Thoughts on him?
Personally my cooking has transformed so much because of John. I love food wishes.com

Why use a book when John will teach you how to cook?

[Anonymous No.10753928]

he's great once you attune to his style of speaking

he's got good production quality, and doesn't talk to a camera for half of the video, that alone puts him at the top

[Anonymous No.10753933]

>>10753921
Is he.. a nigger?

Because if he is, I have to abstain from his "cuisine"

[Anonymous No.10753949]

>>10753933
Nah I think he's a wop who loves to say stupid puns and likes to say the ends of sentences REALLY fast and hard.

[Anonymous No.10753963]

>>10753921
It's weird going back to his older videos, when he doesn't speak with that odd cadence. Generally good instructional videos, much better than 90% of the stuff on youtube.

>tfw started adding a little cayenne to everything because of him

[Anonymous No.10754155]

You get used to the cadence IMO, I hated it at first but these days I can overlook it since the videos are of pretty darn high quality for a YouTube chef. Just used his calzone recipe tonight and all turned out well.

Was this image where he pose with the cheerleader of some basket ball team in one of those fast food restaurant?

[Anonymous No.10754221]

He's the reason I bingewatch cooking videos and became interested in cooking at all. Based fat man

[Anonymous No.10754231]

>>10753921
Based. He releases consistently great recipes and has good production. It feels like he's running out of recipe ideas lately though.

He's a fraud. He also rapes little children in his local church. Look it up.

That's fine. After all, you are the Ayn Rand of your cayenne.

[Anonymous No.10754943]

I’ve tried one or two of his recipes.

[Anonymous No.10755324]

I'm not white but his recipes help me learn western cooking and such, after following his recipes pretty much all of them were decent or good, wayyy better than store bought stuff, I've come to respect western cuisine more and the not spicy or plain food meme absolutely wrong and will be disregarded.

[Anonymous No.10755330]

Therre is some good food in the west, but a ton of people can't cook and the dishes really are often bland.

[Anonymous No.10755343]

I don't like the artistic freedom he takes with classic recipes. I want my food to be stone wall painting tier authentic.

[Anonymous No.10755363]

Always hated his intonation, but watched a video here and there if the recipes really interested me. Then at some point I got used to it and watched his videos every evening for a few days.
He is ok, but the videos got boring after a while.

I usually like him but he's gotten so dark lately.

I tried his Irish stew recipe for a party once, went well with everyone else, so I don't mind him.

[Anonymous No.10755813]

Love his videos, but the way he talks genuinely gives me a headache.

taught me a lot about cooking. swell guy.

channel started suffering in quality a lot about 10-12 months ago, recipes got way less interesting and way more "going through the motions". seems like he is busy, probably got hired to be executive chef somewhere

[Anonymous No.10756741]

>>10754231
>It feels like he's running out of recipe ideas lately though.

in his defence, he had done over 1000 recipes. New ideas get hard to come by at that point

[Anonymous No.10756749]

>executive chef
I live near SF and have run into him at a bunch of bars. He just drinks beer 24/7, definitely retired

[Anonymous No.10758136]

>>10753921

I love watching the Food Wishes videos on Youtube. Considering all the things he does (not just meals, but drinks, desserts, etc.) I've probably made around 50 of his recipes.

I like that explains a lot "why"s when cooking, to help you understand, not just telling you steps to follow.

Also, my wife HATES his voice.

[Anonymous No.10758146]

>>10758136
His voice is p annoying

[Anonymous No.10758152]

>>10756640
the dude's been really popular on youtube for a while, i doubt he's out looking for high stress chef jobs when he's double-dipping the youtube ad revenue and the hits on his blog.

[Anonymous No.10758157]

>>10756749
you've run into him at bars? ever say anything to him or just watch him get stinko from the other side of the room?

In fact, I was just looking at my list for meals to cook in the next week and two of them are Chef John related.

1.) I'll try that 'Bourbon Pepper Pan Sauce' for a steak that he just uploaded.

2.) I'm going to do those Italian Sausage-Spiced Baby Back Ribs too.

I only talk to him once specific criteria has been met.
I've never talked to him normally though

[Anonymous No.10758191]

>>10758182
was he cool talking to a drunk kid from the internet on his personal time?

[Anonymous No.10758259]

>>10758191
The specific criteria is once he is legit loaded off his ass and I try to convince him to come to my house to cook some Monte Carlo Sandwiches.
He's declined every time, that's why I make sure he is loaded when I ask him so he won't remeber shit.
From the encounters I've seen him had with other people though he seems like your typical drunk uncle who is always in a good mood. I've rarely seen him mad or upset

[Anonymous No.10758314]

>>10758259

I think you mean Monte Cristo sandwiches.

If you said Monte Carlo sandwiches, he probably thinks you're a fucking idiot.

[Anonymous No.10758324]

>>10758314
well spotted anon. although if he is as drunk as this guy says then it prolly wouldn't register.

[Anonymous No.10758338]

>>10758314
No I meant Monte Carlo Sandwiches it's my own variation.
I just wanted him to come over though so I could bend him over the bed and stuff him like a Turjey but I think hes caught on to my intentions since he doesn't get plastered at the bar I go to anymore.

[Anonymous No.10758348]

Anyway I've talked to him once, the first time I saw him. I didn't even recognize him because I didn't know what he looked like and he doesn't look really like the tiny YouTube profile pic.

It was the night after finals of my last semester at college, went to some random bar near the Mission I think to get really drunk. It was a bit hipster-y. I asked him what his favorite word was because that was something I did back then, he told me "cacao," because he just did a shoot involving cacao beans that day. I asked him what he did and he said he's a youtube food blogger named Chef John.

Told him I watch all his videos, made his fudge recipe, etc. Gave him a children's book I had in my backpack for some reason. Didn't have a phone but he took a picture of us and emailed it to me though. Felt like I might have been bothering him so I stopped talking to him after that.

When I left he just said "I hope you enjoyed your vegan soup". Wasn't sure if he was messing with me but it felt pretty surreal.

>>10759623
Why are you lying? You didn't meet him my dude

[Anonymous No.10759652]

I love him. His voice can be a little obnoxious, but his recipes are usually easy to follow, use readily-available ingredients, and are fantastic for learning basics up to complex concepts of cooking.
