I've always had an affinity, going back to my childhood, for Martin Yan for his cleaver style and catchphrase "If Yan can cook, so can you".

There are videos of that guy taking apart a whole chicken in 12 seconds.

Just a truly impressive level of skill.

(IIRC, the cleaver is actually a Chinese chef's knife, different in construction from western meat cleavers which are thicker and heavier to chop through bone.)

True PBS does rock. Food Network HAD some value a while back but it's turned into reality TV which blows.

My local PBS station reruns 1970's Justin Wilson episodes in the middle of the night. Pure awesomeness.

Don't forget Jose Andres!
