Padma Lakshmi Tries to Keep Up with a Professional Chef in 180º | Back-to-Back Chef | Bon Appétit

[@temorob]

I love this segment, and most segments for that matter, but no more VR, please. It's making me dizzy!

[@tanyaaraneta710]

me too i dont like the vr seriously 😟

[@smoresrock]

Plus VR 180° is a bit pointless

[@Drazer012]

I like it, i say they should upload a VR and a normal version

[@tom_something]

My computer's not digging it either.

[@thepudgyninja]

I like the idea of being able to look around the test kitchen, but the quick cuts back and forth plus the “vr” is a bad combination. If you’re going to use this tech it needs to be one steady shot.

[@barbicoh]

Is there a non VR version?

[@Scar1907]

Its hard to keep up with time and two persons cooking like.. we are lazg it doesnt work for us 😂😂😂 but great vid idea for something else

[@francesca1695]

You don't have to watch it in VR, you can just turn off the VR default on your phone or watch it on a computer

[@JAYOFTHEWEEK1]

yas go on a fohn or tablat

[@PugLifeJM]

I feel bad for the dislikes, because the video and the guest were great. But this vr thing... just nah.

[@tanyaaraneta710]

that's so true... the dislike is definitely for the vr not the host nor the guest

[@peachfreude]

Nah i don't like this vr thingy

[@unconcernedbadger6732]

The resolution does kinda suck with the 180. Plus I like a well edited video.

[@dragossorin85]

cause you know nothing , vr is not a thing vr is the future

[@RareCandeh]

The general consensus is that it's too extra for a KZbin medium.

[@santiagocastrovids]

I think its agreed? No more VR?

[@KarthikDarivemula]

Agreed. I watched this video on a laptop and its worse. Video is blocky and pixelated.

[@jacksonwilliams5666]

I was wondering why the camera man was so shaky but *I* was the camera

[@BlutigeTranen]

Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa You don't have to watch it in vr.

[@richardstark6259]

@@oggyboggy8692 Good to know, thank you. Might be nice if VR were not the default on my tablet. My mission? Learn to disable VR ( by default). My deadline? As soon as I have nothing better to do. :D

[@oggyboggy8692]

Richard Stark Huh, it's not default on my phone 🤷

[@janani1826]

oggyboggy how do I turn it off?

[@vnolram]

VR as an *option* is fine, but maybe have a standard one alongside? Have to turn up the resolution a ton for it to even be watchable. For some reason the 1080p option is pixelated a *ton*

[@MikeyTake1]

VR is horrible. BA why ruin your perfect setup

[@MagnanimousMinotaur]

The VR + all the cutting back and forth is disorienting and hard to watch.

[@sanjanasandeep9948]

God this is irritating!!! I want to watch this normally!!

[@nhtathinfbntb2746]

vr is overated....always lower quality not sure why anyone would watch pixelated vr over normal hd

[@o3MTA3o]

Change the quality on the bottom right of the video.

[@nhtathinfbntb2746]

@@o3MTA3o i dnt have a 4k monitor but 1440 still looks like security camera footage

[@o3MTA3o]

o l It's 1440/2 because it's per eye so 2160/2 will give you 1080p.

[@acosenza2]

Change the quality. I watched 1080 and the quality is good, but it does still look a bit weird because it is shot for VR

[@Lyander25]

I dunno, it's fun seeing the test kitchen and Carla in VR. The technology is definitely in its infancy, or at most toddlerhood, but it offers an interesting experience nonetheless

[@LindsayLou19911]

Nooooooooooooo not VR 😫 Why BA whyyyyy?!?!

[@M0OSE]

LindsayLou19911 yeah I like being able to hold my phone in any position instead of having to hold it upright so I can have it point directly at them

[@2m7b5]

@@M0OSE Drag the screen with your finger. It doesn't stop it from moving, but it helps center it.

