"There's more to a table than just the legs that hold it up. It's a family that binds it together" That's a nice quote

Kent has a KZfaq channel called "Cowboy Kent Rollins", where he showcases really good recipes.

“You can’t get full on fancy.” 😂 wise words to live by.

I grew up poor, never went hungry. I love his commentary.

I was visiting a friend in a rest home once and met this lady who was badly crippled up with arthritus. She was about 85 years old and just full of laughter and energy to visit and talk. My friend kept falling asleep during the visit and I would sit quietly with him- he wasn't long for our side of heaven. Anyway, this old gal came over struggling with her wheelchair and introduced herself. She asked if I played rummy. I said I did, she produced a deck and we began to pass the time. Oh, she had a wonderful way of telling her story. She was born on a ranch in 1890 in Eastern New Mexico, out in rugged cattle country south of Vaughn. Her dad had been disappointed she was a girl and kind of ignored her. Her mom died when she was very young. But, she learned to cook from the ranch cooks and soon made herself useful. She never went to school- there just weren't any. Her dad died when she was 15 and back in those days girls were not expected to know how to run a ranch, so, it sold off and pretty soon she was homeless and needed a job. Women were supposed to marry, but she didn't want that and went on to find a job on a neighboring ranch as the cook...and she stayed there the rest of her life until she became too stove up with arthritis to continue... They put her in the rest home on social security benefits and there she was. She had absolutely nothing in her room but little things the other "guests" had given her. I had an old color TV at home and brought it to her- OMG! She was so happy over that. I paid for cable for her, too- at the time it was only $14.00 a month, so no big deal. My friend finally passed but I would still come and visit her. We traded recipes (You can imagine I was the only one benefiting from that - She was such a great cook and storyteller. I was just fascinated by her. One day I came in to see her and they had her up walking hanging onto the handrails in the hall. She was so tired and hurting, but still full of joy- "He, Jay- Look at me. I've walked ten steps today!" I came by a few weeks later and she was gone. They told me she had quietly passed away in the night. No one called me and she was already buried. No one went to her funeral. I went out and put some flowers down on her site, spent $400.00 on a little stone marker for her. Under her name I had them carve, "Ranch Cook". I know she would have been glad of that. There is something about ranch life and living that close to the land that just makes good people.

I'm not a religious man, but I'd still say that the world is a better and richer place for people like Kent and Shannon Rollins. Their food looks amazing and I'd love to attend one of their cooking schools.

This reminds of the days I use to work summers at my grandfather's ranch in Mexico. I'd hate waking up before dawn and would work for hours,but whenever I'd hear my grandmother yell that breakfast was ready it always brought a tear to my eye. Also I earned my meal through hard work 😓

“Cows eat grass and I eat cow...So I guess that makes me a vegetarian.” 😂

Eggs, sausage, gravy and biscuits; the four main food groups.

Sad to see this way of life disappearing! What have we done to ourselves? Thank u all for the hard work and dedication...

"Are there vegetarian cowboys" *Loud wheezing*

*_"Can't get full on fancy"_* Indeed

Dear CBS, More stories like this. Thank you, -J.

Kent is the man been following him for like a year now glad hes being recognized on sunday morning

The cook has a nice KZfaq channel, and a wonderful polite sense of humor...

"Thank the lord that there's still wide open country"... wow, that says so much in so little words......

I found the secret ending to Red Dead Redemption 2

I grew up poor but never knew it. I ate like a king. My mom cooked with cooking knowledge by cowboys . 🙏🏻

Nice, old school reporting. Good videography. A dying artform.

Real people like Kent and his bride make this country amazing

We need more people like this guy and his wife here in America. God Bless these folk and all the cowboys.

I camp a LOT, so I have used a lot of instant coffee. The first time I watched one of Kent’s videos was on making Cowboy Coffee. I don’t use as much instant coffee anymore! Thanks Kent!😉🙃

I just found Cowboy Kent's channel last week and have been hooked ever since. I have so much respect for this man. You cant fake being the real deal!

From My Mexican Family god bless you fellas. It really touch me when he said the speech that everybody got to eat. My family can relate

Cowboy Kent Rollins! This guy is a national treasure

Just stumbled on his channel yesterday. Now watching his story here, you appreciate what he’s doing.

that man is the last of his kind. the ranch hand cook. not many can do what he does and stir have his life,love and zeal for life. he has so much respect from me, not many people have that.

