Ninong Ry looks back on his career as chef, content creator

It takes hard work and perseverance to launch a stellar career, but Filipino chef and content creator Ninong Ry believes that it was luck that thrust him into the limelight. 

On Monday's episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Ninong Ry looked back on how his successful career as a chef and content creator started. 

"Sinuwerte lang talaga ako. Kasi iyong start ng career ko was very typical pero I stood by to a certain degree," he said, adding that there was even a point that he took a pause in the industry.

"Very typical 'yung nangyari sakin, and then out of that typical something extraordinary happened," he shared. "Bakit? Siguro sinuwerte lang talaga ako,"

Ninong Ry has captivated Filipino netizens with his down-to-earth, real-talk cooking and food-related videos. On YouTube, he has already amassed nearly two million subscribers.

Last June, Michael V. impersonated Ninong Ry with a character he called, "Ninong Cry" in an episode of Bubble Gang, and the Internet's Favorite Ninong couldn't hide his joy. 

He previously collaborated with Bea Alonzo for a cooking challenge on her vlog.

He was also part of the online series "Pinoy Christmas in our Hearts," a collaboration between GMA Public Affairs and YouTube.
