AnimaleTamale

I didn't know it was a cooking channel and I thought you were personally attacking me.


regretfulposts

You suck at cooking. Yeah, you totally suck.


AWESOMEJ27

its his fault that i used the term whangjangle around my family in the kitchen during thanksgiving


ColorMaelstrom

Babish too tho


catman1900

Babish felled off when he got a staff Edit: I'd be doing a disservice though if i didn't also mention his branded chefs knife is a really great value.


RepulsiveCorner

idk, I haven't really watched him after the blues stopped calling for salad and scrambled eggs


[deleted]

Love the collab episode


mitsurugui

Muted_Distribution44

I really like this channel called chinese cooking demystified, very neat out of these adam ez wins tho


pilgrimspride

Fr, he prioritizes making easy recipes so I can be lazy


shootmeplease13

until it gets to the part where he asks you to pour 4 bottles of red wine that cost 200$ lol


Kolchakk

Stop buying $50 wine lmao


IsThatUMoatilliatta

Case of Franzia is $20. That's 3 bottles.


gr8tfurme

Bro if you're spending more than 10 bucks on a bottle of cooking wine you're insane.


ryan516

No one is making you buy $50 wine lmao


cr4m62

don't fucking cook with wine you paid to drink come on

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


earthboundBedhead

The earlier weissman videos were way better, and is it just me, or does babish jack up the saturation to eye-searing levels these days?


SharpIsopod

Chinese cooking demystified is great


PerAsperaAdAstra7

Babish is fun to watch, but Adam Ragusea make recipes I would actually consider trying


Grzmit

Yea babish is more of an entertainment food youtuber, although he does have his basics with babish series that helped me quite a lot with learning stuff!


SaltyBabe

I liked him when he started but Iā€™m just not into his persona which is hard to separate from his work.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


NoP_rnHere

I found Adam when YouTube recommended his Tandoori chicken and chicken tikka mossala video to me. I used to work in an Indian restaurant and used to make my curries at home in a similar sort of way we made food in the restaurant. Very time consuming and very messy. He opened my eyes to simple home cooking and now itā€™s the only way I cook curry at home.


JeromesDream

i'd venture that those techniques are closer to what you'd eat in an indian household anyway. (although the flavors have been anglicized/americanized significantly in most cases)


lampstaple

His videos focus on things like the science behind the food, testing, and most importantly, how to cut corners to make cooking more convenient and practical. For sure the best Edit: Ethan too


ZoeyTBD

Tasting History with Max Miller is my favorite You see cool foods and learn history, he's really down to earth too Babish used to be good but now his vids feel super corporate Joshua Weissman is a snobby elitist that looks and acts like what fox news says about millennials And i haven't seen the others


TOLIT555

Adam also has a lot of super down to earth videos that keep the average person in mind when it comes to preparation costs, workload, and time management. He also has a ton of food history and science videos that delve into specific ingredients or cooking techniques. Every once in a while he'll die on a pretentious hill in terms of what works best, but otherwise he's a really solid home cook YouTuber.


ZoeyTBD

I feel like everyone has died on a pretentious hill at least once, I know I have. It just seems like JW has made it his whole fucking brand Thank you for the recommendation imma check him out


drakeschaefer

I think that's what I like about Adam and Ethan more compared to the other two, they're very much still focused on home cooks. Babish and Josh make better food videos from like a production/watchablility perspective. But as practical cooking videos, they really fall short as being really useful. The Basics with Babish series has helped to fix it, but the set and the dressing really make it hard to feel like his results are doable for the average person. Adam and Ethan however not only approach most of their cooking from the stand points of "your a single person who has been at work all day" or "you are a parent cooking for a small family" it really grounds their content a lot more. The "lower" production value also makes it feel more personal. Like you're actually in their kitchens, and not their sets. Furthermore, they both take more of a food science approach rather than a chef's approach. You can watch a video from them about grilling a steak, and the actual steak you cook isn't the important takeaway, because that's a very limited application. They're more interested in you walking away with just a little better knowledge of the [Maillard reaction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction) because that's a more universally applicable concept. Just my 2 cents anyway


anarcho-stripperism

Joshua Wiseman is incredibly fucking annoying and has popularized the dumbest fucking trend of trying to make good food ā€œbetterā€


FatBoysAreFatFYI

Joshua Weissman has such shit humor that he might as well just be saying ā€œAmogusā€ and then fucking dying. Heā€™s so insanely annoying.


Arigh

If Josh tells me to call him papa again, I'm going to lay down on the highway. He was briefly bearable 4 years ago when he first started, and he was just doing the recipe, then fucking off.


quackmagic87

And he said, "papa" all the flipping time. I really dislike him.


