Top 10 YouTube Alternative Cooking Channels – TopX Ep.14


hello and welcome to top X where we camp
down the very best that YouTube has to
offer today we’re getting crazy in the
kitchen and counting down our picks for
the top 10 alternative cooking and food
channels on YouTube
you
for this countdown we’re taking a look
at those channels that deal with food
and cooking but that have a special
something that makes them different from
traditional cooking shows if your
favorite cooking or food channel didn’t
make the list be sure to check back in a
few weeks when we count down the top ten
traditional cooking and food channels as
usual we rank our picks based on a mix
of subscriber numbers use votes from our
users personal preference and of course
general impact on the YouTube community
number 10
regular ordinary swedish meal time
clearly inspired by Epic Meal Time the
guys at regular ordinary swedish meal
time saw that there were a lot of
alternative cooking channels out there
but there was clearly a lack of punching
and yelling at their ingredients
basically these guys prepare their food
in the most violent ways possible while
some channels go for excessive portions
or obscene combinations these Swedes
prepare traditional Swedish food with
insane levels of aggression aside from
the food punching which would honestly
be enough to sell this channel for me
they do all their videos in swinglish
which is a mishmash of swedish and
english there are subtitles so don’t
worry about following but seeing is they
pretty much yell all their lines the
overall effect is that you’re watching
the cooking show hosted by some sort of
crazy biking but better free prizes
sausage number 9 pop sugar food those of
you that are worrying that you won’t get
any actual good recipes out of this
countdown never fear coming up next is
pop sugar food which is a pretty sweet
channel pun fully intended take a look
at these doughnut chips they’re crispy
the sugar has caramelized got a dip some
in some whipped cream
mmm do you hear that crunch so good
while pop sugar does feature relatively
traditional cooking tutorials by ways of
style and presentation
it’s the kinds of things that they
prepare that pushes them into the realm
of alternative cooking nacho cheese
Dorito hybrid it’s cheese that’s fried
in Doritos it’s so good so next to
traditional things like red velvet
cupcakes or bloomin onions they feature
all sorts of crazy edibles mac and
cheese stuffed Doritos donut chips ramen
burgers pop sugar is the place to go if
you want recipes for stuff that’s both
weird and fun but also fully edible look
at that you got the arugula sriracha a
fried egg American cheese Oh number
eight and he made in Japan anyone who’s
ever been on vacation in a foreign
country will tell you that every country
has their own weird candies and junk
food Emmy the host of Emmy made in Japan
uses this as her core concept greetings
lovelies hi it’s and we welcome back to
another Emmy eats weird stuff today I’m
going to be eating bugs yay on her most
popular show Emmy eats she gets care
packages loaded with junk food from
around the world from her fans and she
eats them you name the country
she’s probably tried the local snacks it
smells very pizza like very tomatoey
let’s get bad taste hmm her second show
what you eatin is almost the same thing
except it focuses on stuff that you have
to prepare now apparently in Japan
there’s a large market for candy or
snacks that you actually have to prepare
yourself it sounds weird and most of it
looks disgusting but she seems to enjoy
it
it’s definitely a cricket doesn’t I’m
much of a smell let’s give it a taste
here we go hmm number seven barbecue pit
boys okay enough candy time for the
manly man stuff meat fire good coming in
at number seven are the barbecue pit
boys as their pre video warning reads
their channel is not recommended for
veg-o-matic s– and the food police
whoever there we’re gonna pull them off
the grill now
and we want them to cool a bit so they
stiffen up because we’re not finished
with these bacon onion rings yet what’s
kind of funny about these good old boys
is when it comes to actually explaining
the recipe the actual cooking part there
is clear common concise as you’d want
from any high-end cooking show drop it
in some oil
we’re using some corn oil here we’ve got
the temp about 380 degrees Fahrenheit
they land here on the alternative list
because they only cook outside cook
really unconventional things and they
sort of look like the guys from duck
dynasty but that’s clearly part of the
charm just to give you a few examples
they do grilled alligator bacon onion
rings and venison chili basically
whether you bought it or shot it if it
was once alive they’ll help you grill it
number six
munchies so as you know we’re counting
down alternative food channels and for
years you may also know that Vice is
positioned itself as an alternative
culture brand so it makes sense that
their food channel would end up on this
list they’re gonna make some guacamole
make some steaks of Athena in this
oh man
taking dad’s all over the place that
said munchies is the closest thing we’ve
seen so far to a real-life TV show
actually TV show is a bit reductive as
their channel is much more like a TV
channel with a bunch of different shows
that show different things so let’s
build it up stuff Tommy’s mutual funds
Bhima shouldn’t give up I’m missing him
shop us know – Oh Bo nice crab perfect
hoagie anyone familiar with Lices other
video content should have a pretty good
idea about what to expect on munchies
most of their content focuses on going
to new and strange places and gaining
access to counterculture experiences and
dishes that are outside the realm of
normalcy food is a great like gateway
into any phone
who says you have to be Chinese to make
Chinese food who says you have to be
Italian make Italian food
number five cooking with dog
