is chef john really that good?

yes

no

fuck you

CHEF JOHN FROM FOOOOOOOOODWISHES.COM

>>8702675
I like his videos because the recipes are pretty simple. And he has a soothing voice.

cooks way too much unhealthy shit but his recipes are always solid at least

>>8702675
he got me through not drinking when I had untreated ulcerative colitis by watching like 3 of his vids every night to get me to sleep (not a joke)

his cadence is fucking irritating.

>>8702713
Soothing voice but the way he talks kinda pisses me off and he adds weird inflections with his words.

He'll start with a few words...

then he'll take a small pause....

and suddenly, he'll make a joke...

which won't be bad....

but then he'll pause again.....

and then it starts all over...

again and I hate it.....

A prime example.....

would be this video....

>>8702751

Goddamn it, yes this is exactly what I was talking about here: >>8702757

>>8702675
He's a great chef, and knows his food science, but never plays it up. Incredibly humble; so much so that when he fucks up, he shows you and explains how and why. He's also a great showman and teacher. His recipes are explained in a way that anyone can learn and do them. And he's got a great sense of humor to top it all off. He's playful and sarcastic in a way that I think you don't catch right away if yer not familiar with him.

>>8702675
I like how everything is a close up of the actual food so you can clearly see what's going on. I like the narration too. His style has wide appeal I guess

>>8702781
This is key here. The food and cooking techniques are given complete and total focus, while Chef John just sorta diffuses into the background, or the errant mixing bowl reflection, as an authoritative ethereal voice like watching a David Attenborough documentary.

At first his voice irritated me, but I started to enjoy it after a while, and he's never steered me wrong.

My dad has the same halting way of speaking that he does, so it doesn't bother me. But is is easily an order of magnitude better than any other youtube chef

>>8702895
Why does it happen?

he's pretty great, and once you get used to his way of speaking it's actually pretty soothing

this thread made me look his videos up. I watched a video where he makes a peanut curry and he says to use ketchup in it?

like I don't think that's right but I've never made curry before

>>8704095
I looked up which one that was and apparently he was going off another restaurant's recipe, in his other curries he always does tomato paste.

>>8702732
well the premise of his show is food wishes the viewers have - i don't think very many people are wishing for a good kale salad recipe

i've heard a lot of complaints about the way he talks but it's pretty fitting to his personality. i've only tried maybe five or six of his recipes so far but they've all been really solid.

>>8704114
ah okay

I guess it makes sense the way he put it, with the tomato and acid and sugar in it

just seemed weird to me. I'm actually looking forward to making that when Im not fucking broke

>>8702737
get well soon!

>>8702675
Dude has solid recipes.

He's legit.

>>8702737
Are you still not drinking?

>>8702675
He's Jack-tier. So no, he's garbage.

I credit my cooking skills to chef john.

I have been watching hes videos for years. I rarely copy any of his recipies, but I take notes of all of the techniques.

>>8704443
Idiot

>>8704453
why are you angry...

people are allowed to have different opinions....

now we'll throw in the ginger...

I've learned more from Food Wishes than I ever did from Good Eats

I pretty much never actually do his recipes as he does them but I've picked up a ton of techniques

Mother fucker pisses me off he does the main thing before the bread or or roll for the shit and then makes you wait a week

>>8704461
I agree.....


Opinions are necessary....

for society to thrive....

but your opinion...

is absolutely shit....

>>8704461
You are comparing a professional chef to some fat slob who can't cook for shit. So no, you are not allowed to have this opinion, because it has no basis on reality.

Why don't you give us someone you like so we all can laugh at point at you for how shitty the person you like is?

>>8704649
ellipses much?

Chef John is so good and if anyone disagrees with me they should kill thy selve's.

I wish he made more videos than he does, I personally look forward to his new uploads every week.

>>8704656
It's almost like....

You didn't get the joke...

But that's okay....

because you're...

autistic and don't understand....

>>8704665
at least I don't type like a faggot

I think one of Chef John's secret of success is that he genuinely enjoys teaching people how to cook. His account is not about feeding his ego or getting dem dollarydoos.

>>8703885
In my dads case he had a stutter when a child and it developed after speech therapy

>>8702675
I like him but that good damn rising inflection pisses me off so much

California was a mistake

>>8702706
WIIIIIITH...

>>8702675
is that what he really looks like?

>>8705244
Chef John is actually from Western New York

chef john is fucking savage

>>8705259
damn chef John is a big guy

>>8704396
thank you :)

>>8704433
nah I started drinking again but only on the weekends so it sorta gives me something to look forward to instead of just drinking every single day

>>8705271
yes

>>8702675
Wouldn't say he is amazing but he has a very nice style of a 'cooking show'
A nice clear voice, good instructions generally and fairly amusing without being obnoxious

The recipes are mostly decent

CAYENNE PEPPER SQUAD UP IN THIS BIEAAAATCH

>>8702757

wow can't read this w/o his voice in my head

>>8705259
wtf I love chef John now

Whats the worst recipe Chef John has ever done that he didn't himself admit was bad?

