For the same reason Jack thinks the only good thing about Christmas is presents for Jack. Literally everything he professes to have a strong and noble belief in is pure lip service, the only thing he has ever cared about his entire life is what's easiest and cheapest for King Retard of Fatland.
Fat faggot doesn't wanna cook and most carnie recipes are the same shit or require too much effort. So "being a disliked child trying to sooth ache and invoke jealousy by toys" is his go to.
One thing I wonder is how much Jack actually LIKES cooking. We know he likes eating, and he likes the feeling of being a "celebrity" with a fanbase etc. But I wonder if he still likes/loves the actual cooking itself (the joy of creation, the fun of trying new things, the satisfaction of serving your friends and family etc) but is just so lazy/disabled/beaten up by life that this is what's left; or if he started out legitimately loving it but kind of lost interest along the way but he had some success early on and he doesn't know how to do anything else so he just kept riding that horse; or if he never really was that passionate and he's wasted most of his life on this nonsense.
If he ever liked cooking, he would have made some effort to improve his techniques. He never even bothered to master the fundamentals like basic seasoning — shit that most people figure out through basic common sense (e.g. season both sides of meat).
That's exactly my thought too. Like...even if someone has NO natural talent for something...if they really love it...they'll at least get to some higher level than where they started. Yeah not everybody can be a real chef (or whatever) but there's NO way he should still be THIS bad and that makes me wonder how much of that is laziness, how much stupidity, and how much that he truly, in his heart, doesn't really enjoy it so can't be bothered.
It's actually funny, since he tried more and was more willing to experiment in the California period. He did all sorts of different recipes. He tried making random foods from around the world. Hell, he even did a couple of vegan/vegetarian dishes.
I love these references you guys make that get me excited for everything I’ve yet to uncover in my Jack rabbit hole. I’m laughing just thinking about what this could look like.
It's hardly an exaggeration, there's a video somewhere of him on West Texas Investors Club
He only seems to enjoy cooking as a reason to consume more food. Even before a stroke took his arm, he never actually tried improving. Would burn shit constantly because he insists on trying to cook everything as quicky as possible on high heat, leaving things raw in the center. Seems to take no pride in not even mistakes, but just obvious fuck ups that shouldn't even be on camera(like the exploding press machine thing). He has re-done things once or twice, and on occasion actually admitted something was shit(the yorkshire pudding comes to mind) but that's such a rarity considering the mounds of content he produces and fails at regularly. So much of the crap he was making even a few years ago was "a double batch" for a recipe that could normally feed 4-8 people as it was already. At least at this point with the unnecessary amounts of food on the grill that he's cooking for 4 at the most, really it's just Tammy cooking things as a batch so she can cut up his chuck roast and put it in the fridge for snacks later.
They're the corn pieces in the shit "content" Jack "produces"
Have you seen the condition of his old grills? This will only last a couple years.
I guess that's one way to put it. I've said as much before, but Kay's Cooking is a far better channel than Fatty's. She seems to actually like cooking, tries new things, admits her mistakes, re-tries recipes with some new knowledge. Sure, basically everything is outside of her wheelhouse other than maybe boiling water but she's also aware of this and isn't trying to gaslight an audience into think she's some amazing chef. And she keeps the bulk of her personal life and politics outside of it too.
This new grill isn't going to last 6 months before it's sludged up, the burners stop working as well due to gunk falling into them, and he basically abandons it for the next 1-2 grills he'll have bought in the meantime.
Another grill for the graveyard? Does he also expect us to believe he won’t be eating all the hotdogs?
Kay is a terrible cook. She's absolutely awful. But I can say one thing about her. She's genuine. She seems to be a nice person who's a bad cook but her heart is in the right place and her partner / son / whoever eats her cooking and it okay with it so she's heads and tails over Fatty and his attempt to larp as a youtube chef.
The chefs kiss here is that Tammy has to assemble these things for Jack.
