Just when you think we have reached the height of stupidity, Epicurious (an astonishingly stupid name to begin with) decides to cancel beef because... climate change.
Today we announced that Epicurious is cutting out beef. It won’t appear in new Epi recipes, articles, newsletters, or on social. This isn’t a vendetta against cows or people who eat them. It’s a shift about sustainability; not anti-beef but pro-planet.
Our mission hasn’t changed. As always, we hope to inspire home cooks to be better, smarter, and happier in the kitchen. We understand you’re going to have questions, and we’ve tried to anticipate some of them. We’re also here to continue the conversation.
This is not a cooking site, it is a cult.
Every organization populated by pronouns types eventually becomes indistinguishable, it's the same BLM, climate change, feminism blather that you can't tell from any other or an activist organization.
I've noticed this as well.
I think it's in part due to the fact that his channels initial gimmick is kind of worked out. How many "Dish X" from "Show Y" are left to do?
Beyond that, almost every single attempt he's made to expand beyond that format has not gone well. Sohla and the "Babish Culinary Universe" have been cringe.
I say this as someone who genuinely likes Babish too!
His Basics series looked good, though now I turn to Adam Regusia for food ideas.
Look at Ethan Chlebowski. He’s solid as well
I started watching Adam Ragusea's channel fairly recently too. I like his stuff pretty well. One his episodes mentioned the old TV show "Molto Mario" with Mario Batali. It's now almost impossible to find due to Batali being cancelled, but there are some episodes on Youtube. Pretty interesting and have gotten some good recipes.
The other guy I watch sometimes is Joshua Weissman. He's a bit of a douchebag, but solid recipes and technique. Gotten some good stuff from him. (And none of the wokeness that sometimes intrudes on Ragusea or occasionally Babish.)
