Also, doesn't learning how to correctly roll sushi take a least a bit of training?
I just wasn't sure what they were supposed to do with that shrimp skewer. And in the shots of them eating it, they all looked uncomfortable and vaguely pissed off. You want to eat something messy and clumsy like that at home, not at a party.
I was surprised by the Quickfire, too -- only Lee, Jamie, and Stefan really seemed willing to *play* and one-up each other to compete.
And then the shrimp was COLD.
Yeah, I thought that Eugene might go home but Daniel's completely incorrect perception that his food was good totally sealed his fate.
I was so amused that Jeff's sorbet was the favorite of that group. I sadly missed Stefan's expression. (Although I can imagine it.)
Didn't Leah say something about their dish missing some pizzaz? Some crunch or something?
She did -- said it needed more crunch, which I guess they were thinking the cornmeal would provide?
And then the shrimp was COLD.
Seriously. People worried about serving sorbet in that set-up, but tempura's no better.
There is a snippet of Phil Keoghan on the Bonnie Hunt show at her website.
Oh man I like Eugene but he's very lucky Daniel was delusional about the food. What a mess!! And Carla not speaking up in the beginning drove me batty!
What else could they have done for New? I was thinking of something w/ new potatoes and baby vegetables. I don't know about the protein though.
New potatoes, baby veg. New techniques?
New York something! Strip steak, for example.
Or maybe something less seen like Beefalo.

What's a beefalo?? Buffalo / Cow hybrid?
