9 Ridiculous Cooking Myths You Probably Believe (Cracked)

[LMNO]

Dear Sweet baby Jeebus....are you telling me that there are people out there who actually aspire to be like Marcel?

Forget it Jake... It's Seattle.

Nah, Seattle would eat those kids alive. They'd better stick to their island and/or rich little peninsula. They're not ready for Lake City on Saturday night.

And who the hell would feel threatened by the idea of cooking meat in a vacuum-sealed bag in a warm-water bath? That makes less sense that most of your drivel so far.

Why? Why ever?

"Up for some steaks guys? Let me just vac-seal these up and let them sit in a warm bath for a while." Yea, that sounds appetizing. Why you do that to a steak???

I honestly don't get why anyone would do this. Because they suck at cooking? It still seems needlessly complicated. Because they have some weird OCD that they need meat to be at an exact temperature? Because sous-vide sounds all exotic and cooking things in a needlessly complicated manner makes them feel important? Because they hate meat?

That must be it.

I'm actually at least a tiny bit serious about that suspicion, too. Marcel is a Bainbridge tard, and DECI4 is definitely posting from a fairly ritzy part of Pugetopolis.

And it would make sense that our first "celebrity" poster would be someone like that.

I have a friend on Bainbridge, I should ask him about that guy.

I quoted that friend in quotes the other day, in fact, because what he said completely made my day! However, I'm not going to repeat it here because if DECI4 is from there it would totally out my friend's identity. Not that I think he would give a fuck, but just out of general principle.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Well, from what I remember from that "Battle of the Top Chef Stars" episode they did, apparently Marcel has an entourage of sycophants, so... yeah.

What is this Marcel guy's last name? Does he have a restaurant? I've never heard of him but if he's on Bainbridge I am certain my friend has an opinion. He has an opinion about EVERYTHING.

Marcel Vigneron. Evidently, he currently resides in LA.

Oh, never mind then.

I've heard of this sort of thing before. Molecular gastronomy, or more simply, food chemistry. It requires quite a bit of precision but the stuff that comes out never seems much like, well, FOOD to me.

I think it might be interesting, if it weren't so gimmicky. 

ETA: Apparently, this isn't actually FROM the show itself. But I don't want to sit through a full episode of Marcel right now.

Does it count as quantum?

And I thougt Food Network had a show ike that, with the guy who isn't Alton Brown from Iron Chef.

Orf somewhere.

They probably just put quantum in the title so Syfy could have a cooking show and pretend that it fits.

How does that explain wrestling?

[Sita]

There's wrestling there now? Damn it has been a while since I watched that channel (every time notice it on the guide it's showing some stupid movie)

This is quantum? Cake in the microwave?
