Guess what I found on Create this morning?

I don't think that WTTW (local PBS station) even showed it but there it was.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Looks like a fun season.
It does, although I pray to God that Rupert goes home early.

Oh you guys, we just got back from Vegas and while we were wandering the Venetian I made the gang stop at Bouchon Bakery for cookies. Hands down the best macaroons I’ve had a long, long time. Also? We saw Hubert Keller walking towards Burger Bar so it was a Top Chef Vegas trip!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Worst Chef in America: They're doing shellfish again? And I still think I would like this show better if they focused on home-style cooking rather than restaurant-style.

Have you watched Chef Academy? I've only caught a couple of eps, and the guy running it seems like a jackhole, but it does seem to start out each ep with "how to cook bread" or some such, and actually teaching them how to do it and *then* making them compete.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yeah, the show has a lot of serious limitations. He does seem to do some instruction, but the casting for the show leaves a lot to be desired. It is over produced in some areas with fake drama and staged conflict.
I wish there was a bit more instruction that the viewer could benefit from.

I find the way he fucks with the other french guy incredibly uncomfortable. Okay, dude was a stripper. So does not make it okay to ask him to strip for other contestants, even if he doesn't appear to care. Ugh.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
He was more than a stripper - he was a porn star.

Still!
And boy is cute as fuck, for sure. But chef whoever seems to be pretty much in 1956 as far as his general opinions go. (And not like he was born yet in '56). Not exactly of course, but I got a total Mad Men vibe from him being all "stripper in the past = I can make him strip down for anything. Why would he care?"
