Target! My Favorite!
Okay, first of all, let me begin by saying that IF I had known that we would be 1) baking cookies for Sesame Street favs and 2)going on a shopping spree at Target..! I would have tried a little harder on Top Chef! I would have grown the food I was making to win! Are you KIDDING ME!? The one question I do have, is how did Cookie Monster know that Carla’s chocolate cookies were dry? I know that you know and we ALL know, there is a hand up Cookie Monster’s a$$. Did that person get to judge the cookie? …Read on…
Restaurant Wars
This week was a trip! I enjoyed every minute of this week’s episode. The Quickfire was my favorite to date! From what I understand, and from reading his book “Medium Raw”, that Bourdain himself helped create that Quickfire challenge. I think it shows a great deal of skill- because Le Bernardin is INCREDIBLE and because every chef should know how to filet fish with minimal waste. You can see the look of, “oh hell yeahs” on the chef’s faces. It’s also the look of, “of s+%@, they got me now!” The objective? …Read on…
Chicken Little- Feet
Happy New Year!!
Yep, it happened. I can’t really believe it. (Laughing) I don’t even have that many words. I expressed just about as many sentiments as I have on the closing of the show. I have never been eliminated before! My current emotions are as fresh as the moment Padma said my name. I think the best words I can give you are here…
I do not regret going on the show. – I loved every minute of it. I created dishes for the challenge and to be very honest, never really got behind any of them. Looking at the pictures on the television, it is like they are someone else’s dishes. It is even hard for me to remember what I put in them! All except for the chicken feet. Isn’t that crazy?? For some reason, I remember everything. Maybe it is because I play it in my mind from time to time. …Read on…
Dine Around Town
SAD, sad day. My buddy Dale went home. I know, I know… I know that he was not happy, nor were any of us, that he was the one going home. But, let me put all of this into perspective for everyone. We all felt that this season was a FUN one. And just to be clear, we all had a good time doing it. So, did Dale want to go to his lonely hotel room and cry? …Read on…
Top Chef Museum
Well, hell…the Museum of Natural Science and History…that was a fun one wasn’t it?? Let’s recap.
It is always a surprise whom we will see in the Top Chef kitchen. It could be a chef that has inspired us for many years, Martha Stewart or as it may seem these days, a celebrity fan of the show. Sadly, 75% of us did not know who the person was that we found standing with Padma in the kitchen on this day. Joe Jonas. Supposedly a teen pop idol, brother, singer, actor, and who knew.. …Read on…
