Cooking YouTubers you hate - You know the ones

[Xarpho's Return]

This board has some good YouTube cooking shows and some unintentional terrible ones (Kay's Cooking), with other stuff like Jack Scalfani in the main lolcow board as he's just as much a terrible person as his food would suggest.

But there are the ones you can't stand but the algorithm will put it in your face anyway. I think I've finally vanquished them but the four that come to mind are the following:

- The black-gloved Asian guy who makes disgusting ASMR food videos
- AlbertCanCook, same kind of thing. I saw a video from /ck/ where both of them teamed up and it was the worst thing I ever saw
- Guga, no further explanation needed
- Nick DiGiovanni, his abuse of knives makes me cringe and he's a major sufferer of MrBeast syndrome

Honorable mention to Uncle Roger though I don't think he actually cooks.

Joshua Weissman, he is the epitome of up their own ass cooking content. And his dumb ass cutesy vocab during his demos are just enraging. Never met the guy in my life but I already know he'd be insufferable. I will admit hes a good cook but there are a lot of good cooks on YouTube.
Edit: I get why people don't like guga, not my favorite either, but I put him in the same category as Epic Meal Time where he takes things to the extreme and it was never for normal cooking in the first place.

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.

Any of the ones that slam, toss, and slap food around.

Joshua is on a level of obnoxious that feels unmatched, especially with his "can I make these fast food items but BETTER????" where he blatantly uses expensive ingredients that the common person likely can't afford.

Sorry, I'm gonna sperg just a little bit, but I follow Fallow, a channel run by a Michelin star chef in his Michelin star restaurant, and he can give very concise instructions on the food they produce in his restaurant, without sounding like a fucking asshole, and yet Joshua Weissman cannot do the same.

 

[Runescape Sperg]

Nick DiGiovanni easily. Something about that dude just really irks me

 

[KMFDM Sucks]

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.

Bro sperged the fuck out after someone commented that using electric stoves for cooking makes no difference compared to convection cooking, or some shit. Wish I had the cap on hand, but I know I posted about it somewhere on the forum.

Joshua is on a level of obnoxious that feels unmatched, especially with his "can I make these fast food items but BETTER????" where he blatantly uses expensive ingredients that the common person likely can't afford.

He also tends to refer to himself as "Daddy Weissman/Joshua" in addition to the cutesy style of speaking that he tends to sprinkle in his videos, as mentioned above. I get that he's trying to appeal to a younger audience's sense of humor, but it just comes off as incredibly irritating. I also dislike how he has "X videos but cheaper", because he doesn't mention the fact that he means that it's cheaper in the long run (per serving). Additionally, they tend to have a considerably larger upfront time/money cost, or use specialized equipment.

I use his old videos sometimes. Very valuable stuff (particularly enjoy the Thanksgiving turkey and the Spanish omelet vids) but as soon as I knew he was a journalism professor I knew he was a giga faggot.

I think the big shift in his content is because he had a mental breakdown from stress/divorce, and then he got raped in a mental health facility in NYC (no joke).


I hate Uncle Rodger that fake asian accent pisses me off.

 

[Cats]

I can't say I really "hate" any of them because I just don't watch any of the creators that don't appeal to me so I can't pick one that I even know enough about to dislike, but I can say that I am really sick of retarded ass thumbnails. You know the kind. That's across the board though and not just cooking shows. As far as straight up cooking shows, I don't watch many of those but I do like Max Miller, he mixes history with his cooking and his videos are pleasant to watch. I know he is gay, I don't care. he doesn't try and proselytize about his sexuality or talk about identity politics so I can just enjoy the videos for what they are.

I think he's Filipino or something, but because Filipino people look kind-of Asian he can get away with the "ME SO SOLLY, ME LIKE-A DA FLIED LICE" accent that would get any white person burned alive.

I would be more interested in learning how to cook Filipino food than hearing him go "WASH DA RICEEEEEEE YOUR ANCESTORS SO ANGRY"

No amerilard jew can talk without sounding like a fucking asshole

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 40-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.

B Dillian Hollis (Baking Yesteryear), despite being very flamboyant, is also great because he just focuses on the baking. Also the few jokes he does make are enough to make me chuckle. I did make a thread a while ago promoting cooking YouTubers.

What do you expect from a Queer who worked at Disney?

He's Malaysian; he mentioned it on a Q&A video. The styling in those videos is incredibly formulaic and stale, with the usual jokes repeated several times throughout his review videos. You could pretty much pick a random video from the last 3 years and aside from a few actually helpful tidbits of information on how to properly cook/season the food, they would be for the most part, almost carbon copies of each other.
