BATTLE HAM!

I'll get hammered for this, But I have to post it anyway.

I loved Iron Chef when it was the original......Fuke-San! I would run thru the GF's place trying to get her attention by yelling that!

This version runs me hot and cold. I like the 'secret ingredients" but find that the ICA chefs a little more conceited and the guest judges too flamboyant for me at times.

Last night I watched the HAM BATTLE-like who really is the loser?

The pig that died to be on TV, the chef that drops the challege or Alton Brown?

The judges were Mark Ekco, Ted Allen and some gal that I have seen before on the panel and I have to say that I was CAPTIVATED by her. LOL< let me run down my judging the judges?

Ecko looks like he smells, You'd think a 'fashion' maven would dress-or know how to dress himself appropriately. He wore a cap and t-shirt. I know he wore his own clothes from the line, but I was shocked that they didn't let him wear an overpriced T-shirt with his name/company on it.
I can do a really good Ted Allen imitation - so I'll pass on him. The woman, I know her initials are KB-I remember that from the chyron the had on the screen when AB spoke to her.

Anyway, I was obsessed with her cleavage. LOL, bear with me, it has to do with food, trust me! I was trying to figure out what her nationality/background is, She reminded me of a woman I worked with years ago. She was Iranian, was stunning and had ample 'assests' like the judge.
The dress the judge was wearing was low cut, It wasn't really trashy and you would have to be "special" to wear it and not look cheap.


Anyway, when they first introduced her I stopped and thought to myself, "WTF happens if she drops something on herself?"

Now, I know that probably is the last thing you may think about during a cooking show, but, I am a man, I like ham, women and..........I like food..

Now, being the idiot I am I stayed up until they fed the judges just on the off chance gravity came a' calling- I wanted to see her dig that morsel out.

Just a second?

God? Please forgive me for having impure thoughts during the Iron Chef Ham Battle. Mom always taught me not to play at the table or mess around with my food, or act stupid while eating but this woman's cleavage was really distracting! AMEN.

After a mega-second I realized that I would never get to see that, and if it happened it would go onto a blooper reel somewhere, so I went to bed
and never found out who won the Battle Ham and the Battle Gravity.

But, for some strange reason, I have a hankering for some ham at the moment........

I saw the Chef Jeff program where he took the kids to eat the seafood at the farmer's market.

That was funny and sad at the same time. To think that there are people out there who live in a state next to the ocean who have never tried shellfish.

We would go camping by the beach in Mexico growing up and my dad would go pick mussels off the rocks and cook them up......

It really makes me think about the people who think a Filet-o-Fish sandwich from Mickey D's is seafood!
