I really enjoy Babish's newer style of video. he's clearly having tons of fun, and frankly after all the horrible shit that guy went through I'm just glad he's able to find joy in his work again, even if it is a little different than it used to be

jesus christ. fucking mental health wards man, those places have fucked up so many people i know who were just looking for help just like his scenario. what the hell.
I've not done a deep dive, but from what he spoke about on a reddit post and on "Last Meal", he was sexually assaulted by a roommate, and was working himself into delirium. I'm sure there were other things, but those seemed to be the major players.
oh jesus. i was wondering why his stuff seemed different lately. yeah if him stepping outside his usual wheelhouse helps him heal from that, fuckin, more power to him, fuck
feels so unfair when people refer to his new stuff as soulless slop when he's just kinda vibing and doing whatever the hell he wants now. the man's endured enough, let him make his silly food tier lists, he's earned it 😭
The funny thing is, I feel you get so much more of him as a genuine person now than in the old videos when you only got some small glimpses, like him slowly going crazy making pasta for the timpano while endlessly rewatching Frasier. I like that. He's more unhinged because he's more relaxed.
I appreciate how open he was/is about the whole thing. I didn't know specifics until his Last Meals episode on Mythical Kitchen. The new Binging videos are some of my favorites.
Most people don't know what he went through, naturally because it's hard to talk about, and hard to take in. I'm really grateful to see him enjoying making videos again. His personality is one of the primary reasons I tune in.

But after hearing some of what he went through... jeez! Yeah needless to say he deserves to just vibe & do whatever videos he feels like
Gotta try Gator Wine.
