I'm humbled by all of these comments. Bless you all. My new novel The Price You Pay will be out soon and a mini series based on my life is in the works. Watch for them both. Thanks again! Brian D Price
Mr. Price, I tried to track you down before posting I posted the video compilation, but found you have no internet presence. I bought your book, "Meals to Die For," and wanted to ask you if you'd autograph it. I will be happy to purchase your new book as well.
Brian , hello from the city of Auckland, New Zealand .Your thoughts are very emotive and thought provoking about the whole DP situation in the USA . In NZ we are aghast and appalled by the DP. New Zealand abolished the DP in the 1950's .You are a very deep thinker indeed, The meals look fantastic , kind regards Robbo:)
@@robosborne5267 Thank you for your kind words Robert. Several years ago a television station in Auckland wanted to do a piece on me. They sent a journalist here to Texas who rode with me everywhere I went for two days. The lady heading up the idea was Pallas Taggart. They ended up passing on doing the piece however due to costs. If you go on RU-vid you will see other interviews full length and search the web for magazine and newspaper articles. I've been in many. I am currently negotiating a deal with Los Angeles production companies who want to do my life story in a mini series. We should sign with one of them shortly after the new year. Wish me luck. Thanks again brother...God bless Brian Price 😎
@@RocknRollPiano Thank you for your voice of confidence my keyboard playing friend. I've ALWAYS loved having a great keyboardist playing in the bands that I've been blessed to work with over the years. I can't hear crickets chirping in my right ear because of me virtually putting my head right up to the Leslie cabinet my friend Ricky Jones was playing his Hammond B-3 through as he soloed on House of The Rising Sun! True story. Keep your chops sharp...maybe we can jam together one day. I found out that ALL things are possible with God! Stay safe! Be blessed. Your brother in Texas... Brian Price😎
I believe he really put his all into making these dishes. Gave people that last bit of comfort before it was over. There's alot of compassion in this man.
He’s the perfect man for this job. He’s been on both sides of the fence so he has the compassion and humanity to NOT just look at this as a job. God Bless you!
@@brianprice2932, Man, I am so happy to hear that! I hope it opens up the floodgates of opportunity for you! As a fellow angler, I’d love to wet a line with you sometime!
@@brianprice2932 That’s fantastic!!! I truly hope it opens up the floodgates of opportunity for you. As a fellow angler, I would love to “ wet a line” with you sometime!!!!
I wish more people would see things that way. Seems like those convicted of those crimes are the only ones that keep paying for it long after they have served their time. In some states they can be held in what is basically a mental hospital until they are deemed cured which rarely happens.
im sure he's had a complaint before. wheather it was communicated or not. but this is truely a blessed chef job. as he has creative control and time to make it perfect. in a world where everything is rushed
it actually brought a tear to my eye when he was talking about the man who wanted him to know he was thankful for the meal and enjoyed it. I'm glad a man like this found that job, he's the right person for it.
You can tell he takes a lot of pride in doing the absolute best job possible. It’s certainly not a job I would want, I would find it to be a bit too morbid, so I admire Chef Price
@@AshleySmith19912 I dont know if I could do it, cooking for someone that did something so heinous that they get put to death? Take this apple and rot in hell.
He doesn't sound horrified, he sounds remorseful yet he keeps his eyes on the future and just enjoys life instead of dwelling every moment of every day on what was. If you read this Brian Price I wish you the best life possible. God bless you sir.
@@brianprice2932 I spent three of ten years behind walls. Before I was sentenced I thought I was facing 25 or more. All because I had someone beg me to help them find $25 worth of drugs. The thought of not knowing or having any say so in what they are going to do with your life is the scariest thing in the world. They will throw you away for a dollar. I can't imagine how much worse walking to that chair would be. I agree with your thoughts and feel the feelings you feel towards this subject as well. I was 21 when I was jailed and released halfway into 25. I am now almost 30. Life is short and precious. I wish I could meet you some day.
