Really beautiful video, and I can’t imagine how long it took to script and Edit all that disparate footage. The vertical video really works here and the stitched together angles and ratios are the perfect choice for capturing the energy that I felt there when I stopped by. Congrats, Stephen. You should submit this video for a James Beard award next year. Seriously.

Heh, if you want to create an air of 'look at us, all busy with our social media branding and likes', yeah I guess incorporating vertical videos are the way to go. But thanks to both of you for all the quality content regardless ♥️

Awesome having you in Studio in our kitchen! It was great to have all these wonderful people collaborating, cooking, and sharing their skills and knowledge with everyone. We can't wait to have you all back soon!

I’m 40 years in the production business and I really want to give you kudos for the post here. Massive edit. Assembling random footage with your planned stuff and finding shots in other people’s shot to support your edit takes a ton of commitment and culling it from hours of footage…just awesome. Congrats on a massive edit, fun outcome and most of all GO GIANTS! 😊

Thank you Mike! You're not wrong, this was a literal nightmare to edit and to add to it, Final Cut pro was buggy, It went non responsive about 100 times while editing. But in the end, Im very happy with how it came out and was worth all the effort. GO GIANTS

@@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW I’d imagine it’s a similar effort for Kenji’s food science experiments, albeit not quite as nerdy in nature 🤓

I am 63 with 4 sons. i have spent almost 40 years cooking dinner every single day..i just wanted everybody fed. i did my 10 standard meals over and over and over again. then i found you. your easy to understand. no super weird ingredients . your moms meatloaf is now our #1. i thank you for helping me think and really succeed at making really wonderful new things..next is the 15 layer lasagna..looks to die for..thank you..hope you dont leave you tube

Dude, a fellow paesano here LOVES to cook and have been binge watching your vids. I don’t know what it was but watching this video I got emotional like, teary eyed emotional. Everything you said resonated with me especially about the joy you get when you watch others eat the food you prepare with LOVE. Keep ‘em coming. Alla prossima volta!

This is literally my favorite video you have have ever made. The way you put this together and narrated it makes the audience feel like you're right there with all of you! What a cool concept to all get together and cook for a day. Had to have been such a fun time! Thanks for sharing

For a severe fucked up guy (mental health) like me its really eye tearing beautiful to see you smiling andd laughing like that, sharing what you do best. This is so perfect, much love from the bottom of my heart to everyone who reads this

Kenji is one of the cooking instructor / cookbook author GOATs, and it was insane to see stephen teaching him. Stephen is going to end up being one of the youtube chef GOATs the way his trajectory is going.

Seeing talented chefs/creators together with a shared passion for food was fun. Everyone collaborating, laughing, and creating extraordinary dishes was a heartening experience. The way people came together to contribute their unique skills and passion created a cool viewing experience, and the audience is lucky you shared this with us.

Brother, I followed all you guys along the journey on IG, watching with wonder, joy and straight jealousy... Looked like a hell of a weekend! Love this video too!

It's weird I don't normally get inspired by things like this, but the way you described focusing on things alone but still be proactive among others was really inspiring and actually pretty helpful. Please make more videos :)

Sounds like you're starting to figure things out. That's awesome. Your passion is why we all tune in.

I'm just a simple home cook who loves to make others happy with my food. I watched this after DH and I shared his amazing barbecued chicken with good friends last night. Just a simple Sunday dinner - no fancy; no fluff; no falderal. Just a typical Summer Sunday dinner. It could not have been more lovely.

Chefsteps are fantastic. I have been a member on their website for close to a decade. For those who don't know, it's people that worked on "Modernist Cuisine" doing a hybrid homestyle and modernist approach to cooking. Fantastic stuff.

We were just in Seattle and thought the Chef Steps location had so much potential, but it was empty during our visit. It makes me so happy to see so many people using the space to share their food. ❤ What an incredible experience.

Your eagerness to learn, and the way you weaved together the narrative of how you learned so much, and were able to impart your own knowledge towards others, truly showcases the passion and dedication you have for your craft. It's evident that you not only cook with your hands but also with your heart. Your humility and genuine self are refreshing. Remember, it's okay to feel burnt out sometimes; it's a testament to how much you care about things. Please take your time - recharge, and know that us viewers are always here to cheer you on. We've learned so much from you, and we're excited for all the culinary journeys you'll take us on in the future. Keep shining and keep cooking!

Brother! thank you so much

That was so heartwarming to watch, I felt the joy and fun everyone had both cooking, feeding, and sharing with each other. That's why I love cooking for others when I can! Watched your videos for a long time, and while I love your weekly cooking videos, this one put a smile on my face and I'd LOVE to see more events and content like this 🥰

Love seeing you hanging out, having fun, and really reinvigorated about cooking. I enjoy your usual style of videos, but this one was great to see, as well. Glad you had a blast.

The joy and inspiration you felt really comes through in the video! Such a joy to watch, thank you for your hard work!

