[johnnyboything]

Hello Chef John. I'm assuming I a bit late as far as the contests goes but I do have a summer food wish. My father( who has been gone a long time now) used to make the delicious macaroni dish with shrimp. From what I remember is the ingredients consisted of elbow or small shell macaroni, celery, pimento,black olives,onion,salad shrimp,mayo,oil,vinegar,salt,p­epper,garlic and maybe some cheese. So simple but oh so good. Hope you can find time to try to recreate this dish as I remember.Thank you

[Mimepeople]

i like food :)

[blahbutt23]

i would love too see your version of a Tuna Sandwich please grant my fish mayo craving!

[babbeltje5678]

Sweet cocktail without alcohol

[hourglas39]

I can't believe I missed this video ! Darn It !

[sterlingman]

OK the first two prices are fab, but what I really want is that freakishly small wooden spoon!

[zantomun]

grilled cheese

[RedSatin69]

I'd love you to do ice cream recipes. Whether ice cream itself, ice cream cakes, pies, etc. Summer and Ice cream go together like um.....Christmas and pine trees...:O)

[ifuseekamy00]

Chef john , u rock!

You make tasty food

[787aea]

so did this contest end or is it still going?

[AncientBoneCrusher]

is that a flashy le crueset on the shelf in the background? if so, good man.

[8toomuch111]

i like the 'whole roast pig' idea best. You know, something quick and easy, uncomplicated.

[MapleSkittles]

God dammit, I want the spoon...

[TheBellaTenenbaum]

CHEF JOHN PLEASE SHOW US HOW TO MAKE FROZEN YOGURT BECAUSE IT'S SUMMER AND WE NEED SOMETHING TO COOL OFF WITH!

[hamzaman123]

@TheBellaTenenbaum r u jewish?

[markpianoman]

@hamzaman123 I think he look Italian....

[Warrigt]

I hope a Sam wins. *hope*

[haitherebainow]

I think you should make a whole roast pig, in a fire pit. There's nothing better than the crackly crunchy skin and the succulent meat of a roasted pig. Better than any kebab

[joyjoyooO]

u r just lovely u know that? =DDDDD

[Kanel1991]

Grilled BBQ (red meat), and a nice strawberry sallad, with just a little olive -oil and lemon. Ah yes, I said it... Strawberry's. The strawberry's should be cut into 3 pieces, so they look extremely delicous.

Perhaps some strawberry marinade on the meat to? :D

And as always, strawberry's!

Btw... this channel is the best, and it will be forever.

[kevluvzchips]

Gotta love the spoon!

[medusa7]

I love you <3 so adorable !

[desig1rl]

Here's a wonderful summer recipe...pls try to make some mango chicken recipe...mmm so tasty n reminds me of a tropical getaway...something u'd only eat in the islands only...but i've made it n it rocksss

[tahoe350]

Chef John looks like a cool cat!

[ChickengirlDesign]

Would love to see your twist on something with soba noodles- like a summer noodles dish? Entering because I really want that freakishly small wooden spoon and it would be pretty cool to have a summer of me! heh!

[Juniorwazhomeless]

[skelekiss]

@Juniorwazhomeless HAHAAH TRUE THAT!

[StrawberryTablet]

@Juniorwazhomeless My favourite comment of the year.

[Geckomayhem]

@Juniorwazhomeless Didn't you know that Mario was originally a chef? He only became a plumber because collecting coins is more fun than collecting bottles of ketchup.

[amirfuter]

[xintolerancex]

I want a freakishly small wooden spoon as a wedding present! ::wink-wink::

[BlazingCheerio]

It would be nice to see your take on Birria/ Barabacoa. Its easy to make it just takes awhile for it to cook and make the meat tender.

[excidioinanis]

A food that comes to mind when I think of summer are corn dogs. Going to The County Fairs,Carnivals and the Circus all coming to town. And it would be easier on the wallet if I could stuff the kids with some made from home before going out so I don't have to listen to "CAN WE GET A CORN DOG,CAN WE GET A CORN DOG 50,000 times." Thanks Tom

[hunterofthenite]

arg i need a camera haha

[Houseofthe7gayboys]

Hows about some jailhouse tube steaks on a shank?

