Pic related. Setting aside his apparent preference for younger boys, he was an excellent cook and fantastic teacher. You can quibble all you want about how 'frugal' he really was, fine, but he was really good on TV.

His dishes are pointlessly impractical. Nobody needs to spend 24 hours to roast a chicken. He also looks like a total fucking need.

Chef John is great for your average Westerner looking to make just about anything. I always check if he has a recipe for something before I try anyone else's.

The first cookbooks I ever read (checked out from library) were by him.
He was the man who woke the masses in America to the magnificence of Parmigiano Reggiano.
His show was always entertaining.
Truly a shame how he's being erased from food history.

His knife skills were really fun to watch. I remember meeting him at a cooking convention when I was a kid. My mom wanted to get his autograph at the end and it was surprising to hear him speak without an accent. I guess the accent was just for marketing.

He was a really nice guy though. There were at least +20 people wanting to get his autograph and he took the time to be personable to all of them. He's like the Mr. Rogers of Chinese cooking.

I live in very northern Minnesota. Tomato season is the greatest thing to happen to humanity since the invention of the Lindy rig. Fresh, home-grown tomatoes are peak summer and they're absolutely relished up here.

Would just sit at my counter watching my dad cook, he wasn't amazing but showed me the fundamentals. A lot of my friends think I'm a good cook cause I can whip up a bunch of different stuff and cook all my own meals, but they are the type that order in all there meals, or when they dont its stuff like frozen pizza, tendies, canned soup etc