"There's more to a table than just the legs that hold it up, it's a family that binds it together" Man...Kent's deep. Also, the guy's view on food and cooking makes him such a down-to-earth fellow

Everyone should sub to his KZfaq channel called Cowboy Kent Rollins.

I live in the southeastern corner of Oklahoma where we have mountains and pine trees. In Western Oklahoma where he's at, it's the total opposite and the wind blows 24/7. Where I'm at there are still cowboys, but most of them use gas powered four wheelers to round up the cows. It's nice to see people keeping the old traditions alive like Kent is doing.

God bless the cowboys

If you think there aren't real cowboys anymore you haven't been Texas, no I'm not talking Dallas or Houston, I'm talking Odessa, Dumas, whitesboro, El Paso, or just about any small town in between.

"Americans don't have a culture" Me: That wasn't very yeehaw of you

Humble respect from France, beautiful America............

This makes me feel good.

I gained an accent watching this

Thank you for keeping the "cowboy culture" alive. As my grandmother used to say, "the girls dress in Plainview and the cowboys go to Seymour ."

Kent rollins and his lovely bride are some of the most authentic people out there. Watch a few of his videos on KZfaq, you won't be disappointed. The world needs a heck of a lot more people like them. Hats off to you Rollins family!

you cant get full on fancy. very true

Im no cowboy or rancher but i love biscuits n gravy and chicken fried steak. Mmmmmm.

Reminds me of my visiting my grandma and grandpa’s farm back home in Indiana. After watching just a couple of his videos I got a cast iron skillet and cooked my first steak in it. Hard to describe the memories something so simple brought back.

We need more great people like Kent Shannon and the rest of these cowboys in our world!!😍😍😍😍😍😍

This guy has the best cooking channel on You-Tube!!!

South African from Boer (farmer/pioneer) stock here. My old man's fondest memories were from working in the Lone Star state. Said you fellers' used to use hose pipes to quench the pit fires when big old Texan steaks. He also said to me that the day I emigrate up north to the land of the free I should plant my roots in Texas.

We have men like this still in the American West - Godly strong fellas in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, NM, AZ, Texas, OK and other places too. God Bless America Show correct, not as many cattle drives now as 30 yrs ago BUT Kent makes good living teaching in books, classes and sales. luv ya’ll 💕

I love this. Kent and Shan have such strong, good hearts. These videos show a lot of love in all different ways. ❤️

This reminds me of how it must've been for my great grandparents. They cooked for the railroad workers here in Western North Carolina who cleared the land & built the tracks. Country cooking.

We all have so much in common, we vaqueros along the Mexican borders have been doing this as well for hundreds of years and still going strong. 👏 Kent is a beautiful human being, reminds me so much of my great vaquero uncle abelardo (abe). They look so much alike in so many ways. Long live the vaqueros, viva kent.

He may not own the title chef but that good man can cook food that you will love and wakes the sun. I imagine he could make garden soil tast palatable. I watch his videos on youtube and have his cookbook.

I love the way you make your food. I was trained in French and raised on Italian (thanks to my grandmother) and my girlfriend is Asian, so I eat her food and at the same time, I attempt to educate her on American and Western cuisine,

Kent Rollins is one of my favorites to see on KZfaq. Makes good food, does good work, and he reminds me of many folks I've known for years.

Kent Rollins youtube channel is one of few things i truly enjoy during my week.

Such a wholesome way of living! It denotes a sense of freedom that isn't too common these days. What I'd give to get out of the rat race, especially life in the UK! I'd happily turf myself out of bed during the small hours for a shot at some of that good food!

I love Kent and Shannon Rollins channel and always checks out their latest recipes and use many of their recipes at home. I was raised primarily in the country and still live here after retiring from both the military, and from the state jobs I had. If I had a family to take care of I would not live in an urban environment as it is tough where living in a rural environment is so much better as Nature provides so much for you to live off of and with the money you make for food you can live really good.

Kent is basically a living legend

This video makes me happy. I'd love to be out there on a horse, cattle, great food and good people and lot's of wide open space !! God bless the cowboys and the people who love them.

“There’s a lot of things he wouldn’t eat before I expanded his palette” 😆

I love Kent Rollins and dearly miss Scott Simon from my daily media feed. Kent always brings the best of ranch life to those of us who aren't fortunate enough to live there, and Scott always brought to my day the most compassionate observations about daily life in all segments of America.

I love watching Cowboy Kent and Mrs. Shannon do their videos, been watching for a long time now and have tried some of the recipes. Y'all keep up the good work cowboys

You MUST buy his book! Well worth the recipes and the Life Wisdom found inside the covers. Great people!

