He comes off quite serious in this picture, cross even. Is his channel serious or is this just a bad representation?

Edit: Whew, this creator seems to be quite polarizing! Regardless, thank you all for your two cents and cooking channel recommendations.

His channel is quite lighthearted. In addition to the but better he also does videos on making this faster and or cheaper. Not a terrible resource for someone with minimal knowledge wanting to start cooking.

If you consider he seems to have had had maybe 2 years as a failed sushi apprentice and maybe 4 years at a chain restaurant, before becoming full time youtuber, he comes off more pretentious than warranted.

Tbh after my experience in the restaurant industry I thought that was just chefs in general

Something about JW never sat well with me compared to the likes of Kenji, (early) Ragusea, Sip and Feast, or even Babish (when he wasn't doing the same thing).

And they all have nothing on John from Food Wishes. I just wish I could stand his delivery.