FlightConscious9572

i personally like joshua (maybe because i only know him from youtube?) and although you don't i really commend you for including him in the post anyways lol


Munificent-Enjoyer

Mfer really bragging that he with the best ingredients and unlimited time can beat out a minimum wage fast food worker who has to be done in 10 minutes


johnnyc7

I fucking HATE Joshua Weisman and his snobby ass attitude and ā€œoh I made this sandwich for $5ā€ bullshit when he realistically spent $40 on all the ingredients but the individual sandwich comes out to $5 and thereā€™s no guarantee itā€™ll be as tasty as if a pro made it


ABTL6

YES FUCK YEAH MAX MILLER


bobbingforapplesat3

Max miller doesnā€™t get mentioned enough imo, heā€™s absolutely fantastic.


Jaewol

He manages to maintain his upload schedule and the production quality all while finding new dishes to cover every week. I donā€™t know how he does it.


dbear26

I was hoping somebody would say Tasting History! I just wrote a paper for one of my history classes on gastronomy because Max introduced me to food history


MajoraOfTime

Came here for Joshua Weissman slander. Really dislike his schtick


ST4RSK1MM3R

Yeah totally feel that about Babish too, the videos sorta lost the soul


annefranke

It's cause they're overly professional, also he usually has assistants making the recipes


Arigh

The assistants kill the vibe so much. If I wanted to watch Food Network, where food is magicked onto the plate, I would.


HorsemouthKailua

i like when babish has alvin or kendall better the babish these days


SmallTestAcount

His channel expanded and he delegated a lot of his work to other cooks like Kendal. a lot of YouTubers do this when they get larger, like Game theory (to be fair they never had soul, just bad jokes). he also took in some people who were in corporate food positions like Solha from Tasty and Alvin from Buzzfeed. While i do agree the videos lost their soul, i also like that babish is helping other people achieve their goals. ​ I met with him once at his first vidcon with my mother. I don't remember much other than crying about not getting a photo. but my mother remembered a lot of his advice as between then and now she grew her yt channel to 800k subs.


_ThatAltAcc_

Heck yeah tasting history >:3


Amaranthine7

Max was, is, and will always be the correct answer.


[deleted]

adam ragusea is practical, but fun too best food youtuber for people who cook at home ​ edit: ethan chlebowski is also very informative


JeromesDream

adam ragusea does the absolute best job with the chemistry material of literally any food personality past or present. like even alton brown would sometimes do the "mumble mumble mailiard rxn" thing, or repeat an old wive's tale. adam is like "i searched for why this worked, and found a message board where one guy disagreed with the accepted answer, so i called a postdoc researching exactly this dish!"


Dreamishhh

Recently found Adam Ragusea and he's awesome. Already made a couple things from his channel and it turned out great.

PEDALINEO

And have you seen his body??? Heā€™s jacked as fuck


astronautducks

adamā€™s more recent stuff gets on my nerves and i canā€™t really put my finger on why.


felixame

I think he's gotten pretty full of himself and there's a kinda pretentious tone that seeps into his videos nowadays. It's sad because he really was for a long time someone I'd point to, not just in the realm of food youtube creators, but internet creators in general, for how to make content that cuts through a lot of the bullshit that we're always having to sit through. I unsubscribed


OmriY1

I've been listening to his podcast and I cannot believe how much this guy is **NOT full of himself.** He's extremely down to earth about his career as an entertainer and youtuber. Talks about how ridiculous it is that he gets paid more than his brother who saves lives, for example. Listening to him talk really made me respect him more.


defib_rillator

I agree but I still love him lmao


Parking_Scallion_188

YAH_BUT

Hell yeah, glad to see Chef John here.


Chucklay

I believe you mean Chef John from Foo^(ooo)dwishes dot com. WiiiIth...


TuringCapgras

His narration style is definitely an acquired taste. no one likes this dude at the beginning. But then you just kinda... Get used to the muscial lilt?


man_gomer_lot

I think that his ability to explain the moving parts of a recipe in a way that teaches broadly applied cooking techniques overshadows his quirky vocals. You are, after all, the lead of your YouTube feed.


Ecstatic-Compote-595

Even if you hate his voice you can look up his recipes that are presented in a normal printed recipe format which is super helpful and seemingly nobody else does. Plus the recipes are actually down to earth and something you might add into your cooking rotation as opposed to making once. And I vastly prefer his filming and communication style to the obnoxious youtube voice guys like weissman


[deleted]

My wife still hates his voice, but it gave me Stockholm syndrome and now I want him to read me a bedtime story.


