Okay fine but there's a big difference between being critical and/or giving a negative critique of someone's food and just going out of your way to be an asshole to someone.
This man, rarely, RARELY offers good criticism towards ANY cook whatsoever. I understand that there is always a script. Yet becoming a mood killer over 15 episodes is way too much
@@jade7631ill be open minded, he does critique but he is out of pocket throwing food away without tasting it and judging food based on looks usually always and not on taste
@@jade7631you do understand they taste it before it was even served to them right.? They even explain this before final tasting and picking top 3.. plus Joe does help and gives really good cooking tips that actually help the contestants.. it's just overshadowed with how people like you only pick up on what he does during the final judgement.. if he's a bad judge then Ramsay won't invite him to judge over and over again.. I'm a massive MasterChef fan and Joe's tips and helpfulness rarely gets shown on the show but those rare instances you can see how he wants the amateur cooks to learn.. of course he's gonna be pissed if someone's not listening to advices and thinks what they're doing is correct and will wow the judges just to prove them right and the cooking is terrible.. I mean let me ask you this.. have you ever taught someone in the field of your expertise and they shrugged you off to the sides saying they know what they're doing just for them to prove you are right and they are stupid.? Irritating isn't it..? Well that's Joe for you.. Ramsay is also like that but he is much more constrained.. yet we see Ramsay can also be overboard like in Hells Kitchen where he teaches professional chefs what to do only for them to think they know better and fuck up..
@@A.jmmmm04I think on masterchef, other than taste, they also have to judge the food based on looks because they're trying to find the best homecooks from all of the US. So SOMETIMES simple isn't the answer. When you become the winner of masterchef you will open your own restaurant and so you have to be professional.
It’s a character. He won’t say that outside Masterchef ON CAMERA because of nda’s and the potential of him returning. All the chefs on that were judged critically and heavily like that by him all said he’s a nice guy, so.
im ok if the pride based on something real like what Gordon did, absolutely respect Gordon, but this fking Joe guy is just Stupidly Arrogance based on his ego and bully pride.
Worst part is compared to Graham, Gordon, Aaron etc Hes not even a chef, half the time he has no idea what hes even talking about when it comes to all the important cooking stuff.
Theres a difference between attacking and giving criticism. gosh why people these days using words misleadingly, im scared of future era communications
@@basedneutral1173lmao it's not that deep and he's right. Joe is just attacking people. Not even the food. One time he "critize" the plating not by mentioning it looks mismatched, or lack of contrast, or y'know any other technical term. He said "are you proud of this plating? I'm not impressed, it looks cartoony" like, how do you improve from that comment. What even is cartoony?
@VIDEOHOMESYSTEM and he has no right to open his counterfeit mouth on the topic of food if it wasn’t for his mom and being able to coast by on her accolades. Joe embodies the essence of not earning your station and his criticisms strongly reflect how little he knows.
What your saying is people who can’t sing or dance can’t be judges on America’s for talents. Or only athletes can judge on Olympics or only criminal can be judges. You don’t need to be a chef to judge food. You just need to know food. Joe is a winemaker and restauranteur.
A good non-chef judge that I've noticed is Matt Preston from MasterChef Australia. He's a food critic/journalist, and is known globally in the culinary world. The basic difference between Joe and Matt is that Matt is unironically more knowledgeable and open-minded about food. He's familiar with cooking techniques and skills, despite not being in a professional kitchen himself. He also travels the world because it's his literal job, and that he's not eurocentric unlike Mr. Baldy. When he gives criticism it's constructive and actually insightful, he talks about the presentation and considers the techniques applied just by looking at a dish. He doesn't feel like a snob. The show and himself also acknowledge greatly the fact that he's not a chef. When he's shown cooking in the show, he would always just do simple, cheaty recipes that are easy to make that literally any person with a kitchen and oven can do.
Right. Because only the most knowledgable should ever be allowed an opinion. Also Joe is extremely knowledgable. He owns a bunch of restaurants, his mom made millions off of cookbooks. Deal with it.
@@AlexDuWaldtin the nicest way possible: knowledge of cooking should absolutely not be measured by how many restaurants you own and that is a crazy criterion to suggest. Any Michelin-starred chef on Earth knows more about food than Salt Bae.
Yeah, after he said that, I kind of just lost respect for him because Christine was an amazing chef, and the fact that Joe called her a liability, even though she had so much talent just pissed me off so much.
