how pleasing is it to watch you go through simple recipes that won't make you frustrated, and perfectly come together at the end

I had the pleasure of cooking for Julia Child at one of my restaurants, one of the most gracious people that ever lived.

First off, Julia Child ate fast food.   During one of her last interviews on Larry King she said, "I rather like the In -N-Out burger."   McDonald's is bad.   But fifty years ago it wasn't.   The decline of McDonald's reflect the horrible state of the American food supply in general.   The pork fat thing is nothing new.   A pharmacist told me that about 1970 regarding the burgers sold at his drugstore lunch counter.

The best burger I ever had was prepared similarly by my grandmother who was a Polish 🇮🇩 chef. Inside the beef she put in the diced onions, diced bell pepper, and her herb of choice was parsley. An egg of course and she gave them a light coating of flour before searing. But then she would put them in a baking dish smothered with what we called chili sauce. A tomato based relish she would can with my mother during tomato season from our garden. We would eat it on a bun right out of the oven. No condiments, just the chili sauce it cooked in.

I think everyone in the culinary world cried when Julia passed,such a humble person

“The best burgers are made with the leanest beef”….”let’s add pork fat!” Julia sneaking in the cool stuff. Classic! I have no problem with this!

That "hamburger" is identical to the traditional Swedish "pannbiff", although some also use breadcrumbs. Also I sometimes do the mushroom thing, but without the cheese, and with lots of butter and garlic. We call it "false escargot".

I remember watching Julia's mushroom episode and she buttered her mushrooms WITH HER BARE HANDS. Gawd, I love her and wish she were still here - I grew up with her.

Julia Child spoke at my Culinary School graduation back in 1999. She was very gracious and polite.

made this tonight with my girlfriend. literally the best thing we've ever made. the croque monsieur i made a few months ago comes close but this was next level.

Julia Child did not get the respect she deserved until late in her life. She embarked on her own culinary discovery, a passion she shared with the world. I watched the "French Chef" as a child, was enthralled by the foods she created, as well as her hilarious mistakes. One of a kind, Julia was an inspiration to us all, showing we could create masterpieces of delightful foods in our own homes.

Man, 40 yrs ago in college with my roomies we'd drop an envelope of French's Onion Soup mix into a pound of ground chuck and fry those suckers up, then make pan gravy with the drippings and pour that over baked potatoes, serve with a side of broccoli

When he was rethinking adding more butter to the mushrooms, I could hear Julia saying, add the butter lol. Glad he heard it, too. Anyone familiar with Julia's cooking knows she never skimped on the butter.

I'm sure you won't see this, but. . .  
I just found your channel by chance a few days ago. This had been a really hard period of time for me for many reasons. Your videos have given me so much relief the past few days. Everything about your videos are so refreshing, funny, interesting, and light. You are so appreciated.

Just made these burgers, they were fantastic. Far better than any steak within twice the price. Served with Mashed as the side, and rather than beef stock for the sauce I used good hard cider (real stuff, not carbonated sugar water). Figured if broth wasn’t around, Julia would approve of wine or such, and cider seemed right. Of course drank the rest while cooking, and I know she’d approve of that.

I had the joy of eating lunch at the mess hall every school day when I was 5 and 6 years old (when my dad was stationed in France). I adored a particular chicken meal, but I had no idea what it was. Later in life, I enjoyed watching Julia Child and I borrowed one of her books from the library. I cooked her rosemary lemon chicken recipe, and I recognized it (after nearly 40 years)...I was elated that I finally knew what the mess hall meal was! Talk about delicious!! ❤

I am new to these videos and I am amazed that this man can use humor throughout his demos, but actually knows what he is doing! Very entertaining to watch. Why so few people get it surprises me! Love your approach! Thank-you Anti-Chef!

I just attended an event sponsored by the Julia Child Foundation in Santa Barbara, where she visited a lot and lived.  Her Niece and Nephew spoke about her.  Apparently she LOVED In n Out Burgers and would go frequently

I am guilty of collecting cookbooks, but never having enough time to go through them all… and you are slowly convincing me to pick up both volumes with this series. Those mushrooms looked incredible, and I never would have thought of coating a burger patty in flour 🤯

That thyme you added was absolutely rosemary
