Watch This : The Bear-Naked Chef
(photo : Brandon Roberts)
Do you cook at home? Do you use recipe books to help you out with your cooking? Well, you might no longer need them… Chef Adrian De Berardinis just launch his website and YouTube channel and he is not like any other Chefs : He cooks naked! He only wears an apron to protect his private parts. Why naked? “Cooking naked sets me free. When I cook I’m in my most primal state of mind so it made total sense to execute it in the buff” says De Berardinis.
Needless to say that he became instantly popular throughout the web. In less than two weeks, De Berardinis already has around 350,000 views for his first video and over 10,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
Not only he is handsome, furry and chiseled but he is single! I definitely need him in my life!
Check out his first video below and let me know your thoughts!
Dave
Love the video, chef and food both look Yummy
I’d like to take this opportunity to announce that Adrian and I are engaged. Unofficially, of course.
einathens: Not what I read online…he is VERY single.
He might be single but ibet he is pickie as hell
He’s pretty ugly, actually. It’s very dangerous to cook naked. You can get burned very easily by splashes and spills. Maybe his tacky tattoos are hiding burns.
Baron : Really?
That made my day.
I really paid attention.
I do the same thing at home, cooking in the nude is very refreshing
Why naked? “It’s a gimmick to get more views on youtube.”
mike : yeah thats the idea i Think, but why not :)?
So I don’t think he is unattractive….he isn’t my type but he looks fine. My concern with cooking naked is hair. Its bad enough to have a bread but all of that chest hair exposed worries me. But it’s a fun idea if you are doing it with your partner or something – but ain’t will agree with Baron that spills and burns in the kitchen make cooking naked all.the time a dangerous activity
He’s not naked! He’s wearing an apron and socks…..I hear Paula Deen is doing the same thing on her new show!
The things people will do for attention these days. SMH
Suddenly, I’m interested in new recipes again, after years or boredom!
blog: because it’s unsafe
I propose a naked cookoff challenge in his or my kitchen. No cameras, though, while I slather him with chocolate and lick it off his luscious body.
I’d be eating him as he was preparing the food.
I find him extremely grotesque. He is very amateur and non appealing. Lost my appetite. Lol
He’s way out of my league!
He could cook for me anytime. Maybe he could be the dessert!
Dave, I’ll answer your question “Why not ?”. I actually think its neither why nor why not. He is free to do whatever he wants, and hey, am a proponent of freedom of speech and doing what you want, but quite frankly, I thought cooking naked was a gimmick because the content wasn’t ground breaking. There are hundreds and hundreds of cooking clips out there and it seems that cooking naked is a way of taking the person’s eyes away from this. The content is alright. Nothing ground breaking. So how do you get people to be more interested ? Let’s cook naked. It seems a little shallow. It’s like a teacher at school who wants to get good evaluations and rather than looking at the content she’s teaching or the way she teaches, she dresses provocatively and acts all bubbly to distract away from the fact she’s not a good teacher….and huzzah she gets good evaluations just cause’s she’s FUNNEH.
I couldn’t focus on his cooking and I couldn’t see much because we got a constant shot after shot from different angles. One second we get a shot of his ass, then a sideways one, then we get a shot of just his face and chest, then a far away shot behind the counter. It was distracting and I was wondering “Is this a cooking clip or a photo shoot ?” :-S
The guy is incredibly good looking and hot, and he could have had his shirt on and I would have watched him if I got a still shot from the waist up and he was looking at the camera, explaining things and we got a shot here and there of what he was doing.
Check out Laura Vitale or Rachel Ray for example. They look at the camera. They engage you with them. You follow with them because they focus on you. How many sideways shots did we get of Adrian where he was facing forward such as 0:27 or 0:43. It was distracting, couldn’t feel engaged. If his clip was sort of like Vitale’s, where he talked directly to the camera and the camera moved with his movement, with a little smile, I woulda melted and would have been 100% with him, what he says and what he does.
Just my personal opinion.
Shades: Yes but this is not a chef for the masses, its a gay chef obviously targeting a gay audience….
Kinda of attractive guy but his tatoos are GROSS. Nice butt plus he seems to know what he is doing since I cook that dish the same way.
I didn’t pay any attention to what he was cooking and what the recipe was. Was it chicken or beef…..lol.
Yeah, Dave….he’s “VERY single”. His visage just SCREAMS “circuit boy!”
Handsome and all.
But he lost me by cooking animal flesh. Blegh.
I would like to sample his sausage and eggs along with his hot cakes
Reminded me of this classic DA column:
Dear Abby: My wife sleeps in the raw. Then she showers, brushes her teeth and fixes our breakfast — still in the buff. We’re newlyweds and there are just the two of us, so I suppose there’s really nothing wrong with it. What do you think? —Ed
Dear Ed: It’s O.K. with me. But tell her to put on an apron when she’s frying bacon.
yes he and the food look fantastic
Cooking naked is not only dangerous, but completely unsanitary. There is a good reason all professional chefs wear clothes, gloves and a hat or hair net. Lastly, chicken cacciatore has a tomato based sauce with basil & oregano. There are no potatoes or rosemary or red peppers. The Hungarian version includes tiny meatballs and it’s often served over pasta or rice. I think this guy is just looking for attention. There was a show: The naked chef. He cooked everything from fresh ingredients, but always dressed.
Sorry but I must;
WHERE’S THE BEEF?
What a Handsome Italian bear naked chef. Woof.
Dave: I am aware of that. But once the gay boys get over his sexiness and come across another sexy hunk that takes away their attention from Adrian, what’s next ?
All I am saying is if he would be more engaging with the viewer, more focused on the viewer, people may feel more interested even beyond his good looks and so a lot would stick around after the 3rd or 4th clip once the naked cooking novelty wears off. I am hardly the only one who said he sounded rehearsed, rigid and cold. Check the comments below. Also several did mention how the changing perspectives and shots were distracting and because some of these shots were taken from a distance that affected the audio. Adrian was not wearing a mic so when we wasn’t facing the camera he was a little harder to hear over the sound of the cooking.
I was checking him out last night, and he’s awesome ! He’s not just a chef, he is also a stylist and owns his own salon…AN ENTREPRENEUR. I am just saying I could see so much potential of him being a very kick ass gay version of Aaron Marino, a role model of a successful and hot gay guy. I would totally tune it every single video if he would smile a little at the camera, talk about some of his favorite utensils in the kitchen, the necessary items he thinks everyone should have in the kitchen, his experiences in being an entrepreneur, etc.
oh and of course cook more lol
like Ggg, he can cook for me anytime ! …. please no peppers, but I’d probably eat anything else he had/made !
Unsanitary and unsafe…kitchens are potentially dangerous places…if his food were that good bed be able to keep his clothes on
I like bacon … but
