I'm a huge fan of longtime celebrity chef #MartinYan. He's had several shows over the decades, but my favorite is "Martin Yan's Chinatowns."

Found a YouTube channel of ripped episodes from Food Network Canada. It's my put-on-in-the-background-while-I-work, make-myself-hungry-instantly comfort viewing.

That feeling when I found out Donnie Yen and Martin Yan share the same surname (in Chinese), 甄 and now I want an action packed Martin Yan biopic starring Donnie Yen.

Including a completely unnecessary friendly closed-door duel between Martin Yan and Mr Rogers, solely because both men had their shows on PBS. 😂

"Hey if Yan can, you can too!"
"Well, neighbour, let's get to it then."

"GIANT TRIPLE DECKER EGG FOO YOUNG"

I've never heard a more beautiful sentence in my life. 😂😍
