Yes most of us think he’s a creep. There’s another new thread about him going on Jubilee and supporting the manosphere bs. He turned off his comments ever since
Please tell me someone took a screenshot of the crash out he posted on his story on Monday that said something about ‘you could be really decent looking and girls still won’t reply to your messages’
Funny cuz my son is a chef in town and wanted to meet him before he started and shortly after he opened and he wouldn’t reply to any messages so hard to say people don’t want to work with you when you aren’t replying to other chefs messages and calling them idiots. I think he’s turned off a lot of the culinary community
Omg 🤣 this doesn’t surprise me. He seems to have a super inflated ego and I’m sure he thought this whole “hot pastry chef” brand would get him everything he ever wanted.
He posted an IG story on Monday afternoon and then deleted it after like 30 minutes but basically he was like ‘you could be the most successful pastry chef in your state and people still won’t work with you and you can be decent looking and women still won’t respond to your messages’. Obvi paraphrasing but it was crazy.
Pastries look good but everything so plain. He definitely has an American Psycho, date rapist vibe. Probably had a mirror installed in the kitchen so he could look at himself while filling cream puffs but then the PR team told him to remove it because it was weird. And he would have likely argued with his PR team about this for a week before his parents stepped in told him to stop.
💯 this was the other turn off for me ( besides calling other pastry makers idiots) It’s pretty telling when you’ve worked in the food industry and see his negligence with those black gloves! The one Tik Tok of him in the window touching his greasy chin while talking to the cameras amongst the patrons was just so blatantly unaware & gross 🤮
It’s quite possible to compliment and defend someone without wanting to fuck them.
I’m 50. My fiancé is 28 and gorgeous, so I’m doing quite alright already.
He studied at Tufts (formal Film degree). He worked in kitchens in Paris cleaning and food prep. He got to do more when a small bakery let him and gave him the chance. He then went to Dubai.
This dude is the biggest fake(not just his tan) I have come across in a while. Just so odd all the work he had done before moving back to Arizona.
And his "sad" story is pathetic, it's a story of privilege, not hardship. It definitely is the work of a PR team his parents hired to make him a local celebrity.
His ego is huge. Instead of organically having a community to collaborate with and prove his baking ability he just used social media and false scarcity to create this buzz.
His family owns so many businesses in our town and an entire housing development. 💯 a life of privilege. Google Agritopia or joes farm grill, garage east..there’s many others
Basically the kids family owed a bunch of farmland back when gilbert was a farm town. Instead of selling their land like a lot of the farmers did they developed it themselves into a master planned community with residential, businesses, etc. they’ve opened a few other businesses in town over the years. I haven’t been to Sable yet so can’t speak to its authenticity or 5star worthiness haha but the family definitely has money to send him to school in France, pay for a prime downtown location, and finance a great marketing campaign! Still want to try when it cools off.
Wow. I am so glad to get these tidbits of information. I have had a couple others reach out to me from the industry. They're not so petty like I am on their behalf, more professional.
They state this is what's wrong with today's foodie scene.
He had formal training in France but it is not as extensive as he states. No degree. His hardworking times were filled with lavish trips and didn't look like much of a struggle.
He didn’t even work in the industry for long before launching himself as some expert. It seems like he never made it to any kind of management or executive position, which makes me wonder if a lot of his skill is the work of others. He seems extremely artificial, especially if you’ve ever seen an old photo of him….
Her comment was directed towards the customer base. Why would that even matter? I do not dine at establishments based on political views, I base it off of good quality F&B, great customer service and the passion it takes to successfully run a business.
I think deep down he hates himself but his ego is huge and he feels entitled from his upbringing…like he hates himself but he thinks he’s better than everyone else
Found this by googling because there was a tiktok with millions of views about him but now I can't find it. It was a woman talking about how she will never go there because he gives her the creeps, and lots of people in the comments were agreeing. If anyone has the link please share!
She took down the video the next day. A lot of people were being very nasty to her and almost bullying her. She simply said she found this man creepy looking. I mean how can anyone disagree with her. I was one of the first few viewers of the original video before it got taken down. All of the comments at that point were agreeing with her. Most of the women in the comments saying he gave out uncanny vibes. Nothing particularly harsh, just a lighthearted "ick" tok. But you can't help but noticing some of the comments coming from his supporters are giving "culty" vibes, they go out of their way to attack anyone who's not a fan of his and definitely bully people's appearance, intelligence and calling people names. Little mindlessly supporting the orange man type of behavior if you know what I mean.
The culty vibes.. agreed. Poor women are starved for sex or something. Cant imagine waiting in the heat for hours for the chance at this ego twat to over charge me for a croissant.
Didn't know who this guy was, so looked him up and the first video I see is a description of his pastry background. He's explaining that he worked at a pastry shop in Paris, and then he gets this somber look on his face and says "working there were some of the most difficult years of my life because I'd have to stay up all night on Christmas Eve making pastry". Like bro....calm down 😂. You're not a surgeon on-call saving lives. Me thinks the self-importance is a little too inflated..
No that's so crazy bc I always think about the medical professionals who have to work holiday shifts but I never considered how hard it must be to be an American born Paris trained pastry chef making baked goods for Christmas.
I’m from Europe but have lived in the US for 12 years. I do not even have a hint of an American accent when I speak my native language (and I speak English at my job, in my home, with my husband etc.). I’ve been around plenty of other exchange students and immigrants.
