Help Uncle Chino Get His Dream Boat

Help Uncle Chino Chase His Dream: Let’s Get Him a Boat!

If you’ve ever watched one of our outdoor cooking videos with Uncle Chino, better known as the “Jungle Chef,” you’ve likely experienced his infectious laughter, endless wisdom, and his signature phrase: “You will be yummy!” Uncle Chino’s passion for life, storytelling, and the outdoors has captured all our hearts.

Uncle Chino is a 60-year-old Vietnamese handyman who has spent decades working tirelessly on odd jobs to make a living. While his hands are skilled at fixing things, his heart truly belongs to the water. When he’s fishing, sharing his love of nature, and whipping up delicious meals from the catch of the day, Uncle Chino is in his element.

Recently, we had a dream: what if Uncle Chino could spend his golden years doing what he truly loves instead of continuing the tough grind of handyman work? A boat would allow him to become a fishing guide in Texas—a perfect way to share his knowledge, humor, and love of the outdoors with others. He could introduce people to the joys of fishing and continue creating the amazing cooking content you all know and love.

We’ve found the perfect boat that would enable Uncle Chino to safely guide fishing trips and spend more time on the water. It costs $27,000—a big number, but one we believe is achievable with your support.

This isn’t just about buying a boat; it’s about giving back to a man who’s given us so much. It’s about helping Uncle Chino transition to a life that brings him joy and eases the physical burden of his work. Imagine the incredible adventures, stories, and meals Uncle Chino will share from his new boat!

If Uncle Chino’s wisdom, laughter, and “You will be yummy” mantra have ever made you smile, please consider pitching in to make this dream a reality. Whether it’s $5, $50, or just sharing this fundraiser with your friends, every bit helps us get closer to the goal.

Let’s come together as a community to help Uncle Chino spend his days doing what he loves most. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
