He's a fraud. Almost zero background in culinary anything, he's a
publisher first and formost. He picked cooking as the focus of his
publishing empire cuz it has the biggest audience. Yes, he has taken
some cooking courses, but has never worked as a chef, cook, prep
flunky, burger flipper, waiter, bus boy, or even dishwasher. They
don't call him Pompous Bowtie Man for nothing.

Bayless is an arrogant jerk in it for the $$$. Despite a deep
knowledge of Mex cuisine, he sees his customers and audience as
ignorant fools and talks down to them in an affected voice like they
all jes stepped off the short bus. Beware of buyng his instructional
materials cuz you may get burned. I was.
