Eric always comes across as so serious, so it’s always nice when he breaks into a smile or is a little goofy.

Alex was the same way for years on Chopped, like she’d heard of humour, but it wasn’t a thing she personally enjoyed. Since then she’s humanised a lot more and subsequently become one of my favourite people on FN. :allears:

ive been watching food network stuff on hbo max and put good eats on while i had dinner. i picked an episode from the reboot 5 years ago and it was sourdough.

well, the conceit of the episode was Alton was stuck indoors because of a pandemic and its aftermath, so let's make sourdough. this was from 2019...alton brown confirmed as an illuminati guy

Do they still just require like a ten square foot fenced outside area attached to the gross building they're in?

Wonder if it’s the feed that makes the yolk a different color? Like you said, the actual conditions don’t seem much different.

It’s 100% diet. Carotenoids cause orange yolks. Free range chickens are more likely to eat food that has them. You can make orange yolks through factory farming but most places are too cheap to source ingredients that would result in orange yolks

Yeah, pretty much.

Eater has a pretty good breakdown of what terms actually mean:
https://www.eater.com/2019/7/17/20696498/whats-the-difference-cage-free-free-range-pasture-raised-eggs

quote:

Cage-free, a term regulated by the USDA, means that the eggs come from hens that, put simply, aren’t caged: They can “freely roam a building, room, or enclosed area with unlimited access to food and fresh water during their production cycle, but [do] not have access to the outdoors.” Considering the conventional cage is 8 ½ by 11 inches, or the size of a piece of paper, this seems like a better lifestyle — but there are downsides, too. According to All About Eggs by Rachel Khong, cage-free facilities have more hen-on-hen violence and lower air quality than facilities that use cages.

Free-range, another USDA term, means that the eggs come from hens that have some sort of access to the outdoors. However, it doesn’t mean that the hens actually go outdoors, or that the outdoor space is more than a small, fenced-in area; it simply implies that a door exists that a farmer could at some point open.

Pasture-raised is not a term regulated by the USDA; however, if the carton says “pasture-raised” and also includes stamps that say “Certified Humane” and/or “Animal Welfare Approved,” it means that each hen was given 108 square feet of outdoor space, as well as barn space indoors. This is pretty much as close to the bucolic, E-I-E-O farm vibe you’ll get when dealing with large-scale egg producers, so if you’re looking to support those practices, keep a look out for those labels.

i went looking to see if there were any "big" brands selling eggs from hens that are treated fairly well, and costco's organic offering is apparently humane. huh! plenty of others, too.

yeah you can get vital farms at walmart (though 3x the price of generic large eggs) and i was kinda surprised by how nice the actual conditions are. i'm sure it's not perfect but they do involve chickens walking around, on pastures, outdoors, with > 100sqft per chicken, which is better than 99% of all alternatives out there

In Japan, orange yolks are their equivalent of white shells in the US (only has aesthetic value, but it still has taken over preceptions of what good eggs are). So you can find YouTube videos and poo poo that include "Just look at how much better eggs in Japan are than in the US!"

Visuals are a huge part of taste and blind taste tests are so unrealistic they might as well be useless. Can’t tell my brain that a pale rear end yolk is better than an orange yolk.

This is the thing that gets me. White shells look fake and weird and unnatural. Like I get that they're not but it's bizarre that it's prized.

Less so in the recent decade. But there's a (marketing) reason all supermarket eggs were white in the 90s.

Yes but the press announcement of the contestants this year didn't mention him going as far as to have it so that the east bracket had one less chef.


Now what I was talking about is they showed him in flashbacks winning previous TOC rounds which they coulda easily cut

Since the clips they showed were about Cinderella stories, I don't think you could wholly cut him out given Darnell was the Cinderella of ToC 1/2. But given it was only 10 seconds, they might have thought it also wasn't worth editing out. That's my best guess.
