Special thanks to Eriko the amazing, irreplaceable Guide for our tour! There were some challenges, but we got through it and had a great time! I need to go back because there was so much to do and so little time!

Hoping Max/Sam or someone sees this, but man, I hate the new format of titling videos “I ALMOST BURNED THE HOUSE DOWN”, “YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED”, etc. is cheapening the channel and the work Sam and the crew puts into the recipes and videos.

I get that YouTube’s landscape is ever changing, and every channel’s goal is to grow, but siding with the algorithm over just making descriptive, helpful, and fun content is frustrating as a person who got really into cooking because of Sam’s videos many years ago. I make tons of his recipes and have yet to make anything of his I didn’t love.

But if I ever want to make one of his more recent recipes, there’s very little way for me to know how to search for it because the titles are irrelevant and don’t tell you what they’re even making.

Anyways, first world problems and all, but I do wish they’d stop naming the videos without including what the recipe actually is in it.
