Josh FINALLY Impresses A Pro Food Critic!

[@TheWeirdestOfBugs]

Now this is how a proper critic speaks. Not just dragging someone down, but giving proper feedback. As someone who studied to be a music critic, this guy is what I aspire to be.

He was told he was getting a captain crunch-themed experience and he was enthusiastic about it. He even made recommendations to increase the amount of captain crunch.

[@sw4mpy]

Ikr, he won me over as soon as he said he wouldn't write anything he wasn't willing to say to the chef's face. That's really admirable and honorable. It's no wonder Josh looks up to him!

[@saraswati5370]

WOW, such an unexpectedly pleasant man! I was skeptic at the 1st minute of this video cause he reeks pretentiousness, but found none at all! His comments are eloquently insightful and you can really feel they're constructed thoughtfully, and there's this ease to his presence. My full respect to Patrick Kuh, I thoroughly enjoy this episode.

[@xJamesLaughx]

What I found most intriguing about him is he is the first critic I have seen go into a food tasting without any preconceived ideas and was completely open to trying something completely new and actually giving it a fair shot without any pre-determined bias's just because of what the one ingredient was going to be.

I feel like this series is helping break down any negative preconceptions about food critics from people that feel like it's not a real job. Nah, these dudes have forgotten more about food than you'll ever know, it's on their brain 24/7 and they're travelled all around the world to learn exactly what good food is. They've worked incredibly hard to ensure their opinions are the most coveted by the food industry and consumers alike. I LOVE this series; it takes a lot of balls to put your work under the most scrutinizing kind of fire there is.

This has probably been one of the best episodes of this series. He clearly believes in ypu and your abilities which makes every criticism all the more better. Not to mention how constructive his criticism is that isn't critical of the Cap'n Crunch but working with it.

Josh Scherer vs. Josh Weissmann would be epic. Best of three.

Interesting. I have fried them with potatoes and onions since learning that from an ex years ago. No one else I know cooks them like that.

If you really want to try regardless: Salt dough (5/3 ratio - så 500 grams flour, 300 grams salt, add ca 300ml water gor a malleable dough) wrapped around your turnips for a little over an hour at about 180C. The turnips bake beautifully. A nice sauce etc. and they're a good main course.

Fun fact; the reason why (we here) in Britain call artichokes Jerusalem is due to a mispronounciation of the French name, the French name references the visiblly Heliotropic nature of artichoke flowers. Heliotropic means it follows the sun as it goes around the sky, whilst all plants are heliotropic you can actually see artichoke flowers follow the sun
