I was watching Mythical Kitchen's Last Meal series and caught the episode with Padma Lakshmi, and it got me thinking. I'm a big fan of hers. Her story is super interesting and she has this great balance of classy and elegant, while still being very relatable to all levels of cooking. I very much enjoyed her Taste the Nation series because she not only highlights different cultures' food, but their way of life and how food is such a big part of culture. I think it's easy to write her off because she's beautiful as well as having been a model, but she is incredibly knowledgeable about cooking and she understands the cultural connections to food I love to learn about. I'm Korean myself, and food and eating infiltrates so many aspects of socializing and I think it's super interesting how that applies to other cultures.

I like that there are so many now and food from all around the world gets a spotlight in many different avenues nowadays. Food is one of the few things that connects us as a species and there are amazing dishes that many people will never get to experience in person, so it's great to me that dishes can be showcased on a global scale.

So who are your favorites? Or do you dislike the concept? Also, if you have any food related YouTube channels you enjoy, please share! A few of my current favs are Maanchi, Mythical Kitchen, Sorted Food, JOLLY, and Korean Englishman.

J. Kenji Lopez-Alt of serious eats is probably my current fav. I like how he takes the scientific method approach to testing different ways of cooking something with only one thing adjusted, for a true test. And the write ups for the recipes are usually pretty insightful unlike a lot of the other ones I’ve come across. As far as a bigger celebrity chef Ramsay is always entertaining to watch.

I enjoy all of the content that J. Kenji puts out.

Oh definitely Kenji. I'm a huge sous vide cooker and loved all his sous vide stuff on Food Labs.