[primefer4680]

Chef John - blast from the past, awesome to see you lol.

You have to make Timpano, I blame you for my addiction to The Big Night (best kitchen movie ever), I would really want to see your version of it.

Cheers to you,

Trevor A.

[alquiora]

Oh come on... "unless you got some kind of crazy name"... lol xD

[brocris13]

i'd like to see you make a passionfruit and taro recipe . i love polynesian cuisine and i think it suits the summer theme. i always wonder and curious about these two different ingredients tastes like when combined, perhaps a dessert. would you consider this a challenge..? hmmmm...

[Gaels68]

[BeechGirl76]

I think it should be "The Summer of Casanova's Rendezvous" since our 1 year anniversary is coming up. I have a bucket (5 gallon) of fresh crook neck summer squash I have purchased from a local farmer and am wondering what in the world am I going to do with these sunshine colored veggies...

[rshome123]

Hi Chef John.. I've been watching your videos for a year or so, from Old England. Now then, I'd like to see you make something amazing out of the following ingredients... Habanero peppers (aka Scotch Bonnet) Halumi cheese (you know the salty greek/cyprus one) Minced Beef (cheap as you like) Onion (not red... gives indigestion) Balsamic vinegar Cucumber (English of course) Cumin Cinammon. Running out of chars.. I love these things.... Please make a yummy meal for me and friends. Richard UK

CHEF JHON YOUR THE BEST CAN YOU MAKE ALL AMERICAN CHEESE BURGER PLZZZ

[strmman]

i may just do a video myself, no face just hands. I dont have your editing capabilties, but i love to cook. and i make some awesome food, not let me feed some other people and if they think so too, we are golden. I was the guy who asked for tomato sauce from tomatos, fromt he field, not from a can.  I am growing dozens of plants right now, so maybe that will be it. any chef john u are the greatest! love michele helping u too.

[grasthube]

i want the spoon! :)

[karloca18]

you could make "fruit salad", this reminds me of summer in my country, Chile, all these natural fruits with unique flavor. But this fruit salad would have to be very juicy, you eat all the fruit and end up with the unique flavor of the juice in your glass, which is what most refreshes you, ohhhhhh so good ....... :))

Summer of you? that's ME!

[amenoacid09]

lol... "unless you got some kind of crazy name"

[fyourself]

Hi, I know it might not be really chef type cooking, but with a family and working, it can be a little tuff making dinner. I was just wondering if you can do a crock-pot recipie (if you have one) and place it on youtube foodwishes. Thanks !

[koolerthanapolarbear]

i finally know what chef john looks like!

[TheSushiholic]

SHRIMP/CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE! It's a classic spicy New Orlean's dish that's perfect for this summer's hot season. Chef John you always make the most mouth watering dishes us mortals can relate to or even want to even try to attempt to make. I think this flavorful Cajun dish will make any viewer love you that much more!

[7BUILDER7]

@TheSushiholic He has a shrimp etoufee on his site already.

[qmouse101]

I would love it if you woud show a shish kabob marinade as they are my favorite in the summer. We do have venders in the city that sell them in the summer but I would love to make them at home.

Love your channel keep up the great job!

[Sexwithturtles]

You should give out a big container of cayenne pepper in addition to the spoon.

[AirrowRocket]

Soft shell crabs done 3 ways; sauteed, breaded and grilled.

[n1sK]

Well i would like to submit a entry on video but how do i do that? do i simply upload the video on my YT account and then link it on the mod feature in foodwishes channel?

[ellelesrose]

This never appeared in my subscriptions! =(

[khaniu]

@ellelesrose neither did mine..

[soappop]

How do you enter?

[psychonavigator]

Carne asada nachos with homemade corn tortilla chips. I want to see you knock that one out of the park, Chef John! Love your videos!

