Chopping a carrot

All right all right, I hear you groaning. Or, more likely, you have glanced past this vid and are watching the next one. But I implore you to press play and soak up the science that Jamie Oliver’s chrome-domed minion is dropping.

I suppose you already know about roll chopping? And you’re not chopping straight up and down, right?

Didn’t think so.

Macaroni and cheese

Unstoppably epically popular Epic Meal Time hits gives their most transgressive video to date, but what makes us so uncomfortable is not the greasy, outrageous food, the sight of which any regular EMT viewer is surely immune to by now, but rather the sight of grown men horsing around with this many underage girls, offering them food, booze (including the controversial Four Loco), and making sexual overtures, but subtle and not. Harley Morenstein put his arms around 20 teenage girls, calls them “bitches” and the boys dig in to some poutine mac and cheese and don’t stop til they hit a million.

Porcini and spätzli

It’s been 5 months since Eat It Rich has posted a new recipe. His blog is basically abandoned. We may have to come to terms with the fact that Claude Stahel may never come back.

Who can blame him?

While YouTube makeup girls multiplied and prospered and basked in the glory of Corporate Sponsorship, and while lesser chefs drew accolades, comments, and popularity with compromised Americanized Beef Stroganoff, he travelled the European countryside in obscurity.

Literally in a van down by the river, he was never made a YouTube partner. He never had more than 500 subscribers. No one seemed to care at all.

Claude is obviously a talented man, with many passions, and many friends. Why would he bother? No doubt he is enjoying a dunkel with 200 bikers instead of crying over his low view count, no doubt eating it rich no matter where he is.
