With only one exception currently, I don't typically watch any chef or channel religiously. Mainly just tune in randomly watch for fun & ideas. Sometimes I will seek out a dish, recipe, technique.
- Jacques Pepin has been re-releasing old content along with new-ish stuff, a lot of it quite simple yet fantastically good. Amazing the ease he breezes through things and still maintains humility, he's just on a higher plane than most of the of the other shows.
- George Motz is the only one I consistently watch. He's a freaking riot, and arguably the most knowledgeable person on the planet when it comes to hamburger history. He just keeps knocking it out of the park imo.
- Ballistic BBQ is good, Steve (?) tends to walk you through everything for a recipe. Easy to follow.
- Malcom Reed is definitely a good resource.
- Sam the Cooking Guy & BBQ Pit boys are good for fun simple ideas. Or sometimes just the humor value.
- Alton Brown is still a good science & technique guy as is Adam Ragusea
- J. Kenji Lopez-Alt breaks stuff down quite well too.
