I liked Jackson but his teammates on Restaurant Wars brought up a good point - why was he tasting his teammates dishes and giving nods or advice if he couldn’t taste?
What’s a good combo for hard apple cider? Watermelon? Cantaloupe? Honeydew melon?
I am curious, since the concept itself isn’t like food network star was, mainly they are not trying to be media stars, did they not have predatory contracts like you see with American Idol? For those not aware, at least during Cowell’s tenure, his company basically owned everyone that made it past an early point so… Read more
I think Top Chef has just gotten better over the years. I love that they no longer cast or assign someone to be the villian. They all seem like genuinely awesome people and chefs.

Aww, Tofu is so cute!

Hope those who need to see the other side, do so—there is a snarky bunch who dismiss the work as menial and unskilled but every job has skill involved, especially if you do it well. Watching a well tuned waitstaff is like watching a dance; everyone has their… Read more
Troff “n” Brew was a great one but I can’t find a video! Read more
It’s comedy sketches about food, which isn’t out of character for this site that I’ve been visiting for years. Maybe you’re looking for simplyrecipes.com or something?
Track your year‘s purchases as a gold star member, if the primary account holder buys more than $3k there (not including gasoline, tobacco-related products, costco shop cards, stamps, booze in most states, prescriptions in 3 states, and at the food court), you might want to upgrade to the Executive membership ($60… Read more
Please stop filming me in my home because I just ate one of those $5 packages for lunch literally today Read more
“One of the biggest misconceptions of unions is that they are automatically the enemy of the workplace—if baristas are pushing to unionize, then they must hate Starbucks. In fact, the opposite is often true. Many leaders in organizing do so because they don’t want to leave their job, their coworkers, their bosses, and… Read more
