Is Express VPN any different than Nord or, Surfshark? Most You Tubers are advertising something....pays the bills, along with click-volume.
Checking out chefs cooking outside of their 'cultural expertise' is pretty damn funny. Hearing Italians or, French twisting and turning as they watch a familiar dish get made or, seeing Asian cooking by non-Asian cooks is a hoot.

My wife just watched along as I watched that. Everything Uncle Rodger pointed-out as wrong, before he pointed it out my wife's going "No" or "Wrong"

Because she's been promoted by food networks as a cooking authority; she's on TV. Many people, therefore, will take it for granted that she is a professional chef, classically trained and knowledgeable.
The fact is, though, she is not a chef, never having attended an accredited cooking school. If you look at her background, it seems the secret to her success is that she's ambitious.
I've never been impressed with her cooking. Plus, I hear that she's cusses like a sailor, and that's always an endearing quality in a woman, isn't it?
Of course, when it comes to TV celebrity cooks who are assholes, she's got nothing on Bobby Flay. I hear that he has to house his ego in a football stadium, and that he's incredibly arrogant and rude.
Uncle Roger is funny as hell, I got hooked on him last year when I saw his take on Gordon Ramsey, who I hear is now a fan of Roger.

Food Network producers don't care, they just want 300-episodes a season: wear something flattering and add-in a catch-phrase or a funny noise. They're so starved for material and content, these 'chefs' end up pumping-out crap like this. It's like The View but, in the kitchen.
Alton Brown has managed to survive and continues to put out unique and interesting stuff. He's smart enough he could likely run that channel, I'd like to be a fly on the wall during his contract negotiations.

LOL People have been piling on her for a long time, Bourdain comes to mind. I learned the dish from a Filipino family, and their version was just vinegar, soy sauce, cracked black pepper, bay leaf, and garlic...a lot of garlic.
Served over plain white rice, but the rice was totally foreign to me. If you ever visit Filipinos the first thing you'll notice is a strange odor of cooked rice filling the entire house, and it was an odor that takes some getting used to. The rice cooker was turned on in the morning and left on all day. Something about that, and the kind of rice, but it was delicious.
