I love the "I have a life and a wife" approach to your recipes. It's practical; i love it
Definitely- one of the reasons I think his channel did so well-his “recipes” aren’t refined or even the most properly done, but they are realistic for the typical person who needs to put a meal together at home.
Yep. There’s a HUGE value in being able to know when to say “stop here. There is more if you spent more time, but it’s not worth the return on investment anymore.”
Adam’s recipes totally get that.
Adam plays to both sides. He is either making his own Demi glacé and hanging while chickens in his oven, or on the other hand just look at his minestrone “recipe”
I lived there for a few years in the 60’s and 70’s it was the Mojave Desert of food ingredients. And because the inhabitants were subsistence farmers there was not a lot if restaurants besides breakfast venues. It’s gotten better but with online ordering in now makes things easier there.
@@drifter1dc did you go to the worlds fair and the Sun Sphere?
The fact that this 30+ minutes video has hand-written subtitles is extremely appreciated !!!
Absolutely! His other videos have actual scripts so it's easy for him to add subs (he's mentioned that before), but the q&a it has to be all typed. I believe his assistant does it though! Still very thoughtful.
RUclips auto generates pretty accurate subtitles, you can redact said subtitles quit easily within the RUclips creator studio.
@@supergewoon they are semi accurate, though nowhere this quality, with name labels. I agree it can be used as a starting point though.
Subtitles are awesome for accessibility. I have mad respects for creators who provide them
@@TechnoSparks from the very start he always made custom captions. you get youtubers who have loads of subscribers and an entire team helping them make videos (managing, editing ect) and yet they do not have custom captions??? this guy does pretty much everything by himself which is why i love his informative videos

I love how he answered the tennessee question so defensively as if his audience was going "ewww tennessee voted for trump, they're racist, they're poor, they don't even recycle bro, why would you ever move there?!"
Like, when even liberal former journalists like Adam isn't safe from the dumb outrage mob, you know something's wrong lol
Thek you so much, it was much easier to find the question I want quickly
@@hidarling641 let's just pray he stays safe from the trumpist capitol raiders / government topplers while he's there! :)
@@hidarling641 I swear if I see one more political comment in something that does not need to be political imma scream
@@leotheking1000 I'm pretty sure most of them are in prison for, you know, violently invading the capitol. Most people, even the dumbest of republicans realize that directly attacking the feds is a really stupid idea. lol
What a lot of "how-to" youtubers forget is that there is rewind option readily available for a viewer who did not catch some instruction the first time around, so they pace the video like its a TV show. Brisk tempo and straight-to-the-pointness of yours videos is much appreciated!
This!
No. When cooking, messy hands and doing many things means you don’t want to have to touch your phone. I’d much rather have a long form that I can follow along with
@@iankunesky6740 Watch the thing before and go on with cooking afterwards, and just maybe check the video when you forget something. It's what I do
Someone clearly asked the website question to give Adam a good ad segue and I find that hilarious
It was very convenient. I totally *did* need a website for my beard.
I wonder if people also asked questions about warby parker and mattresses just to cover their bases
@@MrWalksindarkness I’m sure they did. Everyone wanted to have a chance at being picked - but if gamble and going with website over glasses paid off
I make your bolognese sauce all the time and nearly every single person I've ever served it to has said that it is the single best bolognese they've ever had (and it's so easy to make!). Thank you for that!
Samesies. Nice and thick, not soupy. Get it hot, dump a ladleful of pasta water in there and finish the last 2-3 minutes of pasta cooking in there. Boom, delicious.
I haven't made Adam's bolognese specifically, but I have watched it so many times that I use a lot of his techniques. My gf told me that it was better than her mum's bolognese. Safe to say that if I want to stay in her good books that will stay between my girlfriend and myself aha.
Chicken liver included ? I made his recipe a couple of times but never got my hand on some chicken liver. It's still very good without. I used to do it without carrots, balsamic vinegar and white wine, and it wasn't as good !
@@beelzebuth2479 I did it with the chicken livers once and honestly I didn't see much of a difference, so I stopped adding it.
I’d love a collaboration with #tastinghistory - with Max focusing more on the history bits and Adam on the food science/chemistry, that’d be fun 😊
+
Also, Max making the original historical recipe and Adam making an updated recipe.
