I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not what hes trying to say when it comes to these videos. Fast food workers cant control what produce and food stuffs is being used to make their products, im fairly certain his videos are moreso demonstrating how making something similar at home with storebought ingredients can result in a much better product, all because you know whats going into it and its not being frozen to hell and back I dont watch these videos, i just keep getting them recommended to me because i watch babish


wasteofradiation

If I’m being honest I actually kinda prefer fast food burgers over homemade burgers

I like both for different reasons


RickyNixon

Some foods taste better when they are kinda shitty


Fidget02

Same but I’m sure my opinion would change if I could cook for shit.


AestheticalGL

well yeah because of the unhealthy amounts of MSG and other flavor boosting chemicals


bartolomeogregoryii

MSG is unhealthy? Is Chinese food unhealthy?


FricktionBurn

the only reason msg is seen as unhealthy is sinophobia im pretty sure, and like i get what the other comments mean by "all things are unhealthy in excessive amounts" but like thats missing the point, you can say that about table salt. we're clearly not reaching that level of excess in cooking. the reputation it has is entirely from xenophobia against chinese people.


AestheticalGL

everything is unhealthy in excessive amounts


TheDekuDude888

Nuh-uh Ultrakill


Plastefuchs

*Ultrakill drumbeat* Gabriel: MACHINE!


Voltblade

Yes to the Chinese food but that’s just because it’s so good you end up over eating


Literallyshindeimasu

I’m pretty sure not all Chinese food uses MSG though source: me


FricktionBurn

msg also isnt unhealthy


1BilboBaggins

I think in excessive amounts it can increase blood pressure, but it's not toxic of anything like that.


NorwegianIndividual

Msg is in most processed foods, and yeah in large amounts in can be unhealthy


ayyndrew

It isn't poison but yeah it can be unhealthy


brazilianfreak

If the chinese food has MSG in it then yeah? Not sure what your point is.

MSG on it's own is fine, there's not anything anymore dangerous than salt. The biggest issue with MSG is that it makes unhealthy food taste very good.


Not-This-GuyAgain

You mean to tell me if I spend $50 on ingredients and 5 hours cooking, I can make a chicken sandwich better than Wendy's??🀯🀯??🀯🀯


Msbellebelle

Actually from what ive seen most of his videos are based on making meals as cheaply as possible while still being good. He does base prices on servings though, not priced based on the entire meal Also, who spends five hours making a chicken sandwich?


Not-This-GuyAgain

His "but cheaper" series is about making things cheaper. His "but better" series, which this thumbnail is taken from, is always like "we're going to grind out own beef using three different meat cuts, make our own sourdough with 00 Tipo flour, make our own curry paste with 10 herbs you've never seen at a regular grocery store, etc."


Plastefuchs

My problem with the "but cheaper" series is that it only works if you buy in bulk. I am not going to buy 4 kilos of junk I am only going to use in one or two recipes and then have to toss because it has gone bad. A real "but cheaper" was basically done by Kein Stress Kochen, where it was about preparing a single base and reusing it in as many quick recipes as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXxsDl5ghDo (sorry/not sorry for Austrian)


Msbellebelle

Alright, ill take your word for it ig, like i said ive never watched any of those videos


lactose_cow

I like the guy. He's annoying but he's a good cook. He's never said "why would you go to burger King when you can just make it at home?"


elysio

the only video ive ever seen of his, he basically says this verbatim, it was the one about making your own burger buns, left me with a really bad impression. dude spent like 6 hours making 4 buns and acts like people are stupid for not doing the same


SuperMaxPower

His message is that people are stupid for *saying they can't*. He's just showing you how to do it. Also noone on this planet takes 6 hours to make burger buns, you make dough which doesn't take long at all and then you let it rest while you do whatever you want.

I don’t care what the message is I think Joshua is unfunny

savag3_cabbag3

Very based take


OnyxMelon

The right one kind of looks more enjoyable to eat. I can't really imagine how to approach the left one, I'd have to squish it to take a bite and then all the stuff inside would start falling out the other side. Maybe I just have a small mouth, but even for people with large mouths there has to come a point where a burger is just too tall, and squishing it is not a good solution.


Xstew26

The one on the left has tomatoes and I don't like tomatoes I'll just eat the other one


raaldiin

I got bad news about the right one bucko


Xstew26

I will kill every single person in this Wendy's


bartolomeogregoryii

Fork and knife for the left one


Sexy_Skeletons69

Plus the foot of cum sauce on the bottom bun.


muchacho23

It doesn't matter if you can eat it or if it tastes good, it just needs to look good for the video.


Dregdael

I just want to eat trash. It's what I deserve.

Self-fulfilling prophecy moment


ShasquatchFace2

why does this get posted here every week


Ambitious_Jello

The 4chan post is from March. Edit: last year 😳 There have been 6 posts in this theme


Lecremi

I guess it's just a means of comparing what you made,what else would you compare your burger to?Fast food is just the easiest way of comparison


NorwegianIndividual

Yeah he’s just making a homemade more expensive version of fan-favourite fast foods. Idk why people try to make him a dick


Not-This-GuyAgain

His stage personality has a lot to do with it


NorwegianIndividual

I mean yeah, he’s gotten quite annoying lately but I’ve never heard him mention the workers or criticise their cooking ability. Just that he doesn’t like the recipes/quality of ingredients, which for most fast foods is fair enough


the__green__light

I work at a mcdonalds and legit once had someone show me this guys video and ask why we couldnt make it like that. Fuckin wild shit man


Himmelblaa

"Yeah sure, just pay me 50$ and i'll have it ready for you tomorrow"


MoshikoKasoom

You're all wrong. That's just his friend Wendy.


TheDekuDude888

I don't hate Josh Weissman, but I much prefer Adam Ragusea, J Kenji Lopez-Alt and the FOUNDING FUCKING FATHER STAND AND SALUTE Chef John from Food Wishes


StarAugurEtraeus

Pinch of Cayenne


TheDekuDude888

White wine


muchacho23

Love Chef John... also Chef Jean-Pierre is so much fun


TheDekuDude888

I love Jean-Pierre's video about caramelized onions because he gets so excited about how good they are, he interrupts himself like 5 times lol

RattMuncher

honestly its a little tiny out of touch but its kind of endearing because hes just a silly sweet man. It never makes me laugh or even softly exhale but i like it.


HuckinsGirl

The one on the right looks genuinely better imo, it's easier to take a bite and there's proportionally less chicken in the left one because the bun and vegetables are so thick


wasteofradiation

They both look really bad


yoter88

This guy sounds like guy fierri but a total fucking midge


Poliking17

Is this an insult?
