Food wars!

[@FlorianEagox]

I'm almost completely blind (and also lack a good sense of smell), but I manage to do most of my cooking just fine. There are lots of tasks and strategies I just sort of use instinctively to accomplish several tasks without needing to look at what I'm doing. For example, the stove has little bumps for different temps, measuring cups have physical lines I can feel, I chop in a way where I can feel where the knife is, etc My family was always too scared to really teach me how to cook until one day my grandma just said screw it, you're gonna learn how to make Gumbo today. Since then, I've been cooking all the time and watching videos like yours and Babbish's have been invaluable for someone struggling with visual impairment.

The moral of this story: cooking is a fully immersive art form. Reading a recipe is a good start, but knowing the temperature of your pan by the smell of the searing beef, or maximizing your flow state in a kitchen by having it mentally mapped out are skillz used by the best. Admittedly though, vision comes in handy too.

[@feature25]

gordon is trashhhh. did u seem him cook that cheese sandwich? literally terrible everything (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnaXlIR-ms95p5I). and his runny eggs , burnt bread, raw cheese, fork on teflon, etc. dude isnt that good, or at least doesnt live up to the hype. id say his dishes are out of touch too. and he led a handful of individuals to commit suicide after his high pressure tv shows exploited their anxieties for ratings/$$ that said i think joshs ego is getting out of hand, but i think he can cook mostly. there are times i think hes full of shit with the "but better" results, but hes not gonna make himself look bad on his own yt.

I haven’t laughed so hard in a while. This was hilarious. I was cracking up when the towel almost caught on fire. Classic.

[@Ferdziosz]

This just shows how skilled and aware as a chef Josh is. He knows how much every flake of truffle weighs, how a sauce should sound, he can tell any ingredient by touch, sound or (duh) smell. It really takes A LOT of practice and dedication to reach this level of skill in anything, be it cooking, producing music, woodwork etc. As a former chef myself (changed field of work right before covid), mad props to you Josh (not like you didnt prove your skills before). It is clear you are passionate about cooking, but also you know very well how skilled you are and how much knowledge you have. Keep on choppin papa