sure there are probably tons of other
channels out there that teach you how to
make traditional Japanese dishes but how
many of those are narrated by a dog
check me coming at number five is
cooking with dog
if you want to get technical francis the
poodle is technically the host of the
show although he gets help from a
mysterious japanese chef add the rice
vinegar to the ice water
the vinegar has a sterilizing effect and
wetting your hands will help keep the
rice from sticking to them although
Francis has a charming Japanese accent
that definitely lends to the appeal of
the show there are subtitles provided
for those of you that worried about
following law konichiwa yakushina ha ha
ha
in sukoon yogurts good tequila Tamaki
says yachts grimace let’s get the
ingredients for Maki sushi obvious
gimmicks aside if you remove the poodle
cooking with dog is actually a pretty
comprehensive cooking show especially if
you like Japanese cuisine don’t pack be
a bento box ante with the ingredients
become cool otherwise the bento can
easily go bad because of moisture from
the steamed number 4 sorted food at
first glance you’d be forgiven if you
thought that sorted food was just your
general run-of-the-mill Cooking Channel
they do make pretty things but aside
from I focus on cooking stuff in mugs
there’s nothing really special about the
things they’re making that separates
them from the pack
instead sorted food stands out by being
the most you to be channel we’ve seen so
far that is to say they take the food
angle and apply it to a lot of trends
you’ll see on other popular YouTube
channels they do challenges they have
collaborations with other YouTube
celebrities and participate in
community-wide events there we go our
mac and cheese in a mug matrix smells
incredible bacon garlic parsley amazing
cheesiness let it cool down a little bit
and then you sit from the TV Kentucky
sorted although the channel is hosted by
four friends only one of them is
actually a chef now this is where a lot
of the appeal comes from as you’ll see
that the chef is often explaining the
recipe not just to you the viewer but
also to his friends so a lot of the fun
comes from the banter between the
buddies it’s what I found I saw you bet
are you a chef / of it okay when all the
vegetarians are gonna hate on it number
three my heart Oh
aka my drunk kitchen though she does a
number of different types of videos on
her channel it’s hannah harto Hearts
number one segment the Lancer on this
list my drunk kitchen this is a wine
that I found in my sister’s kitchen
which is free if you’re a terribly
unimaginative and you haven’t figured it
out yet arto gets drunk on my drunk
kitchen and then cooks now these videos
are clearly much more about the journey
than they are about the destination as
in you probably not want to eat the food
after but damned if it doesn’t look like
they’re having fun while they’re making
it
drumroll please this is a trifecta
myharto is another channel that’s deeply
ingrained in the YouTube style she does
collaborations with other youtubers like
jenna Marbles and Tyler Oakley she does
vlogs and tutorials and she updates
really frequently but what’s even more
impressive is that she also has a fair
amount of real world celebrities on her
show as well like Sarah Silverman or
even celebrity chef Jamie Oliver Jamie
where you from I guess after that gym
that was an array go oh no Steve thanks
dude
Cheers number two Epic Meal Time I’m
sure you saw this one coming hailing
from watch Mojo’s epic hometown of
Montreal Canada is Epic Meal Time our
number two pick show uh health salad
definitely in the don’t try this at home
category Epic Meal Time sets out to and
I quote make your wildest dreams come
true and then eat them of course they
hardly ever really eat them themselves
they usually get pretty girls to do it
basically the objective of epicMealTime
is to create insanely large and obscene
creation out of food lasagna made of
fast-food burgers a84 egg sandwich a
meat salad anything that would give you
a heart attack is essentially fair game
today we’re taking a bacon cheeseburger
pudding inside a bacon cheeseburger
inside a bacon cheeseburger inside a
bacon cheeseburger let me break it down
for you how we do that
epic filled time is also equally well
known for a few of their trademarks epic
music bird sounds to cover up expletives
and of course tons of bacon more
bacon strips custom style before we get
to our number one pick here are a few
honorable mentions number one Rosanna
pansino aka nerdy nummies topping off
our list is the adorable Rosanna pansino
host of the delightful nerdy nummies I
got a lot of requests for more Rice
Krispies recipes so today I’m gonna be
making chocolate rice krispies and
peanut butter rice krispies like most of
the channels on this list nerdy nummies
is based around a pretty simple concept
desserts with a nerd culture theme super
mario star cake lime Kraft rice krispie
treats even Diablo 3 skittle vodka
potions we have the demon hunters hatred
and discipline we have the witch doctors
mana the monk spirit the barbarians fury
and the Wizards arcane power one thing
that gets you big points here on top x
is impact on the YouTube community and
Rosanna scores big points in that
category basically she updates very
frequently she collaborates with other
youtubers and she doesn’t sacrifice
polish more production value in doing so
today we are gonna be baking a retro
cake we’re gonna be baking a cake based
on the PC game
it’s very old it’s called chips
challenge when you add in the fact that
she combines this professional style
with a clever gimmick clear instructions
and seemingly endless charm she makes an
easy choice for number one here are the
Bomberman cupcakes that we made today
they look amazing well some of them do
some more amazing than others on this I
knew that’s it for our countdown right
