That affable-yet-disquieting eternal grin into the camera is the icing on the cake.

the eternal grin is the best part. I was expecting more use of power tools after the watermelon one, but no, had to wait until he was digging his barbecue pit for power tools again.

This man is nothing if not efficient in the use of time.

Missing an upended bottle of vodka?

I love watching people do things they both clearly enjoy doing, and enjoy other people watch them doing.

Within reason.

I think this is within reason.

But like, would you be entirely shocked if one of those meats were people? I mean, that grin.

Hah, before even clicking the links I knew who this had to be. Only seen him in Reddit gifs until now. That stare and grin made me stop scrolling the timeline each time he appeared, but I only now realized I had never clicked through to find out his name, or the fact that the recipes were specifically Turkish and Lebanese. Thanks for the post!
