Pretty sure he'd be happy enough to be the next Guy Fieri....

I would love to know how much money Patron put into this episode, that the whole hour is an ad for them AND they get ads in the ad breaks!

And there are clearly people who think the Forrest Bounce is best practices, gameplay-wise, which I'm sure is why she did it.

I don't understand why people here are saying they think a doctor would be better at comforting a crying baby than a nurse? I've worked with a lot of doctors, and they don't tend to be super comforting. Great at a lot of things, but not that soothing, as a rule.

I forgot to post about the Funkytown category! It was like the reverse of the many French things Alex gets to say in each episode -- could no one have told him how to say any of that??? I laughed and laughed.

I'm so proud of Tom for stopping himself from saying Brooke making a soup was "ballsy" (because I'm sure that's what his pause was about). Non-gendered compliments (and insults) FTW.

Aside from any aesthetic choice, if you have a lot of hair, it makes it cooler.

Both of those were so great, and are to me the upside of All-Stars (or half-ASS) -- the show people really get to know the contestants, so have a lot more insight into them. Sheldon should stay humble, obviously, but needs to own his greatness, too. And Brooke can fight the tough-guy chef image that is so prevalent without being any less.

That makes no sense to me.

This might be ridiculous, but I feel like it's om-peer because it's the French empire, not the the British (or any other)!

I'ma cross my fingers (I mean, handy-toesies) and get on board: 1 to "fire" egavasc (Lisin) 2 to "unlist" Lisin (Drogo, LadyC) 3 to "glare menacingly at" LadyC (MMCS, a1, Jesse)

You should! Are you implying you were a bad guy?

Yeah, that looks right.

Why not Delaware? It's just the next state down from NJ. And I'm guessing it's the Berkshires you can see, so Western MA and hilly.

Which reminds me -- am I the only person who thought Jim won his first LCK because he used the Sponsor Brand Ranch??

OK, I swapped @aquarian1 and @Lady Calypso. So if one of you was a wolf, speak up now!

I know a couple of homies aren't who they think they are, but want to wait and let more people reveal themselves first before saying more.

Good morning! Let's get crack-a-lackin.

There was an interesting interview on the Serious Eats podcast with Bill Telepan where he was saying you can't make money in high-rent areas with a mid-level restaurant -- you've got to either do super high end or fast-casual to turn a profit.

Same, @aquarian1.

Totally off-topic, but the painkillers in my office are now labeled that they have I think dairy in them -- turns out one of my coworkers is allergic. Pills have to be made up of something, I guess! A flat is what you make the set walls (e.g.) out of -- a scrim comes down over the front of the stage and is more or less see-through. If that's what you were wondering about.

I noticed that, too, and wondered what was actually going on with that dude's brain chemistry.

Yeah, that was incredibly sad. I hope Robbie stays in treatment forever.

Serious Eats did a thing about tomatoes and refrigeration, and I think the upshot was that putting them in the fridge keeps them good longer, and if you warm them up before eating, they are just as good. FYI. I wonder if Tom hadn't heard Emily dithering about what she was going to make, if he would have been more positive about her final dish.