YEEEEEEEEESSSSS
Yeeeeeeeeeeeessssss
Make it happen, Adam.
All the best in your new place.
This British subscriber is only passingly aware of what E. Tennessee is like, but an image search indicates really beautiful mountains and good-sized homes with trees. It looks rather nice: hope you're all happy.
Yeah nice scenery but probably most importantly, it's the south so your dollar goes a lot further in terms of housing. It's crazy how much more affordable it is to live in southeast America compared to the mid/north Atlantic coast.
@@poconofriend777 yea its real nice if ur a middle class white family but for everyone else or at least myself i dont wanna speak for others but i dont like the south that much and ive lived in various parts of the south for like 6 years of my life and it just did not rly make me happy to be there. much happier in california lmfaooooooo
@@kg7219 Many people agree with you on that, but states like California have had population exoduses up to 300k a year in recent times, while southern states like Florida and Texas have gained a large amount of population. I personally have lived in the northeast and the south and what most people fail to understand is the cultural difference between the south and north. But anyways, actions speak louder than my comment
@@kg7219 lol. California is the pen ultimate trash state. Just hot garbage. Like a burning landfill.
@@kg7219 California is the toilet of America.
Also, you're saying black people can't be middle class? Pretty racist of you to bring race into something like this.
As a lifelong Tennessean myself, I too would ask in a slightly condescending but also curious tone: "Why Tennessee?" I'm only here because for most of my life I couldn't leave it for financial reasons--and now that I am able to live wherever I want, ironically, I have too many attachments to some people here that I can't bring myself to leave them. But I suppose that makes our reasons for being here somewhat the same, then.
I was born and raised in East Tennessee and I’ve lived out of it for 6 years or so for college and travel. All my wife and I want to do I find a way to move back (she’s not from TN). It’s so green, the people are kind, there’s tons to do, you’re never 5 mins away from a good hike, no income tax, never far from a river, awesome heritage. I think there’s so much to love about it.
According to the location tag, he is in Knoxville, which is the one city in TN that I would consider moving. Similarly, I live in Huntsville, AL, which is the only city in AL that I would ever live in. The south has a few nice cities to live in, but not many.
@@poochyenarulez There are a lot more than you'd think, tbh. Many places I've been here I would not mind living in. Mostly just small places not many people have heard of. Of the big big cities, what you said was totally true, though. Like Memphis is well known but a horrible place to live.
People who are born a place and never leave often resent it or have a negative view of it not unlike you.
@@chickenfishhybrid44 yes, i agree and i think theyre often kind of right and kind of wrong to feel that way. im from a midsized city in the midwest and i moved to europe for college partly bc i thought i hated my city and region and stuff. now that i've lived in germany for a few years, i hate that city even more in some ways than i even had the context to, but i've also grown an appreciation for other elements of it that i also never would have had the context to. that said, ive still rlly only lived in two places for long, im sure there are things i still don't understand that are nice and bad about both of these places.
If 'Ask Adam #10' isn't just every question asking for facial hair grooming techniques then I will be very disappointed.

As someone living in an arguably collapsing mid-Michigan manufacturing town, I agree that the world is full of places to live. We don't have the fastest internet, we don't have 25 kinds of cuisine right on one road, and world famous stuff isn't all from the same metropolitan area. But rush hour is literally an hour, you don't wait more than an hour for any but the newest 2 restaurants in town, public events *always* have somebody you recognize.
There's much to love about smaller towns, and you don't have to be in the absolutely sticks to have lower property prices and bigger parcels to live on.
I'm going to guess Saginaw?
@@tomrogue13 Nah, think South-Central
I love that you can "mis-pronounce words that you have only read!" Thanks Lauren!
DACOR is pronounced “day-core”
Tennessee is ideal for independent content creators. No state income tax. Fast internet. Reasonably priced homes growing in value
but then they turn aeound and tax the food you buy :(
But this guy is gonna come in and vote for a state income tax lmao he’s a clown
The REAL question is: What is your favorite spice rub for your cutting board?
@@berko2076 no thank you you silly little bot
"what did you learn from vitamingate"
I love the fact that you show your wife respect and affection, and she returns you the same. I'm sure your marriage isn't wonderful every moment of every day, but it is nice to see two people be genuine and nice to each other. I've been married to my sweet wife for over 23 years, and I sill love to make her laugh. I like to think I show her the respect she's due as a human being. I don't know what I'm talking about. I guess I just enjoyed getting a glimpse into what appears to be a healthy marriage. Good for you guys.
