curious if there's an ARF version of a website, but for cooking. I have a business idea I'm trying to research.

The ARF version of anything would be a large and very active traditional forum, and there aren't a lot of those left anywhere these days. On any topic. We're becoming kind of a blessed unicorn, in that sense (and we should be grateful for it).

The spiritual replacement for a cooking-specific forum that's still indexed by Google and the like (because it's not paywalled or hidden behind a required login), would probably be one of several large food-related subreddits on...Reddit.
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

@Subnet thanks for that. Are there any decent paywalled or login sites I should be looking at?

I can't think of any, off hand. Assuming you're looking for discussions, like what you'd find on a forum. Or assuming that it's like this site, where all/nearly all of the content is generated by users, rather than by employees of the site itself. I'm sure those still exists, but I can't think of any that still have the traffic that a site like this one does.

I would just start finding and reading food and cooking subreddits - that's probably going to have the most user-generated traffic/interactions/posts/replies for research purposes. There are probably a ton of lively and useful discussions happening in private Facebook groups and Discord servers (as a guess), but...I won't be aware of them.

Oh! One that does come to mind (but it's BBQ specific) are the forums over at amazingribs.com. Those are still pretty active, I think. IIRC, they limit the number of threads/pages you can read as a free user, but clearing cookies specific to their site would reset that counter. Or you could just pay for it.

There are quite a few YouTube channels about cooking.
