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.
Bon Appetit did a similar thing where they wiped out their existing talent to make room for people of diversity after the first round of Floyd riots. Amazingly they dropped their viewership by an order of magnitude at a time when interest in home cooking is unusually high and now 90% of their videos is the same low-T white guy anyway. At least one of their previous presenters started her own channel and is consistently outperforming them out of her home.
Unless I'm conflating two separate internet spats, I think that came from Sohla who they shitcanned after that. But before she was at BA, she was with Serious Eats and also caused drama there, some metoo shit if I recall correctly.
Now she's attached to soyboy Babish's channel. Can't wait til she crashes and burns his reddit-tier shit too.
I frickin' hate Sohla. She is such an annoying personality. And yes, she has caused drama at every single place she has been (excepting perhaps Babish).
The good news is that Babish and Sohla have "mutually" agreed to not renew her contract, because Sohla is ... so busy with new projects. Not because her views sucked, yeah.
I say good news because I like Babish, though I feel like within the last year or so he's come close to jumping the shark point.
Babish's content started going downhill when he showed his stupid fucking face. Happens to every content creator. Stay anon, make good shit, it's literally that simple.
I finally got sick of his shit at Troy's casserole from community. Dude didn't even try for the show accurate version, and then did some froufrou bullshit instead of making a casserole. Like nigga you have one job and it's to make food from the tele or movies
That and the channel rename. "Culinary Universe", my man you ain't even a proper chef. Epitome of reddit-tier Dunning-Krugerism
