Please help get this guy on Food Network...

I remember that guy when I was a kid, he was awesome. Emril stole some of his swagger from him.

I believe the term you're looking for here is swaggerjacked. Swaggerjacked.

There is nothing wrong with this guy, except exactly what you hate about the others and that is the others provide ENTERTAINMENT with the recipes. The most successful FN personalities are the ones with THE best personalities.

You may like a cut and dry cooking show with more of a classroom feel to it, but the ratings show that it's not so much the recipes people are waching for as it is the people cooking the food.

This guy is an instructor by trade and looks/sounds the part.

If you watch some of his videos he's actually pretty funny. Although 99% of his videos are off camera.

His weakness though is actually a strength. Their aren't any Culinary school instructors on Food Network most were restaurant owners and a few chefs.

The same way Alton Brown teaches the science behind cooking this guy could teach the proper techniques behind cooking.

I find Julia Child and Jacques Pepin very entertaining, and they both are very accomplished chefs especially Pepin.

[SorthNarolina]

Oh yeah and all you have to do is just favorite his video, give it a thumbs up, and leave a comment. You don't have to do it all though. Just something.

have you ever watched america test kitchen or read cook's illustrated? It's a similar scientific type approach to cooking which I enjoy a whole lot. All info, no bullshiat.

Yeah I like that format except sometimes America's test kitchen in their attempts to make recipes simple and foolproof they end up getting really complicated. I like their equipment reviews and taste tests the most.

[mmmbeans]

that's true but even if they are complicated they are usually utilizing techniques which are useful in many situations.

Most home cooks don't want complicated and actually don't mind cutting corners. I understand some of you (even I do to an extent) want the science of cooking. That's the reason they have shows like 'Good Eats' just for that demographic. The average American that gets off work wants a quick & easy dinner doesn't really care about the history, science or art of a particular meal.

I thought about going to culinary school until I found out working in a four-star restaurant briefly that high end cooking wasn't for me. Before and since then I've stuck to casual dinning. No offense, but high end cooking is about egos more than it is about the guest.

[mmmbeans]

i just like learning how to do things.

and game-shows disguised as cooking shows don't do it for me.

Anyone is better than Rachael Ray. The food she makes is the culinary equivalent of gourmet Hamburger Helper.

Most of the Chefs I've talked to are all about the customer and the food. I'm sure there are plenty of cocky ones but that doesn't mean that their main goal is to stroke their egos.

Sounds delish

[SorthNarolina]

Sometimes there are just too many steps. That's most what I mean by complicated.

[mmmbeans]

yea, sometimes shiat just takes a lot of steps though and you won't know if it's worth it till you do it.
