2. JunsKitchen
It is a truth universally acknowledged (ok by ‘universally’, we mean Chope) that the two best-loved things in the world are great food and adorable animals.

You’ll get to see the entire tantalising process, from picking ingredients and making his own udon to the final product. Not into Japanese food? You should still watch anyway, to catch a glimpse of his fabulous feline Haku hanging around every step of the way.