I’ve enjoyed your show for so long… I am very happy for you to feel rejuvenated. You’re the best! I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you now. 👍

I love these long form story driven videos as much as I love the short cooking videos. This honestly looks like something you guys should do annually if everybody could fit it in their schedules.

This was by far my favorite episode of yours, which is not in any way a criticism of any others at all. You were right, you NEEDED that involvement with others and the camaraderie to break the chains that form within our minds. I've not seen you look so happy before, and you've now personally met and interacted with many others whom you've just met or have enjoyed their content. I am very much looking forward to the effects that this experience will have in your future videos as you learn how to integrate it. May the joy that you felt there stay close by you and warm your heart each day.

Absolutely beautiful! Great seeing so many of the people I follow on KZread together having fun! Love it!

PastaPapi in full effect. It was great. Thanks for being a grandma.

So many moments of pure joy in this. This is why I love cooking and binge watch so much food content. Love it.

This was so much fun to watch so I know it was way better to be a part of! Thanks for sharing this excitement and energy with us all! I loved every single minuet of it!

I like these videos way better than your usual stuff, which I already like, it's way more real and personal. I can feel your passion, which someone either has or doesn't have - you can't really attain or fake that.

I enjoy and learn from all of your shows but, this was by far the most smiles I have ever had watching you! Cooking with friends is da bomb!

This video was amazing for so many reasons. As someone who is also a creative, I felt and feel the same way as you did / do now… it’s amazing to feed off of energy and others inspiring you. You fed your soul in this video.

Genuinely loved this whole thing. The sharing of food and your version of it with people is so purely human and honest. Feeding those you care about and seeing them enjoy the thing you love the most is so fulfilling.

This was a great video! ❤ From the editing, narration, and the story arc… The joy you felt from this community of chefs and creators was palpable.

Awesome that you shared this experience! I love collabs and this was next level. Your Italian food is incredible but hey, branching out is fun! Proud to continue to support you In Patreon.

This is probably my favorite KZread video, all my favorite food creators in one video

Honestly I loved this video. Not too long at all. One of the best I’ve ever watched on this channel!

Such a joy getting to finally meet in person man! Appreciate you feeding everyone and coming out 🙌🔥

Wow literally brought tears to my eyes. So great seeing you inspired.

didn't expect to watch the whole video but I did and loved it!!!

Excellent storytelling. Fun characters sharing techniques, talents and good food. I hope you do more of this.

Definitely one of the best videos you've ever made. The joy in this video is amazing. It's always what I want to feel and every time I step in my kitchen.

This is amazing! Absolutely my favorite video you've done. I love your asides, "This is called 'foreshadowing.'" LOL. It's incredibly edited, you really achieved the sense of community, the love, the laughter and the vibe of that whole event. I must admit, I even got choked up a couple of times. I would 100% watch every moment of a series like this. Great work and I'm so glad you're reinvigorated!

Dude, your super-long-form videos are always some of your best work. This captured so much communal energy, that it was impossible to not feel the vibes from the start of the vid, to the end. Truly enjoyed watching this. Can't wait to watch it again. Also, you and Daniel seriously need to collaborate soon. The chemistry is there for sure.

Dude. More of this please. I love all your stuff but this is by far the best video you’ve put out. Seeing you just fuckin around and enjoying doing what you do and sharing it with others was so much fun.

Wow wow wow! Loved seeing all the chefs and cooks feeding off of all creativity in the kitchens. One of the best cooking vids I've seen in a long while! Grazie!

This is just the "pick-me-up" I needed tonight! What an absolutely perfect weekend. Thank You for letting us be a part of the excitement. 😃

One of your best videos ever. Maybe your best. Love this.

I loved this video!!! I loved the horizontal and mix of vertical shots too!!! SUPER INSPIRING. It was so fun watching you all have fun!

I really really enjoyed this video. So much comradery joy laughs😂 love and respect. You guys are the best👍🏾

Loved this - absolute delight to watch - all the food looked fab 😊

It's nice to see you step out of your comfort zone! Proud of you Stephen! More content like this in the future would be awesome. :)

Dude we love this type of content! It’s so real heartwarming and refreshing

This was awesome, warms my heart to see you having so much fun.

Looked like a great amount of fun! Thanks for sharing!

Love you commentary and context. Its beautiful to see alot of my youtubers together cooking ❤❤

You should do more videos like this. Your 368 videos are my favorites and this was so much fun to watch! Love all your content but this was extra special to watch.

Absolutely love this video and the creative energy flowing throughout!

Sure wish I could have been there! All of my favorites chefs together 😮! A dream come true…. Glad you enjoyed and got what you needed. Take care

What a dope video! I saw the moment your fun, love for cooking, making great food, and celebration side came out! 🎉 I love this!