[1111atreides]

I never win anything so I'll cast a vote for seviche (sp?)  I myself was wondering if anyone knows....Does anyone know of a youtube channel that deals with all those weird things we see in the store that we pass over because we don't know what they are? Star fruit, cactus leaves, tahini?...

[BlazingCheerio]

@1111atreides ceviche? what do you need to know?

[ozaki1213]

Chef John, as the people said - gaspacio soup, grilled bbq meat on skewers - i kinda like to see whats your fav marinade too. also grilled veggies on skewers. lots of salads to go with them. and as a desert - a homemade melon ice cream. and don't forget the beer. the summer is all about the cold beer! cheers Chef John! i dont want the spoon - its just an idea, and yeas i have a weird name

[LulaLaBelle]

Dear Chef John,

could you please make a second course of cold grilled red meat served along with some kind of special cold sauces (aside) and some very tasty vegetables (raw and cooked) cubed salad? I am very curious on how to serve and taste cold red grilled meat :) Thank you vcery much (Serena - Italy)

[FaerieKit]

i would love it if you would make a grilled vegetable gazpacho because summer is definately a time to use the barbeque, but it is also really hot out so a nice cold soup every once in a while is great. And a great dessert idea would be cheesecake with home grown strawberrie fresh from the garden. You can also use vegetables from you owngarden for the gazpacho.

[Delorian82]

that spoon gives me the creeps

[hobovu]

Can you make Ice Cream? I mean its about summer, what goes more hand and hand with summer then ice cream? Don't you remember those days on a hot summer day, and getting a nice cold ice cream cone?

[magicbuskey]

Ceviche - shrimp, tomatoes, cucumber, cilantro, etc very fresh. Very delicious!! In the authentic recipe the shrimp actually cooks in lime juice rather than using heat.

[toodaloos93]

I think summer for me is barbeque- so what is your best marinade for meats? how do you make your steak?

I NEED THAT SPOON

[BSonT]

THE SUMMER OF GEORGE!!!!!!!!!! Chef John, are you a big Seinfeld fan like I am? Awesome.

[44brebre]

Hello Chef John U are quite charming I must say!!!I'm diabetic and I dont quite know what recipe I would want but I think I speak for lots of people when I say that its hard as a diabetic to eat something delicious refreshing and healthy during the summer.

Thanx a lot but maybe some kind of soup or dessert!!!♥♥♥

[LasombraQ]

i am not really sure if i got the contest right. but summer for me means Thai Coconut Beef and Pineapple Black pepper corn icecream. And no, i am not Asian. i live in Greece being a 1st working cook too thanks to you

[GoGlowy]

:-) yay! Now I can match your expressions to your voice! Awesome!

[PeteBeast]

I have two plates that I'd like to see made! One would be Beef Wellington. I made the suggestion about two years ago at foodwishes(dot)com, you replied saying you'd consider it for a video, been waiting Chef! The other recipe would be a coconut cold soup I saw somewhere a while back, perfect for hot summers I guess. It was creamy, cold and seems quiet delicious except not everyone is a fan of coconut! Anyways, thanks a lot Chef!

[LilacWine7699]

I saw a uncooked tomato sauce for pasta in a Bon Appetit or other cooking magazine. I've made versions of it a couple of times and it's wonderful. Some of the tomatoes are just chopped, others are grated on the large side of a box grater. With good olive oil, garlic and minced onions, it's incredibly wonderful.

[Ramsez]

lol you're a bit fatter then i imagined, but i did guess you'd have a mustache.

[ATEUHmei]

I would love if Chef John were to make Limeade because what would be the most refreshing drink to drink during the summer? Limeade! Other then having the traditional lemonade, use lime instead! Taste just as great! :)

I have a problem submitting this on your actual channel.. heh heh

[CrimsonCrow518]

I like adore pastries and would love seeing a chocolate chip cookie recipe done. I mean yeah the recipes are simple but everyone does them different. Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite and I would just die for a recipe of this cookie from you.

[michaelaaron18]

I want that spoon

[acciocookie]

I like actually seeing you on a video :D