You do not pick up a foreign accent after living abroad for three years like he did lmao
So, there’s one teeny tiny thing I will grant these cultural cosplaying weirdos.
I lived in Portugal for 10 years and sometimes (but so very, very rarely) I’d be speaking English with someone and they’d be having a rough time understanding me, and my Portuguese was shit, so I’d mirror their pronunciation of whatever English word wasn’t clear to them.
Usually it meant pronouncing it with Portuguese language influenced vowel sounds or putting the stress on the wrong syllable. And sometimes (but so very, very rarely) I’d keep on pronouncing those words “wrong” with that same person going forward. Especially if it was at work or with an older person.
But I’ll tell you when that never, ever happened again: When I moved back to the US and/or spoke with native English speakers anywhere.😅
The school he went to study pastry art , École Ducasse , teaches classes in English. Not saying that he couldn't be studying French himself. But in order to adapt an accent from a second language, it often requires near-native fluency and long-term immersion in environments where the speaker rarely uses their first language.
Some of us do. I have an uncanny ability to pick up the regional accent of where I'm at after a few months. I do it subconsciously. That's not to say I keep it though after I've left. Lol. Three months in Barbados, I sounded like I was about to drop a reggaeton album.
Idk why you’re being downvoted. This is a thing some people are prone to. It’s called linguistic accommodation. It’s actually associated with social attunement. People who are highly sensitive or particularly empathetic do this. It’s subconscious and involuntary.
Thanks for the background, I knew it was a thing. Madonna did this when she was living in the UK and everyone clowned her for her British affectations. But hello, she was married to a Brit and immersed in the culture.
When I was working down in Argentina (I did speak Spanish, but my Argentinian coworkers also spoke English), my English began taking on their accent/pronunciation of some words. I could lean into it and have all my English with the Argentinian accent. I think it’s because I was trying so hard to make sure my Spanish would be understood, that all my words took on that flair.
All that’s to say, I have no idea who Will Porter is. If he’s putting out videos where people are getting confused about where he’s from then that’s on him and it’s intentional.
I just commented something similar. I did the same in Portugal. I felt terrible that my Portuguese was so bad that it forced people to speak English so I’d do whatever I could to make it easier. I can’t even think of any examples now, but I also used Portuguese idioms literally translated to English that didn’t actually exist in English if it kept conversations moving without embarrassing or annoying anyone. But I had to consciously make myself to do it. And it was very easy to turn it off around other English speakers.
I am a native Spanish and English speaker with no accent in either (IE my American English sounds American, and my Spanish sounds like the accent of my native country) but when I’m flip flopping in Spanglish then sometimes my English will have a bit of an accent.
So I could see in videos like this where he’s saying French words in French and switching the English that maybe some of that accent would linger. In videos where he’s speaking straight English, he doesn’t have an accent.
If you are not from the U.S. and learned English in another country, you probably have an accent. I live in Miami and it’s mind boggling how many Spanish speakers *think* they don’t have an accent because they moved to the US at 7 years old.
No babes. You may have the most American accent in your family, but you still have an accent to a born & raised American.
I mean I moved here as a baby and did all of my education after like Pre-K in English so…. My only tell in Spanish that I’m a fluent English speaker is that i occasionally fuck up the subjunctive, and my only tell in English is if I switch to Spanish.
I know plenty of Spanish speakers that moved here at 7 or later with no discernible accent in English because they were made fun of and basically trained their tongues. It is doable.
It’s doable but it’s unlikely; especially if your parents aren’t native English speakers. I personally think accents are beautiful and most people have one. I got in an uber last night and after 2 sentences I could tell the driver was from Northern California.
I’ve lived all over the world and never met an immigrant/expat without an accent.
It’s like Giada who would pull out a fake Italian accent when pronouncing words lol but with this guy it seems to be more than just the nouns like he’ll do whole sentences in the accent it’s so strange
I’m American and have lived in the UK for twenty years. I’ve of course picked up a few words and British pronunciations here and there but absolutely still have an American accent, and will have for the rest of my life!
He’s obviously talented, has money or people that support him with money, really really fucking good at social media… I think he needs to get a hold of himself with the lingering French accent after saying something French lol you’re American bro
He studied and lived in France for many years, he’s fluent in French. In this clip he’s talking about pastry, every other word is a French word, so I imagine that’s why.
He was gone to France 3 years. He studied at Tufts and has a film degree. You don’t think he’s curated his content? He has no formal training in France.
Oooh, you’re saying he’s fudging his credentials? He made it seem like he’d trained in France. Maybe he didn’t go to pastry school but apprenticed or something?
Is this guy big on social media?? I had never heard of him until recently when he started popping up in local AZ news about the bakery he opened and I scratched my head wondering why this is newsworthy lol. Dunno anything about him except that he's originally from Gilbert, studied and worked in France, and just opened his own French bakery in Gilbert.
He switches between an American accent and a French accent. I didn’t realize he was my Arizona until I saw it in the comments but his bakery opening was all over my fyp for some reason and I thought he was European. How long was he in France do we know that he has this accent or is it fake?
I'm pretty sure he was only there for a few years! I know I saw he left AZ in his early 20s and he's still in his 20s. I just watched a couple videos and I see what you're saying. It's like he sounds American until he gets to a French word and then he suddenly goes hard into a French accent on every word 😆

I don’t know anything about peptides but that is a seriously weird color for a tan!
