172: Learning to Cook in Front of the Entire Internet with Jamie Tracey

For anyone that grew up without a strong sense of connection to cooking or eating cultural foods, it can be daunting to get into the kitchen and make your own relationship with food. But for today's guest, Jamie Tracey, that lack of relationship was enough incentive to try an honest approach to building something that would last.

Jamie is a self-taught creator and Canadian cook that created Anti-Chef, a culinary experiment that plays out in real time on his YouTube series. It captures the good, bad, chaos, and triumph that comes with learning and loving to cook. With more than half a million subscribers, Anti-Chef follows Jamie as he dives headfirst into the hilarious, messy, and human side of trying something new. From Julia Child's most intimidating recipes to Michelin-level masterpieces and celebrity "cage matches," Jamie takes his audience along for the ride—mistakes, meltdowns, and all.

In today's conversation, Jamie discusses what food disconnects can look like, how he leveraged his film background and lack of cooking skills to create his heartfelt and entertaining YouTube series, the Canadian food culture and its impact on shaping how he thought about food and eating in the 90s, the process of self-taught cooking and its impact when you have an audience watching your highs and lows, and the lessons he's learned from cooking through Julia Child recipes for the show.
