Good quality but just arrived way too late to the YouTube chef game.
I already have enough people I watch and all of them do a way better job and have a much better playlist backlog.
He has a nice camera setup.
But I don't give a fuck about that.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand The Wolfe Pit. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Larry’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE.

>His ACTUAL FOOD ones he completely halfasses.

He still does exact replicas before he makes a more standard recipe, so your "point" is still completely invalid.

Yeah he's reddit tier but to if you wanna make a successful show on YouTube you pretty much have to be in this day and age. What, do you want him to scream all Ramsay style or autist it up like reviewbrah? No thanks.

He presents shit in a straightforward, honest manner and has very high production value for being a show on YouTube, which is always a plus when doing a cooking show.

The only thing memey about him is the dishes themselves. Everything else is pretty standard and fits well.

Plus he made tampopo ramen which makes him okay in my book

He's mediocre at best. His reddit-tier hipster meme bland production quality obscures the fact that he's worthless in the kitchen.

Babish's presentation is garbage, his recipes are uninspired, and Babish's persona is an unimaginative nu-male's dream of an actualized self. His work is a net loss on the world's quality of cooking (QoC). No fucking way I'm going to sit through his dumb videos and ads for his garbage content. Go fuck yourself OP.

Okay, then from now on you're never allowed to give advice to anybody ever again, because I'm sure there are some things you don't know about.
"Cooking" is a multi-faceted discipline. What's hard to understand about "some things he's very familiar with and knows a lot about and sometimes he tries to do something he doesn't have a lot of experience with"?
