Ethan. Ethan does it way better because he actual caters to the home cook and includes shit like clean up time. Josh literally just used this video to show off. Also I don't buy the taste test at the end declaring him the winner. He rushed the shit out of dish and both the chicken and sauce were done pretty poorly

[Anonymous No.17471163]

I can't stand this faggots content.
He's so annoying, so flamboyant, his editing and shitmemes are so bad and he always acts super pretentious, especially since he made a big deal about switching from imperial to metric in his recipes.
In terms of generic cooking youtubers I much prefer Chlebowski who seems way more genuine about his cooking passion despite still looking and acting pretty faggoty. Must come with the territory of being a youtuber for a living.
My favorite channels are Chinese Cooking Demystified and Kenji Lopez because they have a genuine passion and don't waste time with any bullshit talk they get right into the meat of what they're making, the background/culture behind it, and the science of why a dish works or is prepared the way it is.

[Anonymous No.17471215]

>>17471163
Agreed. He's annoying and pretentious

My personal faves also include Kenji. Internet Shaquille and Foodwishes are pretty based, and Marco's content is occasionally viable.

Babish was fine until he got big, it was a straight forward "this is what we're doing how it is in the show/movie". He somehow got the idea people were liking him and not whatever thing he was making and is trying to get his face everywhere. There was a point you never saw his face, now you see it at least once every video

Not to mention his logo for his fucking product is his face. It's embarrassing. He's also shoving more 'humor' into his videos now which just stretches out an already bloated video.

I agree, he was good before he got famous

[Anonymous No.17471251]

>>17471238
He went shit when he started pretending to be an actual authority on food and cooking. He literally has no culinary background and makes so many mistakes - which is fine when you're doing fun videos about food from movies and TV - but it doesn't work when you start doing instructional videos, especially when almost every single recipe is something he's taken from somewhere else rather than it being his own ideas or research

The absolute stupidity of Josh's "BUT BETTER" series is that he takes basic fast food items that are cheap and fast, and makes a homemade version but with infinite extra time and unlimited budget.

Like wow you can make everything from scratch and make something of better quality when you have all the time in the world and are willing to spend 700% more than the fast food item to make it.

[Anonymous No.17471307]

>>17471294
I'm really enjoying Ethan's new series where he races his brother to cook a better dish of the same kind by the time he gets back with the fast food. There's only a couple of episodes of that out but the race factor is exciting and Ethan's just his usual educational self.

[Anonymous No.17471327]

>>17471294
The one that gets me is his "but cheaper" series. It's like he thinks that you're only paying for the ingredients when you buy a meal rather than the service and it being cooked for you. If you added minimum wage for every hour you have to spend cooking one of his "but cheaper" recipes, it isn't going to end up being cheaper

The botched series is unwatchable precisely because he decided to make it half a stand up comedy routine staring himself and his friends.

[Anonymous No.17471354]

>>17471336
Yeah he was eating his words this second episode. You can tell the first one he was fucking going at it to beat his brother back with the fast food and I think him beating the taco bell drive through so thoroughly made him complacent for the chikfila sandwich. He was just lackadaisically cleaning stuff and had to rush to finish. He also cheated a little by stopping the clock before assembling the sandwich because he already lost.

[Anonymous No.17471358]

>>17471163
I agree except for Kenji. Having a pretentious name and then taking your wife's last name is beta incarnate. I can't stand speakers/presenters who say "uhmm" twenty five thousand times in a ten minute video.
Lastly, when he eats what he makes at the end. His mouth makes the most disgusting, sloppy sounds I have ever heard. I would beat him to death if I had to eat a meal with him.

The thing I love about Kenji is not just his food's good but he regularly talks about ingredient substitutes. If I don't have some fancy mushroom for the dish he's making he'll say what I should use instead to approximate.

Life sucks when you're poor. You have to make food delicious with whatever you can and also when you're poor you work fucking shitload more time than people that sit in their homes doing spreadsheets for a few hours and playing on their phones for the rest of the time. Meal prep is practically class culture.

I get the question of time, but chicken develops an unpleasant taste after a few days.

Don't get me wrong, I do eat leftovers and reheated food all the time, but making so much chicken means you'll have to eat the same meal everyday unless you freeze it.

Love that shit. More cooking channels should take the 10 seconds it takes to talk about substitutes for regional or hard to find ingredients. Chinese Cooking Demystified does a lot of that too, recreating rarer Chinese ingredients out of more normal pantry items.

CCD is good too. I love some the soups I've tried which helped me develop my own recipe for my favorite soup to make. They also held their nose and taught me how to make super crispy chicken thigh chunks like the Americanized Chinese restaurants make for tso's and sesame chicken which I use in my honey-sriracha chicken recipe.

This is why Atomic Shrimps budget challenges are the best. When he says he's making 3 meals from £1's worth of ingredients, he actually goes to the shop and films himself buying everything with just £1.

Internet Shaq sucks. There's a few interesting eyecatchy concept videos but he literally doesn't do recipes. Does he even cook? I unsubscribed after that like "You Have To Eat Your Vegetables" video because I agree with the concept and had high hopes for it but he literally didn't cook anything in it, he just listed off types of cooking and gestured towards first-page-of-google images for "roasted vegetables" "sauteed vegetables" "vegetable confit", etc. Limp dick shit.

Anyways FoodWishes is the GOAT but everyone knows that. My Name Is Andong is a great and incredibly unique channel I never see being discussed. And Pro Home Cooks has a vibe I can kinda see rubbing some people the wrong way (his brother in the earliest videos is the real swirly one, but split a while back) but has a lot to offer, similarly overlooked. Simple recipes, lots of them, informative the whole way through, and several theme videos that do a good job of breaking down the common "how-to"s into base concepts to better understand the Why's of the way things are done. Those are my recommendations.

The more I learn about cooking, the more I see Chef John as pretty middle of the road when it comes to all things.

His refried beans recipe is really bad, particularly when you compare to authentic Mexican recipes that take more than 30 minutes stirring to get the bean to be really pasty and thick. His was like a soup.

He also can't bake for shit; just look at how he handles raw dough.
