Hey Man, I was a cook for the first 11 years of my young adult life. Dropped out of high school my senior year an attend CIA in Hyde Park, NY. Worked my way around Miami and eventually ended up leaving the trade. Every time I’m missing the “life” i turn on one of your videos and they always fill that void. I can only imagine the time it takes to do what you do and do the vlogs! Props to you chef, very underrated!
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. I truly wish you can find something that feels that void. Making these videos is something I actually enjoy more than cooking itself so it's a win-win for me. People like you are what make me love what I do even more. I'm truly grateful to be able to do this for you and everyone else.
it made me augh that they wanted you to be quiet but let the kids scream their lungs out...because that makes sense. I love watching you make all those yummy seafood recipes and I use them as inspiration for the week's menu.
@@carolineramage7480 no is a cultural thing. I heard the accent and know how people from my culture act around hired help vs their kids. Is them bossing around by making arbitrary rules for what they consider "the help".
@@SaintsandSushi what was the accent? I didn’t pick it up. SA? They're the employer, they can call the shots. It's the kids home, they're allowed to make noise. Different if the kids were playing in the kitchen, which I'm sure doesn't happen. The chef said he didn’t mind cooking at his place. Or maybe that was for the camera? Seemed genuine. The chef also said how quiet the house was without the kids around, but not really quiet in a good way. They let him do his RUclips in their house, which is very generous. The chef also gets to use quality ingredients in a beautiful kitchen with no full restaurant pressure.
@@carolineramage7480 "Calling shots", making irrelevant and arbitrary rules is not a part of employee and employer agreement. That is a personal choice to be toxic and inappropriate with hired staff to assert dominance. He was hired to cook which he does that's the expectation of their agreement. Cooking requires some element of noise so its to be expected if you want cooking to be done...on the other hand kids engaging in the inappropriate behavior of screaming their lungs out is a parent's choice to allow. Even the chef call the person talking to him a jerk for a reason....
Hello from SW France. I was a school nurse in a very busy high school when I lived in the US. I started wearing scrubs as I hated trying to get body fluids out of my nice clothes. They way I was treated after wearing scrubs was noticeable. Also-love seeing what you make!
That crispy rice looks amazing... Great idea! Of course they want you to be quiet and cook at home but they have screaming kids in the background... LOL
I love that they have the Breville smart oven air fry pro!!! best convention oven ever!!! Tip the top of it warms up so you can warm up your food plates before serving!!!
@@susanolsen7248yes I do!!! They are on sale right now also!!! They are amazing and do not heat up the house!!! And when you have left overs if you reheat them or airfry it taste like it was just made!!! The best investment ever!!!
I enjoy these videos, just to see a day in the life of rarer occupations. Like an MCU character, you need an origin story video. You know, short bio, education/training background, favorite foods/specialties, food philosophy, mutant abilities.
As I follow along the way you explain it. It sounds absolutely delicious watching you still can’t believe you lost 30 pounds but good for you if it’s for your health and also I was wondering because you had said your client was on a special diet with diabetes and so am I it’s always good watching your videos. Thank you for the time you put into them. 🎉❤
I read "Pirate Chef" instead of "Private Chef", so here I was for a moment thinking you were out on the high seas cooking in-between skirmishes for your band of scallywags 😂
Eric you need to try onion rice… fry onion till caramelized then add rice, salt and a little pepper cook rice as usual… yummy! You can also cook the rice same way but add a little tomato paste for flavour.
Oh nah man really, you did not look frumpy, stop it, go back to being you, that’s the you we all fell in love with! I know you lost all your videos and I was the lucky one who found you the week before and binge watched them all in a weekend, please don’t change, we’re all still here xxx
Quick suggestion (mainly to help me, I'm not sure): maybe when choosing produce or diff stuff at the store, could you tell us how to find the best of X item? Like the avocado. I suck at choosing a good one! Thanks!
thanks for the feedback. That's a great idea and I'll do what I can. I have 100 things coming at me plus I'm trying to do all my grocery shopping. But it's a great idea.
If we're going through Chef Eric's wardrobe can the heavy duty black Kevlar apron and the brown apron with the leather trim make an appearance. You look Michelin star in those! Super professional and very swanky.
Hey man, love your videos. About your videos being deleted, I think you should tweet about it to RUclips and maybe they can somehow bring them back. At least they seem to do so for the channels that get hacked.
If you like your blue chef coat, consider taking it to a tailor and see if they can take it in for you! No sense in getting rid of a high quality clothing piece that you like just because you're skinnier! ha
Don't eat all the delicious stuff like pizza, pasta and potatoes. Stop drinking and eating so much sugar. That's literally all I did. Oh, and I started working out
Somehow it felt Mango salsa on top wouldn't go well, on side should be good...overall, AWESOMEEE though first half felt like a silent movie 2nd half added your punch❤
I can see where you would think that, but it actually went really well with the spiciness. mango salsa is pretty common with spicy foods because it does go so well together. Give it a try, but as your Private Chef, I'd always be happy to put it on the side for you.
Somebody tell me which location is that whole foods ... Hmmm I can't put my finger on it ... Hmmmm Should be the one on West Charleston as sprouts is not too far from it on the west side but I could be WAY off
@@feleciad9171 that's what I thought at first myself just based on the parking lot but I do not thing they have those columns at the entrance.. again could be wrong
Was someone holding the camera for you while making dinner? When you were about to start, how was the video tracking you "if" no one was holding the camera? Everything there looked delicious! As a private chef, marketing yourself is always very important..!
0:58 YaAAyy!!!! on your weight lost, but as an novice seamstress, you can get your current one Altered. Have your local dry cleaner or whom ever- rip the steams and take off a inch or two. or better yet have them put some darts under the arm and at the waist. Just some internet 2 cents love your channel💖

30 lbs? That is seriously impressive. You look great, Eric 👍

Maybe the kids weren't going to be there? So they really wanted some quiet.

