Late 90s early 2000 was the best time for cooking tv

>Alton Brown: actually explaining the reason and method behind cooking for the first time and dispelling stupid myths and wives tales while teaching fundamental techniques and skills
> Shops at Publix

>Paula Deen: great tasting southern food that with the relaxing feel of sweet southern grandma
>Was racist and based AF and wanted to have a slave wedding on a plantation

>Mario Batali: Italian classics as well as high end stuff for the time, solid technique, seems like a normal guy
>Has a hot ass wife, is still fucking so many bitches he gets canceled before that was even a thing

>Iron chef: one of the first cooking game shows, able to watch actual high class chefs and get into their mind, actual cooking, unique and interesting dishes, commercial but somehow has 100 times more personality and soul than chopped or other modern cooking game shows
>Let the battle begin

> Emeril Lagasse: doing coke, laying down classic Italian American and cajon food
>Baaam!


Somehow all the shows in the 90s early 00s were commercial and were shooting for Mass appeal trying to cater to as many people as possible, but yet they somehow felt a lot more genuine than today.
They all had different and unique personalities, Each show had a different feel. It was not like today where every single person looks talks and sounds the same. Now they all make the same recipes and have the same mannerisms and opinions and styles

You could replace Ethan jabroski, Max Miller, Adam rugosia, binging with buttfuck whatever that shit epicurious did after they canceled that goth baker chick. All the same, all identical soulless cash grabs with no heart.

Fuck David Chang, fuck that zoomie jewtuber with the curly hair that is trying to make you buy thousands of dollars of equipment, fuck pioneer woman her fake southern shtick it's 1000x more obvious and played out then Paula deens ever was.

Take me back boys.
