I love this movie so much, I bought his cookbook, and one of his daughter's books

This is my all-time favorite documentary. I watch it a few times a year. I have Kenny's book, a Shopsins menu printed on a decorative towel, and this little plastic stencil for "make your own spaghetti and meatballs" art. All were available to buy from them online a year or so ago.

If you download the MKV it should have subtitles available, but let me know if it doesn't!

Is there a version with subtitles (sorry I have hearing issues which makes it hard to follow the words)

One of my all-time favorite docs. Bought his cookbook. Famous for his pancakes. He uses Aunt Jemima frozen batter! “It’s HOW you cook them, not WHAT you use.” Wow. Highly recommend this doc.

It's OK to not be so fucking perfect.
I think about that all the time.

Interesting, I haven't seen that anywhere. Just that it was at Sundance

I may be way wrong, but I think this the first piece of original content that Netflix produced.

The cookbook is a fun ride, too.

His cookbook “Eat Me” is worth checking out.

His place was incredible. A tiny kitchen churning out an impossible number of different dishes that, in my experiences, did not have a loser among them.
Once I was eating alone in there and he was casually bullshitting around chatty until a guy and girl came in and started taking pictures of everything. He then fixated on the guy with an honestly scary intensity. After a while he walked over and just said, "maybe this isn't the place for you." The couple thought he was joking and tried to laugh it off. He 100% was not joking. They left all but quaking in their boots.
It was strange because I loved the place and always had a terrific, unique time that WAS Kenny for better or in the case of the couple, for worse. There wasn't a filter. Few places exist like that anymore.

A buddy took me here a long time ago. I used to work in advertising but my pal was a connoiseur (sic) of all the old New York "jernts". so glad i got to experience it once in my life.

Ok at least I can finally accept this truth.
I remember it being normal, but I do not trust my memory. It could have just been like this.

Yeah, I think the video is legitimately just like that. I kind of like it, adds to the authenticity
I rented the DVD from Movie Madness here in Portland, OR!

I ripped this straight from the DVD, I would say it's the best quality available. The YouTube one is compressed to shit

Thanks for the kind and polite reply. I'm always afraid of being attacked for pointing something like that out, you know, Reddit. I would want someone to let me know though so I shared with you fine human.

So what the fucks the deal? Does a non-choppy version of this documentary just NOT exist?

I randomly stumbled across this the first time on Netflix around 12 years ago. It's the only place I've ever seen it.