Real, raw, amazing !!! The editing and production are fantastic thank you Stephen!! Loved every moment

Love this video. So much enthusiasm and creative energy, looks like such a fun time. Glad it gave you the recharge you needed. Looking forward to more great content😄

You are just about the only food youtuber I am following (not to take anything away from all these lovely people in the video, but a day only has so many hours) and it was amazing seeing you just relax and funk around with friends & newfound family. If you're making more of this, I am definitely here for it. I have some folks invited over for dinner tomorrow, told them I am gonna make onion soup (which I have never done before) and I am very excited to spend a night in good company and prepare some food for my friends. So I am with you all the way!

Your cooking channel has been my favorite thing in the 22 years of consuming cooking content. Seeing you authentic and having legit fun cooking is what it's all about. Your regular videos you feel your passion and your love for what your doing, in this video it was the moments we create with others and the joy on your face. Thanks for the upload!

Literally your best video ever. You have life summed up well.

All I can say after watching this video is that I am happy to have found your channel back when I was simply looking for a random recipe to cook (your pasta salad). Inspiring video with a lot of infecting energy.

Stephen, I've been following your channel for a couple of years and first time commenting. This was an absolute joy to watch and I don't think I've ever seen you smile so widely and so often. I'm a singer/songwriter here in AZ and also am a Licensed Massage Therapist in private practice. My lead therapist Kelsey and I spend so much time in isolation with our clients, as do I with my music. It's required for artists to spend vast amounts of time alone, and it's something I'm quite comfortable with, as are you by your remarks. When we get out and around our tribe of therapists and bodyworkers, it's just a wonderful communal experience and a reminder we need that connection much more frequently than we realize. You reminded me of that and it was a joy to see you mixing it up with other passionate food artists and creators. I'm delighted you got that shot in the arm and rejuvenated your passion for cooking and creating content. Your channel is just awesome, and Kelsey is a avid photographer and loves your creative editing. She trains and films her two dogs and your videos have served as an inspiration for her. Thanks so much again for your fantastic content and infectious energy. And for the awesome and scrumptious food! I've made the fish n' chips several times for my roommate, and she said that tartar sauce is the best she's ever tasted. Bravo, dude!

I LOVE this, more please!

Ps!!? The comedic timing and presence to call out that joke!!! And make it a laugh , make it funny.. because it is.. outstanding 👌🏽

I found this to be so, so cool! Your passion for this was infectious, and pulled me in! Awesome stuff! Thank you for sharing!

Great show! Darn! I would’ve loved to have been there! So much good food in Seattle… I hope you got to enjoy it!

This is absolutely wonderful!

absolutely loved this video! The story is sometimes more impactful than anything else that could have come from something like this!

That was one of you best videos, thank you for sharing.

So cool, didn’t want this video to end. Great job 👏

I needed this substantially, not only did it give me a lot of reference points and creators to check out but it also. Confirmed a feeling I have been having myself with your speech at the end. I have too been feeling burnt out and trapped in a way.

This looks like heaven, what an experience. Thank you for sharing!

Seriously enjoyed this video. Quite inspirational, welcome back!

It was already cool to follow all of these people/their accounts throughout the years. It was even cooler to see the crossover live during the week when all of you posted on IG and seeing you all knew each other. This video really added more depth to that. Thanks for sharing! "WOOOO!"

This is brilliant. Passionate people sharing their knowledge and having fun. I loved watching it. I loved the video style. It was super inspiring. Well done. And yes I would love to see more stuff like this!

This was one of the best times I’ve had in a while. Great work dude.

Incredibly heartwarming, thanks for this

Loved this from beginning to end. Great job!

Fantastic video! So many of us locked ourselves away during the C crisis we almost need to learn the importance of being with others again. To learn, to laugh and to really enjoy life. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos and learn so much, but this is my favorite so far.

Your overall energy in this video is readily apparent. I watch, or have watched, most of your videos. It seems that you got out of your headspace and were reinvigorated, you should try to do something like this every 4 months or so (although I wouldn't mind one of these a month or two). Thanks for all the great videos and keep up the amazing work. I truly appreciate them.

Awesome to see all of you guys doing what you love together! The best part of food is sharing it with loved ones. Incredible video!

This is phenomenal. Truly showcases your passion. Great content, great edit. KZread gold. 😊

Aww man, this is wonderful!

I am LOVING this content. Thank you for this!

Can't express how much I enjoyed that video. Feeding people feeds my soul and when they love what I make..I understand you more than you know. Thank you thank you

Thanks for this. Much love.

Beautiful video, Stephen! Hoping that you do another pop-up in NYC, was great to meet you last time - you really make such great food and pour so much heart into it. Much love

Humans have become more isolated than ever, so it’s beautiful to see that you were able to find your community. I had the same feeling watching this as I had watching the Bon Appetit crew back in the day. I wish this was a regular thing for you! What a lovely video♥️

That was a great watch - awesome chemistry between you all, chefs and creators alike. What a great few days 👍

Amazing and inspiring. Keep this experience on rewind and it can only get better. Thanks

Lovely lovely video and I'm so happy to hear the experience reinvigorated your drive to cook! Nothing worse than being burned out on our passions!
