Had it with the Food Channel...

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!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

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?

I won't do a spoiler, but I sure will be interested in hearing what you guys thought about tonight's Next Food Network Star. I felt that the decision was tough and I was ok with who they sent home, but I sure had one that I would have rather seen leave. Perhaps that person, the whiner, will be next. LOL!!!

I thought it was about time for that person to go. There was one large obstacle that person couldn't seem to overcome - and it kept being mentioned again and again. Finally it got to the point where they couldn't avoid it.

I feel like Melissa has been kept week after week because she is so much like last season's Kelsey. Debbie has been kept because she offers a POV that the FN doesn't already have represented. The others I'm not sure about. Michael - they already have Guy Fieri; Jamika - they have the Neelys and Aaron; and jeffrey - he just rubs me the wrong way. He behaved badly with Jamika last week on Rachael Ray's show and this week I thought he failed to step up to the leadership role when he needed to.

NFNS?


Do not believe anything you see on the airwaves.

When the blonde came out and explained her "Pollo ala Plancha" I laughed.

Chicken on a plank? Go home stupid.

A short lesson?

A plancha is an iron, to use to iron clothes. to planchar is 'to iron' in espanol! Pollo ala plancha is grilled/griddled chicked. Women would take steel blocks-shaped like the irons you see today-and heat them on stoves in order to iron clothes.

The iron had a stand that was placed on the griddle to heat it up. The iron was placed on the stand, heated and used.

The griddle under the iron stand was used to cook chicken, hence the pollo a la plancha reference!


So forget everything you heard!


I have to hate on Booby Flay. This guy is a moron, the ultimate in cooks who 'think they are bigger than the rest'-I have to laugh about something else.



He made a comment about the Asian woman, something like, "I was hoping her Asian flavor would come through". So every one with an ethnic backgound has to produce something that reflects their skin color, features, background?

Again, I think that they are just looking for the next "Ethnic Food Star".

That said?

There is a definite slant to who they want to keep on the show.

The whiner stayed on, while the guy with the wild hair, tattoos and big mouth got booted.
Who needs two GFs?






I have to laugh at the way people translate a food/idea.

[Logan]

Did you hear that guy Michael during the party? He was driving me crazy, so loud and silly. I was glad to see him go. But, I wish Debbie had gotten the boot, too. She is sneaky and I don't see anything in her that would make me want to watch her on her own show. I guess they kept her because they liked her food.

[RICHARD]

The next food star will be Debbie.

TVFN is desperate to tap the 'Asian Flavor' market. It's only obvious.
They would have crucified anyone else for leaving out an ingredient and they
gave that gal a freebie.

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

BF had the nerve to critique the guy for cooking TexMex all the time?


Ancho chile powder, chipotle and mango salsa. What else is new?

That is one of the funniest things I heard all night.

I thought for sure Debbie would be out after that mistake! I never really thought about the Asian thing. You may be right. I really like Jamika although she has had her problems. Who would you choose?

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.
