Tasting History With Max Miller.

Everything annoying about a gay theater kid, in the package of a political redditor who blindly supports Ukraine.

It's like, we get it. You're a something theater kid. Can you please tone it down?

He also often has no idea what the recipe is, and makes things up.

For example, he saw Egyptian Hiroglyphs of a king's servant rubbing something all over a duck. From this image alone, he decided he could make it. There was no recipe, just a duck being rubbed. From what I remember, he just decided to find different herbs and spices that are used in Egypt, olive oil as well, since Egyptians use olive oil.

I know I sound like a sperg complaining about historical accuracy, but it's literally the whole point of his channel.

Does he? I never saw any of his sperging, must have missed those videos. I'll watch him occasionally.

I honestly don't know enough about Ukraine/Russia to even comment on the situation so I would probably just ignore it if I heard someone talking about it. I didn't know he had a second channel either

He has a second channel? What is it? I remember he did bring up him being Gay when he announced his (Gay) marriage to his husband. But outside of that he has been pretty tight lipped except for the odd time he will mention it off hand (like: oh [husband's name] had to help me with this recipe so it is a two person job). Oh another good Youtuber who is gay is the "Pressure Luck Cooking" channel. He's a gay Jew from NY but besides a fag flag in the background and occasional mentions of his boyfriend he's not terrible. Now that I think about it, why are so many Youtube chiefs gay :thinking:


Edit: found his 2nd channel it is called "Ketchup with Max and Jose" Honestly, if he keeps his personal life/gay stuff their then I have no issue with it. His main channel has nearly 3 million subscribers his second channel has 70 thousand. And he does not promote it on his main channel at all. Although his husband does do his subtitles and he does link his Instagram in the video description (I did look through his Instagram and it doesn't show anything weird or wrong, just him, max, their cats, their friends, ALOT of disney/gardening stuff but nothing that screams "degen"- Max and his husband really do promote the "we are normal but just gay" thing that the LGBTQIP use to promote a few decades ago). btw max is 41.... let that sink in....

In one of his videos, I think he mentioned he went there during the war. He told a story about eating pickled mushrooms that made it sound like he was present there.

He doesn't sperg about politics in his videos, but I do get a vibe. And when he talked about Ukraine, I couldn't help but fill in everything else.

If you're asking whether he makes up his own recipe when he doesn't have one, that's more common. I get why he does it, but still.

The name of the channel is "Max and the name of the guy he's with," but I can't remember what it is exactly.

Why so many youtube chefs are gay may be due to gay people mostly having a life mission to subvert society, and the first step to subverting a group is often through food. I can provide a lot of autistic examples of this but I don't want to come off as completely insane.

I can't speak for historical accuracy, but I like Tasting History for just presenting the recipes and the history behind them, again can't speak for accuracy but at least he tries to follow the recipes as they are written.

I guess it's not fair or accurate to say I hate him. I'm more "tormented by annoyances."

I think the idea is really interesting. I wish I could go back to ancient times just for a day to see what was being eaten and how it was prepared.
 
Max the Meat Guy is an uptight faggot who declares himself an authority on meat when he can barely cook a basic steak. The second and final video I watched from him was him "proving" that medium rare steak was better than any other temperature. He did this by cooking the shittiest, bloodiest medium rare I've ever seen, then boiling a steak to well done and dumping all the juice and flavor down the drain DSP style. Some of the juiciest and best tasting cuts I've ever had were well done T-bones, and seeing him butcher what should be retard proof processes so badly showed me how much of a hack he is. I never thought a cooking video would piss me off, but ever since seeing that display I've been obsessed with decapitating him.

Adam Ragusea, I used to watch a handful of his videos that went over more practical home cooking ideas but over time his channel devolved into the same old fart-huffing liberal faggotry, all this while he lived in the south for the economic benefits really irked me.

I used to watch Ragusa, even made some of his bread recipes. When he made a video on tortillas, he had an entire segment about how flour tortillas were cultural appropriation and stem from colonialism and basically implied liking them are bad and you should feel bad. Dropped him like a hot potato after that.

That's alright, but the only way to get that is to have a time machine.

This just makes you sound like a retarded zigger. You immediately assume that anyone who supports Ukraine is NAFO, reddit or leftist.
Yeah I know he's a fag.

Anyways, babish is pretty slow with his instructions and it gets really annoying to watch.
 
