yeah it's good for him, but who cares? i don't know him personally, and i'm not interested in his happiness. i'm interested in what he can offer me, and that was food lab (the serious eats articles online, not the book). lol

i don't expect him to do the same thing his entire life. i'm just saying that this was by far my favorite of his contributions.

I suspect that he knows exactly what makes him successful. His channel has 1.3 million subscribers.

Yeah and this type of video is pretty popular on YouTube actually. It's definitely lower quality content but sometimes you just want to put on some mindless stuff and turn off.

Yeah iirc he started doing those videos during the pandemic, and sometimes they were nice just to watch a little mindless quiet cooking before bed.

IDK if the comments was deleted but I actually liked "The Wok" more than his first book. His first book just seemed like what was already on Seriouseats.
I can agree his personality can be grating. Also I feel like the nature of his content leads amateur cooks to think they know more than they do (similar to Rippetoe for lifting weights). Just because some myth chefs believed was debunked doesn't mean you know better than them overall (he does seem to be aware of this and has toned down his rhetoric)

It's also sad how far Weissman has fell. His early videos were pretty good and now it's just bad comedy

Not a bad video, but does Gordon know his knife is chipped to hell?

Oh lord... they could use her as a negative teaching example for kitchen hygiene classes....

How is she not dead from either food poisoning or accidental self-dismemberment?

10 / 10 Technique

What makes it truly special is having "10 out of 10 technique" repeating in your head as you watch each cringe-inducing phase. From the handling to the butchery to the knife care to the coating, just all of it. "10 out of 10 technique" applies.

Lol EVERYTHING to do with GR and knives is cringeworthy to watch.

 

[blokey]

When you fail to pronounce the product you are trying to sell.

 

[miggus]

No offense, but this one is a bit of an accident lol.



I wonder how long this knife will stay this sharp.

20 bucks for it seems a very decent price though. Like 1/4 of the milk street

190mm, 246g “not a heavy knife”

 

[BillHanna]

Clef.

 

[M1k3]

Clef.

Wy?

190mm, 246g “not a heavy knife”

Hmmm... yeah, good point. I'd assume that much of it is due to the handle. And that it's not super heavy after all. Geometry seems promising to me for a 20 USD knife.

Maybe a "Western Kiwi"?

 

[blokey]

Honestly $20 is not bad for a 1.4116 knife with thin blade, assume the HT is alright.

speaking of that watch this for a good time:

At 46 seconds they show a knife cutting a thin slice of some veg - it's not the Huusk as it's Damascus. Same thing with a tomato at 47/48 seconds.

Yup, here it is.

I think this is because "the competition tried to have this knife banned from the marked because it is too sharp". They probably were in the righteous struggle back then, and couldn't show a real Huusk "japanese" "chef's" knife.

Half of the knives they show are not huusk

You think while eating breakfast I'm paying that much attention? I just managed to catch the instance I saw.

 

[chiffonodd]

The competitors tried to ban it from the market because they considered its blade too sharp!

 

[blokey]

The whole channel is huge cringe

Get in the room quick, new Milk Street ad just dropped!
