There is definitely some quality control issues with Cento. I looked at an old can and although the interior has white lining, there are some areas where the lining chipped off and exposed the aluminum.

Trying to make things look and sound better than it actually is, ie: crispy buttermilk chicken sandwich with homemade aeoli and honey butter infusion drizzle.

This describes most hipster restaurants that sell you a $20 burger that comes out lukewarm served by a woman with really serious opinions about fascism.

If I had the space to install a large spice rack I would. I have drawers filled with spices and herbs and itโ€™s not optimal. Although having everything so spaced out like in your image would be annoying.
If the induction burner has a temp gauge then itโ€™s very useful for heat sensitive sauces.
Woks are useful for high heat quick cooking.
The copper pan I donโ€™t understand but you seem to have a problem with practical investments.

you're absolutely delusional if you think corn syrup-adulterated american dairy is anywhere comparable with irish dairy. ireland has probably the best beef and dairy products on the planet thanks to its mild climate and rainfall, so that cows spend their entire lives outdoors eating fresh grass and are almost never kept in barns or fed hay or corn feed

I suppose you could assume that. My storebrands are decently ripe, whereas your versions might not be so flavorful and ripe. Whole tomatoes for me are not the same species (plum tomatoes) though. A tryhard cook is a bad thing, though? Really?

People that waste money on Japanese knives like they're actually better than a pioneer woman set.
Pioneer woman makes the nicest shit. Their knives are great. The Walmart fillet knife is nice too if you just sharpen it.
Look at the markdown in pic related they're worthless to the point they can take that much off.
I bought a single cheap knife at Walmart, ground the edge completely off, and put a single bevel on it. Now I have a sashimi knife and it cost me like $4

the tomatos in this can are always hard around the stem and a little less than ripe. They have nowhere near the flavor of san marzanos. Don't they even cost more than something like Cento?

It doesn't take 2 hours to make a proper sauce, you should only be using canned tomatoes and abit of tomato paste not jar sauce

herbs and spices (other than black and red pepper) mostly don't belong red sauces. Mostly.

What the FUCK is a marinara sauce? Shit doesn't even exist in Italy
Amatriciana, Puttanesca, Bolognese, those are classics. None of which call for hErBs

I can't keep track of anything more than salt, pepper, and maybe cilantro. How the fuck to people remember the taste/flavor profile of 30 different spices?

they think American food is literally all just industrial runoff and artificially-flavored corn syrup and nothing else
remember, these are the "people" criticising (you) for being ignorant of the culture of their irrelevant turd world backwater whose only claim to fame is being conquered by a bigger neighboring empire

>probably in sauce but on a sandwich you would notice it isn't as strong as an onion.
A lot of people say this, but the total opposite is true. Shallots are more strongly-flavored and more pungent than onions. I somewhat agree that calling for shallots where cheaper onions would more than suffice is pretentious.

Italy is a fake nation. If you've been to one part of "Italy" you haven't been to "Italy" because "Italy" is just some nationalistic claptrap force-fed to people in public schools. There isn't one Italian cuisine or Italian culture or Italian people or Italian anything other than an Italian government that is currently trying to turn the whole peninsula into a smelly brown shithole.