He is totally correct. a blind person being a chef. how the hell does she know what the ingredients are. how does she not burn herself on the stove? How does she know the correct measurements for the ingredients. How does she know The correct temperature for the oven. It is totally ludicrous. 🤪. Off camera I am almost totally positive that there is someone helping her. she only won because they felt sorry for her and it was good for the show and it was politically correct
Except Cutter was indeed the most obnoxious and baffling contestant during that season. He reached the Top 5 yet he was consistently bad, only having a few good dishes. Not defending Joe, he's just as pretentious. Just saying that some of the cringe-inducing contestants at least get deserving nasty reviews.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035 Gordon Ramsay is on the same line as Marco Pierre White. Severe, strict, but willing to give advice in order for people to improve (if they have the right behavior and don't act all cocky and shit)
@@astrovisionbroadcastingunion Gordon does like to talk shit, but he usually and almost always does it in a jokey poking fun kind of way and doesn't really 100% meant what he said.
Remember the time when he said "do you miss your husband, well.. you might see him tonight" to a contestant who was not safe in the competition. Why tf would you attack someone's personal information in a competition.
He never gives feedback though, he just says disappointing, whenever contestants try to get creative he shuts them down, he thinks of food way too conservatively
@@basedneutral1173 Nothing I said is to the contrary, my point is that Joe doesn’t care about any of those factors. He’ll demean the contestant simply for the sake of it.
@@billqiu4692 Not really. He doesn't care more into creativity sh1t most of the times. If someone put so much detail over my food too, i wouldn't even enjoy eating it. Food is meant to be consumed and tasted, not for creativity or art. A normal steak is already beautiful naturally, don't need to ruin the fk of it.
@@basedneutral1173agreed. These judges clearly und that presentation is merely the surface level, though it does show what kind of chef they're dealing with.
So does that mean only criminals should judge other criminals in court? Only video game developers should review video games? Only top athletes at the Olympics should judge the other athletes? I can keep going but the point is you don’t have to have certain talents to judge the results of those talents. Most food critics aren’t even chefs.
@@nolanhewitt2563 Joe co owns 30 restaurants in four different countries. What exactly makes him unqualified to judge food? Again, most food critics are not chefs.
So he does not feel bad. Should of asked him about the time he was mean to Christine ha. Cause she is blind she is a liability in the kitchen. He is not a judge he is a jerk how he was not fired is still crazy to me
A judge I respect is someone like chef Michael from Masterchef Canada. He gives you the good points and other things that can improve the dish. His decisions are final, but he still wants the best out of those home cooks. If it's blatantly bad, he'll also tell you why instead of slamming it into the trash right away.
Yall are some weaklings. Tough love. Thats his way of showing someone that they need to imporve their dish. Honestly, without Joe, Master Chef would be soft and no real criticism. Except for Gordon of course.
People defend joe and say hes just "doing his job" no he isnt. he the amount of times he targets the food that he is supposed to "judge" is extremely lacking, and his ability to provide advice and give feedback, which is what judging entails, is similarly lacking, especially when comparing him to other judges on the show. Instead, he attacks the chefs themselves, being downright rude to many of them. You can be harsh as a judge, sure, but to be rude, discrimatory, and outright a bad person is simply unacceptable and, in his words, is "digusting".
OK that was a bad example of Cutter. He was actually asking an appropriate question and none of the judges actually gave him a non passive aggressive answer😂
"Those are three big mistakes. Finally, Bastianich explains he is not a chef, but that doesn't mean he can't throw down in the kitchen. In fact, he's confident he would beat both of his fellow judges, Gordon and Aarón, in a competition. “I could easily predict that I would win, even though I'm not a chef,” he reveals." Yeah he's beyond arrogant, he's downright delusional.
When he congratulated the lady on having the worst dish he ever had and she smiled and said thank you and gordon covered his face trying not to laugh is still one of the funniest things ive ever seen on that show 😂😂😂😂
I think the moment that cemented the fact that he doesnt know what he is talking about was the garlic bread incident where the other judges are just flabbergasted when he said garlic bread cheapens a traditional italian cuisine
@@YonkoBlackbeard lol no. The 1st restaurant he opened was not inherited from his parents. You probably just heard his parents were famous so you assume he just inherited everything 🤣🤣
Tearing down Tali was more than necessary and only Joe had the balls to call him out. Dude's delusional, proclaims himself a genius, takes no notes, no feedback and cooks subpar stuff.
I refuse to believe that’s actually how he’s like and that he’s not just playing his character right here. Until I meet a person in real life, I won’t make any real judgements on them as a person. I’ll judge his made up character, just not him.
@@user-sf9gs2pg1b Thank you sooooo much for your comment. No one in this Forum had met the REAL HIM, I suppose. These Reality Shows are not 100% real, afterall. The people involved were doing what they were told, most of the time.
