      I’ve never really liked babish for some reason. Like, irrationally, something about his image is just totally off-putting to me. He’s probably an ok guy though

      I’ll admit, I’ve always like the vlogbrothers though. And I could def understand someone feeling the same way about them that I feel about babish

      Can babish cook anything but memefood, amerifat "cuisine" or italian? Can he make one dish without adding "cayenne pepper" for a "bit of spiciness"? I've seen like a dozen of his videos and they all feel exactly the same even though he's making that dish from that show. I remember he tried to make peking duck and baozi in a couple of videos and the result was hilarious but he apparently didn't notice.

        ok lisnten here u little shit

        Anyway he also does "basics" episodes which are normal non-meme food, it's decent enough.

        You need a special oven to make Beijing duck. Doubtful anyone could make anything resembling the real thing. It would be like trying to make Texas BBQ brisket in a wok.

      lol I kinda hate that I was also gonna reply saying this. Haven't even watched him in months. Also Hank Green's microbiology channel (https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCBbnbBWJtwsf0jLGUwX5Q3) is good because he's not being Like That as much (and also the musician/microscope operator does most of the heavy lifting)

      it can be fun to see food from film or TV cooked, which was the original gimmick from Babish. But I've never cooked anything or been inspired to cook anything from Babish, for that I go to my good friend Chef John from Food Wishes. Babish hasn't worked as a chef so he's sometimes finding things out as he goes along which is relatable. He does undoubtedly give off a bougie vibe, which is probably why he ended up there.

      Also funny how his name is Andrew but everyone calls him Babish. His collab with Brad Leone was very fun (even if Bon Appetite turned out to be reactionary)

        BA had some of my favorite content, loved the dynamic in the kitchen and it fucking killed me when I found out how absolutely shitty they were. I'm glad a lot of their people moved on but it just was never the same without them in the same room.

        Also like you mentioned in your other comment John's inflection in food wishes just makes me wanna die but maybe it's watchable with captions lol. Kind of ironic since some of my favorite cooking content has been Matty Matheson in Just a Dash.

      I don't remember subscribing, but I'm subscribed to a Helen Rennie who does traditional Russian cooking. I have zero idea if politics ever come up, it's always a chance with old Russian stuff, but it doesn't seem like the sort of channel to do it on purpose.

        I'd like to plug Food Wishes again in this thread, no fuss, just hearty food, like a million chicken and rice dishes. His voice is not for everyone though, he does this weird thing with his voice going up at the end of every sentence.

        I like Adam Ragusea and Brian Langerstrom, both kind of hit that Alton Brown sweet spot, but shoutout to Grandpa's Kitchen for being possibly the most wholesome cooking channel.

            This is a two year old :reddit-logo: post of a man getting his feelings a little too easily hurt online. I don't care, I like his videos.

                What's your point, comrade? What percent should I diminish my opinion of this youtube guy because he reacted poorly to a comment one day? He didn't drop the n word, he didn't go on a homophobic or transphobic tyrade, he didn't suddenly reveal he's a nazi, he just got mad at something he probably shouldn't have gotten mad at. Two years later your bringing it up in a completely unconnected context to remind everyone that they should think less of him because of it. Why?

      Tbf, the Pete documentary almost seems like it was designed to make him look more soulless than he already does.

    Is Babish problematic? I only watch his videos occasionally I don't follow him on Twitter or anything
