I packed snacks for my parents
Chef Tyler has an airport pickup to make and a case to build for being his parents' favorite son. His approach: personalized snack tins, with very different menus.
In "I packed snacks for my parents", he wraps meatloaf patties in puff pastry for his father, calling the baked parcels meatloaf Hot Pockets. His mother's tin goes miniature instead, fitting in a tiny sandwich, chips with dip, soup and a treat.
The Short drew roughly 453,000 views in its first three and a half hours today. Viewers are talking about his use of scissors to open eggs, as well as the brief car-tour joke before he leaves: "You ever seen the inside of a Lamborghini? Yeah, me neither."
It's a Toyota that takes him to the airport. Outside the terminal, his mother opens her tin with "Oh my gosh! Look at this!" His father has a more practical question: "What is this?" Tyler gets to introduce the meatloaf Hot Pocket in person.
