Lukas Seely here, I am a comedian and foodie. I have always loved food, who doesn't love food?...but one of my favorite foods is "Noodles!"
I could not imagine life without noodles. Everything from the taste to the texture...everything about noodles I absolutely LOVE!....our brains look like noodles...so that must mean something.
Every week on Tuesday I will post a video on "How to Cook" I will cover all types of noodles from everywhere in the world, Chinese, Italian, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese....everything noodles.
(A little backround of how I became a foodie and my family)
My family escaped from a communist government in Laos (South East Asia) and came to America to live the American dream. My parents arrived to the U.S with no college education, $5 dollars in their pocket and 4 children (I wasn't born yet....until about 8 months later...I wonder what my parents did to celebrate their coming to the U.S? )
Anyways, since our family was poor my mom made Laotian food for people at the church to thank them for sponsoring us to come to America and being so kind and welcoming. Instantly my moms food became a hit...mostly her eggrolls...but she made fried noodles too.
After becoming a hit at local street fairs and farmer's markets...my parents decided to open up a restaurant...I was about 11 yrs old at the time.....and that's when I started working at the restaurant.....which was no biggie considering I had been working for my parents since I was like 9 (Asian are quick to put their kids to work). So Monday-Saturday I was always at the restaurant.....working and eating......and that's when my love for noodles began.
When I was younger I didn't understand that Top Ramen Noodles was not a rich man's food.....I thought it was delicious, I always added veggies, ya know...class it up a little bit. Then I tried Olive Garden and became a huge fan of pasta dishes...my favorite...."Fettuccine Alfredo" Oh my was that one of the best things on earth!!!!
As I got older and started traveling the country doing stand-up comedy, I would always go and try soe type of local join that had noodles, everything from Chinese Lo-Mein, to Italian, to Thai Noodles to Vietnamese Pho Noodles...just everything noodles.
Now I want to share with world and other noodle enthusiast...what I've learned along the way.
I hope to show how to cook great noodles dishes and at the same time make it funny and entertaining....( a lot of cooking shows are so boring and people annoy the crap out of me)
So let's do this!!!! Every Tuesday...I will post a video and the recipe here.......if you like something...share it.......spread the word to all Noodle Lovers.......Welcome to "Everything Noodles"
