They show Food Network in the cafeteria at work. Pioneer Woman is on and it’s a... funeral episode? It cuts from the husband building a graveyard for his mother to Pioneer Woman cheerfully cooking a cobbler.

I feel like I’m in some kind of Creepy Pasta nightmare.

I really want to hate on this woman for pretending to not just be rich as gently caress, but she also produces basset hound swag sooo

I shall sing you the song of my people.
I'm loving Flo Lum on YouTube. Her channel is Instant Pot focused, and she herself is this wonderfully relaxed Asian lady who's clearly having fun making these videos with her husband. Her motto is "be simple, ordinary, and joyful", and it really informs everything on her channel (even the non-food content, which is very Christian).

Googling "Pioneer Woman Funeral Cobbler" isn't as joyous as I thought it would be.

Oh I used her recipe for instant pot ribs the other day, with some slight modifications (I used a dry rub), and they turned out great.

Seems like BA videos are getting longer, well YT videos in general seem to be getting long, does this appeal to most people? I've been skipping most BA videos because of length. I watched the sauce and cheese videos and lost interest in their pizza series. For me it's like bowling, fun to do in real life with friends but boring to watch. Like Claire recreate Doritos was mildly interesting but in the end she made Doritos which are literally in every store in America. Guess I'm not the target audience. It's just that I'm interested enough to watch 8-10 minute videos but not enough to watch 30-60 minute videos.

I treat the long videos like a podcast. Just put it on the background. They don't expect anyone to make those doritos recipes, it's just for entertainment.

I do watch all the videos from the Carla lady and there's another one doing Indian style recipes that are pretty easy to make.

Priya! I love her (not as much as Claire, but I digress).

I'm actually loving the longer BA videos and since pizza's like my favorite food on the planet, I was enamored with every episode of that series.

I personally find Priya rather boring, and the whole "calls her parents in like every video" shtick is kind of annoying.

Bon Appetit tier list:

1) Chris Morocco (he can be a little dry but I think he's got the most thoughtful and sound approach toward food and cooking)
2) Brad
2a) Claire
4) Gaby
5) Amiel (he's fuckin hilarious)
6) Carla
7) Andy
8) Molly
9) Priya

Chris seems to be the most methodical recipe guy and Brad is a human golden retriever but I don't think the recipes they present look all that appetizing. Meanwhile I feel I could smash 5 bowls of anything Priya or Carla makes.

That was really good! Delayney's recent video with Brad where they try everything at a restaurant was pretty good, too.

e: and in Claire's last video, Claire, who went to Harvard, has to have "righty-tighty, lefty-loosey" explained to her by Brad.

Claire saying that there's no 'right or left on a circle' was one of the most powerful statements I've ever heard in my life.

This show is bloody great. Just appeared up top of my recommended's and started playing, before I knew it I was hooked. Choi is so funny and off-hand about his decisions, just like I try things out at home. 'Man, I don't know why, just eyeballed it."

I've been plowing through The Final Table on Netflix recently. It's very much reality TV insofar as you can absolutely tell a lot of the banter between duos is scripted or faked, but the chefs themselves are awesome and insanely talented (one of the teams is just straight up Mark Best and Shane Osborn) and it's overall incredibly wholesome and enjoyable.

He's fine, but doesn't reach the minimum plate appearances threshold to be on the list.

I know Gaby only has few solo videos as well, but she's been in a ton of them in the background and is a well-known BA personality.

Honestly I'm getting tired of the gourmet makes, because they basically devolve into her getting frustrated and going "gently caress it, this is what you get" without coming to a fully realized product at the end. Why bother with the series if you're not gonna go full boat?
