Bizarrely enough they made a video about wizard game a month or so ago talking about how buying it is supporting Queen Terf yet they then go and spit this shit out.

          I like him too, he's the OG food nerd and as far as I know he hasn't said anything stupid like defending homophobia. Ragusea kinda copied his schtick but with muscles.

            Pretty sure he's known to be a big time conservative

            alton brown is a conservative. Makes sense because he was born and raised southern. He made a tweet critical of trump and the gop, and everyone got mad at him for it, causing him to make a tweet likening himself to a victim of the Holocaust over it.

              I remember watching an interview with him once - he was a successful film production guy until he caught a cooking bug and went to culinary school. Dude was a small business owner for years before he picked up a spatula.

            In my case, the whole "let's be scientific and precise about cooking" current got old as soon as I started reading more and having more contact with food philosophy and politics, and seeing how food and taste are not just variables that need optimizing but meaningful actions in daily lives. It's also very toxic-masculine in tone, even if not in message.

              Yeah that's very true, although on the bright side, some people, mostly men, likely needed that philosophy in order to sorta pipeline them towards cooking.

                Oh yeah definitely. I see the benefit, and to a point it drew me closer to cooking, but now that it's become a much more important part of my life and research, I've moved past it.
