RR is something else. I can't watch her without almost pulling my hair out. I seriously have to turn the channel. She's so hyper, it wears me out.

Did you see the reference she made one day to cooking something and burning it? Her dog, Izaboo, got scared when the smoke alarm came on. Now Izzy gets scared every time she starts to cook so she goes and hides in the house somewhere. RR made kind of a joke about it. She said she needs to work with Izzy and get her out of this worry mode. I found it completely unamusing but she was nervously chuckling through the story.

Anywho......now I've hear her laugh and joke many times since then about burning things and setting the smoke alarm off all the time at her house. All I can do is think of the poor dog.

I've also noticed alot of double dipping going on the FN lately. With food and with utensils. I've always wondered who is going to eat that food after the show goes off.


I watched the Booby Flake grill show this morning. I caught him last night on the South Beach special. With Booby, it's all about competition. He's so worried about someone outdoing him. It's almost an illness with him. Get over yourself Booby!!

Two guys on the grill show this morning used almonds in their pesto sauce. Booby told them he's going to steal the idea. What a shock!!

Secrets Of A Restaurant Chef--Holy Cow!! She keeps slapping the meat when she gets ready to cook it, throwing spices across the room, saying things that are really off the wall, and treating salt like it's a sacred object. A piece of work she is!!

Tonight we're in Vegas. I hope those guys can show some potential somewhere. I suppose the public will vote like last time. This year, I'll vote the opposite of what I really want and maybe my pick will win. Now I just have to pick somebody

Did anybody catch Emeril live the other day when he had Chef Jacques on there? I can almost swear that Chef J was adding eggs to a hot souffle mixture and you could clearly see the eggs scrambled in the bowl. I know they go to lengths to temper the eggs, but, in this case, he didn't. I never did see that souffle go to the oven either.
Chef Jacques drank alot of alcohol during the one hour segment and he possibly forgot to temper them.
