I just saw the winner of the TNFNS on a morning show.

One thing that has always bugged me about the program is the way that they make the contestants pump up the personality levels.

The Sandwich King/Dude/Kid make a Greek sandwich and fried plantains.

He rushed thru the recipes and sounded so frantic that I got lost a few minutes in.

During the segment he kept repeating some saying to the host about them tasting his food. "Get into it, get into it...." It sounded like he was begging them to eat his food!

The one thing that always gets me about the FN is the conflicting recipes/terms that they use. He misused a term in the recipe that made me laugh.

A 'tostone' is term used when frying plantains. It has to do with the how they are cut before frying. They are cut into circular pieces, fried, flattened and refried.

The term comes from the shape of the plantains, they look like coins. The plantains were cut into log shapes!


He probably didn't do the prep work on the food he cooked, but he didn't correct the error.

I'll probably give him a gander to see if he is more relaxed during his show.
