You sound like someone who enjoys a good heap of jarred garlic

A funny thing about Jack is that he will remind the audience that he's not a chef. He's just a dude! But then he'll go around to restaurants and complain about what they're doing wrong. He's even had the balls to say he is available to consult restaurants if they want.

Any nitwit cooking as much as Jack for the last 12 years would've shown signs of improvement. Some maybe even developing expert knowledge in cooking. Jack has actually gotten worse at cooking over the years, while his ego seems to have skyrocketed. A strange graph that is.

Jack lost that aegis when he tried to break into Food Network IMO. That was when he declared, without meaning too, that he wants to be treated as a celebrity chef. But like all narcissists, he'll doublethink away and keep both the average guy and the chef as two hats to protect his ego with.

I know it’s dumb, but when I was initially watching Jack for the sheer fascination of the fuck ups, I saw/fancied those electric grinders he was using. I actually splurged on them based on his retard recommendations - it was more of the ease of use that sold me.

Anyway, they work pretty well and it takes almost no effort to fill the container (model dependent). Just make sure the batteries are charged and it will work for months. Why did he 86 them? Is it because sprinkling seasonings from a container is what his idol Gordon Ramsey does? Because he’s so bad at it.

He ends up over seasoning because he doesn’t hold his arm up high enough to properly distribute it over the cut of meat using the sprinkle method.

Knowing Jack he probably broke them. He did almost break his magic bullet two or three times in the maybe hour or so that he used it to film that one video of him blaming it for his inability to cook or measure out ingredients.

Either that or he returned them, since he often loved doing that with his "sponsored" cookware... at least he loved doing it before the Second Stroke.

Criticizing someone for using pre ground pepper. I've said it once and I'll say it again- this is the smuggest thread on kiwi farms

If you've never cooked before, freshly ground pepper is far better tasting than pre-ground and takes almost no time to do. He is a "professional chef", he should be able to do the most basic shit to elevate his fare above trash.

 

[Aaway]

Is Jack walking again I thought he was still all fucked up from the heel surgeries or whatever the fuck after that 5k 'walk' that he made it one hundred feet on.

Maybe I just missed him becoming mobile again but I thought it was like back to back 6-8 month surgery stints.

yes he's able to walk again but not for long distances. he still uses a scooter to get around the store and he was also using one during their recent universal orlando trip

Yeah, kind of like him not knowing how to BBQ except on a gas grill, and getting angry and saying "the BBQ contest was rigged" when he loses to an actual professional BBQer.

He's also completely oblivious to the purpose of turmeric. He just throws a bunch in because he's literally retarded.

Don't forget he can't do grilled cheese either.

The only Gordon Ramsay recipie that I've made and actually like was his shepherds pie. Ramsay has like a half dozen different burger recipies each worse than the last, and all of which involve fucking with the meat, adding egg, breadcrumb etc. Every decent burger recipie just says to get decent 80/20 and then leave the pate the fuck alone.

Ramsay is fundamentally a restaurant chef and home cooking is completely different. Which is why people like Adam Ragusea have taken off.


Yeah I bought a pestle and mortar after I saw so many foodie channels using one. Funny thing is, it's actually pretty decorative and look good in the kitchen/living room. I make an effort to use it (Ginger and Garlic Paste etc) and I don't regret buying it.

Can you use your electric grinder to grind spices?

Ramsay being a restaurant chef is fine, as long as you (and him) remember that, cooking as a business has different concerns (Costs, volume of food, etc) then home cooking. Its when Ramsay try to do home cooking (a la grilled cheese) is when he fucks up.

As far as the electric grinder, I don't have a pepper one but I use a cheap coffee bean grinder for spices just don't use coffee for it too.

lol’d when he poured out so much of the cilantro dressing, he really Jack’d it up.
Also for his shrimp he used lime concentrate even though he had fresh limes.

Why does he have to use so much seasonings. Get a measuring cup ffs.

It's too much trouble to juice a couple limes. Just like it's too much trouble to actually grind pepper.

