So, how do you guys feel about him?

One of my favorite food channels right now, second only to Foodwishes. My GOOD friend Chef John has never let me down.

[Anonymous No.9136065]

You can't like him because reddit does because channers have a superiority complex where they think anything reddit likes is shit

I made the Goodfella's prison sauce and it was really great. I've never made much Italian food, though.

That sauce was still so meaty, rich and decadent tasting. I love Italian sausage too, so it really couldn't go wrong.

No way. I don't like him already. I'm claiming it so that I can unironically say that i didn't like him before it was cool to do so.

Chef John's video on hashbrowns created a household meme for me. Back at home, every time I cook hashbrowns and watch the video to remind myself how to make them, my mom calls me the boss of my breakfast potatoes just like he does :)

There is a particular brand of entertainment and culture which is synonymous with hipsters and cringeworthy behaviour, originating around the turn of the decade. Reddit just happens to be a hub for that culture, it isn't that we hate everything just because it comes from there.

>actually defending this kind of bullshit

The guy makes money from Youtube and starting a patreon is the biggest load of shit money grab you can do. It's incredibly obnoxious to assume people should be paying you to produce content that you would have anyway and the fact that people fall for it is retarded. It's always under the guise of "help support my patreon and I'll be able to deliver more content" which translates to "give me extra money I don't deserve so I can put in the exact same amount of effort I was before but have more time off from work now"

That's really not the point I was making. He's a flavour of the month e-celeb with a shitty gimmick and terrible sense of humour and people give him money for content he would have made at the same pace.

Since shills are here, I'll post what I said in the last thread.

He recommended using "crappy, big jug burgundy", which I will assume is Carlos Rossi. His meat was absurdly sized (he had to use a knife to cut it) and by the end the "stew" was drier than a piece of paper I didn't bother to watch any other videos because I already know he is bottom tier shit.

Alright, it's obvious you can't be fooled, so I'll just admit: he's paying me (and others) to go to /ck/ and promote his channel. Nobody really enjoys his channel, all his subscribers are just shills.

His hamburgers look disgusting.

[Anonymous No.9139762]

Entertaining but does not faithfully attempt to recreate "unknown" recipes from shows.
Also his ratios for ingredients is whack as fuck. I made his aglio e olio one time and it was SUPER oily and had entirely too much parsley.
Cut the oil in half, doubled the pepper flakes, and quartered the parsley and it was fucking amazing.

You have it wrong. We need a label for things which suck in a certain kind of way, e.g. they're deliberately trendy in place of being actually good, and reddit is the label we use since those kind of things tend to be popular over there.

He's got good production but I feel like all his videos just contain techniques and recipes from other youtube channels. He just did a video with Sean Evans and made a smash burger and it was the biggest waste of time.

From watching some, he seems to be aware of the proper way to use and hold a knife, but he also seems to have been cooking for a long time casually and has a hard time breaking his bad habits. I'll see him start out with a proper pinch grip, but then slowly his index finger works its way onto the spine.
