Not necessarily because you are going to watch her specifically or follow her very specific recipes/techniques. Even though maybe you should.
But I feel like she kicked off the whole genre. Which lead to the cooking channel and alton brown and epicurios and bon appetit… Despite their fall/break up during the pandemic…I still love seeing Claire do her own show. Sortedfood. Egg etc
You have to define culinary milestone. Like is it along the lines of actual chefs milestone, michelin stars, bocuse, the entirety of molecular gastronomy “fad” has to be it. Not the idea that a plate needs foams and spheres, but the food science part (used to be the realm of kraft, general mills, etc food giants) trickling down into restaurant kitchens changed a lot of things.
Now do you look at it like increasing home cooking / making it easier / more people in general cooking things, then Julia child is certainly a good choice, and you were on the right track with teflon, but missed fridge and dishwasher.
@ItalianScallion About a decade back, there was a guy wandering around one of the media cons doing a dead-perfect impersonation of “ShamWow Guy”, right down to the demos.
@mediocrebot It’s funny how the AI wants to make the Slap Chop dude more athletic. I guess I should said “spindly” or something.
Actually, it’s just a “user”, so it was not the slap chop dude per se. The AI probably made the “user” look like the slap chop dude because … slap chop dude.
I think the McDonald’s advent and the rise and fall of franchising has changed the culinary habits of a lot of Americans. The shear number of meals that are not eaten/cooked at home anymore seems to support that.
@chienfou IDK. I never eat out. The closest is pick up a pizza which is eaten at home.
I definitely don’t always cook for myself/frozen and put it in the oven is def a thing. But I never eat at a restaurant. Although. There is that diner up the road… If breakfast stops being coffee some day…
@cfg83@chienfou lol I would disagree I just think it’s not as common as stated. I’m definitely a type of outlier. But I think the seesaw of wanting to/being able to eat out. Vs not. Probably on my side.
If you count a frozen pizza/entre well now that’s not cooking at home really… But you’re still eating at home. Which is why that specific phrasing is a little fuzzy. And then you could go back to the microwave or freezer… But we did have freezers before microwaves or tv cooks…
I’d have to say that it’s the microwave oven, a device that truly transformed the way that many households prepare their meals.
@werehatrack That was my first thought too!
@ItalianScallion @werehatrack I should have thought of that, but I went with TV Dinners.
I kinda feel like julia childs.

I have no good answer.

Vince has me convinced it’s the Slap Chop.

@ItalianScallion Yes, ShamWow man is amazing …

@cfg83 Here’s the image you requested for “Slap chop user using shamwow as bandage for fingers.”

@chienfou @unksol You are truly blessed to have conquered the $iren $ong of eating out.