Thanks Jack. My agents are meeting with producers of thr A&E network today to begin developing a series with me doing just that. Cooking and telling many different prison stories. Your compliment and desire to hear more will be coming soon on A&E...thanks for the kind words Jack. God bless 🙌
I just signed with A&E to do a series based on executions and the last Meals I prepared. 100 one hour episodes minimum. Watch for it early next year. Thanks for commenting. God bless. 😎
There's something so beautiful about someone taking such care to prepare a meal for someone who society would say "does not deserve it". A great human right here
@@johndough4289 the meal they should get they will never get its a shame to see tax dollars and it's waste did their victims get a last meal if the answer to that question is no why should they get theirs we have a death row system for a reason I'm just not sure why we have yet to use it look at how much money we could save medical cost doctor's cost Transportation cost finding things like weapons drugs alcohol things that they should not have inside their facility and yet they have inside their facility
That is exactly what I thought. He knows things. He appreciates the joys of simple things. And I love that he prays for the inmates for whom he prepared the food
Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime! Just Believe ❤️ Love you and GOD BLESS
Thank you for those kind wishes...my dreams are coming true. I have two published books in print, I've been remarried since 2001 and celebrate 20 years of freedom this coming January. And now the A&E network just signed me to do 100 one hour episodes of a new series based on my life. God is good! 😉
If i’m not mistaken his channel is Brian D. Price, i actually looked it up a few minutes ago, mostly music which was his passion before prison, it’s interesting to see
@@lachousalle31 there is this thing called lying, happens all the time. Not only that, people make mistakes and learn from them. Not justifying what this guy did, just saying you may want to check the skeletons in your own closet before commenting on RU-vid videos
@@lachousalle31 yes, i have seen all these comments where people are hailing this man as being the new Mother Theresa. But the fact remains, he was in prison for a long time for a very serious crime. And let's be honest, he is pretty much here to sell his book via promotion right?
This is not just a man. This is an angel if there ever was one. May he receive the same love and devotion delivered into his “final” meal before he leaves this earth. May he pass painlessly and peacefully 💙
Dude, at the start of the video he said he was sentenced to 14 years for graping his wife! If that's "Angelic" then we are all literally F'd when we get to Heaven!
Thanks Jake...so many have commented comparing me to Bob Ross that we are now looking into at least a podcast of me doing this on network television. God bless 🙌
@Apeman Commeth well I dont know about Gacy, but you can have a steel cross bar sandwich from the weight room, because that the last thing Jeffery Lecter ate.
Listening to this man’s thoughts while he cooks is mesmerizing. When he makes semi joking comments about “old sparky”, or calling the onion rings “obituary O’s”, you also know it’s his way of dealing with this job, and he very much cares about it. He deeply takes in the thoughts and senses of what it’s like for these people on their last day. And has respect for it. And I have respect for that.

Hey Greg, I was interviewed two weeks ago by A&E for their upcoming docuseries The Women of Death Row which airs this Fall. My interview will be interwoven into 6 episodes of condemned Women on Death Row in different states. Watch for it this Fall. And I have Tim Grady films pitching my life story to different major networks now. I appreciate your comment and that is added confirmation that a series like this would have many viewers. God bless 🙌
I have always wondered what happened to this well-articulated man (Brian) over the years. I am so relieved to see his amazing life now. If he wrote a book, than I must buy it. It is no longer fried chicken; it is stomach content on an autopsy report. This hit hard.
david veilleux Gods word says we are the descendent of Adam and inherited Adams fallen nature and sin. We are morally imperfect because of our ancestry. Like a moral earthly judge God must judge what opposes His perfect will. So how does God judge our sin and also enable us to get to a perfect sinless heaven. God entered His creation in the person of Jesus. Being God, Jesus was able to live a sinless perfect life as a human being, one of us. Through Jesus perfect sacrifice on the cross God placed all our sin upon Him. Through simple faith in Jesus sacrifice we can be now made sinless in Gods sight and enter a perfect heaven. Why was God willing to suffer and died as a human on our behalf, love!
