Why is this guy even called reddit anyway? Is it because he makes food vaguely related to pop culture? And give me a break about complaining about advertising. Literally all youtubers do that and you can skip it. It's not even sneaky, youtube will tell you that there is a paid promotion.

Chef John actually knows what he's doing, responds to criticism in the comments rather than just getting his dick sucked 24/7, has a decent and unique sense of humor, doesn't have a patreon, doesn't shill on reddit, focuses on technique and showing skill, rather than the upper half of his body and no cutting or prep, and he does a good amount of unique recipes rather than shit from movies that you could just google for.

>>9602063
12,000 on patreon for producing shit like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLBm8TaXyQE is actually pretty admirable. He's a top tier jew and puts on a persona that people actually perceive as knowledgeable and skilled. And then it falls apart when he says "per nod" and doesn't understand that the reason you curl fingers is for safety, not grip. That and when he tries to use a pastry bag. Why even upload that shit?

not that person. no, your technique is fine if you want to dice. The only problem is that he's not curling his fingers to properly use as a guide (and for safety) and half the time he's pushing down rather than actually slicing. Also a really shitty technique of cutting a mango. On some of the older threads, people would post that picture of him cutting a carrot with his fingers practically extended, which looked really bad.