Jack is a lazy fuck and goes for cheap and easy each and every time. Which might explain why he married Big T.

Man...the character studies just keep coming.
-Jack opens by probably still laughing at one of his own jokes. I'm assuming he's just choked out if Junior if he's that happy.
-Jack says his recipe today is going to be healthy. Sure Jack, we see the stuff you've been cooking.
-He brings up jicama wraps as a substitute to tortillas. Apparently he just found out about them. Unsurprisingly, he tries to bloviate but didn't bother to do a Google search for what jicama actually is.
-Jack says he can just put the taco filling in his hand and shove it in his cakehole without tortillas or taco shells. I'm sure he's done it more than once.
-Shrimpy? While I mull that over, the title screen happens. No shilling this time, kids!
-Most of his ingredients are canned or bottled. What a shock.
-For his adobo sauce, he has Tammy wiping off the peppers off the canned stuff. Seriously Jack, do a web search for how to make the sauce and stop wasting food! Seriously, I can make adobo sauce with the stuff in my kitchen right now!
-Because he couldn't find premade cilantro aioli and he's too lazy to make it, Jack substitutes cilantro dressing. Because measuring is for lesser mortals, he dumps way more dressing in than he should have. "Came out fast" was probably what he said to Tammy on their wedding night to explain the premature ejaculation.
-Adds the lime juice without measuring.
-Jack licks the fork to taste the mixture. The heat for some reason makes him gag, proving he eats very little real food. You can see him walk away from the table while he dramatically screams "LITTLE HOT!!!!!" I had that reaction to an Atomic Fireball...when I was six.
-Jack pours a "little bit" of olive oil on his shrimp. He then adds a lot of non-blackened tajin. Of course, when you have half an ocean's worth of shrimp...
-Not much happens at the sautee for the garlic and onions, except for me almost losing my lunch over the gross jarred garlic he uses.
-He adds the shrimp, cilantro, and lime juice and mixes.
-While heating the jicama wrap, Jack discovers that hot pans are hot. Just like our caveman ancestors!
-While filling the wraps, Jack is worried about the flavor strength of gold cabbage. Ewkay.
-He reminds us not to overfill the tortillas. He says this while standing behind huge bowls of toppings.
-After building the tacos, Jack shoves half of one into his mouth while filling falls all over the place. Then shoves the rest in.
-While saying it's good and he was surprised, he daintily holds his hand in front of his mouth. Jesus Jack, just swallow before talking because Princess Peach you ain't.
-Jack realizes he can put the whole taco in his cakehole and promptly does. Oh Jack, you so crazy.
-Jack wants me to try the recipe and let him know what I think. I might just do that, only my stuff will probably be better.

Why is he wasting the chilies unless he's super weak to spicy food? For the cilantro aioli, he could just mix mayo with garlic and cilantro. Not hard to do. Already mentioned, but he has fresh limes. Why is he not using them? To answer my question why he wasted the chilies, him choking on his sauce shows how low his tolerance to chilies are. I'm not liking the pre minced garlic or him cooking it. Using precooked shrimp is going to overcook and become rubbery. Tossing the cilantro in too early for the shrimp. I feel like those jicama wraps are used for something else, not tacos.

To make his sauce, he should have just used really good mayo mixed with cilantro, fresh minced garlic, and chipotle chilies. I would have kept the onion uncooked, but soaked it in water or pickling liquid. Use fresh cooked shrimp seasoned with just salt, pepper, and cumin. And of course, use the fresh limes.

-Not much happens at the sautee for the garlic and onions, except for me almost losing my lunch over the gross jarred garlic he uses.

He didn't say how long he sauteed them for and he didn't show us the final product. But since he added the garlic and onions at the same time, he either overcooked the garlic or undercooked the onions. And maybe it's a regional thing but I've never seen sauteed onions on tacos before.

Well, I don't like raw onions myself, so I have to cook them if I'm going to eat them at all. I assume Jack's the same way since I've never seen him eat raw onions in his videos. But when I do tacos I just leave them off completely because sauteed onions on tacos adds a weird mouthfeel.