Moving from NY to TN, almost 17 years ago, was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. And I've had people from back home ask the exact same question, with similar emphasis. Funny how those who visit, especially East TN, go home with very different opinions.
I spend more Tennessee than I care to, as a truck driver. Yes, it’s pretty. Driving through the hills/mountains in a loaded truck is less than fun. The people there remind me WAY too much of Texans. (I live in Texas, as a former Michigander and former Californian, and not a fan of Texas, either)
I get the same question and tone when they learn I moved from California to North Carolina. Also best decision of my life!
@Aamer Kastoff This was an extremely southern response and I very much enjoyed it.
Speaking as someone in Kansas City who has considered moves to Fargo and other smallish places, I wholeheartedly agree: we need to have more than like five cities people move to. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to spend some time living in NYC, but also there's no way I could possibly afford that.
For me it's not because of affording it, more like tolerating the city haha.
I’d rather all these people stick to the same 5 cities.
@@jacksonballa13 Sorry, bud. As much as you would like your little town to stay little-there are 8 billion people in this world. They all have to live somewhere.
@@moreofawave right. Like New York.
You got to start the big cities like NYC young, or you will never fit in there. Nothing wrong with living your entire life in Kansas City though.
When I moved from NYC to Raleigh, people asked me in the same condescending way "why north carolina," and it was the same reasons for me. Cheaper, I found work there, and it's closer to all of my family.
Born and Raised in Fay, NC. Enjoy your time here. I recently moved down to SC for work. Miss my home state everyday.
If you're ever in Fay go check out "The Coffee Scene", and also in Raleigh you gotta go downtown and get the good food spread in the city proper. Red Hat Amphitheater be damned!
I’ve lived near the GA/FL border, the GA/SC border, near Charlotte and in Raleigh, and in upstate NY and I definitely prefer NC.
I live in South Florida, and man, the COL here is terrible. Even when splitting rent with my gf, an entire paycheck goes to rent and utilities alone. The other paycheck goes to food, student loans, and other things. Whatever is left is saved but it really isn't all that much.
Then we went on a trip to Kentucky and man, everything was so much cheaper. Food, entertainment, transportation, etc. My income that I make at home is pretty much what a dual income family makes on average in that state, so my gf and I lived a pretty good week during that trip without really hurting the bank. Now I will personally never move there due to certain social issues my gf and I experienced (we're Hispanic and boy did random people make that apparent on our behalf) but at times it makes me wonder "What if..."
@@tynj4173 Let's not sully this channel with politics = ) And I'm from coast of NC. Morehead City area. My son is in college in Raleigh.
Using that logic Venezuela is "Cheaper" than North Carolina.
As someone who has lived in Middle Tennessee for over 30 years, WELCOME!!! I've heard great things about living up east in Knoxville but I've only ever visited.
As someone who works in Tech, and has a tendency to idle at around 60 hrs a week:
My work schedule is unhealthy, it should not be aspirational, and it definitely shouldn't be used to shame anyone who manages to avoid it.
Even 40 hrs a week is pushing it for some jobs, tbh 🤷
40 hours i think is the max horus pare weak a human should work. Research show that hunter gathers can ate MAX work 40 a weak whit out ruining their inverioment and leaving there village unprotected. Thats the max so the avrge should be around high 20 low 30s.
Diligence and hard work should be praised, but there's a healthy medium. Sure, don't work yourself to death, but also don't sit on the couch in your underwear for 3 days either.
I live/work on a farm and can hit 80 hrs easily. Really want to get a new job where i work less, but untangling oneself from family affairs is tricky
You idle 60 hours a week? Was that a typo?
@@PasCorrect probably not. What did you expect it to be? The 40 work week only applies to those who can afford it
You've quickly become one of my favourite food RUclipsrs, and I watch a bunch of them. I love a lot of channels for a lot of different reasons, but your approach of "I'm a home cook making dinner for 4 after working 8 hours and leaving myself time to get Bobby to soccer practice, not a Michelin-starred chef preparing meals for the dinner rush" is greatly appreciated, and has been a revelation for me.
