Replying to a redditor:

> Binging with Babish when he first started posting his cooking videos on Reddit Wow my first Reddit reward. I honestly have you to thank for fostering a new love of cooking

> That's a really lovely thing to read when you've just finished shooting your first episode of the new year. Thank you for sticking with me!
