Is anyOne watching "live to dance"? I hadn't been but am accidentally watching now (is this the finale?) and so far pretty impressive. And makes me want SYTYCD back!

Eta: though this one group of boys is...weirdly semi "Indian" dressed or something and I'm side-eyeing their feathers and body paint.

meara,

I watch LTD. IMO, the show needs some retweaking and perhaps some better talent. This was one of the better shows in terms of talent, but it was the semifinals (finals are next week). The audition shows were incredibly uneven.

amy,

Bourdain in his blog says you can't get in there unless you know someone who has a table or you know the owner. They do not take reservations.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All the dudes were totally rude about Antonia winning. I wanted to smack Blaise's assface.

Oh yeah. It's funny how often the judges have said it, and how hard it is for certain chefs to believe it -- they like simple food that tastes really good. See also, Carla in her season.

Punishingly Intricate

I had ah mazing housemade pasta (just that easy thick flat long pasta I can't remember the name of right now) and meatballs at one of our fave neighborhood restaurants last week. Totally toothsome pasta and flavorful, beautifully textured meatballs (also huge!). It's their tuesday night special and is under $20. I was thinking if one of the Primi course guys had made something like that they would have totally pleased the judges.

If the pasta worked out I guess.

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

It's funny how often the judges have said it, and how hard it is for certain chefs to believe it -- they like simple food that tastes really good.

And even if the judges hadn't made this explicit over several seasons, it *should* be blazingly obvious to anyone with even a passing familiarity with the Craft restaurants.

Because books.

Bourdain's blog is so priceless. From last night's episode:

"I wasn't around for the Quickfire, so maybe I missed why Padma was dressed like a Superfriend."
