What does Veeky Forums think about him?

I used to like him but now he just seems obnoxious.

Kenji is my "almost scientific cooking" boy now.

Not nearly as funny as he thinks he is.
>DURR WHY IS IT CALLED A GRILLED CHEESE
Because it was originally made on a flat-top commercial grill you fucking inbred faggot. You KNOW this. It should have been a throwaway joke but he based a whole fucking segment around it.

He was awesome when he was the nerdy cooking science guy. He was okay doing commentary on Iron Chef. He just completely fucking sucked once he was on Next Food Network Star. Now he's begging for scraps doing whatever stupid game show that Guy Fierri and Rachel Ray can come up with.

>flat-top commercial grill

Except those are not grills you uneducated mongaloid. What you are referring to is a griddle which is why he made the joke that they should be called griddled cheese.

park on a driveway, drive on a parkway.

really boggles the ol noggin

>Because it was originally made on a flat-top commercial grill you fucking inbred faggot. You KNOW this

It was originally made in a broiler, which overseas is called a grill.

I think you're the one who lacks a sense of humor, my butt-blasted compadre

That's the network's fault. They don't think scripted shows get ratings.

That is network television in general.

that pork is raw...

His target audience seems to be 10 year old children, either that or retard Americans.

that raw jiggle

Especially when said pseudo cooking shoe makes you miss the original version even more

I used to like him, but like many people since 2007 he has become way too narcissistic and full of himself. Same shit happened to bryan cranston

>taking the time to fully cook something just to rip at it with wolverine claws before tossing it.

>originally made in a broiler, which overseas is called a grill
That makes zero fucking sense as grilled cheese was an American invention.
Need a source there buckerino.

Pretty much agree, and he was never that great to begin with. He offered something different and it was cool, but go back and watch that show...it's nearly unwatchable. Did not age well.

I despise him

As someone who didn't watch him when Good eats was broadcasted and only watched it a year or two ago..
I don't really think it was that great. It's pretty cheesy and I guess it had heart, but it didn't really give me anything.

>they forced alton to do the show

Complaining about unitaskers is pure autism.

its called a grill dipshit

I liked good eats except for his sorry ass over-the-top attempts at humor which were cringe inducing. I don't watch any of the retarded type shows he did after good eats, so I can't comment on any of that trash.

I truly think he's a hack when it comes to cooking

I've tried many of his recipes and every one of them has been bland and overly complicated. Fucking 2 days for french toast? give me a break

He was a real ground breaker, he popularized the "clown around to make cooking seem fun, because cooking on its own definitely isn't fun" approach to cooking. Highly condescending and really off-putting to anyone who actually *does* think cooking is fun, but it spawned a generation of people who are "into food", and thrust an entirely new genre of food-only mass media into the mainstream, and in my opinion can therefore take credit for such things as the gentrification of fast food, and the proliferation of inexpensive high quality cookware, etc etc.

So while I find him obnoxious and his material unhelpful, I can't hate him too much because he's made the world overall a better place.

i used to lobe watching up with my dad when i was a kid. but i think fame did something to him, he used to he and ultra religous baptist then just quit because of "muh homos" and how he judt acts like a pric in general

Our guy

>Fucking 2 days for french toast?
You mean overnight? While you sleep?
It's pretty good french toast too and takes absolutely no time to prep or to cook

I like him, his recipes are pretty good and the videos are fairly entertaining in comparison to others.

The Adam Savage of cooking.

>Alton's French toast
>bland
>overly complicated
Want to know how I know you're retarded?

That video is pretty funny.

Alton "reddit" Brown

better than bourdain, worse than jack

His show got me interested in cooking back in like 2005 and kept me from being a idiot bachelor who didn't know how to cook.

He hasn't done anything of interest since Good Eats ended. At least the Bill Nye of cooking didn't go on about his sex junk.

adam savage is infinitely more annoying

He seems a bit autistic, which makes him /ourguy/

He's an insufferable faggot who thinks science can explain the mystery of life as granted to us by God and his son our lord and savior Jesus Christ.

His Chopped series was so fucking obnoxious. He is so fucking full of himself

>Decent guy
>Calls himself a TV personality not a chef
>Seems to know his stuff
>Kinda interesting
>Isn't Guy
He is alright in my book

These.
Allegedly responsible for turning most of the Food Network into hasguns.
His books and show are decent for entry level "here is how to cook something and a bit of the reason behind how all the parts work" which is a good way to teach things as it lets you eventually put all the parts together and improvise.

...

It’s cooked just a little al dente t.b.h that’s how I like mine

Kek that's a fail if I've ever seen one

>every one of them has been bland
he does the most basic recipes that you are supposed to season to your liking.

agreed. those kenji is a flaming liberal

>season to your liking
I hate this season to taste shit

not everything is able to be tasted as you go, much of the time you just need to now your ratios, put it in the oven, and it should come out right

I will never trust anyone that gives me a season to taste recipe, thats objectively a non-recipe
SHOW ME EXACTLY WHAAT YOU DID NIGGERS!!!

His dad jokes are awful but his science and recipes are on fucking point. I can overlook the politics because good food is important.

>SHOW ME EXACTLY WHAAT YOU DID NIGGERS!!!
Are you for real, nigga? Basic recipes almost always require you to taste it and say "Hm, this would taste pretty good with X". Cooking is all about experimentation and figuring out what you like, if you can't figure out how something will taste based on prior experiences with seasonings then you might as well eat prepackaged frozen food for the rest of your life.

but the proportions of seasoning in recipes is the only thing that actually matters
uh oh, you put an extra oz of beef in your meal!
good thing nobody will even notice

uh oh, you put an extra shake of salt in your meal! The whole thing is fucking ruined now

complete goof ball. knows how to cook.

Dumb cooklet, I bet you tell your mommy how great a chef you are because you can follow instructions from the internet.

You only really start to be able to cook once you can look at a recipe and adapt it to your desires.

also how to get worms

this is bull shit. I made his beef jerky tomato meat gravy and it was fucking divine. Albeit i substituted the jerky with stew meat and served over buscuits. It was fucking soooo good

Based. Altons shows make me wish there were more scientific standard grade resources for cooking and baking. Having to experiment myself using a dozen different chef's hearsay is annoying.
an hero while sounding your babydick please
