Cooking:

Anti-Chef: Jamie tries to cook from cookbooks if the greatest, but he's not a chef or anything, and you see all his mistakes, such as his recent deboning of a chicken, where he mistakenly de-meated it as well and had to venture out for a new chicken. It isn't bits, just a guy that wants to cook but isn't always so good about following directions, but he learns skiing the way.

Food Wishes: Chef John was a chef, and he makes a wide variety of things in easy to understand ways. He's got lots of catch phrases and such, but he's old so they're endearing instead of obnoxious. His speech pattern can be somewhat off-putting to some, but I got used to it, and he's just trying to be upbeat.

Tool Reviews:

Project Farm: Putting tools, small outdoor machinery, oils, batteries, bungee cords, etc through the paces to replicate real world use and some materials testing. It's pretty fun for a review, and shows what tools are good at their price points.

Music:

David Hilowitz Music: I don't care about his actual music so much, but he makes obscure instruments or repairs broken ones he finds in the trash and ends up with very unique things. He also makes sample libraries from all sorts of things, musical or otherwise, so you can play a version of all his weird stuff.

Cars / General Mayhem:

Garage 54: Some Russian guys with old Soviet cars that do strange Frankenstein experiments with them. Welding 4 engines together, tires made of various objects, all kinds of horrific and entertaining things!

Project Farm is the reviewer that I wish reviewed everything I want to ever buy.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I enjoy the abuse testing, because even if it isn't always scientific, we all tend to use what we have in hand other than the proper tool at times.

His corrosion and UV testing is also great stuff that many review places overlook.

I'd definitely love if he had a better that reviewed more household and entertainment/hobby items!

Chef John's recipes are always spot on; it's rare for me to make something of his I don't like. Sometimes they require a bit of extra effort, but he always tries to make his recipes as accessible as possible, talking about what shortcuts are appropriate.

You reminded me I forgot to mention he goes into more info about the how and why of his recipes in his blog posts linked in the comments too!

They are actually helpful if you want to know more.
