I hear you, some of their stuff is a bit much. But, I think they are usually right. Might be a pain but the steps are usually worth it. Different tastes for sure but I like food, love to cook and enjoy learning about flavor combinations and new techniques.
To me its like bbq. Sure, you can boil ribs or cook them in the oven and they are still ribs. I like spending half a day with a rub, oak in the smoker.... Worth every minute to me.
