Glen is cool, but there's only so many samey looking old fashioned cakes he can make before it feels a bit rote. He does seem to have an amazing life though. His alternative channel involves him rebuilding and flying his own airplane around.

CatstropheWaitress posted:It's not really a food tv show, but it remains a guilty pleasure. Hell's Kitchen is back! I just started up the first episode and holy poo poo that description of the American dream as "The American dream isn't 'come in and make friends and live a jolly life' it's to sacrifice and give it your all to achieve your dreams", as a response to people chatting a little in kitchen, in the context of a reality TV competition where you'll be screamed at by a millionaire and you compete under the pretense of a meritocracy and whatever person rises to the top of that is rewarded (in part) with the chance to work for a wage under the guy who has been screaming at you... It feels very accidentally on the nose because I don't think Fox is self aware enough for that.

They've had to start editing in the same "donkey poo poo" and other expletives since most are a half felt "come on" vs the raw emotion of it's rawwww *smash plate* in the early days.

That right there is why I always recommend butter chicken as a first exposure to Indian food for timid eaters. If your westernized palate can't adore murgh makhni, just accept that enjoying food isn't for you and turn your life to other pursuits. Just don't eat in the car fool.

My girlfriend and I have this thing where we have to pick a favorite for Great British Baking Show halfway through the first episode. I picked Dan and she picked Saku. I think I picked way wrong because Dan has this rage in his eyes that makes me really afraid. This dude keeps bodies in his basement.

He has an interesting rating scale because fettuccine Alfredo at Olive Garden will get a 9/10 but garlic naan from a mom and pop will get a 9.5 and called the best bread he’s eaten in his life and the butter chicken will get a 9.9 and in a moment of weakness called the best thing he’s ever eaten https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7285045147014876447 Edit: Lol the mom and pops in Bowling Green doing God’s work  https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7289534515804966186 Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 07:05 on Oct 16, 2023 |

i mean the dude just likes eating. and also theres a market for trying a bunch of food and just being completely positive about it. a bunch of this poo poo is totally cynical - you got tafferty and ramsey being the ones you watch for the 'rah this loving sucks a donkeys cock how dare you serve this' and then you turn around for like, i dont know, guy fieri or some of the youtube guys like what used to be 'worth it' and so on for when you want to watch 'oh this poo poo is off the hook i could eat this off a flip flop'.

That's how he got famous in the UK in the first place but people got tired of it real fast and he acted normally for most shows. Then when he came to the US he suddenly played up the rage again because we ate it up. Now he does reaction videos on Tik Tok.

From what I gather Ramsay learned you could get famous for being mean from Marco Pierre White. But while MPW was being his nasty old self, for Ramsay it seemed to be an act that he played up in pursuit of ratings

Kinda. I'm sure it's been recommended here before, but there's a great doc on him called Boiling Point. Up on youtube. Was recorded just before he was tv famous, and you get the sense he very much was a raging hard rear end, but it was because he was a small business owner on a mission and had no tolerance for anyone who could gently caress up his chance at a third michillan star. I don't think it started as an intentional act for camera's as much as once he kept being rewarded for it, it became something he leaned into.

https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7293597420120853803 This is Keith Lee, former boxer from Las Vegas who turned to Tiktok during the pandemic, started reviewing restaurants and is now maybe the single most influential restaurant critic in the US. I am not exaggerating when I say he’s filling in a hole left by Jonathan Gold and Anthony Bourdain, because he not only seeks out mom and pops, but there’s a human-interest aspect to his reviews: often there’s a sob story where they’re about to go out of business or the owner is struggling with medical bills or the former owner died and their kids are trying to keep it going. Keith promotes them if the food is good and they always end up being swarmed into success. Right now he’s in Atlanta. His followers from Atlanta complain about the entire restaurant industry there being terrible, nickel-and-diming everything and providing terrible customer service. They’ve been looking forward to him terrorizing the industry and hoping he can scare the city into shaping up. Apparently treating customers like cattle car and asking $1 for each condiment is common there? Edit: I just realized the first Michelin guide just dropped in Atlanta a few days ago lol Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Oct 28, 2023 |

Couple things here man. 1: a breakfast restaurant in the middle of downtown, across the street from the aquarium, is not representative of the dining culture of the city as a whole. 2: a guy filming himself eating takeout food in his car is not the next Anthony Bourdain, what the gently caress are you talking about?! "The single most influential restaurant critic"? I feel like I'm losing my mind!

Pretty much all the Momofuku restaurants shut down and there's barely any reaction whatsoever. 10-15 years ago everyone was hyping up David Chang so much including Anthony Bourdain. But I kind of get it when his restaurants used to have $80 tasting menus but now cost closer to $300. It's just weird that nobody cares.

Anthony Bourdain was never a restaurant critic; he definitely did not do the same thing that Jonathan Gold and I’m sure he’d be the first to say that. He was a food and travel writer, which is not the same as a critic. I would also say that Keith Lee is not a critic, he’s definitely much more on the Bourdain end than on the Jonathan Gold end, but to me he feels like a social media evolution of those Travel Channel/Food Network shows where the hosts bop around to restaurants across the country (or globe if you’re popular enough) like DDD or the stuff Andrew Zimmern did. Obviously being an independent presence rather than a corporate one he gets to be a little more critical about some aspects of food culture but what you’ve just described (focus on mom/pops, storytelling, often bringing a boost in business) is basically why Guy Fieri is now the face of Food Network, and there’s nothing wrong with that. In a world where corporate chains control an increasing amount of the food we eat, someone advocating for eating local is good, as is advocating for consumer friendly business practices.

I feel like Chang started chilling out a decade ago, hadn’t heard much about his outbursts in a while, maybe because he had a tv career at stake all of a sudden There’s a hilarious moment on… I think it was Mind of a Chef? Where they’re having a meal and Chang says something, Redzepi disagrees with him, and you see Chang cover his mouth because he wants to argue so bad and he’s flustered that he has to keep himself from not yelling in front of a camera

Really enjoyed the relatively cheap $14 tonkotsu lunch Monofoku did years ago. Not sure it's that surprising the restaurants are going out with a wimper (well, a BA-covered-wimper), as that was popular almost 15 years ago. The world of Monofoku, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Hamilton, etc. no longer exists. Hell's Kitchen continues to be the comfort trash tv it's always been. Really enjoying how ham-fisted the AMERICAN DREAM theme is this season. It's so, so unnatural and painful everytime someone brings it up.

I went to Ko ages ago and while it was very good, it was not worth the price and I haven't really ever recommended it to anyone who wasn't already dead set on it. The italian place he opened very very briefly was just not good, I can't even remember what it was called. Noodle bar still mostly holds up, but is always crowded, consistency slipped, and prices are crazy for ramen. Chang is just focused on selling overpriced soy sauce and chili crisp to go with their instant ramen packets while he does tv stuff.

It's not hard to find something that has the same flavor profile and quality.
