[Anonymous No.12803331]

finally watched his videos, and i gotta say, i dont understand the hate. he just jumps right into the science of the topic at hand and explains it for laypeople, and doesnt try to do anything cringe worthy for views. It's certainly much better than Babish, who's basically the human equivalent of the ";p" emoji

I could upload videos where I jump right into explaining how moon crystals reflect sunlight into the ocean to control the tides, but that wouldn't make it true or interesting.

but really, he doesn't get into any science. some dweeb talking about kitchen science isn't science. you faggots believe anyone who translates wives' tales into chemistry jargon. i bet you think crust/sear on a steaks keeps the moisture in too.

It's bad science. If you really like science, then you shouldn't like what these kinds of people push. They completely misunderstand thermodynamics, boiling/freezing points, polar molecules, fats, acids/bases, etc. Because you actually need to go to school for that shit, not just skim wikipedia and regurgitate myths you overhear in the kitchen. The whole modernist cuisine thing didn't help because now you have idiots thinking they're chemists because they use shit like sodium citrate and boil their steaks in a bag. There's nothing wrong with being a chef, just do that. Stop trying to dress it up as a science.

I made these last night. The recipe is fucking solid and they may be the best fries I've ever had. Made some garlic aioli to go along with them. His roast chicken recipe is also incredible and his idea for chicken livers in bolognese is great

[Anonymous No.12804931]

Has Ragusea hired someone to do damage control on this fucking board? I get that Babish doesn't appeal to 4chan as he just does silly gimmick videos with basic techniques for teenagers and normies, but he's eminently watchable compared to this insufferable faggot. I hate him so god damn much. Looking forward to trying the oven fries recipe tho

[Anonymous No.12804952]

>>12804931
What is actually to hate tho? He gets right to the point, speaks clearly, doesn't claim to know everything and has pretty neat tips. Are you just autistic enough that different mannerisms from your own trigger you? I bet you hate Mark Wiens too because "man smile funny and me no wikey"

[Anonymous No.12804989]

>>12804952
idk who tf that is but yes, his mannerisms are obnoxious to me. When there exists a whole group of people who are alike and follow a dress code, ie all the buzzfeed tier e-personality soy enthusiasts, one cannot help compile their sins and judge the whole lot.
As far as what I dislike in Adam specifically, for someone you claim is so humble about his training he presents every video as if he's discovered some new cooking secret and everyone else who does it the normal was
is retarded.

Sucks mostly like him as a person seems to be an insufferable faggot, who falls back on
>muh 1 study
but besides that, he has a white family and is a proud Italian.
+ his food videos are short and not longer then 10 mins. So yeah

[Anonymous No.12805008]

>>12804998
I feel the biggest problem with "junk science" is he starts with a presumption, then finds a study which in the abstract proves his presumption. Or he just does the experiment himself and just says it works.
A big example is the bloomed coco powder

[Anonymous No.12805018]

>>12804998
If he didn't major in chemistry then he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about and he's just regurgitating McGee like every other food "scientist"

>>12805008
I just watched the video and 10 seconds in he says he didn't find any valid information, either for or against
He ended up testing it himself, so this really isn't a bad science video but a review/reaction video

>>12805018
I guess my problem with that statement is that repeating a correct statement without fully understanding it doesn't mean that the statement is now incorrect
I get what you're trying to say, but it's a bad argument to make

It is a valid argument to make. Without a background in chemistry, people like Adam are very susceptible to taking bullshit they read on the internet as fact and repeating it in an authoritative tone that makes their audience believe them.

>Without a background in chemistry, people like Adam are very susceptible to taking bullshit they read on the internet as fact and repeating it in an authoritative tone that makes their audience believe them.
But it's only valid if they are wrong
Adam tests his recipes so it's not as if he's just reading from a headline
Sure there's bias, but at the same time, how is he necessarily bad at science for reading something and testing it for himself to see if it works?

[Anonymous No.12805221]

>>12803331
He's an annoying nerd. Probably lubes his bull not his wife. Fuck off. Nothing he does is even fucking necessary and doesn't merit a 10 minute video. He just wants to feel smart by doing useless shit but it's just stupid fucking nonsense.

the problem with the bloomed coco is that he asked the question "is it better to put into hot water?" when he knew about it from when his relatives did it.
In reality just fucking looking at the cakes, eyes open, and tearing bits off is not a test.

I also tried these fries, and they are amazingly easy for such a great result. I would say, dont boil them too long, if so your fries will be crispy, but empty on the inside.
I went with about 6 minutes rather than the recommended 10 and the filling was good and creamy with the nice crispy exterior

>An anecdote of one trial means nothing.
Then treat it as that
One trial doesn't mean that the science is bad, it just means that we have one more trial to point us in the right direction

If you do what he did and you aren't getting the same result, then you can talk about it, make your own videos

It doesn't seem like he's trying to be the end all most of the time, just another step towards a simple and easy recipe that makes sense

[Anonymous No.12808289]

>literally "yaasss"ed in a video, it was the first time I've ever heard anyone say that shit out loud, it was retarded and he sounded like a faggot
>responded to a comment saying didn't want to do an enchilada video because it was cultural appropriation to make food from other cultures, haha OK you dago faggot but you're ok with making fries which is a Belgian/French dish; you've seem to have no problem appropriating other European cuisine
>his wife is extremely ugly and you can tell she's fat based on her body composition/the clothes she wears, she also has a dyke haircut and she didn't even take his fucking last name lmao, complete cuck, and ugly children as a result
