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

Grem posted:Ok Claire making Starbursts made me feel legitimately bad for her. I wouldn't be surprised if she quits again soon, she sounded absolutely miserable. 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?

I am convinced that Claire is madly in love with Brad and he knows about it but chooses to ignore it as he's married with a kid and doesn't feel the same way.

My favorite part about Sohla (aside from her cool-as-a-cucumber personality) is that since she worshiped at the Church of Kenji while she was at Serious Eats, she's able to knowledge drop to dispel dumb cooking myths all the time which is much appreciated.

Democratic Pirate posted:The way he says “Bahn” Appetite while everyone else says Bone Apple Tea bugs me. Amiel does this in the beginning of his videos too but I give him a pass because Amiel fuckin' rules. I think the contempt they have for Rapaport is real since he seems like a really slimy executive-type who thinks he knows everything about cooking (watch the "broccoli bolognese" video with him and Molly, who he has probably tried to sleep with) but doesn't know poo poo. I can't stand the dude, and I don't even work there. Anyone else watching Just a Dash with Matty Matheson? It's some pretty abstract stuff, as far as cooking goes (especially the recent Shepherd's Pie one), and really showcases what a weirdo Matty is. His food doesn't even necessarily look all that great, but I still find it great fun to watch.

dino. posted:Agreed, but I do enjoy watching Delaney putter around different cities and try ______ in various local shops, and assign ratings to them. He's generally positive overall, even if the thing isn't quite his cup of tea. I was mixed on Delaney when I first got into BA videos but he really is just an overwhelmingly positive guy. Nothing bad to say about him, and the faux nemesis thing with Brad is great. I definitely prefer when he tries a variety of the same foodstuff at different locations to when he goes through the entire menu at a single place, though.

I love Babish but his personality always seems so forced/awkward when he's in the BA test kitchen. I don't know if it's because he's nervous, or what, but I much prefer him on his own show(s).

I hate to break it to everyone but in Sohla's spice cabinet, the jar labeled "weed" is actually "dill weed"...at about 3:03 into the video you can see there's an "L" on the label prior to the word "weed". Now don't get me wrong, I would be somewhat shocked if she didn't smoke, but these aren't the droids you're looking for.

I think Babish owns, on his own show. His guest spots on other channels (BA, ATK with Dan Souza, etc) are less successful as I feel like he tries too hard rather than being his genuine self. Whatever you think of him, dude is rolling. His channel gets a shitload of views, he just bought a house, bought his brother a Tesla, seems like a genuinely nice guy and is shacking up with a cutie, so good for him.

exquisite tea posted:I like almost all the popular youtube food personalities except Adam Ragusea, who is just irritating with his "why I season MY FLOOR NOT MY FOOD" schtick. I just wanted to complain somewhere because he's so goddamn annoying! I'm with you. My wife and I got interested in his videos a while back, but as time goes on he is really starting to grate on me with his "I don't take the extra two minute step to do X even though it would result in a superior product" attitude just for the sake of saving a little bit of time. His most interesting pieces are his food/social journalism pieces, which makes sense since that's his wheelhouse and he has a lot of academics from his time at Mercer to lean on.

The past few weeks my wife and I have been watching a lot of Hellthy Junk Food. They're an Orlando-based couple who rank fast food, make DIY giant versions of said fast food, occasionally travel internationally to see what fast food looks like in other countries, and do other assorted dumb challenges. Neither of them are culinary experts, but they have a really cute relationship and really seem to enjoy each other's company. JP is a Korean who was adopted and raised by an Italian family, which makes it extra hilarious in that he simply cannot handle spicy food and starts sweating immediately. Julia is a JAP who can handle way spicier food and revels in torturing JP. She also has a better grasp of overall culinary technique, though neither of them will be on Top Chef any time soon. They're weird (especially JP), and funny, and it's easy to binge watch their short videos (5-15 minutes each). They also have a separate channel, JP & Julia, which focuses mostly on their international non-fast food culinary escapades. They usually hire locals to bring them on food tours which is very smart, I must say. They also get recognized (particularly in Asian countries) surprisingly frequently!

I watched the Stump Sohla episode yesterday, and it was...all right. Sohla's charm and skill are on full display, but I'm not entirely sold on the marriage of her tongue-in-cheek nerdy over-seriousness with Babish's slightly forced somewhat cringey self-deprecating persona. This was a first go so I have no doubt it'll get better but it was a little hard to watch, especially when they were interacting. Yay Sohla though!! She deserves every bit of success she gets, and then some.

Another awesome thing about Chef John is that when he makes a recipe, the guy commits. The thumbnail may look awesome, but in the first minute of the video he might say something like "I made this recipe and it's actually really terrible!" then proceeds to show you how to make the same terrible food. Very endearing.

I bought Claire's cookbook as an impromptu gift for my wife and we went through it last night. The recipes look really really good, and the photography is beautiful. She even includes a cool matrix at the beginning of the book that plots all the recipes via difficulty (which she grades 1-5) and total time. Obviously we haven't made anything from it yet, but highly recommended based off everything else alone.

Farideh Sadeghin has been doing more sponsored stuff on the Munchies channel and it's always just so lame compared to her normal stuff. She isn't really allowed to be her silly, crude self and while the videos are certainly more appealing to the mass market, they just seem so hollow to me. I've been watching more and more of Matty Matheson, and the dude just cracks me up. His Homestyle Cookery videos are more or less straight-to-the-point cooking (or as straight-to-the-point as Matty can be), whereas his Just a Dash videos have been upping the surreal vibe. The food still looks good at the end but the journey there has been morphing into a philosophical shroom trip which is fun. The "Cincinatti Chili Demon" video was particularly weird.

The guy is just bonkers charismatic, an amazing chef taught French cuisine by an vietnamese immigrant and constantly makes mistakes and rolls with it. It's also a real joy watching him eat everything he makes while it's nuclear-hot and burning his mouth every single time. Never gets old.

I'm mixed on Adam Ragusea (I think he has some decent, and some very bad opinions) but his most recent video is just utter nonsense aside from volume > weight for smaller measurements, like up to a tbsp rather than using weight.

you ate my cat posted:I feel like Chef John ran out of real foods a while ago and now is just making more and more insane things. I still like the guy, but it's been a long time since he made something I want to cook. It's also pretty obvious he's totally just winging recipes and recording them while he figures them out, since some of them are clearly culinary abominations by the end that probably don't work that great in real life. His savory cheesecake was particularly off-putting to me for some reason. I still like his videos, since he's a funny guy and can definitely cook, but I don't really want to make any of them.
