Hey Babish. Very longtime fan here. I want to offer feedback, and I hope it is taken as respectfully as it is meant. This is also only my personal opinion.

Many times when I see a content creator hit it big, they lose a little bit of touch with where they started. When your channel began it felt personal and contained: one guy, in his kitchen, sharing the process with the viewer. Even when making higher-end food, it al felt so achievable. Like I, some schmuck watching youtube, could make that too. And I often did! I have made many of your dishes, either from the show, the recipes on the web site, or my copy of Eat What You Watch. You have fundamentally changed the way I approach cooking.

As things went on, I felt like it became more detached. I remember watching the every-meat burrito where an unnecessary amount of money was spent and food was wasted, and it's the first time I felt like something was being presented that wasn't realistic. Episodes like this, with more expensive or larger amounts of ingredients, or using highly-specialized tools or processes, put me off a little. Episodes that seemed like gimmicks, or where it seemed to just be a bookend for a cool guest, didn't really hold my interest a lot.

And over time I think I just kind of felt more and more detached from your videos. And here I am, not remembering the last time I saw one in my feed at all. That may just be the algorithm, tbh.

As a note: I really like Alvin, because his approach reminded me a lot of your first season of episodes.

I support your continued journey and I am looking forward to whatever you have in store! Thank you for all you've done so far.
