That's right! I'm on vacation for the rest of the week, and the beginning of the next, which usually means a lot of rest and relaxation, but not this time. That's because Michele and I are going to be working harder than ever on a major, top secret personal project. No, not a cookbook, or a TV show, or anything else that you'd probably guess, but major nonetheless. We can't share the details just yet, but I can say it's going to be an exciting Fall! In the meantime, enjoy a few reruns, and I'll be back with a new video before you can say, "Kismet."

Can’t wait, enjoy ur time. Thank you for being my inspiration to get back to my passion.
As a person who has spent more time under fluorescent lights,
driving my crew like a possessed effigy of Chucky ( in kitchen whites),
and resigned to the fact that I’m always going to smell a little of salmon, fryolater grease,
and mesquite smoke,I feel like I qualify as a member of the club.
That being said, Chef..Your presentation, humility, humor, horse sense, and flat out repertoire, are
Non Pareil. I’ve never found a more useful blog, anywhere. You are the Joy of Cooking, for legions of Chefs out here. A culinary Swiss Army knife.
You remind me to breathe, remember why I made this my chosen profession to begin with, and show love, care, and pride another (12 hour)
day.
Thank you, Chef John...Truly.
Happy Vacation, John & Michele!
I smell SFBQ arriving shortly :)
I'm guessing a new product launch

Does a tandem bicycle figure in your plans?
Well said Chef Eric.
Chef John is very special to many of us,
I'm guessing a new house, (Kismet)
The major personal project that comes to mind where one would 'work harder than ever on' is.......Parenthood!! :)
enjoy your vacation

You're getting both arms covered with silly cooking tattoos and opening a trendy restaurant naming it The Shaka Shaka.
Hello chef John,
First I want to take the time to tell you how much I enjoy your videos! Sometimes I hear my husband laughing from the other room when hearing one of your jokes.
So, I have a food wish, and I cant find on your list. Lumpias !!! My mom used to make them and I can't do it justice. I'm sure you are a busy man - I wont keep you. I hope you enjoyed your working vacation.
Thanks
Lumpias.... I mean Tina! LOL
OMG! They are family planning! Now they won’t have any time for us for twenty years. Longer if they have a basement.
Enjoy your vacation Chef John and Michelle. No one is more deserving than you are! Is Kismet going to be the name of your new restaurant which will feature Sea Bass Michelle?

My wife and I are glad to see your doing well. We were truly worried about you that We hadn’t seen a new recipe on YouTube in awhile. I’ll have to check the blog post more often.
PLEASE COME HOME WE MISS YOU
You have taught me so much! You are an amazing! Thank you for sharing your gift of teaching and culinary! My husband and I enjoy watch and learning from your videos. What a blessing you are.
Have a great vacation, and you have the nicest commenters on the internet(s). That's a rare treasure.

you will be all rested when you come back, how about rustling up a recipe for Dubliner cream sauce!
my First food wish request.
How can I get a hold of check John to ask his opinion on a couple of cooking techniques the I have been recently introduced to
HAVE A GREAT VACATION! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FALL SURPRISE! HOPE YOU AND MICHELLE GET SOME "RELAX" TIME, YOU BOTH DESERVE IT!!

Dear Chef, I am also a fan of your blog and your YouTube channel. As a matter of a fact, I made watching your vids daily as my New Year Resolution. I have not missed a day. My husband is also a chef from NYC and I am a Kansas girl. You cook clean and fresh just like he does. He doesn’t let me in the kitchen too often. When he does, I make your recipes and they are always a huge hit for friends and family. More importantly, you have taught me proper techniques. That has developed into excellent conversations with my hubby that we would not normally would have had. I appreciate all the cheesy references and bad jokes you make. I actually chuckle from time to time. Of course, like everyone...the voice over is great and calming. It could only be better if you had Morgan Freeman do it...lol. I appreciate that you keep a clean and professional kitchen space. Ultimately, I appreciate that you focus on the food and technique rather than how you look on camera. Can’t wait to see what you have planned.......much appreciation from Kansas.....Jacque
OK, I'm tuning in every day to see what the "top secret project" is.
Big Fan
Enrico
So when is the big announcement?
Hi Chef John, Enjoy your vacation, however much of it will be relaxing. My dad is a huge fan of yours, we can always assume when you tube is on it is your videos. He loves them all and will tell us all about them afterward step by step. His birthday is soon and it would be so amazing to show him a birthday message from you!
