Kenji Lopez-Alt hates Uncle Roger?! I honestly didn’t expect to see Kenji Lopez-Alt and Uncle Roger ending up in the same fried rice discussion. So I wanted to sit down and look at what’s actually going on here. Uncle Roger’s style can definitely be a bit much for some people, but if there’s anyone I would’ve expected to clash with him it would’ve been Jamie Oliver… not Kenji, who’s also a chef and approaches cooking from a very technical perspective. Let’s break down where they agree, where they don’t, and what people might be misunderstanding.
Please keep the comments civil, and let's try to focus on the food!
