bzarcherHmm.
Saw my dad tonight for his birthday. Cake was had.
Iron Chef America = Good potential, I think. (Better than Iron Chef USA, sure, but so is a bag full of burning dogshit.) I liked that I felt like I saw more of the actual cooking and prep for the majority of the dishes, though Bobby Flay is still not my favorite person out there. I liked that the judges were not afraid to be critical, and that they were quite serious about scoring. (Anyone else notice that even though Flay won, he was still 10 points below theoretical max?)
MegasXLR season 3 opener = Mothafucka yeah. If you didn't watch the episode (or the season 2 cliffhanger) I can't really say more. But...yeah. Oh, hell, yeah.
Pagoda mini-egg rolls = 4 minutes in the deep fryer makes a satisfying dinner for Alex and I after going out and doing a grocery run.
Columbus locals = Hey, we need help unloading Lisa's stuff into the house, especially with Alex's back gimped up. I'm willing to cook dinner for anyone willing to come over and help us get things into the basement. We'll probably also be having a "Clean House" day at some point, too, with similar rewards in exchange for service.
I know that in a few weeks, she'll be living in the same house (OMG), but I miss her again.
I love you, Lisa.

Iron Chef Asshat
Date: 2005-01-17 06:44 am (UTC)What struck me the most was that the single difference in score was one point in presentation. Personallly, I thought that Bayless tried to present a food tour of Mexico by essentially giving a dish from every major culinary region of Mexico -- something that I think even Alton missed on -- while Flay's theme was "be the same but different than Bayless and beat him at his own game in my cocky, asshatty New Yrk-styled way." On that alone I would have upped his presentation score.
But, you can't have an Iron Chef lose on the opening show. And while Bayless is good -- no, make that great -- at what he does, Flay is one of Food Network's Golden Boys and Bayless was doomed to lose.
Next week's show has Roberto Trevino, a nuevo-latino (or as he calls it Latinasian cuisine) expert going up against Mario Batali. That should be very very interesting.

Bayless is an underrated Mexican dynamo. I love his PBS cooking show.

Date: 2005-01-17 05:20 pm (UTC)Bobby Flay doesn't just act like an ass by disrespecting the customs of Japanese chefs. He also jokes about putting meat into food served to vegetarians. "Just don't tell them." Ha Ha Ha. How hilarious! I wonder if he also sneaks pork into food he serves to Jew and Muslims, or peanuts into food for people with major food allergies. Because let me tell you, that would be some high class comedy. Funny funny funny. Fucker.
Happy happy happy about Lisa though! Yay for you!

ZESTY SENSE TINGLING.
Despite all that, I do feel he makes an amazing rack of lamb.
