Nobody here talks about him because:

>has a personality that isn’t obnoxious
>no zoomer faggotry
>no authentico italiano DOP originale schvitzing

A bit Italian-American centric but that’s his heritage and the recipes are always good, can’t hate the guy.

I assume it is referring to the flour that the pasta is made from being organic

He is a complete and utter insufferable faggot. I would fucking DECK him IRL totally srs.

That said, quality recipes, focusing on the right cuisine, using the right products, etc. Genuinely logical dishes that are probably made while he has a fucking dildo in his ass.

Retard. Anyways, he's not "brown", he's of Italian descent, making him whiter than you, even if his skin is fairly dark.

Southern Italians can be light brown, or as coping Europeans call it, swarthy.

Like many southern euros, he started out pretty pale, then rapidly became darker as he approached 30. That's him on the left.

Aside from his incredibly cringe insistence on using mayo on grilled cheese in place of butter and his Brooklyn guinea-isms that I grew up around far too much of, he's got solid recipes with no bullshit presentation skills.

I moreso meant presentation as in how he is literally presenting the recipe, there's no cringey jokes or showmanship, it's all straight forward and no bullshit. He also stopped doing the cutting board thing ages ago.

His recipes sound good on video but when you actually try them they always have at least one step that is super sus
>Use vodka to deglaze pan prior to adding tomatoes for vodka sauce. This helps ensure the overwhelming majority of the alcohol cooks off prior to contacting the tomatoes, which would be the whole point
>Roasted shortribs recipe didn't specify any instructions for basting the meat, including a water tray, or some other means of keeping it moist, so if you follow these instructions to the letter it will come out dry.
>Butternut squash pasta involves boiling the squash instead of roasting it, which is just throwing flavor out the window
Just from the recipes I remember trying. I view him as a good reference to check what recipes work as a high level overview but then look elsewhere for actual directions.

Vodka is nothing but a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water. It has no additional sugars or flavor besides this, like wine, whiskey, and other alcoholic drinks do. Once the alcohol cooks out in vodka, you're left with just water. Since alcohol has a lower boiling point than water, if you add it to any kind of sauce that is then simmered, cooking out all the alcohol is guaranteed to happen. In short, on it's own, vodka adds 0 flavor to a sauce. You add it solely because there are flavor compounds in tomatoes that are alcohol-soluble. The idea is that the vodka will draw those compounds out of the tomatoes before the alcohol has time to boil away, thus making a more flavorful sauce. If you dump the vodka into a hot pan prior to even adding the tomatoes, there's obviously no opportunity for this to happen. Any vodka that boiled off at this stage, before the tomatoes were added, was wasted.
Also, this is why a lot of bakers like using vodka in pie crust: instead of using 2 parts water to make the dough, they use something like 1 part water and 1 part vodka (I don't remember the exact ratio). The alcohol cooks out when it goes into the oven, so the dough won't taste boozy. But when this happens, it takes 50% of the vodka's volume with it. The crust comes out flakier and lighter than would be possible if you made it with only water, because a bunch of moisture got sucked out in the oven.

That he's not worth talking about, obviously.

Very interesting. Thank you, Anon.

[Anonymous No.16814703]

>>16814068
Just to amend the pie crust bit: it also makes the crust less chewy. Water drives gluten development, so reducing the amount of water in the dough, while still being able to bring the dough together, will cause less gluten development. One way to do this is by replacing 50% of the water with alcohol (i.e. using vodka).

he's pretty good, and unlike a lot of other yt cooking fags he has actual experience working with food(even ran his own food truck for quite some time). so much of what he does is understandably Italian though, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. learned a few things from him over the years too.

i haven't watched a lot of his vids but that grilled cheese recipe he made is truly amazing, so so good. my new preferred way to eat grilled cheese. i don't care if it's a melt because there's stuff on it besides cheese, it's good.

[Anonymous No.16815655]

I like this guy. His recipes are great, and relatable. He doesn't do a bunch of shit with hard to find ingredients, or make some 36 patty burger or worlds biggest (whatever) like Sam the cooking Jew. That said, he really needs to ditch the damn bandana and yes, he does look like he smeared himself with dirt cooking oil. But we know why, having Sicilian roots, watch the event from true romance to find out.

He makes really solid Italian American and traditional italian recipes. As a dirty EYEtalian American from NY myself, his recipes are extremely legit and taste exactly the way they should.
However, not a fan of some of the other stuff he does, I think he does the pastas and stuff best.

I find his scarf annoying, and I refuse to watch his videos solely for that reason. But beyond that, he's low tier. Not Binging with Babish disgusting tier but really not interesting tier.

I like his videos. He seems like a bro and not an utter faggot like joshua weissman for example.
I rarely do his full recipes as they tend to have a lot of carbs but what I have tried so was good. "a RARE PASTA SAUCE" was one my family and I enjoyed.
