I've only been watching slash knowing about the existince of Kenji ('coz youtube via Babish) for about 4 or 5 years now. Holy Hell have I learned a tonne!
I just read the bit on soaked vs. non-soaked black beans on seriouseats.com and damn near lost it at "Turns out that tracking dog farts accurately without specialized equipment is actually quite difficult unless you're willing to get even more down and dirty than I am in the name of good ol' gonzo journalism."
I do think Hunter S. would be proud of Kenji. I also hope Kenji didn't go to Tolstoy to rid himself of the fart joke karma, 'coz in my experience you just end up in a waking coma.

Op is one of gods own prototypes
Thank you for this gem.
Thank you OP for this reference. I loved everything that HST wrote but I never got the connection. Now I get it. First time I saw Kenji he was making some kind of dough and wrapped it in plastic. Unlike most Food Network stars, he pulled out his Costco plastic wrap box and just ripped off a piece. Not clean and neat – just “IDGAF, I’m too busy cooking.” That got me – this guy is for real. Just like HST, he didn’t GAS.