So far Gordon Ramsay & Alvin Leung is my fav judges yes Alvin Leung throwing the food, but i really appreciate that he still taste the contestants dishes❤
He was a little bit sweeter and shared some guidance with only one contestant ever and that was Luca. Joe is actually very snobbish and does judge people by their personality than their food. I don't hate him though.
I disagree with most of the comments here; Joe knows food and he has eaten quite a lot around the world, and has been a restaurateur for a long time. He doesn't need to be a chef to judge food. If the food is bad, he pretty much calls it straight out and bluntly, yeah the tone and words are harsh but the contestants shouldn't take it personally. He doesn't attack a contestant unless this contestant is arrogant and went against the judges. Also, sometimes he does give certain warnings on how to avoid screwing up some parts or what to look out during a contestant's cook-off, and that's constructive.
Lmao no. 80% of his reviews are utterly unhelpful, and the majority of them are not only criticism, but completely unconstructive. Most of what he says amounts to "This is a terrible joke and you insult me" then he throws it away, sometimes before the other judges can even taste it. Joe does not know food, he isn't a chef, his palate and understanding of food as an art is equivalent to someone that just eats in fancy restaurants often and tries to analyze the food they make. Sometimes he'll literally throw food away before even tasting it. He doesn't need to be a chef to judge food, but he should be a chef to act like he understands what chefs do and like he has some intricate, complex, deep understanding of food as an art form and is capable of being a professional judge on a show with world-class chefs like Gordon Ramsay, this is just straight-up delusional tbh. Even on the rare occasions he gives constructive positivity (not criticism because that is pretty much never), it's usually just as basic as "the texture and flavor is nice good job". He also contradicts himself CONSTANTLY, flip-flopping on whether someone should play it safe or try to be creative, he can never make up his mind. Graham and Gordon are real qualified judges and give true advice. Graham is nice in what he does, Gordon is harsh but effective. They're mentors, good chefs, and people to respect in this medium. Joe is just the unbearable constantly angry and unimpressed boss everyone hates that rarely has anything good or nice to say and doesn't understand the people he's constantly judging or what they're doing. You can easily spot how absolutely, insanely hard Joe is trying to be the cool guy with high standards or some Gordon Ramsay type figure. He practically wants to own the show. He has a massive ego and it sometimes gives me second hand embarrassment seeing how much of a clown this dude is.
The whole point of food critics is dumb anyway. Critics without proper feedback in order for the chef to improve are just insulting, disrespectful, and meaningless. And this is what Joe embodies
@@Taureanfitness Well if you want to make that same defence for what he said about Christine needing to be not even in the kitchen because she's blind-
There's NOTHING WRONG about his comments. He makes his reviews for YOU, for all the Contestants who have a chance to meet him. Anyone who doesn't like these, just go back home. Perhaps they don't know WHAT they really want. 😅
Out of all the chefs I love Joe tbh yes he’s critical but one it’s a show, two he’s judging idiots who serve him raw pork, made him a disgusting pizza, like if I was given shit food and have to be dealing with 6 shit plates and 2 good I’d be irritated asf myself and not give a shit about hurting someone’s feelings after they insulted food
i like Joe a lot, to me he is honest, some of them need to be put in their places, so many have big egos and he's good at taking them down a notch, well done!
This guy isnt even a chef Hes a cook at best his career is managing 5 star restaurants not cooking in them He only got to the show probably because of his wealth or influence not because he knows what hes talking about
Extremely unlikeable chef even Gordon And Marco Aren’t as harsh as is him and they give compliments to the cooks food when its good and let them know when its bad even when a dish is good joe still has to find something wrong about it joe is just a bitter person and it shows
He's also on a SHOW. He has to spice things up to the absolute maximum. If he just said, "food's bad," then it wouldn't be half as entertaining. Personally for me, Joe's overreactions make the show even more enjoyable because of how over the top he gets.
What you mean Tali? He is one of the most arrogant contestants to ever join masterchef. He thinks he is better than Gordon Ramsay even though he's no good at all. Cutter is a better cook than he is.
He is an arrogant person, he should not be a judge. There’s too much negativity in this person’s bones. He is not a chef and has not graduated in a chef school therefore he has no experience what it is to be in a kitchen and cooking meals under time pressure. I want to challenge him to name the ingredients in a dish, let’s see if he can name them.
If you watch Masterchef Italy he's completely different. Harsh sometimes, especially in the first seasons, but overall definitely not as mean as americans perceived.
There’s a difference between criticising someone’s dish to help them improve vs criticising someone who’s tried their best and acting like their failure is some kind of moral wrong. He acts like he’s entitled to good food and anyone who doesn’t provide is disrespectful.