This was my first FAQ video, and I really appreciate learning more about you and your lifestyle; it's definitely relatable. I wish the Ragusea family(and any and all reading this) a fortunate 2022, and keep doing what you're doing!
Adam, I would love to see collaborations with music RUclips! As someone who loves music dearly I found your story about the Vox Mariah Carey Debacle to be very inspiring and enlightening (I watch it occasionally) and overall I seem to understand that you really love music so why not engage with that! Go 2 Adams! Or maybe you could have the Beato family over for dinner and a jam session. Anyway, I think there are lots of people who'd love this kind of stuff.
Beato, Neely, Ragusea...?
Yes please!
You have *actually* impacted the way I approach cooking. Having never really cooked with my parents, I had to learn by myself via the internet, and, being a perfectionist, I became super anal about everything, to the point that it could ruin the whole experience if something went ”wrong”. I think a component that had been missing in the cooking videos I watched was precisely the emphasis you put on ”cooking in the real world, for real people”, measuring by eye and tasting to adjust. And that sometimes things go wrong, and that’s fine; it can still be a delicious meal.
Holy Land Market is AWESOME! My wife and I love that place, we usually go there once a week for the Turkish coffee, food, packaged snacks, and rare Middle Eastern delicacies. For foodies it's definitely in the top 10 places to visit in Knoxville, and the owners are a trip! They're awesome people.
My roommate and I used to drop by there and pick up lunch once a week when we went to UT. Absolute gas
❤ Through the course of the last year or so this has became my favorite channel on RUclips. The mix of informative videos and recipe videos meant for real people really does it for me. Thanks for a year of great videos and best wishes for the coming year.
My pest control guy keeps telling me about Holy Land and their cannoli. I need to get down there. He let me know the owner’s wife who makes the cannoli had passed away, but he still has the recipe and was very proud of it. That whole Sutherland Ave area is full of great restaurants, though. Gosh Ethiopian is my fav. Glad to have you in Knoxville!
I love that you are in Knoxville, but it makes me a little homesick. I grew up in East TN and lived in Knoxville before I took my current job in Louisiana. Keep up the great work. you are one of my favorite youtube channels and big cooking inspiration. Happy New Year!
Adam,
I have the same range you put in the kitchen remodel (although the induction model) and I 100% agree it does not get hot.
I think it’s because the door is thin to get more space so it can’t get as hot as it’s losing too much heat. It can’t even self clean normally. It has a steam clean which is complete garbage.
The induction is amazing but I agree with you on the oven itself. I can deal with it but when I remodel my kitchen I am going to get a better oven.
As a fellow Knoxvillian, i would recommend la herradura if you're in the mood for some great tacos(especially the lengua, I'd kill for a lengua recipe video) and yassin's falafel is a wonderful place run by a wonderful man.
Feel like every time I get Yassin's, I need a food coma but I'm at work
Love yassin’s! I suggested big Ed’s for NY style pizza. Although apparently big Ed’s can be controversial for some reason as far as taste goes lol. It’s good to me!
+
i don’t know how they cook it over there but the traditional mexican way to cook it is to just put a bunch o salt and whole garlic cloves on boiling water and then you just leave the tongue in there for like 4 hours until it’s really soft. You take off the membrane on top of the meat and chop it up, and that’s it. If you know how to speak spanish or even if you don’t i think you could still understand some recipes from a channel called “La capital”
“As a fellow Knoxvillian” I have to recommend Mexican and middle eastern cuisine because, you know the good ol southern cuisine and BBQ traditional cuisine it’s too far away. Come on if that’s the best you can get there , then why not just live in North Dakota at least nobody can ask for any traditional cuisine there.
I'd love to move to east Tennessee some day, but the job determines where I move to and I like my job. I do at least get some freedom of about a 100 mile radius and don't have to live in cities. They're stressful, crowded, and expensive to live in. I find areas just outside the suburbs, right where rural areas begin to be the nicest places to live. Close enough to a city for anything special, and a short drive into suburbia for anything you need, but inexpensive living and friendly neighbors.
Love your channel Adam. I hope it continues to grow even bigger in 2022.
18:30: Yes to all of that. When work is less rewarding, like working at a convince store, it's just harder to push yourself.
As a creator myself, I find much, much more enjoyment and reward in making crappy ytps, even though it doesn't generate enough money in the first place.
