Yeah, Chef John is from Upstate New York (Buffalo maybe?).
He's a proper chef and his stuff is actually worth watching if you're into cooking (I got several recipes from his blog and they turned out to be pretty amazing.)
His commentary is pretty hit or miss, though.
This is a boss Chef John recipe. You may say to yourself "wow that's a lot of onions" but all that delicious caramelized onion goodness is tasty as fuck.

Jack would make this by throwing half raw onions in tomato juice with ground beef from walmart.
 
Most of that burger disaster seemed to be an assembly problem instead of anything wrong with preparation, which is kind of rare for Jack. Maybe that's because he had two other people helping him this time.
Gonna have to disagree on the prep if only because of how the patties were formed (my experience with those thick fucks are they tend to inflate due to the meat type and they tend to undercook unless you want the outside to burn), and due to the sheer fuckton of seasoning he threw into the meat mix; John might know what he was doing, but this is Jack's show, and he loves to just spray that shit on to the point you can't taste the original product's flavor.
 
Chicken and Waffles is really simple.

You take fried chicken... and you serve it next to a plate of waffles.

BOOM!

And it's not really southerner, it's more of a Jersey black folk thing.
 
Does any Southerners know if....surely the wafflle cone isn't really used as a breading in a standard recipe? The recipe seems really off, like a drunken frat bro decided to cook up something stupid.
No you just make a buttermilk fried chicken dredged in flour and serve on top some homemade waffles with maple syrup, that if you want to put time and effort in it. I use boneless thighs with skin on.

Lazy man's way would be frozen tenders and eggos.
 
Wow. That is not chicken and waffles; that's just a weird way to fry chicken, doused in shitty spices used for waffles. Seriously; you fry some chicken (or stew it if you're doing it the Pennsylvanian Dutch way), put it on a waffle, pour some butter, syrup or gravy (the latter mainly for the Amish version, but white gravy works for the soul food version) and wallah, that's it.

Jack cocked up something so simple it hurts.

EDIT: Also look at the chicken when he eats it. It's fucking pink still.
 
I'm not exactly a top chef and so I could be wrong, but are you supposed to marinade meats in batter? I thought the whole point of marinading was to strengthen the flavour because you soak it in a sauce.

Sorry for possible :autism:

Not in the batter, but you do "marinade" chicken in buttermilk and spices for buttermilk chicken. The batter comes right before frying it, though.

Yoghurt's actually a pretty decent marinade that you can use for a lot of meats just fine. Honestly his fried chicken isn't too egregious outside of being fucking uncooked. He picked weird breading and seasoning choices, and he overdid the nutmeg by a lot but honestly the concept is sound. What he fucked up was the dish, since it wasn't chicken and waffles. He lied egregiously right down to the thumbnail.

In short, do the chicken better by letting it get cooked, put it on a waffle, pour some butter on it, and it'll probably be good.
 
oh look, jack served undercooked chicken. surprise

it's almost like he's just doing it to troll everyone at this point. i mean how fucking hard is it to properly cook chicken so that it's not raw?
 
Not sure if anyone's posted this or not, but this "bean salad" literally makes dog food look appetizing in comparison:


Hell I wasn't aware that canned pork n' beans mixed with half a jar of mayo and vinegar even qualifies as a "salad" to begin with; sounds more like prison food to me.

That looks legit disgusting. A bean salad is easily made, healthily, with a selection of beans that aren't cooked in sugary tomato sauce. He always takes the most processed foods to use, without fail.


* Just watched the whole thing with my flatmate, fuck me, utterly disgusting, cold macaroni with tomato and what is his obsession with mayonnaise? These aren't salads, they're ways to induce diabetes.

Not to mention his ridiculous love of mayo
There's a dumb meme on 4chan's food & cooking board, /ck/, that goes along the lines of: 'Do Americans really eat this?'. Jack exemplifies all the bad food those posters show, baked beans and mayo, Jesus, congealed processed fat in a McMansion.
 
I'm always bothered that Jack seems to have a nice kitchen and for the most part... has a lot of really nice equipment. He likes to review shit and companies send him shit to review.

And this isn't about him being a lazy cook that ain't no good. It's more of: Why go through the time and effort and everything else... when 90% of the time... if he's not filming... he's not cooking.

Like, he literally only cooks for his show. He has 1000s of dollars worth of stuff that should, by all means, make cooking easier, but no. Lazy man must be lazy.

Fucker has a decent counter top pressure cooker. You can cook nice meals in those in 30 minutes. I know. I've done it, and yet he'd rather have microwaved meals or eat out or some bullshit. I just don't get it.

It shows, too.

Actually, he cooks like someone who hasn't even cooked as much as he's actually been seen cooking on video alone, because he never learns fucking anything from his mistakes. He's still serving raw chicken dripping bright red blood.
