I watched part of the Beverly Hills/chef program. Hmmm....

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

I was watching PBS and caught the America's Kitchen program.

The hosts were bbq-ingand were using a charcoal/Weber grill.

Just like Booby Flay?, the gal cooking put the lid of the BBQ on the FLOOR..I have BBQed while camping in the dirt, but I refuse to eat food that's covered with the lid of a BBQ that was just on the floor.....

The Beverly Hills program was kinda interesting, I now have it on "record series," just young professional chefs in various real situations. I do like that the segment with the "Foodies" not everything went as planned, and they had to cope with real situations, like the equipment not working, simple things like each thinking the other was responsible for something ...

Did it show whether she put the lid down upside down, maybe so the bottom of the lid didn't touch the floor?

LOL, me and my 'OCD' watched the lid go on the floor!

I watched the BH chefs most recent episode.

The chefs catered a party for an insufferable 17 year old punk, another event for some people who were really into wine and a dinner for a couple.

The 17 yo was a rude little twit. I wanted to punch him. The wine party was so over the top that I had to watch THAT and the couple's dinner party was VERY irritating.

The husband was a macho jerk with absoloutely no redeeming qualities, what so ever. He was a b@st@rd to his wife-he cut her down every step of the way. He complained about everything she did - the woman went into the kitchen and ended up helping the chef cook, so that was the all the ammo the hubby needed to make her look like a fool, and he never backed down, even when the chef went to the woman's defense.

I could really see all the belittlement turning into a steak knife to the forehead if the woman snapped later on in the marriage...but, this is a food thread?

Hell's kitchen begins tonight.

-------

It "grilling week" on TVFN.

I saw a Weber grill with the lid hanging on the hook on some commercial.

I was pleased.

I don't get the cooking channel. Which may be a godsend.

I spend way too much time talking to the cooks on TV.

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

Is is me, or are the contestants getting more and more full of themselves?
I have to laugh when I watch the interviews and these guys start to pump themselves up as passionate/training all their lives for this moment.

The disadvantage of not being able to taste or smell the food is huge, But I cannot take these people cooking a peanut butter, salmon and pineapple quiche and trying to sell me on it.

I think i just made myself sick.

Hell's kitchen is on tonight and after the game I should be ready for a cooking show!