Used to like Babish's older content, before he became the 'Babish Culinary Universe' (cringe as fuck). What gave him his charm was the fact that it was just him, a guy who likes cooking, making cool recipes from different media; he didn't need to be anything more than that, he was charming enough and it's all the channel needed.

Now he's expanded and I just give 0 fucks about it anymore. I don't care who Alvin is or any of the collabs he does, I don't care about the stupid ranking videos, the 'botched with Babish' was kind of funny as a one-off but I really don't give a shit about it being a semi-consistent thing. One thing I do like, though, is his Basics with Babish set of videos, or at least his older ones; they're a nice introduction to cooking standalone, non-themed meals, and better understanding cooking as a whole. His more personal 'Being with Babish' videos would be fine on a second channel but really don't belong on the main channel.

He's become a sellout and it really sucks. Puts a bad taste in my mouth watching him, ironically enough
 
I was getting heaps of shorts from "Senpai Kai" or something like that for a while. I hated that fucker with a passion before a blocked recommendations from him. Anyone who "reverse sears" a steak is, in my opinion, a fucking loser. Just put the meat in a hot pan you dork.

I only listen to him as background noise, but I have NEVER heard him mention politics in any context in his videos (unlike that faggot on YouTube that does the "TODAY I'm MAKING food from COUNTRIES..." shtick). That, to me, makes his private views completely irrelevant.


Edit: This dude sounds like a normal gay man from before Clown World. I had no clue he was gay until I read your alls discussion and I was like "oh yeah that makes total sense."

He did sperg out against the Pilgrims on one episode I watched, and that was the one that made me quit watching him.

As for the title of the thread, 90% of them I hate due to them wanting to be more celebrity than actual cooking. To recommend one, Vivaldi has the charisma most of them crave, without the air of pretentiousness they present.

I can't stand binging with babish. His buzzfeed tier recreation videos are dated and incredibly boring, not to mention usually involving ingredients or equipment the average person cannot afford. The novelty wore off by 2020 and now most recreations are relegated to some other other guy while babish reviews fifty different brands of potato chips to whose amusement.

If it makes you feel any better, he was anally raped.

I also can't stand this faggot. The algorithm was pushing him hard to me too. Honestly, I got the occasional useful tip out of his videos, but that weird smugness and obnoxious style of narration is unbearable. Reminds me a bit of Joshua Weissman or something. I was also getting lots of shorts from "Big Nibbles" who gives off smug fag vibes in the same vein, except that dude's food often looked like shit to top it all off - at least the others can cook.

I fucking hate Uncle Roger and his consequences too. Dude is neither funny nor knowledgeable and now any time somebody posts a video that's even tangentially related to cooking Asian food you get hordes of NPCs rushing to the comments to make the same unfunny ass Uncle Roger jokes. Fuck, I hate youtube.
 
I fucking hate Adam Ragusea and his carpetbagger ass. I think this 4chan post summarizes him perfectly.
Adam Ragusea is the embodiment of slave morality. You can tell that behind his cringey little "you do you!" shit and starting his plebbit comments with "friend, ...", there's real contempt hiding. He speaks this way because he's terrified of confrontation and has no idea how to handle disagreement. It's quite evident that he genuinely thinks he's the shit, but he's just too much of a coward and a mental weakling to face any critique head-on and honourably. That's why he hedges with these weasely little phrases, why he pre-empts all possible criticism with a pre-written and pinned FAQ, and why he saw the need to make that bizarre and incoherent video on why he refuses to use metric conversions.

So it doesn't surprise me that he's prone to the occasional outburst of impotent anger in his comments section from time to time -- he clearly has an ego and a measure of masculine rage, but has never learnt what to do with them, and has spent his life being afraid of any kind of self-affirmation. Why, for example, did he overreact with such vitriol to this relatively benign comment about ceramic stoves? Why does he get so upset over a very gentle quip about the narration? Because that's the kind of language in which Adam would himself codify his criticism. He interprets the slightest of gibes as full-frontal attacks because that's the way he'd make a criticism. Simple, honest and straightforward language is not for him; he lacks the courage to be direct.

As other anons have said, all of this has probably been reinforced/cemented by his having been a professor, where he's been able to go mostly unchallenged in his little fiefdom for years. Now he's suddenly exposed to the internet, where everyone is way harsher, and more importantly, don't need to please him to pass a class. I guess he's struggling to adapt a bit.

One thing I want to add, his wife has not taken on his last name and writes romance novels with covers such as this:
