Diners Drive Ins and Dives is pretty comfy. So is barefoot contessa

Easily

Personally for me it’s the original Japanese Iron Chef, but Good Eats is great and Alton was also good in Iron Chef America

first few seasons of Hell's kitchen were fun

I think alton is one of those secret assholes

I've met him irl at a coffee shop in Georgia. He seemed friendly. Heard he's a big gun nut too...maybe a low key Trump voter.

This, the original Iron chef was like watching an artist paint. It was an experience. Good eats though while less of an experience gave me my desire to learn to cook. it's fun, quirky in the good way, educational and just very proficient at teaching one to cook.

Japanese Iron Chef is good. Iron Chef America not so much. It kind of stripped the good elements like exotic ingredients and having you choose between quality over quantity. Also, a little doubtful at who they choose to be Iron Chef.

The show was sterilized for no good reason other than to help launch their other cooking competition shows Chopped and Cutthroat Kitchen. Good for different reasons. Chopped for skill with ingredients and Cutthroat Kitchen for triumphing over ludicrous handicaps. Been getting tired of Chopped lately, mostly because every sob story is starting to sound the same. Someone has cancer, or they're doing it for their dead parents/ relative or they're a woman trying to show their male dominated profession that women can cook or something like that. It gets a little too heavy handed in the later seasons.

I met him once after one of his shows, he's super nice and very personable.

Without a doubt. He's a great host and his show was amazing. It's like beakmans world for adults. I'm sad that there's only a few seasons of it and we'll probably never get another one like it.

Chopped is just a bit too sterile and by the numbers now. Cutthroat Kitchen is almost always entertaining.

Yes. Alton doesn't just say "do it this way" he takes the time to explain WHY without being patronizing.

He's passionate about firearms. I have some pictures but I don't feel like searching through my /k/ folder.

Two seconds on google.

The holy Trinity of cooking shows:

>Original Jap Iron Chef
>Good Eats
>Chopped

The man has taste

Nice.

I agree fellow gentle sir!

i've seen every episode and made recipes from a good third of them.

Most are pretty good. I made his recipe for wassail and after that I will never go wassailing again.

Fuck yes. But i hate the stories.

Fav episode was carnival themed. Who the fuck makes a entre out of FRIED cream soda. Thats fucked

>no Mexico: One Plate at a Time

im a fan of cutthroat kitchen
its just "be a cunt while cooking" the show, but its entertaining for a reality show

We do not discuss Mexico and their "food".

>Japanese Iron Chef
>Good Eats
>Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares
Fixed

I watched his Thanksgiving show and spatchcocked the turkey like he did in the episode and it turned out really good...whole family loved it. His pickle recipe is good too.

Cutthroat Kitchen can be pretty good

Kitchen Nightmares isn't a cooking show, it's closer to like an HGTV show

Yeah I agree, the sob stories are predictable and tired at this point but rapid fire nature of the rounds is food kino. Trying to guess what they'll use the ingredients for and whatnot

>unironically not knowing Rick Bayless

I know, I just don't care.

This is a man who knows how to enjoy life.

agree on all three

>It's an "Alton rants about unitaskers" episode.

The only unitasker allowed in the kitchen!

alton is my dad desu

God of Cookery.
Ultimate cooking kino.

Alton is kino in human form

What about cooking movies?

Back in 2003 I used to watch this with my mother while fasting. That show was amazing when you hand't eaten for a week. I was practically licking my screen.

movie?

>barefoot contessa
>her gaggle of homos at the end of every episode

The movie is called "Jesus christ Favreau it's just a grilled cheese sandwich".

Yes. I've learned most of what I know about cooking from Good Eats.
Some of his recipes are a little odd though.

You tell me op, you tell me.

Funny American's consider this high class fine dining.

And here's an example of british high class fine dining.

Abandon thread

no. that is the original japanese version of iron chef.