Point is, I could never work 80 hours a week cleaning crap off of toilets.
Yeah. Also, I love ur videos!
19:00 the “I work lots is make better money “ thing gets right up my news. I was raised by a corporate lawyer, who lionised long hours as a mark of hard work. Yet very time time in motion or similar studies are done, they find that better work is some in fewer hours, when employees are less tired.
Yeah well there's a difference between being an entrepreneur and being an employee of someone else, particularly in something like RUclips. He's also from a family of Italian immigrant business owners, that sensibility was probably instilled by them.
Thank you for an amazing year again Adam, all your videos are so interesting and has really made my passion for cooking and skills for cooking increase over 2021 and to be honest I rewatch some of your popular videos every now & then. Hope you and your family have had an amazing christmas and wishing you all a great new year. 💙
Finally :)) have been waiting so long for another "Ask Adam". And I Googled "Tennessee autumn" right after Lauren mentioned it... It's so... Oh.... Beyond beautiful....
HOLY LAND CAFE!!!!!!!!! I swear on my life I was thinking about this gem when you started talking about being able to get anything in more populated areas. My wife and I used to go on dates here back when we were dating. She used to live in some (not so great at the time) apartments down the road from there. We were students at UTK at the time.
I love your videos and find the Ask Adam vids especially enlightening! Thanks for 2021 and I hope 2022 is a great year for the Raguseas!
Found your channel 2 weeks ago and binged all the videos. Great content! I also recommended it to my family during the Christmas visit.
to the Tennessee person, you live in Knoxville. It's easily one of the best places in the state and for a college town it's very full of life and action. Not all of Tennessee is poor and pitiful, that's an awful stereotype because we're actually very developed compared to other places I've seen. I'm glad you enjoy living here Adam, and hearing your words about life here is so amazing and refreshing. Thank you so much :)
Adam, I discovered your channel a couple years ago I think. I just wanted to say that I have and continue to really enjoy your content. Not just the recipes and actual video content but also what comes through from you as a person. This video in particular has been one of my favorites. The back and forth with your wife is heart warming, it’s very evident you have a wonderful relationship. And I agree family is everything. BTW, I too am a big fan of Adam Neely and Rick Beato, a collaboration would be kick a$$! Thank you for what you do.
Tennessee is gorgeous - you did yourself well - and family comes first - so it's completely awesome. Happy New Year Adam and family.
Man, I really needed that 'If you're struggling with your pizza' disclamer. Our new tiny apartment has an oven has just ruined my long time pizza resipe, and I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out whats wrong all of a sudden. I knew it was the oven but I've been sure it couldn't JUST be the oven.
Its the oven.
even as a 14 year old i love how he talks and also how he approaches his channel love the content keep it up my friend
Discovering your channel was a gateway for me to take cooking more seriously. Back at the onset of the pandemic, it was the best distraction from everything going on for my wife and I. It was so strange that shortly after we decided to move home (Southeastern KY) you announced you were moving to East TN! The guy who got us into serious cooking was moving just a stones throw away from where we were moving at almost the same time. All that to say, I so understand what you're saying about people asking you why you're moving to the Appalachians. People have this idea about it they feel is very concrete, despite having never been there. It's such a beautiful part of the country with beautiful people, your explorations into Maryville and Knoxville proof of that!
My grandparents lived in Madisonville, so we spent a lot of time driving through Knoxville and going to Maryville, and you've shown me a side of Maryville that I didn't even know existed! I think you're doing a great service to showing a side of Appalachia that a lot of people don't get to, or care to, see. Thank you, Adam!
BTW You should get Ronni Lundy on for an episode.....
Thanks for the tip on vhino verde. I had never heard of it but I went and got two different vintners offerings from my local grocery store (the total for both bottles was US$16.) My wife likes white moscato so I had high hopes for these. After small samples, we both decided this wine is a keeper. Have a good new year.

The sig I should have used for my previous post is: "Don't trust atoms; they make up everything."
Two oven thoughts:
Our GE goes to 11, er, um, 550... but since we meter it for the purpose of cooking a standing rib roast with the "let it coast" theory of finishing, we know that it's *really* hard to get it past 500, even set to 550, no matter how long you're willing to wait.
