Hey Watchers! Steven here, and we've come to the pilot season finale of Homemade. We covered dumplings with a mother, tamales from a grandmother, and a pho recipe that was passed down to an immigrant's son. It was very intentional to feature people from all walks of life and showcase how food gets passed down generationally. Big shoutout to the Homemade team because I often get way too much credit - Tony, Brittney, the editors, production staff, the restaurants, family members, Ryan & Shane, and our sponsors.
That being said - I hope we can bring this show back with a season two! But it pains me to say that I don't know when that will happen given the pandemic. At the very least I hope this show has inspired you in some way to stay connected with your family and cook a little bit more.
-Steven
Watcher loved it!! Such a great series
Im so used to only Ryan say "that being said" that you saying it took me awhile to register
This show is so wholesome and heartwarming, it makes you feel all the feels ❤ so grateful for shows like these. I can't wait for season 2!!
Good stuff man !!! i'm a chef as well, and seeing this series makes very happy, in that cooking should be passed down generations to generations. yeah, i understand the convenience of getting fast food, or going to you're favorite restaurant, and order delivery. but cooking is more then just making a meal to eat, it's the time spent together in the kitchen, slowing down the day, and enjoying the company you're with. Every episode in this series is proof
"We made it!"
i had a huge smile on my face the entire time watching this video. it’s amazing to see funny, talented, successful, gorgeous viets/ asian americans in media !!!! :’)
omg hey queenie
We're you high?
IT RULES!!!!!! 🥺💖
I swear if this show doesn’t get renewed, I’m quitting the internet
You can quit the internet?
Amber Parvaiz srsly. Its fresh and new
Mockavel Velli agreed!
if I had to pick one show to be canceled itd probably be grocery run just because it's a bit redundant, still good tho!
@@panicatmybrain5933 Im leaning toward Spooky Small talk. It's very reliant on the guests. I think it should be like a one or two episode thing around Halloween.
That said it's their channel so they get the final say.
I really like how normal people are incorporated into this show so much. Yeah, restaurants are cool, but I think regular people cooking food from their families and backgrounds is so much more interesting.
That's why it's a spiritual successor Worth It. Something comforting about new recipes vs old recipes.
Instead of dumping gold and foie gras on some dough and calling it a pizza.
I do love both sides, fancy food and homemade. Some chefs are also inspired by their family and roots. The only difference with chef and homemade cooks is that professional chefs just made cooking their profession.
I know, it's so cool
I laughed way harder at the "Fantastic Pho" joke than I should have
But . . . there's only three of them . . .
;-)
i know its not "worth it", but i was waiting for andrew's reaction after that
Viets make the BEST food hands down. This coming from a Chinese
Oh forgot this was a pun on Photastic Four
Stop holding yourself back
there are no words that could encapsulate how distraught i'd ever be if we don't get homemade s2 and s3 and s4, it's a show about such an important topic
Nai Lim let’s hope it won’t be like ruining history 😔 (also hello fellow yoosung lover lol)
tenshiix god we love to see it i mourn the loss of ruining history everyday
Yeah, with the chaotic shows hosted by Ryan and Shane, I swear we need homemade to cancel out the crazy
P.S. that doesn’t mean I don’t like Ryan and Shane ,they’re the main reason I came here.
i just absolutely NEED homemade and puppet history to be renewed for second seasons 🥺
And a puppet show reviewing food.
Yes puppet history is so good
the most important two ;;
UR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED, REJOICE
I hope at the end of the season you release a cookbook with all the homemade recipes. "homemade - you make it"
She is so bossy🤦🏼♀️
Pleeeeaaeeese
YES!
I really hope this gets renewed for a second season once the pandemic ends, and i would love to see Steven try Filipino food! props to Steven and the crew for making such an amazing series :D I'm noth a soup/broth person but boy did this make me hungry and crave some pho xD
second gen culture is preferring traditional dishes when they have the substituted ingredients your mum used
thats what I love about food. It continues to evolve throughout generations
As a 3rd gen, i showed this comment to my mother (2nd gen Slovak), and her response was "hey. They substituted for a REASON."
The guy: "So why don't you just put a cow inside the pot?"
The Chef: "We did :)"
CAN WE SHOUTOUT THE EDITOR thooooo. The transition from act break to mom & son is so amazing
Editor is Josh and Steven himself 😊
whoa this was such a comforting and joyful vid to watch! Best show ever :)
The color grading is so appealing jsfhjkfjdhfsjs
who else keeps rewinding that one part where they say "act break" because the transitions are so smooth?
