You Don't Know Yan

I don't have cable anymore for two reasons.
1) I refuse to give my money to Comcast  because they are THE DEVIL
2) I don't want to spend my free time watching Real Housewives or Jersey Shore - I've got better things to do (now, admittedly, if it's on, I'll watch, but I'd rather not give myself that option)

People ask me all the time "HOW DO YOU DO NOT HAVE CABLE?", "HOW DO YOU DO IT??"

Dude, it's not that hard. It's just TV. I will survive.

It's also easy to shake because I didn't have cable growing up. My parents were either too cheap or too confused about the whole thing, so I ended up watching ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS or PBS. Those were the options.

On the Today Show this morning, Martin Yan, one of my FAVORITE CHEFS WITH A TV SHOW EVERRR, was on making Phoenix & Dragon for Chinese New Year. I used to love watching Yan Can Cook on PBS. If I remember correctly, he was on after Julia Child on the weekends. I would actually make a point of watching his show. Not only did his food look amazing, but he always looked like he was having a blast and his audience really got into it too.

I mentioned Martin Yan to my friend this morning and she had no idea who he was. Am I the only one who used to watch Yan Can Cook on PBS? C'mon! There must be more Yan Fans!
