/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Zimmern is a bro.

After being a homeless drug addict he just seems grateful that he can go around the world experiencing cultures and eating weird food.

F word in terms of imparting knowledge which is mostly what I'm after. Man vs Food is probably the most entertaining, though.

I'd go with Bizarre Foods. Man vs Food was alright.

>3 jews and a hot headed Scottsman

>>6563382
I don't think Bourdain considers himself Jewish.

>>6563392

Pretty sure he was raised catholic and is not religious at all now.

Anyway I have never seen the f word but the earlier episodes of bizarre foods and bourdain's shows were the best

>inb4 hurr durr hipster, "I liked their earlier stuff"

because they almost exclusively traveled to other countries

I really don't give a shit about some fucking hick food in buttfuck nowhere US

also the bizarre foods season where zimmern didn't even go anywhere and just narrated it was terrible

>>6563413
>also the bizarre foods season where zimmern didn't even go anywhere and just narrated it was terrible

That filler shit pissed me off.

The F Word is pretty good for recipes. Ramsey is really good at teaching people how to cook simple meals that taste really good.

>>6563418
>Ramsey is really good

*sighs*

First of all it's RamsAy, second of all: it is well, not good

He is really well at teaching people yadda yadda yadda

>>6563428
>*sighs*

Go back to whatever fag site you come from.

>>6563354

they're all trash

>>6563428
Are you a girl?

You have the kind of personality that makes me want to shit in your mouth.

How many shows does Gordon Ramsey have?

How does he find the time to actually be a chef at even half of his restaurants?

>>6563457
He's the owner. He hires head chefs to manage his kitchens. I think he creates the menus and that's about it.

>>6563457
He's stepped away from cooking professionally for about a decade now. He delegates his management to his trusted head chefs.

>>6563418

Yeah it doesn't surprise me that it would be good, I just haven't seen it. I didn't even realize that was the format of the show so I don't know how interesting it would be since I've been in the industry for so long. I'd probably still watch it if I ever saw it on tv, dunno if it isn't on anymore or it was wasn't on in america or something (yes I'm too lazy to google it)

>>6563428

>he is really well

>>6563462
This. Ramsey doesn't legitimately cook anymore, he gets his monies off branding and screaming in reality shows.

He's literally a meme chef.

>>6563470

the teenage is strong in this one

Bizarre Foods because it features some really delicious looking stuff. That whole Montreal episode, goddamn.

>>6563500
I've never seen the show, but what kind of crazy, fucked up food can you find in Montreal?

>>6563413

Bourdain is a known atheist, though he's not spiritually empty since he shows a lot of respect towards devout followers.

The F-Word of course. Where else can you see James May eating a bull's penis?

>>6563418
>Ramsay is really well at teaching people how to cook simple meals that taste really good.

u wat m8y?

>No Triple-Ds

>>6563470
wrong kiddo. can't wait for summer to be over.

>>6563470

Try watching some of his shows on BBC. Unlike the ones produced for an American audience, his Euro shows feature far less screaming.

>>6564039
That is the best snl thing I've ever seen

Martin Yan

>He's literally a meme chef.

>>6563354

They actually used the Facebook icon?

Anyway, I don't know because I've never seen the f word or No Reservations, I only know other shows with them. So I guess Man vs. Food.

But none top Triple D

They're all good.

No reservations> Bizzare foods> The F word > man vs food

in that order.'

bizarre food relies to much on shock value.
> OMG he is going to get a quail egg broiled in tuna urine. Dont really focus on interesting food.

man vs food is just watching a glutton make health insurance more expensive for everyone else.

The F word
Decent. Teaches some good recipes. never watched too much of it

NO reservations has most interesting host and the most raveling. nice mix between focus on food and travel.

>if Yan can do it, so can you!

I literally spent most of my childhood watching Yan can cook because my parents only wanted me to watch "educational" shows. Though I've not heard of Martin Yan in over decade.

>>6564196

his travel series in China is one of the best I've ever seen. actually learned something, not just the "oh look, it's tokyo/HK/Singapore greasy spoons again"

>>6563533

Some episodes don't really feature anything particularly bizarre. The Montreal one especially, the most bizarre ones were probably horse and seal meat.

Although the foie gras double down he had was kinda bizarre in that he didn't suffer 5 simultaneous heart attacks after eating it.

>>6563354
Who the fuck wants to watch a bunch of fat old dudes mansplain food for an hour? Y'all are fucked up

If anyone lives in Britain you should give Ainsley Harriot's new show a watch. Its called Street Food's

If you are from the USA then maybe you can find it online maybe

>>6563354
Bizarre Foods hands down

>>6564651
>maybe
where do you think you are?

>namefag
should have known you cunt. I hope you have a mandolin accident soon

Good Eats

A french chef could shit on a salad and Bourdain would lick his asshole clean. I prefer it when he sticks to street food rather than expensive uppity restaurants that need a reservation a year in advance.

Bourdain's new show on CNN is actually pretty good.
He gives a good mix of the local culture as well as the food.

>>6563354
i choose none, guy fieri is better than all of them combined, none of those chefs have ever even been close to flavortown let alone been there.

guy fieri is the mayor of flavortown btw

How to cook like Heston

Did anyone here ever watch Hell's Kitchen with /tv/?

The f word by far. He should do a US version.

>>6564842

No, then it would be filled with retards who can't even boil water and Ramsay turning into a screaming bitch.

