Life without food is a book without meaning. Human beings from ancient times have been overly fascinated by food. Besides being the basic building block of human sustenance and survival, food has been often seen as a powerful instrument that brings different cultures and people together.
In Mr. George Bernard Shaw’s words, “There is no sincerer love than the love of food”, which implies that we as human beings have an unsurmountable appetite for exotic cuisines, flavors, and textures, even more so than ourother primal andprimitive needs.
As our appetites and pallets assimilate different tastes,our senses start to trigger the pleasure centers of the brain. The sense of taste, smell, touch, and hearing are all important but what leaves a lasting impact on the brain is our ability to visualize food. This is one of the key reasons for the ever-growing charm and appeal of cooking shows, programs, and vlogs.
Wondering, how are YouTube food vlogs different from mass productions? Let’s take a look:
Unlike most celebrity chef-focused TV shows that explore complex cuisines in an affluent and larger-than-life manner, YouTube vlogs are a great way to explore the world of cooking in a more grounded and practical fashion. These vlogs are not only entertaining, well-executed, and thought-provoking but also provide practical ways to execute the dishes we all love at home.
To simplify it, there are essentially two types of channels available on YouTube. A great majority of food-focused channels belong to prominent vloggers that travel around the world to explore the different shades and nuances of different cultures and cuisines. The second category is home or celebrity chefs that produce authentic food vlogs that are primarily focused on encouraging viewers to take the initiative and try cooking the same culinary delight at home.

A pro tip: To make the most out of these channels and to enjoy exotic delicacies in all their colors, hues, and artistic shades, YouTube’s 4K/Ultra HD is the best option. For a buffer-free and reliable experience one would require an internet speed of at least 50Mbps. Rescuing us from this predicament, Xfinity Internet provides one of the highest download speeds of 6Gbps acrossthe USfor an uninterrupted exploration of food to the minutest details.
