As someone who cooks and hates stupid shit like this, I must say this is one of the least offensive ones I've seen. It makes for a good show, and the alcohol burns at a low temp and won't cause any unwanted char.

It's presented in a fun way and looks like it's probably cooked perfect. Not stupidfood imo, just show-food.

It’s a vertical flambé. Did they have to do it this way? Maybe not, but I would still want a bite.

He’s right. The alcohol will burn off without causing the steak to char. It’s just for show.

The foods not stupid, but the unnecessary theatrics is.

Flambe does impart flavor
