- aerostable_slug 5y agoHe didn't claim that, nor does he deserve to be called a narcissist for it. He fully credits those who came before him. Now, not calling Kaffir Lime leaves by their name because some hypothetical person might be annoyed is just pompous virtue signaling BS. It's insufferable.
- ripper1138 5y agoHe had claimed it in the past. you’re right the virtue signaling was annoying too.
- mabbo 5y agoDid you read the article at all? > do remember some folks taking issue with the idea that the reverse sear was your creation. > There’s a competition barbecue team, Iron Pig BBQ, who were doing a similar technique, but it wasn’t published anywhere. After we published it at Cook’s Illustrated, some people were, like, “Oh, yeah, this chef is doing it.” There were people concurrently doing it. The more generous claim would be that I independently came up with the idea, and certainly Cook’s Illustrated popularized it. How is this narcissistic?
- ripper1138 5y agoCourse I didn’t read it, it’s a puff piece about him. I guess he changed his tune, good for him. The nail in the coffin for me personally was that his restaurant in San Mateo was a huge letdown.