[@JoshMarshain]

Its an experiment, I don't expect them to do it often. Though id love to watch this normally

[@opencircut]

I wish I could control who im watching, being snapped back and forth makes me sick

[@2468zeb]

This is so difficult to watch though

[@ingridw6150]

this is freaking wILD Y'ALL I'M LOOKIN RIGHT AT THE CEILING

[@misssabina235]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO VR! Its annoying !!

[@twilight9237]

miss sabina lol 😂

[@Azuremane]

I think the VR camera placement was a bit off. Pretty much unwatchable for me.

[@stephaniem999]

I see no point in this format. I'm missing everything because I have to keep adjusting to see. It's very distracting.

[@toobahaq2275]

the 180VR is really irritating lol

[@jamesdoe8690]

totally defeats the purpose of vr

[@ordinaryowls]

i get the VR is annoying but can we get some positive comments in here too? love padma and expect nothing less from her! so happy to see her in the BA kitchen!!

[@amberquach3920]

watching this on my phone is hell

[@Chrisfrom_Dallas]

Your version of hell is amusing to me.😎

[@biohazard5ful]

Annoying video format aside, Padma is definitely one of my celebrity crushes 😍😍

[@MaxTrombone]

VR for this is so half-baked. It's good in theory but your professional editors are better.

[@idontevenknow3707]

Well, it IS 180 VR after all.. ok i'll show myself out.

[@Pwn3dbyth3n00b]

WHAT IS THE POINT OF CHANGING A NORMAL VIDEO, THAT ISNT SHOT IN VR/360 CAMERAS, AND PUTTING IT IN A VR FORMAT. Like dam all you had to do was put a 360 cam in the middle or at least two cameras pointed at their backs to get a 360 video, albeit a very bad video.

[@chaoaretasty]

You could even wrap the 180s from each side round so you get a 360 and can watch both of them. Still going to be a bad idea but at least then it almost makes sense.

[@FluxFresh96]

Now i understand the dislikes. I like the idea, it's super cool ! But keep in mind the quality is worse and people (like me) don't want to move their smartphones around in order to see everything (angles are weird). I rather want to chill in my bed in comfort and watch your videos instead :)

[@loganpfister6337]

I guess I`m not going to watch this video now lol

[@dwight9970]

Switch from international keyboard to U.S.

[@BiHermitCrab]

I hate the vr thing.... Can't even watch the video

[@MoxieBeast]

Happy to see Padma is not as dry as I always thought from Top Chef!

[@marielam436]

Moxie Beast ASMR you gotta watch some of her bloopers with tom and gail in the old reunion episodes. they’re hilarious

[@jberkhimer]

Check her out on Hot Ones! You'll fall in love!

[@ginger_nosoul]

The VR was a mistake.

[@AngelCosta]

VR is always a mistake.

[@bglbites]

Not enough people use VR to justify posting a video solely in this format

[@naiomi1877]

So basically don’t move your phone and the quality is awful.

[@sanjanasandeep9948]

I give up. Can't watch it, gives me a headache.This series and Padma are my two favorite things!

[@stefanogomez8529]

I was basically looking at the floor while trying to watch this cause I was eating and I wasn’t gonna hold my phone at an angle for 14 minutes.

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Yes, vr was unnecessary, but Padma rocked that segment! I know she lives and breathes the culinary arts, but I was still impressed. Also the verbal coaching was spot on and clear.

[@bbabins45]

Never do 180 video again. Made me want to vomit.

[@Ddrummond2011]

Girl... Where's the none VR version

[@rfldss89]

I admire that you dared experimenting with the format, however I personally don't like how this turned out. Not very many people have a vr headset at home, not even a google cardboard, and it's also generally inconvenient to watch a video in VR. I think can be immersive, but I don't think it's the way of the future with this series of videos.

[@Malmughairy]

For anyone who wants to watch the video in the non VR version, I downloaded the video using a downloading app and it worked. You’re welcome.

[@ilushk]

just why 180 ?

[@rithwicks]

Well that's one way to butcher VR

[@cuthulucups4878]

VR can be really interesting, but all the cuts made this nauseating and disorienting to watch. Either keep your camera stationary or don't do VR.

