Yea Vinny is the cameraman and editor. The snake in the spice grinder during the mustard episode (I think?) was an all time great.
No, he's not the editor and he never has been.

Not liking the egg yolks in boiled eggs is A Thing for younger Indian kids. Especially because we don’t get them with like mayo and such, like with devilled eggs or egg salad. And also, they will be cooked to death. I didn’t care for the yolk until high school when I discovered devilled.
I see tons of college students here in India leaving their egg yolks untouched. Arrested development perhaps.

Since carbonara is, most likely, a bastardised version of eggs and bacon picked up from GI:s after WWII, shouldn't traditional carbonara be made with spam, powdered eggs and american cheese?
Carbonara should be made out of whatever list of ingredients allows you to berate the carbonara recipe you are currently berating because you're an rear end in a top hat. So for instance carbonara should not be made with smoked ham hock, even if an expert cook thinks it will work and puts it in and claims the results taste delicious.

Nadiya's Time to Eat, a BBC television show also on Netflix, is tremendously wholesome. She's adorable. I don't really give a poo poo about any of the food but she also does some non-recipe stuff like visit a mushroom farm or the Marmite factory and those segments are great too.

It's kind of fun watching one of the few Indian cooking channels with usually good production channels reduced (via COVID) to approximating a lot of the other Indian channels:

Priyah is really the weakest part of all these videos. I'm sure I'm being less than understanding but the weir relationship she has with her parents is off-putting. Before the quarantine almost all of her videos featured her calling her parents for advice, now her dad's in every video. Guess what guys her dad makes yogurt!
Liking your parents is not a weird relationship.

I found her super annoying even before this, and now with her parents being on camera every time she appears in something its even more annoying.

I think Babish seems like a nice guy who is very excellent at making videos, and not very good at being in videos or cooking. His channel exploded in popularity because he was barely in any of the videos except as hands and a disembodied voice saying stuff you could basically ignore and cooking food that wasn't supposed to taste good.

I've never even been slightly tempted to click on the videos where apparently he goes around making people happy because he's drunk on his own popularity and like others I hope he stays out of Sohla's videos as much as possible. He needs to internalize the fact that what made him famous was gorgeous videos where we never even saw his face and which made no pretense about his having any skill at all. He's not a personality I can't get enough of. He's an intrusion I can't get away from fast enough.

Love his videography and editing sensibility and I wish he'd just lean into that and be a behind the camera guy instead of going even harder on the whole cult of personality bullshit by naming the channel the "Babish Cinematic Universe." It's like if Bon Apetit's videos were all framed as "Rapaport's Minions" and Rapaport introduced every video with an awkward conversation with the host in which he gave them their assignment. Nobody wants that poo poo.

Sohla's paratha rolling technique in the latest video (after adding the fat and rolling it, coil it from both ends rather than just one, and stack the two coils on top of each other by twisting) blew my mind. That's such a good idea and it never occurred to me.

I think I've linked it here before but this is one of my favorite cooking channels (especially if you speak Spanish, although you don't really need to). Sometimes the videos are kind of long but they're always badass:

Queer Salutations posted:

A ton of his recipes he just credits to America's Test Kitchen or Kenji, especially early on.
There's basically no such thing as "his" recipes when it comes to normal food. I'm not sure he's ever made up anything himself. For most of the early videos you can tell he's using one of the top Google results (or combining the top few) and for a lot of the later videos he'll explicitly mention whose recipe he's using. There's nothing wrong with this - I love his videos! - but people who are like "Babish knows how to cook, I use his recipes all the time" are sort of missing the point. They're not his recipes. The weird stuff he makes up himself (and that's fine) and for the real stuff he films himself cooking other people's recipes in an attractive manner.

It's a restaurant, not a jam company, so they aren't selling any jars of it, just dollops in toast with ricotta. But yeah I don't think people were thrilled to learn that they were eating something that was maybe an inch or two away from mold.

Babish seems like a nice guy and he's amazing at making videos but he is not a great cook. You'll get much more out of Googling the same keywords he does and following the same recipes he does. At least he eventually started shouting out the recipes he had clearly Googled.

Weissman is great except I hate the voice he does and the personality he affects. If he would just be normal his videos would be great.

Never seen any Ragusea or Cheblowski videos. I see Ragusea has a video titled "Deep Frying at Home is a BAD IDEA" which is either clickbait or sacrilege.

I like Kenji, although the chewing sounds do get me a bit, and I agree that he's very unsystematic about when to be systematic and when to just repeat stuff everyone has said without testing it, or with testing it a tiny bit incredibly unscientifically in a way that fails to establish anything like the conclusion he draws and then repeats like it's been definitely proven.

I feel like a lot of YouTubers are one "the paycheck is how much????" away from pivoting to being alt right and Babish wouldn't surprise me if one day he did that, although to be fair I haven't watched his videos in a long time so I might just be slandering a wonderful guy whose only sin is loving money enough to support JK Rowling but no more than that, which to be fair is still kind of bad considering he's already got it made.
