Grandpa kitchen on Youtube is AWESOME

I know that most people identify FMB! with the Food threads but when he first joined, he was super passionate about film, especially old Hollywood films and their stars.

There are a ton of homes in my neighborhood that were once owned by "Old Hollywood" movie stars and I'd send links and pictures of the homes that were up for sale over the years for him to check out.

It always seemed to make him really happy...

While it might be a downer for some, celebrating someone's life and the good things we remember about them on some anonymous internet board is a pretty remarkable thing when you really get right down into it. I think 99.5% of everyone here really likes each other regardless of our creed, race, color, or religion, standing in life or other differences,

I like to be reminded about people like Lonewolf Ed who shared his brave battle with cancer with all of us and never lost his sense of humor. Now we have FMB with his Beetus Battle and Food threads.

Just a thought......:shrug:

This is a great idea.

Yes. I remember he was a movie critic

Oh my goodness. RIP, FMB.

This is just so tragic.

I think the thread title is a little deceiving and a single thread probably wouldn't work. I wouldn't never expect someone to keep updating it, too much work.

A subsection and then a single thread for each member who passed would probably be easy. :hmmm:

Crikey! He seemed way too young for a heart attack. What an awful unexpected reason for him to die.

New World Order 03-06-2020 01:38 PM
41. Wow, that’s terrible.

Prayers to his fam

Miles 03-07-2020 12:13 AM
Bit random but I’d just remembered I have a Japanese Shun chefs knife specifically due to his recommendation and changed everything about how I thought of knives in the kitchen. Imagine many were similarly influenced from his love of cooking like other examples brought up earlier in this thread.

Definitely. Most of the cooking techniques I learned from this place and mostly him.

Also changed my tune on pirating because of him. That’s really the only time I saw him ever unload both barrels was over copyright infringement.

eDave 03-07-2020 04:40 AM
I'm admittedly bad at responding to CP members RIPs. This guy was great. This guy was pretty neutral about all things. This guy left memories for many, ensuring he will live on for a long time. RIP dude. Hope to see you soon.

Sorce 03-07-2020 08:14 AM
I decided to buy a rec tec because of his feedback. I post a lot in the food threads which he was a huge part of. He will be missed.

He had so much medical shit going on. Lord knows what kinds and how many medications he was dealing with. His body might have just given out.

Still miss his posts. Can't imagine he wasn't as good of a dude IRL as he was on here.

I would have never spent a hundred dollars on a kitchen knife before reading his posts, but did on a Global.

Also, I use his recommendation for falling asleep more nights than I don't by counting backwards from 100 by threes. He said he would usually be out by the time he got to the 60s. Not sure what thread it was in.

I also remember him passionately standing up for artists rights against pirating their music/video.

We had some good discussion on wine and he liked one of my recommendations.

Tim was good people. The Cast Iron Jedi will be missed. Good thing he left us some tricks and recipes that have been spot on. RIP

Absolutely. I know more than one thing I learned from him that I'll use the rest of my life and teach my son as well.

Bugeater 03-07-2020 02:15 PM
It was his worship of cast iron that influenced us to try it for steaks when the weather wasn't conducive to grilling. The Mrs went out and bought a pan, followed his advice for seasoning and the technique for cooking them. I was flat out amazed at the results. They were so damn good I'm not sure why I even bother grilling them at all anymore. And from here on out, I'll probably think about him every time i see that pan. Dude knew his shit.

I don’t catch every thread, and am not familiar with the guy, but just reading thru this one restores balance to the universe. Guy sounds like a righteous dude. Good to see CP come together.

Fmb could describe cooking a dog turd and make my mouth water

2 things he taught me that changed my cooking.

1. Cast iron is king. Steaks, burgers, pork chops, chicken. It’s all way better on the cast iron. Amazingly different. Even bought another cast iron to allow for making smashed burger patties with that crispy crust. That was all him.

2. I’ll never cook a steak or pork chops unless I have 24 hours for it to sit salted and peppered in the fridge. That’s creates an amazing seal and much juicier cuts when eaten. That was a game changer when he discussed that technique.

There was a time when you and I joked about road tripping so he could feed us. I wish we would have done it.

KCUnited 03-09-2020 05:46 AM
The guy honestly should've been receiving kickbacks from all the products he recommended over the years. I'm on my 2nd Thermapen from a link he posted and I usually gift one over the holidays each year as well.

MahiMike 03-09-2020 09:48 AM
41 wow. Way way too young. Glad he got to see Mahomes magic. RIP.

Learned a few things about cooking with cast iron. He was a good guy.

R.I.P. Mr. FMB.

Waaaayy too young. He was younger than 4 of my 5 sons.

Can someone link one of those? I just started doing the burger cast iron and it's awesome.

Hope he was at peace and may those who loved him find solace in their memories of him.

Pasta Little Brioni 03-10-2020 08:05 AM
I.still remember when he changed to Fried Meat Ball! for awhile as did Big Meatball Dave. Now both are gone....so much sad

FMB is one of a few I would call a friend on CP. He gave me crap about cooking with package gravy and this and that but I really didn't care, a lot of it was good natured fun. I'm gonna miss that guy, RIP bud, see you on the other side.

jerryaldini 03-11-2020 11:09 PM

I didn't interact with him much, but he's the one that got me into Sous Vide.
