/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Alton Brown got me into cooking, so I figured I'd revisit the show when it was on Cooking Channel over the weekend.

Ho-lee-Shit! What a fucking trainwreck. Dad-humor aside (some good, some bad) but the fucking techniques and recipes. Watching the chili episode
>"Here are the fresh peppers, but fuck that they get bad and take up too much room in the saddle bag! Use only canned!"
>Onions? Tomatoes? Nix that, what is salsa if not onions and tomatoes?
>Thickening with masa? What are crunched up tortilla chips if not corn flower?
>Cut the meat into tennis-ball-sized chunks, sear the meat, throw all the shit in the pan, and wait for 20 minutes

Wa La!


The only worse ones I see, the shitshow Food Network turned into nonwithstanding, are PBS with Sarah's Weeknight Meals which are NOT weeknight fare, or sometimes not even meals. And the bitch has a personal crusade to dirty up every fucking dish in the kitchen while making the simplest of dishes. Or the now-senile Jacque Pepin who has to each episode fry large chunks of whatever he has laying around and putting it in an omelette.


The only one worth watching are a select few PBS like America's Test Kitchen, or the New Orleans guy, or Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives. DDD is probably the best cooking show on cable tv, and definitely not because of the host, but because he goes and sees various chefs and they show you what they're cooking up.