Gordon Ramsay is a great chef, but the keys to his success are luck, timing, and an amazing ability to manipulate the media (plus hard work, obviously). This is a short version, but in '98 Ramsay was one of the best restaurant chefs in the U.K and ran the kitchen of two star Michelin restaurant that he didn't own. He also started to get a reputation as a bad boy, bad boss type. He cultivated media relationships and eventually got Channel Four to do a documentary series on him (called Boiling Point; available on YouTube and worth watching). But right after camera crews started following him, he publicly left the restaurant he was running, announced he was going to open his own restaurant, took most of the restaurant's staff with him, and left his employers high and dry. Then video footage came out of him verbally abusing his staff. It was one of the most brilliant media plays in modern history. He went from someone known only by foodies to a British star overnight.

His new restaurant eventually got three Michelin stars (the highest), the documentary series was a huge hit, and a British media empire began. Multiple television shows and specials in the U.K. followed. This eventually translated to American television hits and a global restaurant empire built primarily on licensing his name. The guy is a great chef, no doubt, and he works his ass off. But you can trace everything back not to purely his cooking but because he was first and foremost good at recognizing his brand as an asshole and manipulating the media to feed into that brand.

Ramsay can cook better than most professional chefs. But he's not the one writing his cookbooks or producing the day-to-day aspects of his television shows. Now, he shows up in front of the camera and cooks a recipe someone writes for him, or yells at someone, or pretends to help a restaurant owner. But he's purely playing a media character he created (who can also cook, manage people, and generally run a business).

Jack can't cook, even after doing it "professionally" for a decade. He has no charisma. His video production skills are crap. His food business failed. And he couldn't even make a video that would get him on as a contestant on a basic cable reality television show.

And I have no doubt Jack thinks he's significantly more talented than Gordon Ramsay, just "unlucky." But he's just an asshole, and not in a way that's marketable.

These are all great suggestions but the problem is that he can't actually cook. If you gave him raw shrimp he wouldn't know how to cook it properly and thoroughly. The best he can do is heat prepackaged foods in a pan or slow cook things.

Yes, I actually am on my second set of electric grinders - Amazon kinda sucks these days with honest reviews. One of the grinders in the first set just died the one day, but what the reviews fail to tell you is, they make the spices extremely difficult to load. So the second set I bought I sat and read pages of reviews before buying. I got 2 easier load models this time around. I used the still functioning older model and put in red pepper flakes and it tears those up pretty well.

EDIT: I removed an extra s due to my fat fingers

I just watched the latest video and this was a comedic gold mine. I almost died when he bit into the “drizzle sauce.” The only thing better would be if he was on camera when the heat hit him. Why didn’t he just cut that part out? “the lazy man’s video editing” I suppose.

Also, Jack is the mayonnaise king, why wouldn’t he take the time to look up how to make an aioli?

Is anyone going to mention the fact that he cut the onions bigger than the actual pieces of shrimp? Also, no red onions?

Anyway, I needed a good laugh today.

Mac & Cheese - PLAYING WITH YOUR FOOD.mp4

I'm a new kiwi. But over the last month I've been captivated by the Jack saga and have read everything from page 1. My plan was to read everything up to the present time before I comment but his actions from this video triggered me as a weights & measures autist.

The fucking tubs of mac&cheese list the dry weight, and packaging tolerances exist by law. To do this experiment properly this asshole would need to measure at least ten tubs each (in reality a hundred) to find the average weight per brand. I doubt major producers would shortchange consumers compared to what the package says given potential legal consequences.

Does he even mention the weight listed on each tub? I might have missed it.

Also this ignorant mong uses ounces instead of grams. In his defense this is proof that he doesn't buy drugs or bake bread, the major purveyors of grams in the US given the need for accuracy in both hobbies. Fuck knows Jack doesn't need accuracy.

His arrogance with regard to assuming that major companies would skirt US laws related to weights & measures for food just to fuck him over is in line with his arrogance in general: fat Jack thinking that he knows best in all situations.

What an absolute bellend.
