Henry Phillips’ Henry’s Kitchen Is Back and Now Putting on a “Masterclass”

October 22, 2018

cooking, fail, henry phillips, henry's kitchen, masterclass, thrillist

If the myth of Sisyphus were translated into a modern day form (that also happened to be one of the funniest things on the Internet), it just might be Henry Phillips and his existential laden attempts at hosting a cooking show.

That show, of course, is called Henry’s Kitchen and is indeed one of our all time favorite web series and just got a whole new lease on life via Thrillist to do a “Masterclass”. In it, Henry gets an even nicer kitchen to ponder point of it all while doing his best with/botching whatever he’s cooking.

Dive in with this first entry Green Onions and then a whole row of new eps here.

If you want to see how daft comedy can truly get (in the best way possible of course, done by very talented, clever folks), you might want to catch Brendon Small and Brendon Walsh’s BREN2ON (pronounced BREN-TU-DIN) at the end of this month (Tuesday, May 29th at 8PM) at Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Cafe.

Brendon and Brendon really push the limits of how silly and dumb they can get (i.e. prank calls, DIY crafts, etc.) and, in a unique way, it’s brilliant. Also, the amazing Morgan Murphy, Henry Phillips, and Jamie Loftus will be joining them as well.

Tickets are $5 and you can (and really should) get them here.

Henry’s Kitchen, The Best/Saddest Cooking Show, Returns with a Recipe for Cherry Bon Bons

We really think Food Network or the Cooking Channel is really missing out by not having Henry Phillips’ cooking show Henry’s Kitchen on in their late night/early morning programming.

Sure, the recipes may not go according to plan and the chef may seem lonelier than anyone you know, but that’s kind of what makes the show great.

Watch the latest episode that “shows” how to “make” Cherry Bons Bons.