God bless these men, old world values at its finest.

Cowboy Kent Rollins and Shannon are the best ever!! I watch every one of his KZfaq videos as soon as he posts them ❤❤❤❤❤

This put tears in my eyes . It’s so beautiful the country life 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼

everything cooked outside always tastes better !

I love Texas. Everybody is cooking something.

I just subbed to this guy on KZfaq and I didn’t know he was on the news. He has a really good channel and his food looks so dang good.

I'm sorry but I've never been to culinary school, I'm self and mentored into cooking until my title of executive chef. This legend is a world chef like it or not that's how it works. I love his book, his lifestyle and just how he is all around

This is what America is and what it should return to. Good food, good people, good life. Thank you Kent and Shannon

God bless him and his lovely wife. Both have respect towards everyone, Pray and thank the Lord for providing food and another day to live on.

Them two are true gems!

Cowboy Kent Rollins is my favorite KZfaq cooking show. Instead of the ugliness of the major news stations intent on hate and drama, I put on Ken't's shows and have a pleasant downtime before bedtime and I go to bed with untroubled dreams.

Simple and beautiful. Loved! Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Shannon for sharing. May the American Cowboy live forever and much blessings and love.

Kent Rollins this guy was on Chopped Grill Masters season 12 Ep 16, a true legend.

Can't say enough good things about Kent and Shannon, amazing folks working hard to please these hard working Cowboys. Of course, I haven't been on a horse since like 1977...

Kent cooks authentic Mexican food on his KZfaq channel also, massive respect

Hard work is good for the soul -- so is good food when you've earned it! These cowboys know just how to put two and two together! (Love Texas and love that drawl!) Good to see there are a few good people left in our country who enjoy the honest, simpler way of life.

God Bless, Kent and Shannon Rollins for truely keeping the American Spirit alive. I've made it a point to try and folow all of his videos because he cooks with cast iron pots, pans and dutch ovens. Love my cast iron cook ware!!

I wish we can have respect today like those folks

I love watching his videos. Outdoors Camp Cook myself for our Scout Troop. Kent is a great teacher.

Shan and Kent are such outstanding and great personalities...

Kent Rollins has been an inspiration to me for a number of years now. His knowledge of cast iron outdoor cooking is unmatched. BTW, Bertha is NOT cast iron. If she was, she'd have cracked or broken when he set her down the way he did.

I love watching cowboy Kent Rollins, I love his simplicity and pure love for the food he serves, and I’m in a little old town, Evesham in England, good on you cowboy.

Kent and Shannon are a national treasure. God bless you both. ^_^

So nice to hear hear people say prayers before eating. I really enjoyed this video.

This man is from Hollis, Oklahoma. As someone from Oklahoma, I can tell you that Hollis is out in BFE. It is a true cowboy town that is within reach of the massive ranches in West Texas and SW Oklahoma. I’d give a left nut for this man to put a restaurant in Tulsa, but I understand that’ll never happen. He’s an honest to God Okie treasure.

Shannon is so charming, i am so happy to finally see the mystery lady that owns the beautiful voice behind the camera! YOU'RE VERY PRETTY SHANNON!!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!

Thank God theres still real cowboys !! I didnt think i will see real cowboys anymore . as a kid a grow up seen cowboys in movies .my respect to ya guys !

One thing the world could use more of is cowboys.

Protect this man at all costs.

Cowboy Kent is one of my heroes. A fine example for all men to follow.

Kent is a national treasure

Seems pretty fun tbh, I did this as a kid so much fun. We need more people like them

So who would do thumbs down? Kent and his wife are fantastic in this dying art.

I'm from Arkansas and I certainly don't identify with cowboys or country music, but Mr. Rollins seems like a good dude and I sure like his entertaining and authoritative handling of iron.

can’t get full on fancy!!! Couldn’t have said it any better. Amen!!!

these are genuinely good hearted people...rare on this earth

These are the old ways. Bless these people.

"Can't get full on fancy." and "Legs ain't the the only thing holding a dining table up." are my two favourite qoutes of many. 🤞🏾

I live in Maryland which is kind of odd as a state because there are parts of Maryland that look like Texas but also parts that look like D. C. , Growing up my best friend's mom was an amazing cook and her biscuits and sausage gravy was legendary

I discovered this wonderful pair of people by chance on KZfaq. I love watching cooking videos. He is a genuine person and a tremendous cook. I'll call him a Chef because I am a Chef and I know many great Chef's. He is absolutely a Chef in my book!
