Had it with the Food Channel...

[RICHARD]

I was hoping that my cable sys would put NFNS on their On Demand part of the package. Nope. I'll have to watch the marathon when they run them again.

I was watching some TV when I came across a program in Japanese and thought I saw someone familiar.

This dude looked like the "Chairman" on the Iron Chef show. Didn't think anything about it until today.

I stopped on the Sci Fi channel for a second and there is an actor that looks like the Chairman on the IC show....

I checked the IC site and sure enough, it is him. I never knew he was an actor.....Seems like he has a pretty extensive Marital Arts background too!


Check out the tat this guy has!

That's really cool, Richard!! I had no idea he is an actor either. He is really cute and that tattoo is gorgeous!! I'll never look at him in the same way again. Look at that bod!!

I was reading/watching the blog and video blog from "Bob" and "Susie", the FN's judges on Next Food Network Star. Apparently they covered Debbie's face with makeup. That's at least what one of them said.

I don't know if you guys watched tonight, but I was certainly in agreement with the judge's decision. I'll be interested in your opinions. Don't want to be a spoiler.

I forgot!!!! I was watching the fights !


D&D,

I didn't know anything about him either until I checked it out.

In the opening of the old IC show he did some gymnastic moves that I thought were done by a stand-in, I was wrong!

I think that is why Alton Brown is never seen with him.....He is SCARED of getting his butt kicked!!

I also agree that the right person was sent home. She is a sweetheart but doesn't have much appeal on camera.

I think it's going to be a very hard decision to choose from the people that are left. All of them have something special. I hear about many people loving Debbie.

Richard, Now that I look at the Chairman, he really looks familiar. Alton Brown stays pretty quiet(acts intimidated) around everybody. He seems like a dynamic personality but I think it's a front.

Has anyone ever paid attention to this guy?

I like him beacuse I he makes me laugh.


There is nothing irritating about him.

He presents the food with none of the stories about stealing recipes, where he ate it, where he went to eat it.......He just gets into the cooking and is basically boring.

He does remind me of a university professor doing a cut and dry version of his class. You know the kind-I wrote the text, so pay attention!

He does cook some bizarre stuff. He just did a BBQed eggplant and some kind of Indian/cheese kabob!

Strange, but worth a look?

Aarrgh! I disagree with the decision, but that's just on the basis of what I saw this week. I also missed the first part of the challenge so I'll try to catch it Thursday night when it's on again.

Did anyone see "Iron Chef America" where the food item was bananas and plantains? Who won? I wanted the cameras to show more of them working with the plantains because I've read they are very nutritious. Alton Brown said you can use them like a starch.
