I think if she'd been a man, their comments would have been less patronizing. The "Oh honey, I'll walk you down" shit really rubbed me the wrong way.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think it was patronizing because the two weren't competing.
I know a lot of men in sports competitive situations. This is the kind of shit they say to each other. My SO's Madden online gaming league is a trip.

Do you think we can get Top Chef: CSI (using only materials found at a crime scene, each week contestants....) or Top Chef: Law & Order: Courtroom Cafeteria

Because books.
I honestly would vote for them making a rule next season that no one can use scallops EVER.

Agreed - no scallops, no lamb.

Because books.
The lamb I don't mind so much because I can never get any up here, unless I go to a butcher and pay out the nose.
I'd also like to ban anything that starts with "water," such as tomato water, because ... it just doesn't sound appealing to me in any way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm just going to put out there that I will be highly annoyed if the Top Pastry Chefs are mostly men.
