Having that sort of information is usually more of a distraction than an advantage.
Yeah, especially when you've already planned your menu and gotten all the ingredients. It's not like they could have done too much different at that stage. Except be more careful with seasoning maybe.
I have the same thoughts about Eugene v. Carla as Vortex. I liked him a lot but he hasn't really shined since the hibachi thing. Carla is too woo woo for me but I hope she does become more confident after this save and asserts herself more.
Carla kind of annoys me, but I think that she's a good person.
Yeah, I agree. I'm sure she's a wonderful human being, but I think if I had to spend more than 5 minutes alone with her I'd want to stab myself. She has crazy eyes!
I don't like the new judge. He seems like an asshole just to be an asshole. Bourdain is harsh like woah (Mikey's "Flinstonian execution" will always be my favorite), but he doesn't do it for effect, he does it because that's really what he thinks/feels. New Judge's comment about the WMDs was really unnecessary.
He seems like an asshole just to be an asshole.
I thought the same thing but then he was nice about the dishes he liked at least and stood up for things the other judges weren't crazy about. Maybe he was overcompensating for being new?
I think he had the WMD line prepped up and ready to go on the first subpar dish. IMO, calling the fish taco "cat food" was more personal and stinging because it obviously wasn't a rehearsed line.
And what was she thinking of, making fish tacos for her Wow! dish, anyway? That was pure stupidity.
Maybe he was overcompensating for being new?
Maybe. Still a jerk about it, though. We'll see what happens next week. Why couldn't they have had Bourdain fill in!
Speaking of Bourdain, the new season of No Reservations started Monday with Mexico being the first trip. Same old Tony, so it was good.
It was good - that mole he had at Carlos' house looked yummy.
The Chicago No Reservations is going to be on February 2nd!