david veilleux Yes God owns what He’s created as you do. You see things a bit backwards. It’s not so much good people in the hands of an angry God but more wicked fallen sinners in the hands of a just and holy God. I don’t think you would have any moral problem wiping out families of rats under your house. Have you noticed how wicked corrupt and evil this world is. It’s like you only saw the person being put to death without knowing the backstory of rape and murder. But out of Gods mercy and love for wretched evil sinners God was willing to come suffer and die on a cross for all your sins. So God got what He didn’t deserve, punished for your sin and you got what you didn’t deserve, free entry into heaven through simple faith in your savour Jesus. Sadly most sinners forfeit Gods amazing gift through unbelief of Gods word. “The word not being mixed with faith profits you nothing” You’re not going to claim your prize if you don’t believe your ticket is genuine. Maybe you should start thanking God. God likes people who are grateful! As do most parents {
@david veilleux God can do whatever he wants...he's the sole creator of this universe. It's pride like you speak that caused Lucifer to defect from God. Everything that is spoken of in the Bible happened, good and bad. We're on a fallen Earth buddy, a physical manifestation of Hell. In the end God does not want you to suffer. All he wants is you to put away your Earthly pride and say you believe by true faith in Him and our willing to serve him willfully for all eternity. Look at all these ancient people's man...they all believed in a creator of the universe. He exists my friend. Meanwhile Lucifer is a truly otherworldly spirit and will do anything to take you away from God. Your soul is real, your salvation is real. All you need is faith in Him. I'm sure this looks crazy to you man but I felt the same way as you. I really did, I said the same things you did and then my eyes were opened to the Truth. I really hope you find God man. And I'm not saying this acted like I'm high and mighty cause I found God. I'm nothing. I'm a sinner like everyone else who was blessed to have found God and saw how much he truly cares about us. I only want the same for others.
I love the fact that he always empathised with the immates and tried his best to provide them comfort with his food at their final moments. I hope he lives a great life now and he acheives his dreams.
Your best wishes were received. I just signed on to do my own series on A&E based on my time as the Texas death row chef. Taping begins soon. Thank you. God bless 🙌
@@brianprice2932 I'm really glad to know you're doing great, I hope the series goes well and I'll be there to watch it when it airs. I wish you all the best!
The death penalty shouldn't baffle you. There is scum in society that needs to be removed. People that do things that are unforgiven. The death penalty is the only way to clean house. Its the only punishment that guarantees they never harm again.
@@dancooper6002 yeah. There's been lots of times when people who've done terrible things get out of prison as "reformed" or something and they go back to doing terrible things. Death penalty is like a necessary evil.
I've never heard a more humble man. Stumbled on this by chance and it moved me by shock, sadness, then content by this man's soul. Well spoken and from the heart!

Am I the only one that was reminded of Bob Ross here? Just a relaxing calm energy this man truly cares about his and others peace. Although we may not agree with making ppl on death row comfortable (I know every Situation is different) I respect what he does!
I love that he is the one doing this job. He trys to make sure he can get the food close to exactly how they like. He is very respectful and ask for forgiveness for the people he prepares it for. A great human being not judging and putting a some care into there last moments by giving them a little bit of comfort by what they are eating
@@McDonaldsDude he said he does...it's not about that.Right or wrong That man is not a killer. He isn't their to judge them. They were already judged & sentenced and about to be killed. The ending of their life is about to be over so their karma is coming for what they did wrong. He has compassion and just doing his job and bringing some what of a little comfort to that person who is about to meet their maker after this life. He didn't do anything wrong for having empathy, empathy that those people lacked for what they did wrong and he isn't like them. It shows he is a good hearted person. People like that we need more of.
That was the fastest 22 minute video I’ve ever seen. There wasn’t one boring part and like many people have said, it’s somewhat relaxing. Mr. Brian Price I applaud the mindset and approach you took to preparing these meals.
Thanks for your kind comment. I just signed on to the A&E network to do 100 episodes of my own series based on the executions and last Meals and the crimes the now departed committed to deem them to die for it. We start filming soon. God bless...🙌
The fact that this man puts time, effort and love into what he does proves that we're not all animals. And his candor about the death penalty is eye opening.
