Whenever anon posts that dick on /ck/, I a small ray of hope shines in my heart, that he was caught in a housefire and died a horrible death. Then, invariably, I find he's still alive and I'm left with anger.

I don't understand. What's the story /ck/?

>> No.4908112

Alton Brown should do a show with Les Stroud.

Les can keep them alive; start fries and catch/collect food and Alton can try to prepare the food Les brings back.

how can you hate a guy who helped thousands of people learn about food/cooking? he is making his money by hurting nobody as far as we know and has never spoken ill of any group that i know of.

oh i get it, YOU are the insufferable prick who hates because its easy.

Food Network and Discovery Channel are trash now.

A few years ago I would've said Discovery Science Channel, but even that's gone down the tubes.

because he is an arrogant douche and his way of presenting material and information is the way a middle school teacher would do it for a 12 year old.

There's a reason for that. It's a good, easily understandable way to learn something.

I know my shit when it comes to cooking so I can't say Alton has ever especially helped me, but I respect him for what he does.

Get fucked, angry anon.

>> No.4908867

You're fucking stupid, that way of teacher is great for people who's only cooking skill is frozen pizzas and sandwhiches.

Which is the exact type of people his shows are for.

Shut the fuck up.

>> No.4908871

>>4908811
Yeah, people with the intelligence of a 12 year old is the core audience here. I knew someone, I think she was around 33, and said she watched this show and was amazed to learn food continues to cook after you take it out of the oven. I just assumed that would be common knowledge to everyone, but it's surprisingly not.

>> No.4908877

>>4907518
At first one of my faves. I love getting into how things work absolutely the best ; then yeah then he warmed up shit for idiots who consider non-traditional ok and that was too much. I want authentic flavors and taste not watered down half arsed remakes. I can do without murrican twist on good stuff.

Considering your grammar your idea of "Authentic flavors and taste" consists of stale, dry cookies, baked beans, and meat in pies.

I think the difference is that B. Nye actually knows of what he speaks. Cooking is science as much as art is science.

I like the guy. None of his information is breaking news, but he's endearingly perky and most of the food looks good.

are you fucking retarded? cooking may not in itself be a science but theres an unmeasureable amount of chemistry and thermodynamics involved in food prepareation.

I love Alton Brown, but apparently he kind of sucks IRL.

The joke about blacks is hilarious, just an audience mismatch, but the rest of it is kind of eh.