>>8706569
that layered salad in a jar thing was pretty gay

>>8702675
He uses less salt and sugar than fast food franchises though.

His food isn't unhealthy as long as he exercises.

>>8706569
eggplant bacon

>>8706569
Has to be the instant mashed potato video. He just followed the directions from the package. That's probably what the company told him to do. Also his angry comments. That's the only one I've seen. His voice, bad jokes and the way he drones on makes this video unwatchable and it was under 5 minutes. If I pay him $100 do you think he'll let me throw a pie at his face while on camera?

>>8706718
link? sounds hilarious

>>8702675
Yeah he's got some pretty dope recipes and he presents them in a really nice way in my opinion.

The way he speaks can be a bit annoying at times but if you're purely in for the recipes, yeah he's bretty good.

Chef John is a cool guy. In every video the focus is entirely on the ingredients and preparation. We should all hope he maintains this quality and doesn't whore himself out or go full e-celeb

Chef John is only good at classic Americana dishes or Eye-talian dishes. His ethnic dishes are shit.

>>8706569
Sports drink which he proceeded to add cheyenne.

>>8706755
wheres your youtube channel with 2 million subscribers so you can show us how to do it better?

oh you dont have one?

oh you dont have any friends?

oh youre an autistic shitposting on 4chan?

ok

good cook but can't deal with the upwards inflection at the end of everything he says

>>8706771
Do you know what an opinion is, you dumb fucker? When you criticize movies, do you go around trying to make a better one?

>>8706757
I tried it and it was actually really good.
Cayenne has a really subtle flavor when used in small amounts.

>>8702675
no hes a sellout like all the other youtube chefs

>>8702675
For me it's not that he's a great chef (though I do like his recipes) but rather the fact that he isn't a twat about cooking.

Nearly every YouTube "chef" is either a housewife in her kitchen being filmed on a camcorder, Tasty-style "pour melted cheese over it until you run out of cheese!" artery clogging shit, or "man cooking" barbeque shit starring some redneck behind his ramshackle house.

Chef John admits when parts of a recipe don't work, admits his fuckups, and engages the viewer without being a douche.

Also I sexually roleplay as Chef John with my wife.

>>8706771
>you aren't allowed to criticize something unless you're an expert on the topic

What's it like being 13? I don't need to be a professional chef to say dog shit tastes bad.

>>8709250
"After all, you ARE the master of your blaster."

I could go all day but I have not the energy.
Go in my stead, friends. Chef john sex rp time.

>>8709257
Hi, this is Chef John from FOOD wishes DOT come wiiiiiitttthhh

Fucking that wet snatch until you bust! That's right!

Now, I like to start off with some light fingering...

But if you don't, that's okay!

Just make sure that pussy is good and wet...

And everything will work out!

I like Chef John's voice. Plus, I've learned a lot from him. He's pretty GOAT.

>>8702675

>>8709276
You can't be "pretty GOAT". You're either GOAT or you aren't.

>>8704667
The joke
Your head.

>>8709276

He is fully GOAT.

>>8711344
how is my head a joke especially since you haven't even seen it dumbass

>>8710558
He was right though if you look at his analytics the video didn't impact his subscriber base at all.

>>8710558
>>8711485
maybe, but doesn't change the fact he sperged out like a bitch

>>8710558
>Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to light this cigar with a hundred dollar bill to celebrate.
Holy shit BTFO. Does becoming a pro chef inoculate you against shitposts?

>>8711491
Yep, yep. But of course subscriber base isn't the issue for all these youtubers. Ad rev is paying less and less every year. It'll be over soon for folks that don't have legions of legions of subs like pewdiepie and the like

His cadence and inflection irritate me a little, but other than that he seems like a genuinely nice, chill kind of guy.

>>8702675
i've made a lot of his recepies, they're mostly pretty simple and tasty. overall a 9/10 site

Not gonna lie, after I saw this video I bought that brand of instant potatoes at the grocery store. They actually are the best instant potatoes you can get, taste almost like fresh. I have like 6 packets in my pantry right now for lazy days where I need a quick side.

>>8711491
I hardly call that "sperging out". He was pretty calm about it actually and he has every right to defend his channel and the choices he makes for it. Jesus christ kill yourself.

>>8711925
he made a lot more comments than that one, that was one of like fifty

>>8709274
My sides.

>>8704095
ive seen lots of curry recipes that ask for ketchup

weird at first but actually normal

>>8704095
>>8704114

Ketchup can be a decent substitute for tomato paste if you cook it down, or just straight if you would need to add some manner of sweetener later.

>>8702675
helloo this iiis cheeeef joooooooooooohn from fooooooooodwishesdotcoooooooom

>>8713612

Makes sense. Ketchup is basically tomato + vinegar, and both of those are common curry ingredients.

>>8711810
He's got an onion ring recipe where his "secret ingredient" in the batter is instant mashed potatoes.

I tried it and it really works. Crunchiest breading I've ever had, but a wide margin.

>>8706521
started using that shit in literally everything i make because of glorious Chef John