That was Domino...he used to swim out to my boat if I left him behind. He always went fishing with me but the cameraman Charlie Fresher who filmed the documentary Last Supper for the Swedish producers Mats Bigert and Lars Bergstrom was in the boat with me. Last Supper can be seen in it's entirety on RU-vid. Thank you for your interest. God bless and Merry Christmas!
@@brianprice2932 Domino is to cute🤟.. I really enjoyed this video. I wish you and your kinfolk all the best from NC mountains. I’m looking forward to reading your book
@@brianprice2932 I've seen a video about you before but this one was even better. Did you continue to be the death row chef when you got out? Do you live nearby the prison.
This man is a special gift to humanity. For a man who has done 15 hard in TDCJs Huntsville Unit, then come back to work in the Death House kitchen as a former inmate, he has a huge reservoir of compassion. Most former inmates would stay as far away as possible from a prison.
He's like the Bob Ross of death row cooking... respectfully. He's a Very caring man. Takes pride in his work and understands what he is doing is the last thing that inmate will remember.
Especially when he is cooking. Quick little bit of information....Bob was in the air force and was a drill sargent. He yelled at people all day long. Day in day out. When he got out he vowed to not yell at people like that again...as I understand it. He took some painting classes in Canada and became bob Ross. Long story short. Both these people here have been hardened in some sense. Then to come out being so peaceful. Soothing voice. Like they are trying to change and teach us something in there stories. Fried chicken...happy little Trees...going down to the river...then the story.
@@dewilew2137 do you have some info not in this video tht makes you so convinced? I am a crime junkie! If so plz share. If not, you do know innocent people do get convicted and sentenced right? If you haven't heard of the innocence project u should look them up. Staggering amount of people are wrongfully sent to prison. Unfortunately the vast majority are people of color.
@@66crush9 I will be setting up our website again hopefully tomorrow and putting both my books back on Amazon.com for the retail price of $19.95 + tax and shipping for Meals To Die For and $14.95 for my novel The Price You Pay. Give it a day or two and contact me here. If nothing else I will send you a copy directly from me. By the way, I personally dedicate and sign each book sold online. Thanks for your interest! God bless
I was gonna talk all kinds of negativity about the death penalty, but I'm just left here smiling over this nice man and his genuine care for the people he cooks for. I always love seeing "flower come up from the concrete" stuff like this!
I've never thought about where the last meals are prepared. I always thought they were ordered out and brought in to the inmate. This Chef is a very touching person. He thinks about the people he's preparing the meals for and he puts heart and soul and love into each and every meal. Very touching. ❤.
It's different from place to place. I've heard someone who requested a huge expensive final meal, and when it arrived, he didn't even touch it.... the policy changed for future executions, since it made the warden look bad.
First time I’ve ever commented on a RU-vid video. Brian, this video touched me in a way I never expected. Your profound compassion inspires me to be a better person.
Keep telling everyone. I There is a mini series in the works based on my life. A cooking show may soon follow. Also have a novel coming out. The Price You Pay...thanks for the compliment. Brian
I have no idea why this was in my recommendations but I'm glad I watched this. I don't think I've ever thought about a man's last meal before being put to death in such a deep and profound way. When this man showed how he would bless each meal...regardless of how you may feel about the death penalty...it truly touched my soul.

i think this an intersection of human emotion and reality. Something deeply human about food that connects us. Also imprisonement of humans (right or wrong), killing each other (deserved or not, idk?), and redemption/forgiveness. I dont think it matters how you feel watching this video, but as long as you feel seomething
Man this was so interesting and something I've never really thought about! The mental & emotional dilemma of wanting to cook as best as you can, for someone's last meal in their earthly life but also thinking about those left behind by the murderers. But I COMMEND him for doing his job to the best of his ability. And him praying over the food, for the man's soul, that's the most precious thing I've ever seen in my LIFE!
