Ha! The second someone says "Alton Brown" I know they watch Youtube videos to learn how to cook
You made a good point. Men like to thing they're the alpha in meat cooking, sex, and they all thing they'd be great in a fight. It's a testosterone thing I guess.
people bash Alton brown often. He never claimed to be a elite level chief And nobody has claimed they are masters at cooking from his shows.
What he does is something i have never seen. It teaches the basics and WHY you do things how they are done.
When i see people bash him on that it gives off the impression of those bashing him are snobs.
Is altons way of doing a steak the best? no. but it is rather good to do in the winter when i can't (well i can i just don't want to go into the cold) to grill?
Is Ramsey's way of doing a steak wrong too since he didn't use a very hot broiler?
I have had $100 steaks. they were amazing. was it $80 better then what ic an do on my grill? not really.
though i think i lucked out with having a good butcher with local meat.
