leighdear January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 I'm with you, cooks! I wanted the truck lady to get another shot. But then, I'm a sucker for sliders over raw veggies. Good thing the non-cooking friend was intelligent enough (on camera, that is) to bow out of the partnership. But the chef was an idiot to let non-cooker even into the kitchen. The FIRST thing you do in situations like that is get a giant white board and write down a list, with specifics, for the assistant to tend to. If the kitchen is not your usual environment, you will never be able to remember a verbal list of times, ingredients and temps. Non-cooker showed that immediately! I'm intrigued by the sous vide steak. I've put leftover steak or prime rib in a ziplock bag and allowed it to gently warm back up in water, to preserve the rareness, but that's a lot different than a true sous vide. *LOL* 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20827-s02e02-the-comeback-cooks/#findComment-744429
cooksdelight January 21, 2015 Author Share January 21, 2015 Sous vide and anti-griddle are two things I want to try. Chopped has ruined me. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20827-s02e02-the-comeback-cooks/#findComment-744439
Puffaroo January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 Why is it I always want to see the pair not picked? I wanted to see that BBQ thing worked on a little more. I suspect that, when picking a winner, a large part of the equation is the possibility for drama. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20827-s02e02-the-comeback-cooks/#findComment-745541
ae2 January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 They're really losing the thread on their themed episodes. Comebacks? So you couldn't find another food truck, or another high-end restaurant to pair them with? Tim talked about the sliders looking like a pile of brown crap. But that's the nature of pulled meat. Doesn't he run BBQ restaurants? No one eats there because the food is pretty. Why did they choose to run with this business? Their menu was incomplete, and one guy was there because the show clearly wants partners. (Otherwise, the popup portion of the show is just footage of him doing work.) The food truck was operating and making a healthy profit, had a proven successful business woman running it, a chef on board with her, and a huge following in good sized market. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20827-s02e02-the-comeback-cooks/#findComment-745562
anonymiss January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 (edited) That was a great episode. I liked his food (and I'm a vegan). It looked and sounded great. The decor and signage was definitely the best they've had on the show, like Joe said. Watching him expedite was cool for me to see since I never really see that other than Gordon Ramsay's style.... Nice of Antonia to be able to cross-promote her restaurants while also offering her actual restaurateur assets in her staff. The best friend came up with the name and is lifelong moral support, so I understood why he wasn't able to dismiss him.

GaT January 25, 2015 Share January 25, 2015 I thought they picked the wrong people. The woman's food sounded better to me, & she had a chef with her. This guy had a really good friend, but the guy didn't know anything about the restaurant business. He reminded me of all the idiot owners on Restaurant Impossible who open restaurants because they think it will be fun. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20827-s02e02-the-comeback-cooks/#findComment-756822
FastLou February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I was very excited to see WOW because I've eaten at their truck a number of times here in Atlanta and it is delicious. But then they lost out to a complete train wreck. I hope they can find alternate funding for their restaurant. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/20827-s02e02-the-comeback-cooks/#findComment-783056
