I like the idea of giving the contestants three chances before they get tossed.

A little contestant salad. . .?

Dude,
LOL. You are lucky my mouth was empty.

Did anyone see the Top Chef Reunion?

[RICHARD]

Guy Fieri is a train wreck that I love to watch.

He did a Q&A in Playboy magazine....I'll have to read it again...he really didn't say much.


On his Diners and Dives program I caught a segment where he stopped in at a Mexican restaurant in Milwaukee (?)- It was in the Midwest and one of the signature dishes he tried was duck tacos.

GF and the owner made a batch. They showed how to make the marinade and then prepare the dish. I was kinda on board until they finished and the owner put pineapple and some other weird ingredient on the tortilla.

I DID DIG the fact that the tortilla were hand made with blue corn flour added
to them-but the add-ons to the duck made me gag a little.

Pineapple?

At the end of the segment GF begins to praise the owner for his Original Mex Tacos.....
I had to laugh because I don't think I have ever heard of a duck taco.

We kept them as pets, not as an entree.

People do use tortillas as a base for many kinds of tacos-If you can make a sandwich out of it, you can put it into a tortilla and call it a taco!




Anyway,

I love the way that the FN rewrites the menu and doesn't do fact checking or tries to pull a fast one on us all.

FN doesn't expect people like you to be watching, Richard.

They should hire you as a consultant.

The Iron Chef program with the White House chef was totally predictable. I watched a total of 3 minutes. Even Nigella Lawson and Jane Seymour could not get me to watch that dog.

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

I watched part of the new 'worst cook' program, it was good.

I love Ann Burrel-on one of the promos/commercials that ran? Sshe tells a gal that she has to pull her hair back while she cooks....

I dig Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! One of the diners Guy visited for his show was a local joint not far from here, on Route 66 (Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket) ... and I like that he is actually trying to keep some semblance of a family life while he is boppin all over the country in that red car.

I watched the "Next Food Network Star" marathon on New Year's Eve ... not as much fun now that I know the outcome ... I got the impression several times that Jeffrey perceived himself as the one to beat; and talked/performed like he was aware of that. I'm glad Melissa won!

This is a new series where 24 convicts are tasked to open an eatery in three weeks.

Premieres tonight.

Looks good!

Hey, Is R Ray packing on the lbs.?

I caught her on her other TV show and she looks "body healthy"!

Is anyone watching Worst Chef? I missed last night's episode!

I love that show.

[caseysmom]

I watched the first one, couldn't talk my hubby into switching to fn he was watching some shoot em up crud in the bedroom so I just fell asleep.

I am! Jenny asked Chef Anne if she had something against Jenny personally because she's been giving Jenny a harder time than the other recruits on the red team. Chef Beau didn't stop David from chopping garlic with the peel on - ick! The blue team did pan-roasted duck and the red team did pork - I printed the pork recipe so I can try it when I get all the ingredients. I won't be a spoiler but I was a tad surprised at the outcome.

I caught just the beginning of Bobby Flay doing a Throwdown of a beautiful cake - twelve really thin layers with icing in between each one - that he said was one of his all-time ever favorite desserts. I think it might have been a coconut icing. I will have to go on their Web site and see if I can find the recipe for it - it looked super delicious, muy delicioso!

I was a little surprised and disappointed by this week's outcome. I think Jenny's move from red to blue will work to her advantage. She is the recruit I am pulling for.

I'm also following "Chopped" -- but the one that was on last night (chicken wing appetizers and John the firefighter/chef) was so one-sided I couldn't get into it.

Richard, did you see it last night (1/24)? What did you think of the outcome? I didn't agree with the red team recruit who was eliminated, but I did with the blue.
