Erwan Heussaff thoroughly discussed his side on the criticized Buttery Carbonara recipe video that he uploaded in his YouTube channel.

Italia Squisita channel gathered chefs Flavio di Maio, Luciano Monosilio, Marco Martini to watch different Carbonara recipes from different parts of the world. One of the videos that they examined was Erwan's Buttery Carbonara.

In Erwan's recent video, he discussed why the reputable chefs disliked his recipe. He said, “Today we will reflect on this and react to it. But first I want to say how the hell did they get three Italian chefs to agree to what a proper carbonara should be?”

He added that some people create their own recipes and he stressed that it was called a Buttery Carbonara so butter is really essential for the dish. Erwan further explained that he respects the Italian chefs but according to him, on the Internet, people will see things differently when some information is trimmed down.

He said, “I have a lot of respect for them but my problem is again with the Internet, if you cut some information and some crucial information, people tend to understand things differently.”

Erwan cited that adding butter doesn't mean it's how he demonstrates a traditional carbonara should be.

“If I was making a traditional carbonara recipe and they were criticizing me on my traditional carbonara recipe then they are a hundred percent right with what they're saying to me. But the fact is, I wasn't making a traditional carbonara recipe. I was making a buttery full of cholesterol, really heavy, really fatty carbonara recipe and it's in the title, buttery carbonara. I added butter to a carbonara. I didn't say Italians add butter to carbonara, the Internet is a very tiring place.”
