Alright, check out my cousin’s take on a Chinese classic, “mapo tofu“. You’ll notice the video that he shot and edited in a day (far quicker than anything I’ve ever done) is by far the most visually sophisticated and cinematic of all the the videos yet posted on this site. It’s all about visual storytelling. I sense the influence of P. T. Anderson. That’s because he’s a genius and an incredibly talented filmmaker and animator. Did I mention we’re related by blood? Bret, you might want to pay attention to how he peels the skin off the Italian sausages. He doesn’t even use his hands. There’s no “pushing it” at all. Intrigued? Check out the full video and recipe.

Check out the full review of our first three burgers. Come on. Take a bite.
C Makes Hummus!
Ok, for my first recipe video I thought I would go with something really basic. That way I thought it would be easier to shoot, edit and hopefully to follow if you’re watching. I guess proof is in the pudding huh? Or in this case the hummus. Alright that being said, click on the photo and watch how I transform this can of garbanzo beans into a sumptuous and complex hummus. (Alright it’s pretty basic but maybe, just maybe you’ll learn something – or at least find it amusing.)
