts! So glad Granny approved of the updated version. But next time.... remember the dried chicken soup mix!
