Why is there so much differing opinions on this guy, on here? Adam Ragusea, is he shit or is he good? Like one guy says his recipes are shit, because they don't look good, another says it's fine for everyday cooking. I don't get it.

Adam, like Kenji, have no background in food. Adam was a journalist and Kenji went to school for architecture.
Both of them have no innate concept of food, they can only parrot, or brute force their way to finding a somewhat palatable dish.
"People" like Kenji and Adam because they apply the scientific method blindly to food and purport their way is correct because of some arbitrary "science" they applied.
In reality they are both paper skinned navel gazing faggots, who have such a huge chip on their shoulder because they know they're both in positions they do not belong, nor ever will, so they will explode on even the slightest of criticisms.
They are both also huge virtue-signaling idiots.

I send them both detailed emails every time they release a video telling them every single way they fucked up. I know they read it. I know it bothers them. I know it makes them angry. They have never responded directly, but have brought up my points in subsequent videos, letting me know I got under their wafer thin skin

Some of his recipes and tips look like they can be decent, but his cooking style just comes off as soulless min-maxxing that is just tiring. He's the epitome of this newfound obsession with science that you see a lot in fitness as well where it's all about studies, chemical compounds, protein structures and other bloat that is just unrelatable and useless, unless you're a pseud STEM-tard who watches Rick and Morty.

His voice sounds like it's perpetually on the verge of cracking and his "comedy" is just acting like a pompous faggot so there's that as well.

I agree with you about the "min-maxxing" thing, hobbies are supposed to be fun. Why make it this neurotic, high strung endeavor? I wonder how many food-related spreadsheets Adam has on his personal computer.

>>18840497
at least kenji's recipes actually come out the way he says, and he does care about food. ragusea is literally just a video essayist and not even a cook. his videos are just inspo for guys who can't cook but want to eat healthier and save money and don't care about the slop they're eating.

>> No.18840699

>>18840659
Yeah, cooking is art and art is about soul. I really dig Bourdain and Mario Batali because the way they talk about food is loving and poetic. It feels like they respect the history of it, myths, traditions and even the misconceptions included.

Adam in comparison feels like such an autistic poser sperg who lacks any larger understanding and just lectures on about whatever salt is best for his home-kitchen recreation of NY-style pizza.

Agree, no background in food is not a valid argument. You can criticize quality of their videos, recipes and techniques but stating that they have no background in food is irrelevant.

Damn this is fire my guy, with quotes like these, he's killing the guy
>I’m looking up a cooking video, doesn’t it stand to reason that “what I want to do” is cook?
>“my goal with these videos is to give you a sense of how the food should look and feel as you’re cooking it, rather than give you a refined formula to reproduce”. I can verify that the formula he did offer was indeed unrefined.
>“back when I had no children or real responsibilities, I spent months trying to make perfectly smooth macarons”. ... the resentment is palpable ... cooking is still a hobby we like, and we have plenty of free time to devote to it! It’s not a career we’re stuck in because we made the decision to have a bunch of kids we now need to support!
