I think it's fine to have expensive equipment, but you should always show an alternative/cheaper method first for your audience who nine times out of ten don't have said expensive equipment. You shouldn't flaunt about it too, just be humble and show that it's okay to use less pricey options, as long as it tastes good and you have fun then it's alright.
Exactly! I instantly nope the fuck out of videos where the host grabs an "emulsifier" to make mayo. Or a 500$ knife that he doesn't even know how to hold. It's overcomplicating stuff and it's pretentious. You can make hollandaise without even bain marie if you're competent. Your steak will be tender if you know your cuts and know temperature control. If you're making a cooking video, your objective should be actually teach the basilaris before handling fancy stuff.
Based Chef Jean-Pierre enjoyer. I love his videos. You’ll learn more in one of his videos that one hundred Babbish videos.
Tbf, unlike most fields you can cook well without being a professional chef (especially when doing those niche recipes). He could probably eke out a living for being a Z grade celebrity as long as he keeps his dick from crazy/children.
To be honest i've never looked into his certifications or work history, but regarding what you said, you're better of watching a chef that is a youtuber than a youtuber that is a "chef".
I disagree and/or agree on this! A lot of the newer instant ramen packets include a little plastic pouch of fat. And if you actually try and put in the effort, you can add vegetables and proteins to your instant ramen broth to compliment the inherent flavors for a very tiny price! Back when eggs were affordable, I would add a soft-boiled egg or two, and some blanched veggies. The only real downside is the insane amount of sodium that resulted in my heart pounding in my chest after eating the meal.
Food is going to vary anywhere the farther you get from the point of origin. Italian food in America is vastly different from food from the actual country even when it is made by authentic Italians. Like any non-Japanese food, Italian food in Japan usually is just their own spin on it. Some of it might be a cool take on it, others won't. You have to decide for yourself if you like it or not.
Most of their good dishes are foreign, like oden or tonkatsu or gyoza, and the authentic stuff tastes much better than the japanese copycats in my opinion
I think theres a really big italian fast food/family restaurant chain called Saizeriya, its pretty much an Italian Dennys
Of course, but it can always veer off to the point it's just gross on average unless you go to a place that brings authentic version of the kitchen. In the case of Italian food in Japan the argument is that they sweeten it way too much to the point it loses a lot of the flavour.
