This woman is so humble and very talented. I love to watch the reruns of “A Chef’s Life.” I’m watching them again right now on PBS. Delicious recipes!! ❤

I’m making your tomato pie tonight Vivian. My mother was born and raised in Sampson County and we went down there all the time to my grandparents farm along with all her 8 brothers and sisters and all the cousins. The Good Old Days. 1960’s America

My number one bucket list is to meet Vivian Howard and Ben. I watched them on PBS and enjoyed the show. I would love to meet everyone from the show. I am homebound been disabled since 24. I love to cook. But challenged due to my health I have a paralyzed hand and arm. I want to take a road-trip from GA to NC. I miss watching them on Sat morning. If I ever get to go anywhere on vacation it’s to go eat at both of their restaurants. I want to go meet Ms Mary. Not sure if they all still around since it’s been several years since I watched. Anyone want to take a road trip??? I can’t drive since my brain surgery

You look great Vivian❤Here from Supply NC

. Vivian you always put 150 % in what ever you do.like a chefs life on tv that I loved

She’s great. We are sad her and Ben separated. But she is a fabulous cook and a good person. We ate at Chef and the Farmer. Great food. The cookbooks are great. All naysayers can get lost. She’s a human being. She’s not perfect. But we wish her all the best.

I use to dream of going to see you in the chef and the farmer and would love to have been able to cook with you for you cause I believe you have lots to teach people love your style and your philosophy of cooking

I bought the $75 short rib from Viv's Fridge. One of the best beef dishes I've ever had, but as a lover of beef the dish that was supposed to serve 3 or 4, actually served 1: Me. 😀

God bless you pretty lady, God made you beautiful, God bless your future and family in Jesus name

Love the concept of a farmers fridge. I’m going to to try to pass this concept here in Cornwall Ontario to council. For chefs cooks butchers bakeries etc. turn those fridges into vending machine. Love this idea big time especially good healthy foods for one especially as I’m retired Also adding a delivery service attached to that as I don’t drive.

Hi Vivian loved seeing I was thinking about you today looking for your / Ms. daisies beef cabbage casserole dish which I found on utube. How are you looking forward in seeing you. How is your mom

Good to see you are coming back. I live in Cornwall Ontario Canada I loved watching all your guests on the show the farmers in particular and loved seeing your parents as well. Hope you are all well and I’m sure your kids are getting to be quite big now.. I loved the feel of the chef and the farmer. Real down to earth and stuff I want to cook. Hugs

Love your ideas. vivian, did the fridge concept stem from covid, or is it just anatural progression to use foods that are sustainable food that will last. Wish they had this in cornwall ontario. It's just like a vending machine with high-quality food for four. Im 66 hard to cook for one person and would love this here. Years ago, i use to dream of cooking along with you in your restaurant for free as a volunteer just to learn, and im a fast learner. Congrats viviaan

Never heard Heard of vid’s fridge. Ever thought of selling them as frozen dishes. I always look for one person meals at my age.

I think you designed my dream home. I love your house, Viviane

So cool! Love you Viv, and love yall's show! I watch it all the time on PBS/KERA 13.3 here in Big D (Dallas, TX). I only wish there were more episodes.

You look great such a pretty lady. Great talent

I liked how Vivian deflected the host’s tangent silliness about lactose intolerant PC talk and also countered the mansplaining about ChatGPT - “I’m sure I could tell you a lot about that …”. Vivian projects knowledge, humor and control. I wished we could have had more from Vivian than the amount of patter from the hosts. Perhaps run this recording through an AI tool to see the amount of speaking time that the hosts had and the amount of time Vivian had. Still, I’m appreciative of the hosts and Vivian in making this recording. I have both of your cookbooks and enjoyed watching your tv shows via KZfaq as I’m living outside of the US. They brought up for me nice memories from my US Southern upbringing.

I’ve never heard of Vic’s fridges until now.

Making your beef and cabbage casserole dish for my family. I get too cook for them once a month. They cook for me once a week. It’s nice as I don’t cook for others to often at my age anymore so I’m always looking for simple tasty family recipes. Oh and my son in law doesn’t like cabbage but I’m sure he’ll eat this casserole dish I’m going to make next Monday.

In Ottawa ontario in a large mall there is a bakery that offers slices of cake they bake each day so some tings are similar here in Canada.

Yes smart fridges could tell you that you have used 4 of the 10 brisket and mash for example . Or each time one of the foods gets removed it lets the person that needs to fill it aware of what is getting low to restock.

A la carte

Servings 2, 4 or 6 and see which sells best

I just watched this KZfaq edition and in the past loved "A Chefs Life" - Vivian looks and sounds completely unfocused. What happened? I loved her show, but she looks lost!
