I've heard that Yan's accent is fake. I don't know if I believe that, but I don't care. He is funny, has a bright, positive attitude, and loves cooking! What more could you want in a human being?

[wywoo225]

His accent is not fake. He was foreign born and came to the US for college.

Look at how sharp the knife he's using, and his accuracy of cutting.

I always wondered why chinese knives are so wide. Is there any particular purpose for the width?

Almost all real Chinese chefs use that knife but I have never seen real full use of that width.

Anyone?

[wywoo225]

It's the weight coming from the width of the knife that helps the cutting easier.

[Gordon Ramsay]

it can also double as a nigger bashing stick, for those times when the house guests get a little too unruly

[noobwow2009]

try use that type of knife to cook and cut something, you will find out it is more easy to chop some food.

I haven't use other knife for a long time since I bought a Chinese knife

[Emily Woo]

My mom told me se watched Martin before she met my dad. I finally look at his shows and I know where she learned how to cook. That liar told me she learned it on her own.

[scarretlover]

sometimes the width can be used to crush ginger and garlic.

[AudioCorps]

Holy shit, that knife is sharp.

[Nathan Oneill]
