Had it with the Food Channel...

Does anybody watch "Chopped"? I love that show for some reason. I didn't know it existed until about a week ago.

Richard, what do you know about the native dishes in El Salvador? My son travels there for his work.

I have seen parts of chopped, like the premise, don't like the judges.

El Sal food? NOt a whole heck of a lot-maybe just the black beans and plantains?

I tink PUPUSAS are from there?

I don't like the judges either but I like the concept. I totally agree with you.

I have some Pupusas here now that were brought from there. They're pretty good.

Hokay,

Did anyone watch the Iron Chef/Crab show last night?

I tuned in to see what they were cooking and saw a chef from the Top Chef Show as a sous chef to the challenger lady chef.....

I was laughing because I was trying to figure out if she was on Hell's Kitchen or Top Chef...I think it was TC...anyway, she made a dish that she showed to the woman who had challenged Booby Flay and was told to toss it-she burned it!

I started to look for her on the TC sites but gave up rather quickly-but I also found out that Marcel-the guy with the "Wolverine" haircut got busted for a DUI and was criticized for 'stealing' an egg dish from another famous chef...
Too funny.

I watched the show but I was flipping back and forth to the Oscars. I missed that part. I don't watch TC so I wouldn't have recognized her. Wasn't Booby Flake's challenger a chef/judge on Chopped? Maybe I'm wrong.
Do all blondes look alike??

LOL, some blondes do.


The gal's name is Ariane and she was a contestant on this season's TC.

Here's another thing I noticed watching TVFN the other day.

On one program they were using Kroger brand food stuff. They usually will print "new" labels for the canned and boxed stuff or tape over the brand names. That was a first time I noticed any program using a store brand of food.

I remember seeing a show about FN, on FN. They specifically said they find it humorous when people spend days looking for the brands they see on there. In fact, they make the labels themselves. I'll never forget hearing that. I have seen them use Hellman's mayo and a few other things.

Has anyone noticed lately.....they seem to be talking about canola oil in recipes and not just olive oil?
I know they don't use olive oil in some cases but I've seen at least three shows instructing to use canola rather than olive oil and that's in a dish that OO would have been great.
Aaron McCargo has used grapeseed oil several times. How much can that stuff cost???

I caught Aida M. the other day plating up chicken that was obviously raw and her assistant had to eat some from the same plate. I hope he got the cooked stuff.