>>6564827
This man knows his shit. Heston is love. Heston is life

>>6563428
No nigga, you're wrong. 'Well' is an adverb, if he were to have said "Ramsay teaches people really good". Then it would've been correct to replace it with well because he's desrcibing the conjugated verb 'teaches'. 'Good' is an adjective, and in the way the other poster was using it, was describing Ramsey - a noun, which it what adjectives do, not adverbs. Think in your example if you were to negate your statement by replacing well with an opposite adverb - "Ramsay is really badly at teaching people how to cook...." Sounds fucking weird doesn't it? It's because you're wrong.

BOURDAIN IS LOVE. BOURDAIN IS LIFE.

>>6564186
Bizarre Foods is hardly shock value, they go in depth on almost everything

>>6563354

The F Word.... only British can do shows like that. In each ep, you get a little cooking competition among the non-professional chefs, you get a few recipes, you get Gordon doing his home livestock project, you have an on-the-road food education project, the dining room celebrity food discussion. And of course Ramsay taking his shirt off in the lobby every time. I don't know if it's in his contract or something but every damn episode of nightmares or whatever, he has to be show getting undressed.

The fois gras bit was particularly good and honest - especially at the end when Gordon tasted both the ethical and less ethical and said the less ethical tasted best and he'd keep using it.

>>6563470
>Has a regularly updated youtube channel in which he cooks in his own kitchen
>Legitimately doesn't cook anymore

Go jump in a meat grinder, or at least cut out your tongue and all your fingers. We might surgically reattach them when you understand what the words "legitimate" and "literally" mean.

I miss young Marco. Without him we don't have Ramsay.

I've been a Bourdain fan for just about half of my life, so I've gotta go with him. He's the best at connecting cooking and food with life and society than anyone else, and his show actually takes risks in the way it's shot and edited.

That being said, I've watched a lot of the other three, and they're all good in their own ways. Man v Food is objectively the worst out of the 4.

Out of nowhere, and is by magic, a wild Floyd appears.

Anything with Michel Roux Jr.

>>6563354
Of the 4, Bourdain.

The best cooking show will always be Masterchef U.K. Nothing compares.

>>6563354
no reservations by far.

>>6563354
No reservations from those four.

Only real answer for cooking shows though is Iron Chef Japan.

>>6564651
He may only be an alright chef,but the facial expressions alone make him god tier

Joey is best. He bakes little Japanese bear cakes.

>>6566970
Oh you must be Ramsay's publicist

>>6569169

>nerdy nummies

>>6567711
Floyd uses Red Wine

It's super effective!

To actually watch on TV? Bourdain.

To learn from? Probably Ramsay.

>>6569951
I feel like Ramsey is the odd man out here, because a celebrity chef in the traditional sense, teaching people recipes and shit. The other 3 are food-based travel hosts, which is a completely different ballgame.

>>6569300
He's not actually wrong though.

>>6569169
>nerdy nummies
>mario coin noise

Can normalfags plz go? Although the pancakes did look cute.

>>6563500
>those Mexican grasshoppers

I want some.

>>6569956

That's why I'd rather learn from him, he still works in kitchens as far as I can tell. Bourdain is a badass, and I'd take any suggestion he'd care to give me, but I can't remember the last time I saw him cooking.

>>6569973
That's exactly my point. I feel like Ramsey should be compared to guys like Mario Batali and Alton Brown, not Bourdain and Zimmern.

>>6563354
Man v. Food
Is the only one of those that actually has food I'd see myself eating, or at least attempting to.

>>6569991
So you'd only eat glorified fast food? Shit that's fried, drenched in cheese sauce, and chicken wings?

I kinda look at these guys like uncles
Anthony may be off putting when you are younger but you start to really like and respect him in your teens
Andrew would just always be a cool uncle
Gordon shouldn't be around kids
Adam should have been gassed
And then there is Guy, he would have been THE SHIT when you are younger but you have some dumb disagreement or hear him say something dumb when you are a bit older and you realize soon after how infantile of a man he is.

>>6570026
Adam is more like a cousin than an uncle.

Gordon is actually the funniest out of all of them, and he's got a childlike insecurity and emotional immaturity that makes him so endearing.

>>6570017
Well yeah, I dislike "classy" cooking. I want to feel like I'm actually eating something, both in flavour and in quantity.

>>6570042
I don't think you're at all familiar with the kind of food Bourdain and Zimmern enjoy, or the kind of food that Ramsey makes.

>>6563354
Bourdain seem like he would be a cool guy to hang out with abroad, and ramsey is a badass I like him to, the other 2 meh

>>6563354
Love all 4.

Re: F-Word. I live in California. I haven't seen the F-Word on the tele in years. They used to show it on bbc america, but not anymore.

Anthony Bourdain is my favorite. I'd say it's the best.

But I clearly have a bias, so yeah...

Bourdain is a little too worshipful of "fine dining" because that's what he knows, but of the four I think he is probably the most philosophical. I think it's his old age that does it

Zimmern is probably the most "authentic" out of the four because he genuinely believes in the value of cuisine for its own sake, even if it is the most vile, disgusting shit on the planet. Plus out of all of them he has the best time hands down.

Ramsey is a chef's chef, he is a crusader for cooking as a valuable enterprise and a worthy goal that anyone can aspire to (sort of a pissed off Julia Childs).

Richman is about the spectacle of food and treating dining as a performance art. If he doesn't end up inventing some kind of eating dance by the time he dies I will be disappointed

>>6563354
Bourdain is the best. hes been my favorite for years.
