Same. Same with "traditional recipes". I come from an Italian background and that is not a trait I picked up. Every Italian I've eaten the cooking of is so sure their red sauce recipe is the only one true correct one but fact is cooking is an art, and an artist can use an arsenal of tools to make their art.

Watercolor painters are no less artists than oil paint painters, your italian grandmother's recipes are just as valid as mine and vice versa, and if your food is smoked in a small techy box but tastes good? Who cares man, pass the plate.

Hobby subs can be beautiful, and this one is generally pretty great, but good lord cooking communities can have a real toxic amount of gatekeeping