Looking to upgrade my airfryer- you recommend the Breville?
@@susanolsen7248yes I do!!! They are on sale right now also!!! They are amazing and do not heat up the house!!! And when you have left overs if you reheat them or airfry it taste like it was just made!!! The best investment ever!!!

Enjoying your content. Thanks!
Thanks Chef for another amazing dish ❤❤❤ those shrimp are almost as big as we get on the Gulf coast of Louisiana.
Those were actually Gulf Coast shrimp

Your seasonings look so good
Would love if you had a cookbook or recipe section
I love watching you grocery shop. What app are you using for a shopping list? The different categories for spices, produce, etc. look very helpful.
Oh nah man really, you did not look frumpy, stop it, go back to being you, that’s the you we all fell in love with! I know you lost all your videos and I was the lucky one who found you the week before and binge watched them all in a weekend, please don’t change, we’re all still here xxx
That cod looks delicious 😋

Of course, the local seamstress will do.
You look amazing!
I love your channel! Please keep'em comin'! =}

Love your videos…❤
I love naps ❤
Commenting and sharing 😉
Like the pro look😎 Congrats on the weight loss!💪🏻

Congrats on the weight loss. You can tell from your past videos. 😊
Thank you! It's crazy how fast I lose it!
can you do a step by step for that cod soba dish? i want to make that soon looks amazing!
That shrimp looks tasty.
I love the chef coat on you. I think you look more professional when you are working. P.S. the weight lost looks great on you
Do you bring your own cookware? And do you take the oils spices etc that you buy home with you ?
Looks Delish as always
They wanted you to prep at home because of the noise..haha those kids
Lookin Good!
Hey man, love your videos. About your videos being deleted, I think you should tweet about it to RUclips and maybe they can somehow bring them back. At least they seem to do so for the channels that get hacked.
Silverchair playing at Whole Foods 🤔
I can dig it.
Nice!
Please tell us how you do the crispy rice. I’ve tried it and just can’t get it right
Do you use a specific app for your grocery list?
If you like your blue chef coat, consider taking it to a tailor and see if they can take it in for you! No sense in getting rid of a high quality clothing piece that you like just because you're skinnier! ha
I keep seeing everyone make crispy rice that I need to try and make it
It's so good! Make sure you use sushi rice, let it sit overnight and make sure the tuna or salmon are good quality
Is there a specific kind of tuna you purchase? I would love to make a raw tuna dish like that at home but am nervous about it.
how do you keep your personal shopping list separate from your work one? and what app were you using?
What is the app you use for your shopping?
I like the blue coat. If it is in good condition, have it taken in.
How did you cook those beans man?? I need to know
What is the grocery app you are using?
what app do you use for the grocices i need that
good job on the weight loss! whats your tips and tricks/
Don't eat all the delicious stuff like pizza, pasta and potatoes. Stop drinking and eating so much sugar. That's literally all I did. Oh, and I started working out
Eat basically one meal a day. You can’t eat like these ppl do in the video. If you want to lose. I don’t know about maintaining it.
Would love to see some recipes on your channel so we could recreate it?

Was someone holding the camera for you while making dinner? When you were about to start, how was the video tracking you "if" no one was holding the camera?
Everything there looked delicious!
As a private chef, marketing yourself is always very important..!
I use the Osmo pocket 3. It has a tracking feature. Love it
@@CulinaryMisfits Lovin the vids so far. Keep up the great work!
BTW, what grocery list app are you using? I like the look of that one.
Thanks Chef!
How did you lose the weight?
It seems like you shop for each meal rather than for the week? Why is that?
Do you know of a Chef in the seattle area, I would love to know
Was that cod or sablefish?
Congrats on the weight loss
I want you as my chef, please but I live in Washington state
Make sure your friend's son doesn't delete this video 🤣
hahaha he's missing.... kidding...
What? No headly and Bennet? (sp) for you? And here I thought everyone was spending hundreds of dollars on a single apron!
No way! The brand means nothing. My aprons are pretty much the same if not better with no branding and only cost an eighth of the price.
You eat with perfection without sounding like a cow
anyone else pretend to eat that avocado bit he put up to the camera
Haha
HAHAHA! Hope it was good!
0:58 YaAAyy!!!! on your weight lost, but as an novice seamstress, you can get your current one Altered. Have your local dry cleaner or whom ever- rip the steams and take off a inch or two. or better yet have them put some darts under the arm and at the waist. Just some internet 2 cents
love your channel💖
Thanks! I'll look into it for sure
Lost 30 pounds? Congrats.
Thanks
Probably a 300 buck lunch
Wahhh, you changed yoru youtube profilee
