Stop using my measuring spoons you pretentious fuck.

The thing that always bothers me about these kinds of people is the grand pronouncements they make about themselves that pretend with the least possible effort to be humble and agreeable. "We really care about making food as delicious and technically perfect as possible" has the same ring of bullshit reframing the conversation as when so-call rationalist talk about how they "believe in the scientific method and critical thinking." These guys just refuse to make or acknolwedge that there is a reasonable tradeoff between time and emotional investment in making food and how good it tastes. Many people know how to make a really good burger out of ground beef and spices, but are willing to just thaw out a frozen patty for a quicker, less good burger because it's just food and who cares?

"Modernest Cuisine is a much better term, because it reflects the Avant Guarde approach of rebelling against the OH GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU PRETENTIOUS BAG OF OSTRICH SEMEN.

You made cheese easier to melt, that does not make you Edvard Munch, fuck.

Wasn't really all that evil.

Or interesting.

Trust fund cooking for the young urban professional.

It all started with Harold McGee.

Who's required reading for any aspiring cook, btw.

You put pureed peas in a centrifuge.

Fuck you.

No, I don't know why that makes me so mad.

Did they invent the velveeta fudge?

A miserable little pile of poorly cooked food.

He shouldn't really have to explain himself if the food is so great.

I just randomly clicked on the play bar with the sound muted and still only managed to make it through about 3 seconds.

So that's how you make food stupid and unappealing.

I like modernist cuisine videos. Never tried any of the food, as there's no crazy space cuisine place in my country, and if there was it would probably be too expensive, but some of the stuff these people do seems quite interesting and I'm all for trying out something new.

Sure, the vast majority of these self-proclaimed modernist chefs seem like insufferable dorks, but who gives a shit, that's their problem, I sure wouldn't mind to at least TRY that crazy sous-vide crio-steak.

Wow, he gave us permission at the end to have differing opinions than him. I have never before met such a gracious, kind, and generous douche before!

It's not just for rich people! Now on to cooking steaks with liquid nitrogen.

fuck you. It wouldn't bother me as much if they didn't try to say this is easy shit to do, or even economically feasible for the general population. Im not saying its bad in the overall schene of things (like say, utting gold leaf on food, which in my oppinion is like going to an orphanage to laugh) Cooking/eating like this is elitist as all fuck that's all there is to it.

Not going to lie, the steak looked delicious. This guy can kick rocks though.
