Vintage Chef Video: Mad Slicing Skills!
ByOk, we admit it, while waiting for our amazing video camera to become a reality, after reviewing thousands of chef videos, we are becoming quite the chef video critics. And, while learning how to hone skills by watching cooking videos can be fun inside itself, there is something to be said for amusement value while watching. Which is, by the way, why we love watching Average Betty videos!
Again, we digress! Tonight we’ve stumbled upon Archive.org, which is an amazing library of both new and public domain vintage videos. So, we thought, hey, why not have a vintage chef videos collection? Just to mix it up once in a while?
This video is hilarious, it’s a vintage unnamed chef infomercial of a crazy WC Fields type wannabe with some mad slicing skills, shilling for a 12 piece cutlery set. A must see!!


that was an awesome clip, I cannot slice like that
OH wow! That video is mesmerizing. I remember my had tools like that a long time ago. Whatever happened to these products? Do they still make them?
Woot! Thanks for the shout out Heidi! And for teaming me up with this hilarious vintage video! That guy has a gadget for everything… and seeing that old Campbell’s Bean can is classic!

That is so cool! Yes, I would like a set in my kitchen today! That was a great promotion back then
I think I’m going to talk like this from now on!
Thanks Jesse, Ben, Average Betty and Debo Hobo!! I was worried that I was the only one to think this was a riot! Thanks for watching!
And Anand, I’m sure you will need to beat the ladies off with a stick if you attempt that!
