    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.

    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.

    The next ethnic food star is exactly what I was thinking. I remember Debbie messing something up on the first show and they've let her stay, singing her praises most of the time. How many more snafus is she going to be allowed? Hmmmm........

    Michael was driving me crazy last night too. "Who loves you?"--over and over and over. I was thinking how many times he must have done that altogether. Those guests must have thought he was so annoying. I really thought he might stay and Debbie would go for about a minute. They need Debbie~~

    BF said he was hoping for some of her Korean flavors but didn't he just say last week that she mentioned the Korean thing too much?? I can't keep up with these people.

    Melissa and her Spanish food::::OMG!! Since when does she have this strong Spanish background? She lived in a Spanish speaking house? Maybe she's going to win and they needed another twist for her to look good? Bob T. seems to be nuts over her so maybe she will win.

    Richard, I didn't understand anything she was saying, she was talking so fast. You've got a good ear to hear her words. It's comical to hear what you said about her.

    Every time I see this show, I wonder how long it takes them to orchestrate the entire thing.


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!