[@KR-mx4nt]

I love watching KZbin videos practically upside down and hurting my neck, its great, so cozy and fun...

[@MichaelBacon212]

Love watching these episodes but wasn't a fan of the new format. Had to hold my phone abnormally high to see.

[@HowToOverthink]

You can manipulate the camera angle with your finger (having said this I'm still not a fan of this format).

[@JrFootballStar]

i hate how this was filmed

[@yiasminathefangirl]

like..VR is cool but the quality of the video is lower which i don’t like😐

[@aaronross5129]

why does this need to be vr

[@KennKennX3]

Aaron Ross maybe if you wanna focus on the counter instead of the people maybe

[@KennKennX3]

It just made me dizzy though :(

[@hkessler6500]

Exactly, it’s a cooking video not an action video game

[@jvdybsjnsjh]

Come on guys. No one asked for this.

[@thegrandmagus]

12:31 was it worth it? Padma with a champagne glass she just finished: YES

[@miguelanthonytan6989]

This is unwatchable lmao

I don't think I've ever had this much of a headache watching this video. Please reupload without 180

[@UnrealZmeu]

I don't know about everyone else but I loved the 180 and the camera placement is 10/10. Padma is gorgeous! In a close alternate universe shes the one who played Wonder Woman

[@thec2n14]

Am I the only one who really loved the VR?

[@iflanzy]

Yes

[@war77el]

The only thing that I favor about the technical properties of today's video, is that they went with a 21:9 aspect ratio, which fills my monitor completely. However, Being in VR is a total frustration. But, AS ALWAYS, LOVE the content! LOVE the guests!

[@jennaconrad4857]

no more VR please!!!!!!

[@archetypalculinarian]

First video I’ve seen on KZbin that occupies the entries screen on iPhone XS Max! Love these videos.

[@lemaysonya]

I have to admit I wasn't crazy about the 180° camera in this episode it made watching it difficult on my phone since there were many repositioning of the camera itself

This VR nonsense ruined what would've been a great video.

[@lexyesss]

I love this series but I HATE this VR stuff. I literally can't watch it because it makes me nauseous.

Okay- aside from the VR being a little annoying and distracting I really enjoyed this video. I love Padma and I hope she does come back. ❤️

[@StephMoo59]

Who made VR a thing 😒?

[@angelabrown2413]

Love the VR. Please do more. Perhaps I like it because I watched on an Oculus Go headset and not a phone or TV, but I definitely enjoyed and will now seek more VR content.

[@Kane-5263]

Nope, that was worth a try, but please, don't continue with it, the "old" format is far more better °°

[@LT-ml2ki]

I actually liked the VR. At first it was a bit, wonky. But after a while I just started exploring what was possible to explore😂 What a view! Love how Padma is so real here vs. how she is on Top Chef. Too bad most comments are about the VR and how it distracting it was instead of appreciating how cool it is to have Padma there. I commend you guys for trying new things - as one should!

[@amarcynuk8]

Why the VR??????

[@ArmOfTheSphinx47]

The inclusion of cayenne in this video was the first ritual in summoning Chef John to the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen

no thanks

I was surprised to see VR, but I'm open to a new experiment! But it's killing me that it's only 180, the best part about this is snooping around the test kitchen!

[@dylanwadja]

Looks weird

[@Lyander25]

The timing on this is unreal, I literally just got a Gear VR last week! I'm super hyped to see the new format, but not everyone has a VR set so I feel it'd be best to stick to boring ol 2D for now, haha, or at least upload two versions simultaneously (the implementation isn't completely horrible here, so kudos for that!). Thanks for another excellent vid!

DIdn't this woman write a cook book? Host a cooking show? Is she not a cook? Why do you want glass everywhere when you have champagne? You could have grabbed that cloth and shimmied the cork right off.

Because it's a Cool party Trick probably

[@DinoSarma]

Padma had her own cooking show on Food Network ages ago. She was the host for Top Chef for years.
