Perspective: This lo-fi cooking YouTube channel is the antidote to hyper-stylized Food Instagram
You Suck at Cooking is the perfect antidote to the high-gloss food social media scene. By Tanya Sichynsky Tanya Sichynsky Embedded audience editor on the Style desk Email Bio Follow Editor March 12 As soon as I wake up, I’ll have a classic bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel, a savory Dutch baby, maybe some lox on toast and a green smoothie. Lunch is steak salad, but also a tofu stir-fry, cheesy tortellini and Sichuan noodles. Dinner? Dinner is three different pizzas.
But in reality, the miles-long journey my thumb embarks on each and every day is motivated almost entirely by an insatiable appetite for perfectly framed croissant crumb shots and dinner spread flatlays . I know I’m not alone; “Food porn” is such an accepted part of our vernacular that Googling it at work won’t get you fired. And for almost as often as I’m consuming food porn, I’m helping create it.
The similarities start and end there. As far as food media go, YSAC is subversive: No motherly figure behind a kitchen counter, no impeccably styled “hero shot,” no award-winning cinematography, no Guy Fieri.
