Had it with the Food Channel...

[RICHARD]

check it out! If you go back and watch the last ten minutes of the show, Tuschman gave it away. If you watch any other cooking show you would see the judges come down hard on any one that was a 'one dish cook'.

When Nipa walks out and comes back in he makes a statement like 'We are looking for cooks like you because we don't have anyone who cooks Indian."
I am paraphrasing because I don't remember exactly what he said and it was an obvious vote for her to stay. I think the FC is bending to become politically correct.

IF raw eggs had been served in Top Chef or Hell's Kitchen what to you think would have happened? I think that martial law would have been ordered. He would have been out on his wallet(I like to think Gordon Ramsey would have broken his eardrum too!). What's worse? A case of salmonella or a little chili on your meat?

I had to laugh when the woman judge got a piece of the rawness. DUDE, CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU ARE EATING?

I think Booby Flake DIDN'T like the guy they tossed out because HE is the sophisticated "food romantic" of the channel. He obviously doesn't get the food/romance connection that the guy was trying to project-hard to do when you are a narcissist!

With BF as the host and judge I think that the winner will be a woman.

Overall, I find that the challenge prep times are way too short. Who cooks in one half hour? Who cooks on a train? who wakes up at three in the morning to go shopping?

How can cooking like a maniac prepare you for having all day to do a 30 minute show? Other than Booby Flake cooking Iron Chef and ALWAYS WINNING with chipotle, mango salsa and honey, "to balance the dish", I just don't see it.


---------------

The TVFN contract that the winner gets is only good for 6 shows.

I guess they reserve the right to get rid of the duds-but keep people like Guy.

That dude is an effing slob. I tuned in to see who was on and saw him eating a sandwich/burger. The cook asked him if he was, "Going to save me a bite!".

GF took the sandwich, wiped it all over his face and then tried to hand it to the cook.

In another preview to his show he has this enormous sandwich in his hands, takes three bites of it a once and pulls it away from his pie hole. He's got all kinds of crap on his face.

Growing up we would have been slapped into the year 2050 if we were acting stupid like that. I guess you can play with food when you don't have to pay for it.


I am waiting for the appearance of RR and her stupidity on the show!

----------

I need to make a disclaimer. I am no superchef and I stir with the same spoon I taste with.....I am the only one who the meal is made for, so I reserve the right to be a slob in my opwn kitchen, I don't cook for the public!
And when I do I use the proper tools and manners!

I was kinda surprised at Tuschman's speech too. This is exactly what Amy Findlay did. Well.....almost. She proclaimed that she didn't want to be there anymore and won the contest. Is Nipa going to be the winner? Since when did they abandon the diverse cook idea? Why do these people keep contradicting themselves?

Booby Flake lol lol lol Great name for him!! Too much competition in the romantic fella. Not only did he tell him he didn't beleive in his style, he booted him out the door. Booby is a network pioneer almost. No way can anybody upstage him.

That raw egg thing was a total joke. What was the judge looking at when she plopped the slimy mess into her mouth? I saw a piece on her tongue and thought I was going to lose it. Gross!!!! I know everybody had to see it. Wouldn't a chef have some idea as to how long an egg should be cooked before serving it? Apparently not??

So far, I find the challenges pretty dumb but entertaining to see just how much they can mess up. 30 minutes for prep time is almost impossible. You're right. It's totally unrealistic to what the network needs. If the chefs don't entertain me for 30 minutes to an hour, I turn the channel. Amy Findlay had no appeal at all--no wonder she's gone. They have 30 people in the background preparing everything for them so why is this such a focus in the contest? Makes no sense.

Personality, knowledge, performing in front of a camera, are what it's going to take. Who knows if those dishes they prepare are even edible? They may look great but nobody can convince me that every single dish prepared on every single show is absolutely delicious. In my opinion, most of them are half cooked. Booby Flake is a master of raw chicken.

Guy Fieri: Holy Cow!! I could write a book on that guy. His cholesterol must be 435, triglycerides 1002. He eats like he has a garbage can behind his mouth. He is a slob and some of his handling techniques in the mom and pop restaurants is despicable. He actually cooks and serves food to people

Let's look forward to more stellar performances from some of the network's brightest stars. Can't wait!!!

O.K. TVFN junkies.....

I heard this from a cyberpal.

Robert Irvine's DInner Impossible is going to be cancelled.

A problem with his resume'!

Why? Apparently somewhere he had some kind of job doing Princess Di's wedding. The problem come up with her cake. My pal told me that he claimed to have baked it-but, he may have just been a sous chef on the job.


If you look at his creds for the opening segments one set of shows claim that he cooked for three presidents, then another set of shows claim four presidents.

-------

I was under the impression that he was a steady chef in the White House.
I guess cooking a meal or two, does qualify you to say you cooked for a president, but now I am really curious, I looked up some info and couldn't find anything about the cancellation.

I put in resume after his name and sure enough!

OUCH!!!!! -- That smarts !

Good detective work, Richard !! Isn't this a bit embarrassing for Chef Irvine? He'll be lucky to find another job in the field of cooking.
