Next food Network Star (Capital Culinarian)
Q
Comments (12)
LOL!! Sorry, Trevor, I was teasing!! Of course it's great for Capital to get their goods seen. Probably helps that they're located very near where the show was filmed. What I meant was that Top Chef has had GE Monogram and now has KitchenAid Architect. Surely product placement. For which the corporations provide the appliances and often monetary consideration as well. They also get vocal acknowledgement and close ups on the badges at a contracted rate. And, if the chefs don't like cooking on residential appliances, the grousing is never aired. Whereas, the contestants on NFNS get Culinarians, which from what I've seen on your website and from the raves from folks here who are cooking on them, is a superior kind of residential unit. For sure, there's lots of power, which the restaurant trained among them will like. What I meant was lucky them!

Hey, I can swear with the best of you, although I rarely do. Raising a bunch of boys after their father died taught me the value of 'holding my tongue', as it were. Once in a blue moon, when I'd had enough and really let loose, the effect was electrifying. Just as sherrmann described, my sons' friends still talk in hushed and awed tones about the time "Miz B told Jason to take his sorry azz and all his chit out of her house and never, ever bring his effing scumbag self back". They were in such a state of shock, they barely said a word for 2 days afterwards. rofl Okay, not exactly the language my mother taught me. But I caught Jason with dope, so Southern manners were the least of my concerns, right? I'm just fine with 'salty' language, as long as nobody is around who would be offended. For instance, I'd never insult my 90-year-old great aunt by using words that would upset her. (You may call that hypocrisy. I call it courtesy.) What I'm not okay with, under any circumstances, is crude language. And the word "snot" is painfully crude, particularly when used to describe food. Turns my stomach (and I don't have a weak one!) sm P.S. And I have to add that comparing Julia Child's voice to coarse language is THE most ridiculous 'strawman' evah!!!

Melissa's debut on FoodNetwork
Q

Well, she would have more credibility with me on her $10 meals if she didn't spend the entire show talking about how she lived in Paris and ate at the little cafes. So much for the "Mom cooking for her kids" angle. She wasn't as annoying as the Neelys, I agree, but I get the feeling she's never had to worry about how much her grocery bill is. I just didn't really care for her (which means nothing, I didn't like any of the contestants very much). I'll have to watch her a couple of times to see if it's first impression or if she's going to be tolerable long term. Her potato torte sounded pretty good, although I'm not sure how she could possibly make that meal for under $10. Do they not count anything you should already have, like potatoes or olive oil for the salad dressing? The frozen apple sauce stuff just didn't sound good at all to me either, but I'll bet the Monkey Princess and Bruvver would eat it. Plus she's talking about "if you're on a budget, buy Grade B maple syrup". Huh? Even the cheap maple syrup is $7 or $8 for a small bottle, and that's here in Michigan where we tap the trees and make the syrup! Annie

Gardnerwannabe, you reached over here and snatched those words right out of my keyboard! And you're right, next thing people will be ordered to give sworn testimony as to whether they've ever THOUGHT that word. I hadn't got that far in my thinking. I've lived in the South my entire life and I assure everybody that the use of the n word was not acceptable in my home at any time. That would go back to before the '50s. It wasn't a big deal, it just wasn't acceptable and never spoken. That's just to clear things up for anybody who believes some great wave of enlightenment swept the South at some fairly recent time in history. I think katlan and ruthie made excellent points. I so agree that we ourselves have given this particular word far more power than it deserves. I sincerely hope that those who are so self-righteous about the whole thing have never said or done anything that might have hurt anybody's feelings or offended anybody in any way, ever. And I'll add that there are regional accents in some parts of this country that I find unpleasant, even irritating, but darned if I'm going to get on here and point those out because I know that some of them just automatically go with some very nice people. Much ado about not very much...

Yep Penny definitely has attitude. Yeah attitude, that's it. LOL The women this time are getting on my nerve with the whining they do. The scene from next week when Penny meow/cat snarls at the other woman made me laugh. If she doesn't step up the showmanship next week I'll bet she'll be gone. Last nights show was good. I'm really wanting to try the cole slaw I don't care that much for mayo either but I like creamy dressing on slaw.
Even though it is still early in the game I'm guessing Susie and Vic for finalists. Both excellent chefs just need to get that TV-face and personality up and running. I think they are both intelligent, serious about making the grade and acting professional.

I don't really 'get' this show. I've only caught bits and pieces but to me it seems a bit like showing the wizard behind the curtain. Not that I don't have some idea of what goes on at the Food Network but I'd prefer to just watch a new personality and judge them on their show, not see all the drama and crap that goes into finding and building a new cooking show personality. They seem really stuck on one formula at the Food Network as far as their cooking shows. Good Eats was different but the other cooking shows are pretty much the same show with a different face cooking.