I never realized how tall Steven was until now..
omg same. everytime someone stands next time him i go "whoa he's taller than i expected"
Especially for a Malaysian!
Hes a bballer boy!
Steven actually has very good proportion, slender body and even longer legs.
Im half Vietnamese and half Mexican and I really wish my dad would’ve taught me more about my Asian culture, It’s so beautiful and I really wish I could be part of it :( I’ve always felt too mexican for my Vietnamese family and too Vietnamese for my Mexican family
Hey that makes you ultra special, coz you got the best of two worlds.
Animania freak thank you so much 🥺 it means a lot to hear that ❤️
Linda Que Leenda but it’s okay because at the end of the day the food is great on both sides lol :)
this editing is so aesthetically pleasing in all of its ways. bro i love this
* hears the watcher ding * ah yes,,,, i’m home
You’re home...made
Reyna Berry ICONIC
I didn't know i needed Steven lim until now and now I honestly don't know what I would do without him
i wish they could do one episode about traditional brazilian food, there are so many different dishes and different ways to make them depending from which region you are, i just love my country’s gastronomy and it would be interesting to see their take on it. anyways, i absolutely adore this show and everything else from the watcher, lots of love from brazil. 🇧🇷💞
Watcher said they'd do that tourism show anywhere they can get funding for.
Now if you can get a tourism board or something to fly Steven and crew over, you have a show.
picture this: its 2010, you just got home from school, its friday, theres a new wong fu weekend with cathy in it. kevjumba has a new video too. all is good.
or a song cover with Jason Chen......
ya that shit works with late 90 not the 2010s
on the show: *washing manila clams* me, an animal crossing addict: ah yes i see
my favorite flavor of clam!
This makes my heart warm so much and the entire vibe of the show is so comforting, I always watch it whenever I need to unwind 🥺
When your friend started talking about growing up poor but feeling fulfilled by the food their mom made I felt that. I grew up dirt poor, like no electricity sometimes and having to boil water for baths kinda poor, but we ate SO well. My mom could make anything out of nothing.
I had a beautiful moment a few years ago at this fancy restaurant, after taking my first bite of their potato leek soup I just started crying because it reminded me so much of my mom's version and the years of comfort it gave me.
Its really beautiful how much food can connect us to our past and the love we've had and watching people experience that on a generational scale has been so heartwarming. I really cherish this show.
I love the chef so much, idk if this sounds weird but he got so much personality, usually the chefs in these kind of videos is just serious or awkward.
Not a good idea for me to watch this while fasting but AGH I COULDN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT
Ramadan Mubarak to you!
@@unquietgrave4444 thank you 😁
same.
This is by far the most comforting and homely show on watcher, i love it so so so much
This is an amazing season finale, PHO sure...
...I had to I'm sorry
Dani ya, you could say it’s PHOnomenal... sorry 😅😂
I don't watch this series that much but if this is going to be the humor of the comments....
I know i'm home
may you pho-ever make puns.
Lucarrie Oh god 😂😂
This is my PHOvorite comment
Right off the bat “Hiiᴵᶦᶦᶦᶦ” 😂
Sometimes the boys just decide to remind you how far you’ve come since puberty 😅
C"
I bet Cathy's never lost a game in her life, I mean her name is Nguyen
At first I didn't get the joke cause I pronounced Nguyễn the Vietnamese way
@Sky King this is a great addition to my comment
Fun fact: 39% of the population of Vietnam are Nguyens. The last Viet dynasty is house Nguyen (idk if that has anything to do with the amount of Nguyens in the country, but I just wanted to add that)
@@ives6622 very factual, love that, 10/10 good comment
@Sky King what does this mean, Sky, I'm genuinely confused--
i was just watching this whole thing smiling like an idiot. it's almost 2am, i haven't eaten all day, i've been feeling slightly shitty, and i'll probably have a bit of a stressful day tomorrow--but this put a smile on my face when not much else did. making amazing, personal food like this with people who are special to you is a really beautiful thing, so thank you to everyone who made that possible. i appreciate it :)
Winson: I am a professional cook
Steven: *You dare challenge me mortal*
Fingering Things ✔️ WHAT I JUST SAW U ON THE KAST VIDEO
ELLIE SOMETHING THE OFFICE ERINN IN A WIRED AUTOCOMPLETED INTERVIEW
You are a Watcher god
I live right next to one of the Sup Noodle Bar restaurants and I can’t go anywhere else! Easily the BEST pho I’ve ever had, and shaken style makes it a dream.