It's so strange to feel so calm while listening to someone talk about such a devastating topic. He truly has a way with words and the intimacy of the interview made it feel like I was sitting right there at the kitchen bench
This just goes to show that there is humanity and mercy in places you'd never think of. A prison kitchen seems like the last place to look for, yet there it was. I can't imagine what it must feel like to have someone thank you for a meal that you prepared for them as they waited to leave this earth. I hope Brian continues to be well!
God Bless You🙏💯 I know the pain of once being on death row myself.. Seen a many people go around that corner to never be seen again. So i know the job you done held near and dear to that person whether innocent or guilty. I was blessed to receive my appeal and reversal after 10 years locked in a 5x8 cell of death row.. To you all i can say is God Bless You 💕🙌
Thank you so much brother! What a powerful testimony you have to share...so please keep sharing it. Praise God for the truth coming out and you are now a free man. You have blessed me today with your text my brother. I encourage you to keep walking the walk with your eyes on the finish line. Be sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and remember...the only Jesus many people will ever see is the Jesus in you! God bless you my brother. Love you in Jesus. 😇
Stumbled onto this comment after I stumbled onto this video, I hope your life is content and you have moved on from the evils of the Just-Us system. In Jesus name in the glory of God may you be blessed, no I'm not a bible thumper
@@yuwannakno1269 I thank you!🙌 The Just-Us System is perfectly said! A lot of people say that the justice system is broken or the justice system needs to be reformed.. the justice system isn't broken! The justice system works perfectly for who created it, against the people it was created for!!
@@lastfirst78 I was exonerated! Wrongly accused and wrongful conviction! The only thing I'm sorry for is the raggedy unjust so called legal system! You're GUILTY until proven innocent💯👋
@@MrJayySmooth If it’s ok to ask, does the state compensate you in some way for you having been wrongly convicted, and even worse, unjustly been sent to death row and having spent fairly long time there before you were officially cleared?
Dear god the rabbit hole actually gave me something actually amazing. This humble man was one of the best videos ive seen in a while on this site....wow
I think you're a very special man. The meals you provided the death row inmates was the last good thing given to them, and you made sure it was blessed. It must have felt like you were sharing their last meal with them. You were an angel chef. I would like to thank you for making this video to share with us. Blessings to you!
What you do and the reasons you do it and the care you show should be commended. As my grandmother would say, "There's a crown in Heaven with your name on it." Bless you, sir.
I really enjoyed watching this. I love how humble and respectful Brian seems to be. He tells it all without sugar coating anything. I want to watch more of Brian telling stories.
Thank you for your kind words. I am currently negotiating a deal with several networks in Los Angeles who want to do my life story in a mini series. Pray for me to choose the one that will not edit out my faith and give God the Glory for the platform that provided me a way to share my Lord and His Grace and forgiveness. Yes I understand the feelings and views of those who don't think a final meal is deserved because the victims of these often heinous crimes did not get a chance to have one before being murdered. I used to feel the same way until I was talking one morning with my friend Manny Lopez who was the porter that cleaned the death chamber after executions. He told me that when he was cleaning the witness rooms in the death house he had to wipe down the viewing window where the man who had been executed had his mother and daughter there to witness him being put to death. Manny said, and I quote, " Brian there was smeared makeup, dried tears, hand prints, lipstick all over the glass where his mama and daughter witnessed him being killed. I could almost feel their anguish and pain," Manny added. So no matter what crime that person had done, he was still loved by someone. These family members became victims also when the crime had been committed sentencing them to a life of finger pointing and shame...a life of whispers behind their backs that they were the family members of the one who had murdered whomever. The trauma they had to suffer nobody ever thinks about. So the last meal requests I did out of respect for these forgotten victims...the families of the executed. And our God on the cross told the one thief hanging beside Him that before the day was over he would join Him in Paradise. Genuine last minute confession that Jesus Christ IS Lord can and does happen. Forgiveness abounds. God is not a respecter of persons. Amen
Since watching this listening to Brian explain what went in and how he made the last meals. My respect for Brian and his cooking and for this documentary. Cannot wait to hear more from himself soon