On the "True convection" front, I would assume that means that it does not heat the elements in the oven for radiative heating, it *only* heats the moving air.
Doing a cross-skill video with Rick Beato would be great. Rick helps you make a new theme song, you help Rick make a meal. That would be deliciously tasty. Thanks for the video, we're looking forward to watching, learning and cooking with AR in 2022.
I just moved from WA/ID to middle TN in October for the same reasons you talked about. I’m loving it here, the pace of life is much more relaxed, and you can actually afford to buy a house here with a normal career.
Adam, great stuff. Thoroughly enjoy so many of your videos and side-lessons and mentions. Sincere thanks
For making pizza in a poor-quality oven, I've gotten good results with a cast-iron pan. Basically, the stovetop can easily get hotter than the actual oven, so you can crisp up the bottom on a burner, then move the pan to the oven to cook it properly. (Or possibly vice versa? Maybe finish under the broiler to brown the cheese? I haven't done this a lot.)
Yeah that works. I do that
Adam does a similar par-bake procedure for his pizza recipe that goes directly over the oven grates (sans pizza stone). Was a very helpful vid on how to lay a dough into a hot oven
he did this on his latest pan pizza recipe
he made a video of exactly this process

Love you both! Thanks for existing! Can't wait to hear more from BOTH of you!
Having folks talk about communities of hundreds of thousands of people like they're small towns is always a jarring shift in perspective.
East TN native and now back: Adam you should give Dr Enuf a try if you aren’t already familiar. The legend is it’s the original energy drink and a sister soda to Mtn Dew. A very local item only.
Literally the only thing I miss about East Tennessee, except my Mamaw.
Great channel guys! Always an awesome effort from this channel. Congratulations. It's definitely not easy getting productions of this quality out as fast as you guys do. Hope you had a good festive period with family and friends! Good will for the new year from Scotland!
Adam, i really enjoy your work. My passion hasn't made well to do, but it has become my career. It's a blessing for sure. Beato rocks, too. Hopefully you'll get that time together. I spent a retreat in Wears Valley... beautiful country!
I’ve always thought Plato’s forms did represent the best ideal. Always cool to learn philosophy on food RUclips.
I did a quick google and "true convection" has a heating element in the fan, sort of like my electric heaters I use to heat the room. Allegedly, this allows for even more efficient, even heating that circulating the air heated by the conventional bottom element. Not sure why, but I guess your results put paid to that claim.
Love you guys. Have a wonderful 2022 in your new home.
I'm from TN and I can second both 1. how wildly different West and East TN are and 2. How beautiful the state is (especially the mountains)
I'm 21 years old and I've lived in Knoxville my whole life! Welcome to "the scruffy city" !
That hard cut when he started explaining ‘the south’… priceless 😅😂
Happy holidays to everyone!
I really started cooking with your vids, and i find it really really fun. The recipes itself are good yet convinient, and also the science behind it all seems super interesting the way you present it
Overall, thanks for the nice content ^^
Wanted to say that I found your channel during the year-end shutdown. Rather than getting off a lot of holidays over the year, I mostly get the time off between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day. I enjoy both the entertainment and energy you provide, but the INFORMATION and balance you also give. You're not one of these 'OMG SO TOXIC' .. or 'OMG SO HEALTHTY' sorts of people. You inform to the very best of your ability and I greatly appreciate that balance. Thanks so much.
Unni needs to sponsor you with one of the ovens so you can do a pizza video.
Also
Whoever asked why Tennessee has not stepped out of their neighborhood. Coming from somebody who rew up in New York City, Tennessee for a while and it was amazing. You get amazing houses and land for your money. Everybody down there is very nice there is a huge downtown scene and it's just a great place to live you got the Tennessee River and various parks and mountains. Also you can go do some moonshinein
It honestly depends on where you live in Tennessee moving to Memphis has made me appreciate where I came from and once I make enough I’m leaving the minute I can
Tennessee is dog shit
Tennessee ranks at the bottom of almost every measurement of quality of life
News flash, lots of states have rivers, parks and mountains.
@@thekell north east coast is the place for me always
As someone who grew up in Appalachia. It is awful. If you are not straight white and go to church on Sunday, they will hate you. It is a closed minded awful part of the country that is infected with drugs.
i think adam doing an ooni video really defeats the purpose of his videos, which is cooking food without expensive equipment. I mean yeah he already did a neapolitan pizza video sponsored by hot ash but i don't know why would he make an ooni video.
