cooksdelight August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 Successful snout-to-tail catering company; a small anchovy-themed pop-up. Season finale. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13777-s01e08-the-best-ingredient-for-investment/
calvinshobbes August 27, 2014 Share August 27, 2014 sorry the Whole Beast. As soon as I saw the concept, I knew they wouldn't get picked since this show already did one with that guy with the small plates and butchering the entire hog and the wife that nearly cost them the deal. I think it was only because he worked in famous resturants that gave him the deal in the end. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13777-s01e08-the-best-ingredient-for-investment/#findComment-326721
cooksdelight August 27, 2014 Author Share August 27, 2014 I am no fan of anchovies, but their concept intrigued me. I liked the name, loved the final logo treatment. When the man picked blue for the wall color, I could almost hear the Death March playing in the background. Glad they changed the color. If I had nickel for every time that girl said "like"..... 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13777-s01e08-the-best-ingredient-for-investment/#findComment-326816
leighdear August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 Oh lord, Cooks, the blue....the blue..... Painter guy was about to hand that chick her head, but she was so right that the blue was wrong. The re-do was a HUGE improvement, even though the tacky brick-patterned wall covering was pretty obvious. But for a 36-hour job, they pulled it off pretty well. And good to see T&J working together on the deal, since they usually do them separately. Very Shark-tanky with the duo financing. I just watched it on the CNBC website, since I forgot to record it to my DVR last night. No commercials or breaks on the replay. I may do that every time. Good episode, as I didn't hate anybody. *LOL* 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13777-s01e08-the-best-ingredient-for-investment/#findComment-327028
ae2 August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 sorry the Whole Beast.

I think it was only because he worked in famous resturants that gave him the deal in the end. I thought the same thing. Unfortunate, because they were one of the few partners we have seen so far who seem to get along great and complement one another. It's clear that what they need isn't an investment, but a partner who knows how to run and scale the business while they stick to the butchering / cooking side of things. Not a fish person here, but despite their awesome name, I think the stigma against anchovies is too high in the U.S. (Oh, and I'm fairly certain Joe is way, way off in saying anchovies are the most consumed fish in the world.) But they executed well and weren't incredibly obnoxious. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13777-s01e08-the-best-ingredient-for-investment/#findComment-328451
cooksdelight August 28, 2014 Author Share August 28, 2014 I had to go look it up, but tuna is the most consumed fish worldwide, mostly canned. Herring is the most consumed other than tuna. It is said to have the same nutritional value as a steak. Once again, Joe has no idea what he's talking about. Anchovies didn't even make the top 10. In the U.S., it's shrimp, followed by canned tuna, salmon, tilapia, pollock, pangasius, crab, cod, catfish, clams. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13777-s01e08-the-best-ingredient-for-investment/#findComment-328480
sunrisepink September 18, 2014 Share September 18, 2014 Once it was all put together, the idea of the fish restaurant really intrigued me. I don't even like fish but some of their dishes looked delicious. The interior remodel was amazing too.
