Which food video shows on YouTube deserve more attention?
Main Post:
Among the under-rated, are Lucas Peterson's "Dining on a Dime" videos, where Eater did 14 seasons featuring him as the show's host.
Top Comment: Aaron and Claire. Just so fun and wholesome Korean recipes
Food Theory: Should I DELETE This Video?

Shame MatPat keeps getting so much flack for his videos, and one person even pointed out "just look at his other two channels" cause their full of holes. But the thing is, they are just for fun. They are tongue in cheek videos, and not meant to be taken seriously. Like the infamous Mario character heights video. Its not meant to be taken so seriously, but people literally take everything he says to heart. And I get that new people might stumble upon his video and take it seriously, but people who are accustomed to the Theory videos take everything with a grain of salt and just appreciate the amount of research put in and the delivery. I mean, its not like anyones about to really start cooking food in a dryer.
Are there any videos of recipes that are actually as good as in a restaurant?
Main Post:
I'm a pretty good cook and I've made loads of nice food from videos I've watched, but none if it is as good as restaurants.
Even when you watch famous chefs teaching you how to make stuff, it feels like they're holding back.
Are there any videos explaining how to make restaurant quality food, or am I just not good enough to do it?
Top Comment: Try adding more butter. Then double it.
What cooking YouTube channels you watch that are actually practical?
Main Post:
I like watching basics with babish and stuff but the recipes he does are hard to follow for me, from getting ingredients to cooking methods. I find that a lot of cooking channels I follow are more for entertaining value, less for actual cooking. I find “you suck at cooking” far more practical. Short format and realistic and simple recipes! Are there any other channels like that? Edit: wow, I did not know that there were so many cooking channels! Thanks for suggestions! Looking forward to learning some practical cooking!
Top Comment: American's Test Kitchen. Unlike a lot of these amateur hour shows, they explain to you why you are doing what and what to avoid to get good results. I'm a big fan of their cookbooks. I also like some Kenji Alt Lopez videos and also a fan of his cookbooks.
What are the coolest, most creative videos about food or cooking to get people excited about F&B?
Main Post:
Looking for your go-to videos that get you excited about food. The subject matter can be anything from fine molecular gastronomy to home-style comfort food. They can be mind-bending creative like Heston Blumenthal or just plain old passionate like Mind of a Chef or Franklin BBQ.
Our idea is to give new staff in our restaurant (and completely new to the industry) a portal into the culinary world and let them explore the fun/creativity/passion/weirdness of our wonderful world.
Top Comment: I feel like Chefsteps is that go-to cooking channel for me. All of their videos are made with beautiful detailed shots and are very pragmatic. It reminds me of the Modernist Cuisine with how thorough their recipes are and with all the novel techniques they showcase. This is one of my most recent favorites where they make carbonated fruits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So4ZrzBkJsA This is a video of their Chocolate Mustard stew which always gets me very excited: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvsXHSayUvU
