![]() ![]() What I hope you take from that is that we’ve come to associate your content with great production, education and entertainment value and that’s the only reason it stood out to us. I hope my post did not come across too harsh, as I did mean it from a place of concern, we love the channel! It was just strange to see the difference and I was wondering if we were imaging it. I’m sorry to hear about your struggles and I really wish you the very best. Hey man, I’m super appreciative you took the time to answer this post. ![]() I will always be a supporter of yours and I hope you can find your peace. You made me laugh when tears were in abundance. You helped me find joy in things when joy was hard to come by. Your humor, wit, charm, and knowledge make cooking so much more enjoyable and recommending things like americas test kitchen and kenji/serious eats as guides to furthering our own knowledge has been so helpful. I poured over your videos for hours during some of the hardest times in my life. That being said one of the things that helped me through those periods was investing time into learning to cook and I can honestly say I think I learned more from watching you and your channel than any other source of information. I, myself, have struggled with generalized anxiety and depression over the last few years and it can be truly debilitating. Keep in touch, rest up and take comfort/solace in your loved ones-both the family and friends in your home, and the millions of fans online.Īndrew, I’m very sorry to hear that you’ve been going through a tough time. I personally have enjoyed such an enriched life from experiencing your videos, cookbooks, Basics-and yeah, I'll be honest I haven't bought most of your cookware yet simply because I already have the same thing at home. I hope you know that I and millions of others love you and your universe, and the machines that keep this train rolling. I'm sorry you had to suffer through that, and I hope that your heart refills with that spark and love for food and film, even if you need to take a sabbatical. And not like I can ( ever) afford a plane trip with my condition, but if I did ever go back to New York, I'd go to Dogtown just for spite. You're a better man than me for donating, because I definitely wouldn't have. You made an honest mistake(and really, it wasn't even a mistake considering the place they originally had did close) and that prick gets offended over something that small. ![]() Thank you to everyone that’s stayed on board with me while I find my footing, something I’m discovering is a lifelong process.ĭude, I just read up on these articles about the backlash, and that guy is just a piece of shit. This will hopefully translate to my going back to releasing 1.5 episodes per week instead of 2, so I can focus on them more clearly and put more energy into them. We’re hiring two new people (shooter/editor and kitchen producer) to help support the creation of new content so I can slow my involvement. I’m going to keep taking things one step at a time. It’s temporary, like all feelings, but that doesn’t make it any easier to ignore or work through. There’s a solution here, but I can’t see it just yet, mostly because at the moment, I’m in a completely depressed state. One of the ancillary objectives behind introducing new personalities and shows on the channel was so that I could slow down the pace of producing Binging/Basics, but the extra energy that’s gone into producing them has watered down my original content, and now everything is being met with a lukewarm reception/abysmal viewership across the board (I know that’s subjective, we still get hundreds of thousands of views, but it’s a far cry from where the channel was even 6 months ago). I was positively sleep-walking through that voice-over in the morning, desperately trying to get it uploaded/published before noon, and clearly it shows. I put off working on it until the evening before its release, and after taking 3 hours to get 1 minute’s worth of voice-over done, I had to call it a night and resolve to pick it up in the morning. That folks have singled out the most recent episode (Turkey 5 Ways) is striking. It’s very difficult to hop in front of the microphone to deliver a fast-paced, informative, fun and easy voice-over when I’ve just crawled out of a bed I don’t want to ever leave. Between the channel’s performance hitting an all-time low and being plastered across local news channels last week for the garbage plate incident, I’m having a very hard time coping. I try to be open about my struggle with mental health, but obviously am not transmitting it constantly - I mean that’d be a bummer, right? The truth is I am in a tailspin at the moment. Some things are off the mark, but far more many nails were hit on the head than missed entirely. The discussions in this thread have cut me to my core (in a good way, don’t worry). ![]()
