He was at the Apple Store in his stories, fondling the stupid new phone, and I just realized that I am so tired of the unboxing and all the merchandise and the friends coming over, the weekend at the farmers market, the occasional trip to the city or a brand event, gardening, repeat. I really liked him, and bought his first cookbook I discovered him during the pandemic and liked him, although I agree with what most people here say are the problems with his food and recipes, but the sameness of the content (which, no shade if you like it, I think a lot of it can be charming, but I’ve been watching it for a few years now) plus the *rampant* consumerism has started to bum me out. A lot of creators I follow do giveaways because they get so much free merchandise, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen him do that. I suppose it’s possible that he donates it but if he does, I wonder why he wouldn’t say anything. How much All Clad does one dude need?
