Everyone in the comments: Amiel wears the same outfit in every episode

Amiel: Hold my cow costume

[singerofsongss]

I’m convinced that they’re just letting Amiel do whatever he wants

[gaysara]

WHO DECIDED THE THUMBNAIL I JUST WANT TO TALK

[ArielMCarlos]

Amiel moving his hands like an NPC in an RPG who's talking and you aren't hitting X so you can read the next line

[dannybrownlvr]

The thumbnail kind of looks like a peta advertisement that you’d see on a billboard while driving to Ikea.

[trandat]

lmao, who ever thought of the idea of using the dude instead of a drawing or diagram, u earned my respect hahahha

[jankbunky]

Amiel Stanek is an anagram of: steak animel.

[adarshsirsat]

Amiel looking like A Meal in the thumbnail

[gab.lab.martins]

That's the least wagyu-y wagyu I've ever seen.

[richmk]

Gotta respect Amiel's commitment to the fake chewing sounds

[calebchristensen]

I’d like to see a non traditional meat episode, ostrich, elk, venison, wild boar, game meat. Geoduck, etc.

[fyx]

I just wonder where all the steak goes after filming. Are the staff like “oooo it’s steak day can’t wait!” Or “steak again? I can’t eat more red meat after the 43 ways to cook a steak”?

[feronanthus]

I guess Amiel does have a second outfit.

[nativechatter]

This is just Amiel saying "wow" for 23 minutes... and I like it

[izzy]

That thumbnail is chef kiss worthy. 10/10.

[kadeker]

I love the fact that they could have just used a stock image of a cow for the diagram, but instead they bought a cow costume and had a photoshoot.

[RM-kshz]

Everyone just watching in peace: ...
Amiel: “woowowowowowoowowowowow”

[andrewparesa]

cant get over the fact that hes making a voiceover and pretending to eat

[danielmcmahon]

People when they see brahman:so cool

Me when I see brahman:where is the other head?
