I never got Monterrey...the "healthy" chef never does well....

Bring back Gale Gand!!! Damiano on Brunch with Bobby and I would be a happy girl.

I can take Sunny and like Marcela but don't ever need to see Katie on TV ever again. It's funny just to see all of the different opinions on the hosts.

I have seen a couple of episodes and didn't like it....I am hot and cold on The Kitchen but the sink is just sad...GZ is not a natural making cupcakes, sorry. I think many of us here have a difference of opinion on what we want in a Food Network Show (I think most disagree with Bobby and Geeahdah). I like actual cooking, especially baking...I don't like cutthroat kitchen or even Chopped (which I think is heresey). As a home baker I know lots of people don't so they are not going to watch Damiano and make a St. Honore cake.

Everytime the media wrings their hands over Hillary not being a great speaker: [Bartlet and Santos (the outgoing president and president-elect) ride to the inauguration together in a motorcade] Bartlet: How's your speech? Santos: It's got some good sections, but no "Ask not what your country can do for you..." Bartlet: Yeah, Kennedy kind of screwed us with that one, didn't he?

I think he was thrown by D's requests...he's a pastry chef and a control freak and Rob is not...for all the breaks they gave D over the season I am surprised they didn't let them pick thier sous chef...D would have gone with Erin and that would have been a huge advantage. I think it's a word that went from hip and happening to soccer moms and local tv news anchors. Once I know slang it's no longer cool...

I think "on fleek" means very good or perfect (urban dictionary)...oddly if someone want their POV to be "perfecct food" I don't think Booby or Jaws would be ok with that. I am lukewarm on Jernard but I wouldn't watch someone travel around and find canjun food. I think this is perfect...I understand him both the accent and the speed but as the expression goes mileage may vary. I would watch Damiano because I bake.

I don't think anyone on this show is emotionally mature.

Except it does speak to the character and the lack of boundries they all have...

He was the guy that disabled the cameras at the vintage car dealer that Smurf met on the beach...I got the impression he knew who the guy was too.

I think it's cheap and easy to make J wholesome and perfect. I need to rewatch but I thought the guy pushed Smurf out of the car...we also don't know what she did with him. Plenty of child molestors justify what they do to kids by calling it love....Smurf is was too screwed up to just have had a bad mother.

So he stayed because of the daughter but then left her at a crime scene? People have an amazing ability to remember things the way they want to...I think that guy is dead but was Pope and Julia's dad.

Oddly like the Irish many Cubans consider themselves Cuban (or Irish) still since they didn't really leave of their own accord (Castro/Potato Famine). My family fled the dominance of ABBA so I really can't relate. I think he wasn't familar with the New Mexican green chili specific version. I really hate the kiddie versions...the kids are so fake and practiced. I also wonder if they can really cook....sometimes the prep work doesn't match what ends up on the plate. I think Tregaye could be great...throw a random kitchen and have her make dinner. But she just looks silly with the fleek and poppin and whatnot...she's way too old to be "hip". Frequently theories suggest that the winner will fill a demographic that FN doesn't have. First off they currently don't have alot of pastry chefs.

Everyone gets boring....these are little boys who may never grow up...burn out or fade away.

I don't think Leo knew about Hoynes...at one point Josh comments that Leo being an alcoholic was the worst kept secret in Washington.

I was actually more surprised at Erin's cluelessness about jambalaya....I am a picky eater and I have had it 3 or 4 times in New Orleans and in the Midwest. I haven't ever heard of the dish Tregaye had but she rolled with the punches.

The scenes with Adrian reminded me of Margie on the first season of Big Love...I waned her to leave her husband and go with the geeky Mormon guy....but the heart wants and all that....

Most people haven't had a home baked chocolate chip cookie in ages...so if she makes an average one I am sure she sells a lot....people eat these nasty butter cookies or sugar cookies with what I am pretty sure is plastic frosting at most bakeries in my town. I always use 2 kinds of chocolate chips (sometimes more) in my cookies and I have a recipe for a 7 year old (nephew) with a peanut allergy that would have knocked that weird cookie muffin she put out there. Gail's look of disdain over the cookie would have been priceless. Maybe the Love Chef could tour the nation and look for the best buffet at a strip club?

The boy can cook...I like brunch with Bobby and his grill show (have tried recipes from both)....I also think he's really good at the competition stuff so they put him on a lot of stuff. I say this as a baker...if you ever watched Top Chef Just Desserts pastry chefs are control freaks....Damiano would have done well on that show. He is out of his element on here.

I don't think this ends well for Nikki...Smurf asked her which of her other boys she thought were attractive. Nikki just thinks her boyfriends Grandma is cool...she has no idea...the fact that J doesn't keep her away from these people makes him a little skeevy in my book.

I think if you mostly have sex by pretending to break in and rape your partner (regardless of respective genders) there are some pretty big issues. It's interesting to see this kind of family sexual dysfunction to play with the genders reversed....

Bread pudding and berry crumbles are always the go to on Top Chef for chefs who don't bake. The frustration with Tregaye is I think she's a really smart think on her feet Chef/caterer...I think if she dialed down he sass and showed her brains I would be a fan.

In all fairness Bread Pudding isn't baking.... I think these contestants come up with a schtick without a clue as to how it will play...I still can't understand what whimsical food might be?? I think it was the first guy off...he seriously thought he would win just repeating bacon? Like there are parts of this nation where bacon isn't available? On the first episode 5 or 6 of the contestants were plugging thier southern heritage like it's a unique perspective....unless it's Southern Vegan we have pretty much been there and done that...it just because a weird contest to see who can deep fry a combination of butter and mayo.

I think Trisha is all her....I haven't watched enough of Valerie and the few times I have watched Patricia's show I don't think she can actually cook.

The phrase you are looking for is....rode hard and put away wet.... should have read everything Snarklepuss beat me too it....