Its been awhile since i saw Cathy Nguhyen!! She looks soo good..never age!! I love Pho..loveee this vid!❤️
this show has such good vibes like i love watching it at the end of the day
I know we can't do it yet but please bring this show back when we're out of the pandemic! It's so touching explores the good vibes we all need even post Pandemic!
I have loved this series on this channel! You took the two best parts of cooking for me! The intricacy behind the recipe between the professional and home chefs! And then you bring it back with the wholesome background stories for the home cooks who over their years on earth have perfected their own receipes and finally have a platform to share their creations!
It's so refreshing to watch a group of friends cook and eat around a big table together. Definitely living vicariously through this
yes, cutting is exactly like dancing
Clumsy, arhythmic, potentially dangerous, & somebody might be left bleeding.
Knives
as a matter of fact, you should dance WHILE cutting
*Sees Steven do the 'Cheers' with Cathy*
*~has Worth It flashbacks~*
I envy Wilson's way of learning. I wish i learned how to cook when I was a kid, like being curious and asking questions. I was always shooed away in the kitchen cos i was "in the way" when i really just wanted to be a part of cooking. I started to cook when I was already 18, but i have always loved food and eating. I learned from my own and YT videos
I loved this show! Every episode felt like a hug. Looking forward for season two after this quarantine.
as a vegetarian this whole thing was super tough to watch but i sat through it and if that doesn't prove how lovely this show is i don't know what does
yeah same here! 😓 i love the show and the editing and the crew, just felt uncomfy seeing the meat. but still really fascinated to learn.
The spring roll with spam that Steven made reminded me sooooo much of the nem nuong rolls I get from a local restaurant here in central California that I am literally so in love with and rarely get to order so now I'm here just bitterly craving them whilst also overjoyed that Steven Lim and I have similar pallettes.
AHHHH this series is definitely my favorite from your channel!!! thank you so much for continuing this series♡ hope everyone stay healthy!!!
hands down my fave watcher series :) it always makes me so happy to learn about the cultural variation behind different dishes !! please keep making them :)
Cathy Nguyen doesn't age istg she looks like she's stuck at 25
Nah she aged. She is like a real lady now compares to that college image with wongfu
@@duyman8198 in that case, aged like fine wine
How old is she?
IcyboyG she’s 31
She’s Asian. She will look like this till she’s 70. Then boom....she will look 90
Sending mad love to all the restaurant people in this vid! You'll find a way past this pandemic ❤
Thank you. I certainly hope so!
11:46 "You are killing me! Just chew and swallow bruh!" Steven is adorable hahaha
Steven: I love any beef bony soup
Me, the Russian: .... borscht?
school has me so stressed and these vids always let me unwind. i appreciate them a lot, thank you
Such a beautiful show to come back to over and over again. I hope that once safe to make, we can have more seasons! Also I’m still in awe by how much work goes into the food. As someone who didn’t get much home cooking and struggles on where to get started on my own, it’s been a treat to see how other cultures handle food/meals.
Omg I love pho so much thank you for this episode. Quyen if you're out there reading this, I miss your after work pho Fridays so much! Great memories 😭
I loved this :) These dishes are all so wonderful, and I love seeing the behind-the-scenes of what goes into making them! And of course, the people behind the food put so much care into it all and it's great to see their stories unfold with the food.
I’m vegetarian and cringed at a lot preparation bits but I love this show so much I couldn’t stop watching! It’s so homey and calming I just love it so much, I hope that when the pandemic calms down there will be a season 2 can’t wait!
the nostalgia is oozing out this video, and I wholeheartedly embrace it, especially the act break with the goi cuon.
Okay, but this show literally always has me drooling.
"paid for by State Farm" Jake from State Farm is that you
I don't usually watch any foody prep type videos but this was entertaining and delicious. I like how they go to a restaurant then try to make the homemade version. More please!
This was a beautiful episode, Steven. Can't wait until you guys can make more 💙💙💙
I loved the video, I always enjoy learning about the food and traditions of other cultures. I was wondering if you could one day do an episode on a polish dish (rosoł, pierogi, pączki) I have never really seen polish food or culture be talked about in the US and it would be really amazing to see it talked about on a major and known youtube channel.
I second this! I have a polish friend and a slovakian friend who made homemade pierogi one time and I keep thinking how amazing it would be to have a pierogi episode
I’d love some pierogi’s
@@tatiyanaross8664 yes!! like the dumpling episode talked about, everywhere has their own kind of dumplings :) pierogis are great!