I’m a Tennessee native (Nashville area) and I’d recommend East Tennessee for someone who is thinking of moving to the South but doesn’t want the full intensity of Southern life. Not to say that East Tennessee isn’t Southern, it very much is. I’m simply saying there’s much more to it than being Southern, unlike some other states. Lakes and rivers galore, amazing hills and valleys, all four seasons (and you get less Tornadoes in the Spring); I mean it’s just great. Chattanooga is very outdoor-activity focused -I could go on.
@@IvorMektin1701 Sure, we'll just move the river and Lookout Mtn. We'll get right on it *grin*
@@soulie13
I was thinking a Hail Mary loop over the north of town. Otherwise I really like Chattanooga, it's gotten so much better in the last twenty years.
Is Bea's still open? I'm too lazy to Google 😜
@@IvorMektin1701 I'm one of the transplants all of the friendly Southerners not so secretly like to hate, so I'm not so sure about Bea's. I *think* they are still going. It's certainly interesting living in a city that is still growing and reinventing itself. Best to you in the new year.
@@soulie13
You too!
Adam you inspire me to be creative and I love to watch you if I want to get on the grindset, thank you
What I noticed quickly is Adam's respect to places that otherwise might be overlooked if not dismissed in terms of places to live and have a career. There is beauty, excitement (?) and good food to be found in places that aren't named LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, DC, Boston or Philly. You just have to look, give it a try and take it as it is.
Welcome to TN! I moved here from the Midwest and really like it here. Dove in to some of the local history and made a few videos about such. One fun fact...the father of Oliver Hardy was in Knoxville during the siege of the town during the Civil War. Fort Dickerson has an interesting story as well...including the life of Jonathan Calvin Dickerson whom the fort is named after. Every place has history...both good and bad. Cheers!
Well, to answer your question...
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
Rosanna's down in Texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet Eileen's in Abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And Allison's in Galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And Dimples who now lives in Temple's
Got the law looking for me
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee
I remember that old Frio River
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight
All my ex's live in Texas
And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in Texas
And therefore I reside in Tennessee
Some folks think I'm hiding
It's been rumored that I died
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee
Kudos for being original or just making my afternoon entertaining!
God damn it, if Strait isn't one of the best damned singers to ever live!
I get you about Tenessee. I'm from England, but lived in Tenessee for a while. I found some comfort in the four distinct seasons. I like the hot the middle the cold the mild. I lived in a few states where there is 'homogeintiy' in weather. Seasonal climate ftw. Happy holidays to you all!!
I truly enjoyed that Q&A. Thank you guys. Hope to see you again in the comments of music-related RUclips channels.
Adam obviously moved to Tennessee to get better pizza cheese
*Adam is giving us another Q & A today. We really appreciate that!*
😈👍
Thank you for aducating and entertaining me at the same time all the way through 2021.
Congrats on your success and continued growth. I really appreciate your videos!
The convnience store workers standing up for hours was the subject of a bill in my Mediterranean country (which i shall not name to avoid a flame war) it culminated in the cashier's act, basically not providing seating in jobs where otherwise you would be standing up all day is a the equivalent of a federal crime her
This really should've been dealt with way sooner, but i'm glad your country decided that leg strain wasn't necessary anymore. lol
Israel? Doesn't exist, bud
@@klearkhoswashokani1797 it sure does you keep living in your fantasy box believing that and they’ll keep killing and persecuting and making life hell for “Palestine” while you sit and tweet about it and cry in the corner 😂
@@klearkhoswashokani1797 how does it make you feel that your little fantasy will never be a reality every major country in the world that’s worth it’s weight in salt recognizes isreal and as far as I can see isreal isn’t the one that’s been getting their ass kicked at every turn lol to the victor goes the spoils if they want it back they can gladly go and try to take it see how that goes
@@romeothompson9389 chill with the schizophrenia, zionist
I love it when people from the North/West/Cities give you that look. As someone living in a small town in the south I honestly couldn't think of a better place to live. Different strokes and all but don't knock it til you've tried it (especially an entire region)
I have to say..I really like your channel ! I love your personality & your interaction w/yr. wife. Your approach to cooking is right up my alley. I love to cook & so do you, it shows. You have found your niche & it must be very satisfying. Here's to you both & your continued success! Happy New Year !!
had no idea you were from Tennessee. I am too, a small town past Cookeville. glad to see a fellow Tennessean make the state proud.
