The Chairman(Mark) was eliminated tonight. I was really bummed out. He was incredible. A born dancer. He has six pack abs and seems to be in great shape. What I liked the most was the fact that he was so gracious through the whole time he was on the show. I'm going to miss him.

Richard:: I love dried basil more than any other herb. Maybe rosemary equally. I use it in everything.
What is making the bread sweet? Is the pizza dough naturally sweet? Could you get some pizza dough from a local pizza restaurant that would be more savory?

Elyse, I hope you love Fresh Market. It is such a cool store. I went to the one in Asheville, NC. It's awesome. I love everything about it. Let us know how you like it.

I saw the episode with pheasant. That chef was such a nice man. I was sure he had won. The judges seemed to love his food and not like Morimoto's so much.

I'm not loving The Next Iron Chef this year. It seems too serious. Last time, we seemed to have some humor. I'm not seeing any sense of humor from anybody this time.

Did anybody watch Chopped tonight? The black man(Malik) was pretty argumentative. I'm surprised we haven't seen that before.

I think it was Alton Brown that said, "Chefs never get a break". Maybe I heard that on Top Chef. Whichever one it was, does anybody want a sick person preparing their food? I vote for letting them sit it out and get well.

I'm having a big problem with these cooking shows where the chefs are dripping with sweat. Some of them excessively sweaty. I can almost see the sweat dripping into the food.
