Cooking King Salmon in the Whole Foods Parking Lot (They Caught Me)
In this episode, I attempt (and fail slightly) to cook a pan seared king salmon fillet on my tailgate in the parking lot of Whole Foods. I hit a few unexpected bumps in the road, including being approached by the Whole Foods security guard.
Grab a beer, grab a coffee, grab something nice to sip and enjoy!

A lot of people in the comments seem personally attacked and/or offended by this video. I will admit here as I did in the video; it wasn’t a wise idea to cook in a parking garage and I’ll accept the fact that it was a decision lacking thorough foresight. That being said, we all make mistakes. Hindsight is 20/20 and I never had any bad intentions. I apologize if my actions triggered you. Have a nice day!

Thanks to the Security Guard for not being a bully, like they are at Walmart! Also, Jonathan there are probably security cameras all around that you did not see. So, it may not have been someone that reported you, but rather they saw you on one of their cameras!
OMG…who camps/cooks in a parking garage??? Every camper knows even at Walmart parking lot you don’t break out your camping gear or lawn chairs! Simply amazing that you did this!
...some of those Karens probably just had the same concern you suddenly did about the fire alarm 🤷🤷

LOVE this! Lol, cooking in the parking garage...now the list of "do nots" will grow.
The salmon sounds like it was tasty. Residual heat cooked. Yep, not wise cooking in a garage… In this day and age, a lot of people opt to let security do the talking. Cause ya never know how that person will react… but the security guy was cool and handled it very well. Keep on doing you! 🛻

I do not know what possessed you to cook in the underground, carpark. Haa haaa!
similar thing happened in my town, but there was a slight gas leak in the car park that you couldnt smell and the gas tank ended up with the flames exploding. Guy ended up getting 3rd degree burns. Thats prob the only negative I would take away with cooking in an indoor car park, but yeah guess someone could have just spoken to you directly rather than complain.
I'd be pretty upset too if I was holding bags of groceries and a toddler in tow, and all the sudden fire alarm goes off and here comes the overhead sprinklers...oh, and my convertible had its top down...

@@jasonlee595 Fire sprinklers are set off by heat from a fire. If a sprinkler is activated, a water flow device will activate the alarm. If an alarm is activated by a pull station, a heat detector or a smoke detector (SD), the alarm goes off but the sprinklers do not. That's why you can have a false alarm because someone pulled an alarm station as a joke or sneaked a cigarette in a hospital bathroom and set off a SD. If Jonathan had a flare up big enough to set off a sprinkler, not only is he a bad cook but just that one sprinkler would be activated, not the whole parking garage. Still, not the best idea. :)

Bro Jonathan, I would say this is the best Salmon you've ever cooked and it looks great! Not over done or burned. It was perfect dude. Have been following your adventure for past 2 years... Love to see more of your adventure and cooking in the parking basement is one of them. Thank you for highlighting the Do's and Dont's of cooking in the parking garage. Lesson learned lesson earned.

I was thinking the same thing when you started cooking the fire alarm the sprinklers LOL great video
You are an outstanding cook! I swear you know how to make things that look so good and I'm sure taste delicious. As far as your hair, it looks good either way but I LOVE it short. God knows it's so much easier and cooler to deal with. Thank goodness the sprinklers weren't set off. You're a joy to watch.
Live and learn. You’re doing great!
but if you were in your slumber queen you wouldn’t have to go through all this. btw i think those people who reported you weren’t exactly wrong coz you can potentially cause a fire or something
Remember, California..fires.. lost property. They could've lost a home in a fire. Hyper sensitive
Jonathan, you are funny! This was an urban adventure that I’m sure we all enjoyed. Glad the smoke alarm didn’t go off. All’s well that ends well.
Awesome. New game. Cooking in sketchy places. Haven't seen this narrative before! Very cool.
Another great video Sir 👍🏼 Also, nice haircut, you were getting shaggy
That makes two of us, I swear that has to take at least ten degrees off when it is that short, love it, looks good on you too!!!

Come back up to Oregon this fall for some excellent fall Chinook (King) salmon fishing starting August 1st. Bays will be your best bet early, but when the fall rains come (hopefully), the salmon start heading upstream to spawn and you can catch really nice fish from the bank. The southern Oregon coast starting at Brookings all the way up to the Tillamook area has many fishable areas. You might consider going on a guided trip to guarranty a successful trip.
I died laughing when you said u almost had a panic attack😳 because off the alarms 🚨 sorry that was funny all’s well that end well have a good one thanks for sharing 🤘☮️❤️🔥🍀😜🤘🤟🦋

Normally I would say it's silly to be kicked out of a parking lot but this is a parking garage and you could possibly set off the fire system. I typed this before you mentioned it in the video.
LOL Smokin Salmon 😂
Good lookin salmon ( YUM 😋) 🍣 and a great haircut 👍🏼
They were probably worried the propane would blow up and kill someone.
I couldn’t hear the security guard completely, but I would have thought of it being in a parking garage with the open gas flame that was my main concern. At least the guard was cool and wasn’t a you know what. Lesson learned, but at least you got to eat your salmon while it was hot, lol
That was a cool security guard. Open fire in an underground structure is a bit risky, anywhere. The people who reported you probably didn't want to approach you since it could mean their own safety...I mean, who knows, right? Salmon looked delicious!
Skin on! Get the pan hot and cook the skin until crispy. Then turn the heat way down, flip the filet and cook the rest. A Japanese chef showed me that.
Liked your video 👍, you're brave and funny 😄
Cocoona track is a banger for your intro.. keep up w the door edits and soundtrack.