About the first question...
I get it ALL the time. When I inform someone I am from southern California, they look at me wierd and say something along the lines of "Why did you move to the south, especially to a military/college town?" (I live in Pensacola, Florida.)
It's become a reflex to basically just go "Cost of living, plain and simple." as a short response, and then I'll say "Military personell come and go, and so do college stusents. Due to that, permanent residents-wise the city doesn't have many people, so the cost of living is cheaper." if asked to elaborate (usually only older folks ask).
Wasn't always that simple though. Been here for almost 7 years, and in the very beginning, it use to be SUPER annoying.
Thanks for taking my suggestion to put the question on screen in text.

@@DaveDVideoMaker I think you have to love her for that to happen
@@fahad3643 I don’t. She is worthless!
Adam, pure convection uses only a heating element outside the oven chamber (in back of it) and blows that hot air into the oven. Convection bake uses the bottom heating element in the oven chamber and blows the air around.
Wishing you and your family, a Happy and Healthy New Year!
PLEASE do a collab with weight lift youtube! I would love to watch that with my husband; he's intimidated by cooking and I'm intimidated by weightlifting so we try to share things with each other that make it less intimidating. P.S. You and Lauren are really lovely together
Adam, if you need to make 1 video a week in the summer to spend more time with your family, please do.
We, your fans, love you and what you do, but real life comes first c:
Love these. Just wanna say thank you for your work. It makes a difference in a lot of people's lives including mine, however small or big that may be.
I have been bingeing on your channel for several days, and I like the creative ways you manage to segue into the commercials.
That square space transition fucking killed me.
OMG! I so understand this. When my wife and I announced we were moving from the Seattle area to St. Louis we received a resounding, "Why?" from nearly everyone.
For us it is simple - economics. We cannot afford to remain in this area, despite having been lifetime residents of the PNW. St. Louis is cheaper to live in and is still a city. It is also not the rest of Missouri. And, the real kicker is, I have family there. Family that both my wife and I would like to be nearer to.
Who knows, I might actually be able to retire in that city.
Its so interesting to see you in a more personal way. Love it
As a past resident of East Tennessee, and returning there next year, I'm glad my place got a shoutout!
THANK YOU. I've always disliked fruit pies because of how much super sweet filling to pie crust there is. It's like eating an entire jar of fruit preserves with a gram cracker it's insane.

What's your opinion on savory pies?
You can make your own and regulate the amount of the sugar.
That's why I like Chicken pot pie... no fruit... no graham cracker🤣
I recommend you look into claire saffitz (dessert person) on youtube. One thing i really like about her recipes is the balance. Because sugar is a means to accent something, not a means in itself. She has a tempered taste that i appreciate.
Remember that time Adam made an entire video to show us he's actually pretty good at guitar.
Love you, Adam! I've learned so much from your work, sir. Thank you.
That person who ask about website builder recommendations. You are a hero.
I just want to thank Lauren for her reassurance about mispronouncing words we've only ever read. Can we normalise not making people feel like morons for doing this?
I've been making pizzelles all month. People who have never had one before or only had store bought go nuts for the homemade ones. When are we going to get YOUR pizzelles video?
I’m seconding this!
Is it like a pizza?
@@akale2620 Good question, it's nothing like a pizza. They're very thin, crispy cookies that are light, semisweet and can come in a variety of flavors but vanilla, almond and anise are the most common. If you haven't had one, ask your Italian friends to make you some.
@@frankdantuono2594 there are no Italians where I live. In Asia.
@@akale2620 You need a special iron to make them similar to a waffle iron. Otherwise I would give you the recipe.
Irish whiskey! Always a great drink, Adam. Thanks for posting this video - it’s a real treat to get to see and your wife just be yourselves and answer questions and laugh and have a good time. It’s clear that you enjoy what you do based on the quality and output. It’s one of many reasons why I keep coming back for more. Great work!!
yes TN is beautiful. I will be thru hiking the Appalachian trail this spring. ive already done the GA to TN sections but I want to do them again because it was so beautiful.