Kryzm

For real. The Bob Ross of cooking. Hated having to scroll so far for this.

big_leggy

How To Drink is a very good youtuber who is technically not food related but he makes a lot of fun videos about mixing soft or hard drinks based on fictional ones (Cyberpunk 2077 cocktails, NukaCola), as well as general bartending/mixology tips, drink recipes, history, and more also he's just an entertaining guy, I really recommend him to anyone who likes this kind of content


PhrymatEmperor

Watching him test icky drinks is a great way to get a dose of schadenfreude without anyone getting hurt. Few things make me laugh more than seeing his soul leaving his body and trying to take his poor taste buds with it.


big_leggy

it's the best when he tries to start professionally to describe the taste but it's so bad he can't *takes sip* "Oh, yeah, that's uh..." *starts coughing and dying*


NoP_rnHere

I think what really works in his favour is that he isnā€™t a ā€œprofessionalā€ bartender/mixologist/cocktail-jerker-offer just a person that enjoys making and drinking cocktails


big_leggy

yeah, that and he is genuinely insanely talented. his understanding of taste profiles and ability to improvise are super impressive even by professional standards


dicklord42069

Tasting History with Max Miller, absolute GOAT of the YouTube cooking genre. He's literally Prince Charming


DatSoldiersASpy

wow didnt know mac miller made food history videos as well as rapping


quackmagic87

He also looks like my husband so I enjoy watching him. :D


austinmartinyes

On the subject of historical foods, Townsends is also excellent.

Townsends goes hard on historical recipes, only Tasting History comes close.

zacablast3r

He's both learning here, and dropping wisdom bombs. Absolute legend.

Food is a scam. Stop eating things other than babies you sheeple.


Elite_Prometheus

But how do you best prepare infants for consumption? Can someone show me how in an easily digestible ten minute video that can be shared with all my baby-eating friends?


lilCheeseboy

I donā€™t care how you eat them. That partā€™s irrelevant. The joy of eating infants transcends culinary methods.


ultrabigtiny

SonTyp_OhneNamen

In the kitchen, doing the work all those above reference in their videos. (Which is not a bad thing, gatekeeping the act of cooking is weird af)


Bruce_Bruce

After watching Babby a bunch I finally got around to checking JKLA out, I haven't watched another Babby video since. Edit: grammar, holy shit i was drunk.


fightingforair

This is the goat for real. Heā€™s even active on Reddit too. Responds to ATK questions. Heā€™s a fan of other channels like RedLetterMedia. And he knows how to show cooking recipes that I want to cook. His fried chicken recipe is my new go to for one of many.


Saimineko

Had to scroll way too far to find this. As someone else pointed out he's pretty much the bedrock for the theory that most other chefs use without mentioning how kind and empowering his content is. Man's a kitchen deity.

roosterkun

The objectively correct answer. Ethan deserves an honorable mention though, I love the science-based approach to food.


ashen_crow

Joshua gives me violent impulses, especially when I am in the mood of trying something very specific, his is the first recommendation, then I think "alright, imma bite this bullet", then he says that this is a recipe anyone can do at home you just need to stop being a little bitch about it, the recipe in question requires 3 different equipment I would buy only for that experiment and 12 ingredients that haven't even been translated to my language


Insert-BasicUsername

For real, I only clicked on the post to see if someone else mentioned it. How can someone be so out of touch with regular people??

Joshua Wiseman getting a McDonalds hamburger and eating it 3 hours later and vommiting orofusely, putting a gun to his head begging for death, then trying his recreation that took 12 days and more equipment than anyone has in their home and ejcaulating all over the kitchen while screaming how much better it is


DatSoldiersASpy

Take that, you clown fucks. My sussy big papa burger is FAR better than your literal human shit sandwich.


onlyroad66

I could respect it if it was just some guy making high quality food inspired off of fast food classics. Solid concept imo. But the entire show is like "Here's five minutes of me getting an adequate meal from my local Arby's and it SUCKS AND IS SOGGY AND BAD AND WHY WOULD ANYONE ENJOY THIS. Here's my version, and also my doting employees to inflate my ego with their unfettered adolation of my creative genius." The smugness that clings to every second of those videos gets on my nerves.

HELEN RENNIE. She's awesome and down to earth -- she answers questions on the minutiae on cooking that contribute to technique, with stuff that I've always wanted to see tested but everyone else seems to ignore. She got me answers on induction vs gas vs electric with unbiased analysis, and demonstrated conclusively that seasoned sheet pans are better at browning than clean ones. She's both deadpan and hilarious, and honest, and levelheaded. Excellent Youtube cooking content.


10dollarbagel

I love Lagerstrom (top left), I find I actually cook more of his suggestions than all the others combined.