He's was raised in Georgia and finds guns to be an important part of his life. Same with Christianity. In terms of politics, I wouldn't know, but it's best not to assume.

nothing wrong with that except the end when they dip the sausage like it's a dick

Who was the best side character?

Teaches good techniques, the science behind shit, and skills, but most of his recipes are needlessly complicated and pretty mediocre.

yeast puppets

>Is this the best cooking kino ever made?
Japanese Iron Chef is, fite me

Damn, she's all about the Anglo D.

That's the problem I have with the show. He both tries to make something the tradition way (meaning it's gonna taste really standard) but then goes through making everything from scratch over a really long period of time. Worst of both worlds, in that regard. But I say this as a person who really enjoys his show.

I want to marry Alton but he doesn't like faggots. :(

>Watch barefoot contessa as a child looking for footkino
>Almost vomit when this fat bitch appears on my screen

I don't trust fat cooks. Fat people have no concept of taste.

I remember Dewberry and that one guy who started sweating in the food

What show is /ourguy/ Ainsley in?

that show wolfgang did back then before he invited actors was bob ross tier.

>browning hi power
>mfw

>chopped
>not grillin and chillin
you dun goofed

What the FUCK does Jeffrey see in her?

I'm not sure I know what that face means.

He looks like a cuckold, and takes too much pride in his belongings

Molto Mario is pretty comfy

do you have autism?

jesus fucking christ Alton it's just grilled cheese

I can make a better one.

kenji is a stupid faggot

>viewfinder phone in the shot
>more than cheese in a grilled cheese

>started sweating in the food

>But he held up one of the books and said, “So, okay – this book’s from the South, where I’m from, and it’s got a few things in it that might be kind of foreign and exotic to you Iowans.” He turned the page. “Look! A real live Negro!”
>Silence.
>He muttered, “Okay. Remind me not to make African-American jokes in Iowa.”

A secret asshole?

I got like one page through this and it sounds like the writer is just an overly sensitive liberal who can't take a joke.

>i want a grilled cheese
>better spend a half our setting up and warming the charcoal grill
>better spend time making some trays out of aluminum foil
>better be 100% more complicated and do 100% more work for maybe a 5% better sandwich

...

You just don't get food.

His episode on homemade smokers caused me to make one like his, but tragically Alton led me astray. The first thing I started the thing the hot plate burst into flames and it got so hot it cracked the giat flower pot he said to use as a smoker. After much fiddling with it I eventually gave up and bought an electric smoker.

The high power sucks.

It's spelled casserole

Alton John and Jeff Corwin.
Cooking and nature kino, that was my childhood.

way too much cheese

>The things I do for you guys!

There is no such thing as too much cheese.

>not pouring your heart and soul into a dish, no matter how humble it is

>jackposting

W was pretty cute in the early seasons before she got noticeably old.

There's no way to say this without getting called Sup Forums but Chopped lost its magic for me when they very clearly started having quotas for contestants, like there's no way they're honestly just by happenstance getting a gay/lesbian chef as one of the contestants literally every single episode.

The problem is then it really doesn't seem like they're getting rising stars but what makes the show seem progressive. And the stories are just obnoxious. I don't care, at all, about your dumb organic free range scuba diving gluten free restaurant concept to satisfy your dying uncle's wish or whatever.

But does it really matter? I don't think the diversity detracts from the show, but I do agree that the constant sob stories are lame.

Food Wishes is pretty good. but cant say I like it as much as Good Eats

Contestant sob stories are one of the worst parts of reality TV. I'm not sure if they were a British or American invention, (I think we can blame American Idol desu) but I have not one time enjoyed some guy yapping about how his parents died young and how music/sports/cooking/whatever was his happy place. This is especially bad when we have just met them.

It's unfortunate that the average TV watcher doesn't find cooking itself interesting enough for it's own shown and needs forced drama to make it worth watching. Cooking is fascinating and more people need to do it.
