   WOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations 😀

   because you’re awesome.

   duh.

   (sidenote: you should TOTALLY make a celebratory drink/edible treat episode. i’m down for anything involving rum/cheese. Not together please…although my mind is wandering in the direction of flambeed rum-my onions over fondue. I haven’t decided if that sounds gross or not. But then I’m a little crazy).

     WhooHoo, Adey!!!!! 🙂 THANK YOU!!!!

     Sidenote: I should mos’ def’ do something that lights on FIRE! Like a flambe! Flambeed cheese! Also, I think you’re on to something with this rum/cheese thing. Maybe spiced rum and some apples, too? I can’t decide if I just made it grosser or better.
     I think the fact that we can’t tell if it’s going to be gross or not means that one of us will have to try it. You first! 😉

    This is totally awesome Hilah!!! Of course it’s hard to believe that anyone that has had the pleasure of watching your show would be surprised that you were chosen . I am drinking an ice cold Shiner Bock in your honor as I type! You Rock!

    Yay! I think you’d win if you went back to the original signature music. The newer tune sounds like a goth death march and might put people off.

      Thanks! It’s not a competition now, though. 16 people were chosen to go through the program to learn to make our videos better.

    I didn’t need no NEXT CHEF to tell me your show was one of the best. As I have said before you seem like a REAL person and the food you cook looks deeeelish.
    Keep up the good work

    I was looking at some of the other YouTube Next Chefs and saw that the winners just got additional surprise tchotchkes from YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdbVeLVSMq0&feature=youtu.be&a Impressive!