I would love to watch that!! Im so intrigued about European food.
Awesome and enjoyable show.
I am missing my weekly hobby of trying out new pho places around my city because of the quarantine. This has inspired me to try making this at home. All the work will eat up time for sure.
The colors look so nostalgic. I love the way this video looks!
This was a wonderful episode. High quality production, great hosts and chefs and super entertaining. Thank you!! Just subscribed!!
i exclusively speak the southern dialect of vietnamese, so hearing all these viet words and terms in the northern dialect threw me off for several minutes, ngl dlkfjsdlkf
but it's so nice to see an ep focused on viet dishes like this! always nice to see our cuisine appreciated, thank you for this :)
I've really loved this show, hope you guys get to bring it back once it’s safe to do so 💕
when I was on living abroad, and I couldn't really eat their spicy foods... my friends took me to pho.... it was amazing that I wanted to cry back then
I've had so many coworkers & friends (Asian & even some only Scandanavian) talk about pho. I've been so curious to know what it's all about. This looks delicious! And as always, this series has been so wholesome & educational!
Sees the notification and immediately stops doing homework and clicks on the video love watcher ❤️
I love this series and would love to see it renewed. It feels like this is really in Steven's element and it's nice to see him hosting this series :)
Looked delightful. I’m sad that the world is closed and I can’t go to one of these restaurants.
I love these episodes, One of my favourite food videos out there right now!
This was a wonderful episode. High quality production, great hosts and chefs and super entertaining. Thank you!!
This was fantastic to eat my burrito lunch to. I needed a nice brain break from my presentation. More wholesome Steven Lim and guests, please.
You guys should start a series of Steven going to cooking school!
It would be lovely if he starts recreating the meals he learned!
Steven looks so natural with any hair color.
Anna Owen hot ppl should be ill*gal😂😂😂😂😐
Every time I watch this show all I want is the food they make, ughhh Love it so much!!
This was so informative and well made. I am so proud of you guys. Please do more! This was so much fun to watch!! Feels like Steven is really in his element here and I love that.
This warms my Vietnamese heart ❤ I wish they'll explore my country's cuisine more and would try more diverse traditional dishes rather than the ones that had already been well-known to the American population!
i love this series so much!!! i hope it comes back soon!! i wish i learned my grandma’s filipino food recipes before she got dementia, but this series inspired me to start trying!
ok this is one of the best watcher episodes yet. homemade is such a good show.
17:30 Cathy saying "I'm focusing" to Steven trying to talk while she's cutting is hilarious lol
Steven, you're the best! I love this show. I love your positivity and awesomeness! Keep up the inspiring work!
I waited til 1am for this season finale I wanna cry :( homemade be back pho us soon pls
Even though I'm late in watching this, I'm really amazed by the timer that he did with the chicken cause it's actually pretty convenient to do. I like this episode.
My mouth watered through this whole episode. Thanks Steven and crew for showing us a yummy and amazing part of your culture! I love pho and may take a crack at it sometime during the rest of lockdown!
This is literally one of my FAVORITE FOOD EVER!!
Homemade is my favorite series on Watcher, hands down.
When using subs at 13:42
"very minimal (speaks in foreign language) " aha I think the word we're looking for is accoutrements :)
Loved this vid! So great that pho is being shared and celebrated!
No one:
Steven cutting chicken: Follow da riddim
I love this show, pls bring it back 💛
I love homemade so much, it makes me so happy and hungry. It’s so wholesome! I’ve only had pho at a nearby restaurant and while it’s amazing, it sounds sooo different than the pho in this episode and I really want to try these kinds now. 😭
I would love to see a homemade episode with Pozole, it’s my favorite food!
Oh gosh, seeing Cathy makes me nostalgic for those old Wong Fu sketches she did.
I love this show so much, and I hope we get to see more of it some day!
I love this show, I hope you can make further episodes when this pandemic has cooled down. Greetings and stay safe and healthy everyone!
These videos make me miss my grandma’s cooking so much! Unfortunately she isn’t able to cook anymore but one of her specialties was andagi; Okinawan fried donuts. I’ve tried to make them myself but I still can’t get the technique down of dropping balls of the dough into the oil by hand only. She also used poi sometimes which made them even better!
We need Andrew on this show
Sup Noodle is my favorite Pho restaurant! I’m so excited to see them featured here.
First time stumble upon this show and this is amazing. Here to show the support so hopefully it will get renewed!
