I actually really appreciate that Ethan goes by a single shopping list rather than doing what most channels do and dividing the price into individual amounts of an ingredient. Like sure: I might use half an onion for a recipe, but I’m still paying for the whole onion. I don’t have a big freezer so saving ingredients, especially things like chicken thighs, is tricky, so knowing how much I’m gonna have to spend with basically nothing already in, or without dividing down the recipe cost, is really helpful.
One of my negative critiques for most youtube cooking videos is their lack of scalability. I have a large family, and most fast or cheap cooking hacks just don't scale well to meals for 6 or 8 people. Just the fact that searing meat without crowding a pan takes 3x longer, even when making something simple like stew is often overlooked. This video does a better job than most, your shopping list is easily scalable to making more burritos. I don't expect every recipe to be tailored to my specific circumstances, but I appreciate when I see something I can actually use.
