Stardancer Supreme March 27, 2020 Share March 27, 2020 (edited) I wanted Crystal's to go farther. That said, I will check them out once this pandemic is over since I live in Philly. That first day killed them saleswise. I want all of the Bachelor Bros to go. I also want to know why slimy Stefanos had to run home. Edited March 27, 2020 by Stardancer Supreme 4 Link to comment

Maverick March 28, 2020 Share March 28, 2020 10 will get you 5 he had to go home for legal reasons. The real money's in guessing what the charges are. Who the hell made up those team names in the first round? They had nothing to do with each other, the challenge at hand or food trucks. It was like someone took the weekend page of a Word-A-Day calendar and said 'Hey, let's use these'. Bachelor Kitchen: 'Team Fat Kid. Cool, we both like bacon grease' Me: 'Yes, but they use it as a cooking ingredient, not as a hair product' Why would they sit out Stefanos? He has to drive away at least as many people as he brings and if if they took out the chef it wouldn't matter if they pulled in customers. 1 5 Link to comment
Sew Sumi March 28, 2020 Share March 28, 2020 Yeah, they benched all the chefs except for Stefanos. I found that quite odd. 4 Link to comment
spiderpig March 28, 2020 Share March 28, 2020 Having watched this show from S1E1, I have to say this is the scruffiest collection of contestants I've seen yet. Their concepts are not appealing and their food looks like the stuff they shoveled out on on "roach coaches" in days of yore. Not only would I refuse to pay $10-15 for their food, I wouldn't even slow down to check out their menus. Just yuck. Sorry, Tyler. 1 Link to comment

Christina March 30, 2020 Share March 30, 2020 Crystal's Comfort Food is trying to sell frozen chicken wings and proprietary sauces online, but are having some issue with shipping. If anyone is near, they are trying to make a pickup option. I'm not sure why and it's probably unfair of me, but this GFM really bugs me. It's probably just my aversion to GFM because it is abused so often. I'm trying to see if anyone mentioned what happened with Stefanos but haven't found it yet. Link to comment
Christina March 30, 2020 Share March 30, 2020 It's not mentioned on The Bachelor Kitchen's Instagram, which has a whole three posts, so I can't say for sure it's true, but apparently Stephan is the Assurance Officer for a non-profit named Unizin and something happened there requiring him to return to deal with it. That's too dull and not juicy enough for me, so I'm going with him getting kicked out for being so dirty in the kitchen. Both possibilities can't be confirmed by me and therefor, are worth exactly what was paid for them. 6 Link to comment
MajorWoody March 30, 2020 Share March 30, 2020 (edited) Regarding the Bachelor Slobs emergency exit, that whole thing was so fishy. He supposedly gets the life altering phone call while still selling greasy grub, and they make it apparent that it is a dire emergency and he will have to leave. Then they wait till the sales have ended, the trucks have all driven to the meetup with Tyler, and Tyler begins his monologue before Greasy decides to tell Tyler. Which had to be at least several hours. As if Tyler wasn’t told right away by the crews filming, yet he acts like he had no idea. If they are going to put such nonsensical drama into the show, at least make it realistic. Edited March 30, 2020 by MajorWoody 7 Link to comment

xaxat March 30, 2020 Share March 30, 2020 (edited) I checked the Unizin site, it appears that Stephan has a real career with an established company that provides IT services to schools like Penn State and Indiana. So my theory is that the other two members recruited him for the audition tape. He gave them more energy and charisma. And it worked, perhaps to his surprise. So he took some time off and entered the race knowing that after a week or two, he would be returning to his real job. What we saw was a staged exit. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone knew from the start that he would be leaving. Just a theory though. No insider information. Edited March 30, 2020 by xaxat 3 2 Link to comment

mlp April 3, 2020 Share April 3, 2020 I like the bachelor guys now that Stephanos is gone - except for the stuffed pig. That just looks stupid. I was hoping the sope truck would be eliminated. Those gals in their sleeveless tops and silly rose headbands irritate me. I noticed the one driver on that team wasn't wearing her seatbelt. That annoyed me too. I'm glad the Mystikka (sp.?) truck won. 7 Link to comment

spiderpig April 3, 2020 Share April 3, 2020 Like several of you have mentioned, the Bachelors have grown on me since the departure of sleazy Stephanos. Their food actually looked pretty good and they came across as personable. I also agree about the annoying, squealing sopos crew. Just stifle. The glop produced by Team Fat Kid turned my stomach. Should have marketed their stuff with a gift certificate for a bypass. 2 Link to comment

spiderpig April 10, 2020 Share April 10, 2020 (edited) At this point it seems the Lunch Ladies are being positioned to take it home. While I'm not emotionally invested in this season, I really hope Super Sope doesn't pull off an upset. All of their dishes look like they have been drizzled with Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll icing. And their giddy act turns me off. There;s always next season. I'd like to see something funky like "Great Food Truck Road Race...Rust Belt!!!" Film it mid-winter with trucks falling into potholes and then serving stuffed cabbage and sauerkraut and other terrific stinky cold-weather foods. Yum! (Grew up in Ohio.)

The Lunch Ladies don't interest me at all and I don't care for the woman who is the main spokesperson. I cringed when she ran into that bar or whatever it was and started screeching/demanding that everyone should come out to the food truck. The sope group has annoyed me from the beginning, mostly because of the way they chose to dress. I don't have any problem with them individually but I don't like seeing people sleeveless when they're working around food and those headbands are just silly. I hope the Mystikka truck wins. 3 Link to comment
Stardancer Supreme April 11, 2020 Share April 11, 2020 Yes, I also am not for the bullying to go to a food truck. The point of a food truck is to go where the people are and attract them to your food. You will not roll up on me to patronize your business. Hawking your ware that way is not attractive. 4 Link to comment

If you’re not familiar, that’s just crema - the Mexican equivalent of creme fraiche, or a slightly thinner sour cream. Basically, instead of one big blob of sour cream that you might get on chain Mexican food, they’re doing a drizzle of their sauce. Personally I think their food- and plating- looks really good, but ymmv. 4 Link to comment
