i was SO thrilled when danny won! he's an incredible cook,and having worked with a broken thumb and screwing up constantly,he was awe inspiring! oh,hey,did you know that jnelle from last season lost the job because she couldn't pass a drug screen? i mean,geez,get a clue,girl,olose a quarter mil for smoking,how stupid ARE you????
i learned to baldface LIE to clients while i was running the catering kitchen at the convention center. now,i'm a wizard with cold water seafood,but i know jack squat about warm water seafood,or freshwater fish,for that matter. so i started making up stories based on the name of whatever i had to cook,and kept them on my work computer. i was shocked at how many people believed them,they were total fairy tales,lol! my favorite is still the story about red snapper actually being related to deep sea snapping turtles,and ONLY found off the coast of louisiana,because they have red beach sand that the fish eat,like chickens eat dirt,to help them digest. and they have HUGE teeth,like pirahnas,because they're related to turtles. the british lady setting up the function believed every word,and i don't think i've ever seen my boss laugh so hard as he did that day.:)
the coolest chef i've ever had the honor to work with was a cherokee named running bear,he was the tour chef for ZZ top. they had bought him a new kitchen bus to be picked up here and it wasn't ready,so he cooked in my kitchen for 3 days. i learned so much from him,and taught him a few things too,we had a blast! he calls me whenever they're in town,and we go and eat bbq and drink beer,i love that man!
okay,we're pretty much watching hell's kitchen episodes on the same day,13 was last night,cool!
as for nightmares,you're way ahead of us,i think,we're on season 6,that's the one with the opening episode where they go back to amy's. have you seen that,or are the seasons just numbered differently?
haven't seen any of the other 3, they must be on bbc instead of fox? you definitely need fox!
masterchef junior has actually been renewed for the second AND third seasons,with season 2 in the fall,no date yet.
as for the dressing up,i don't get that either,in particular the hair and shoes! they wouldn't even make it through the door on MY kitchen,that's for sure! note that whitney and christine DIDN'T do that! when i had to dress up to act as a liason,i didn't step foot in the kitchen,ever. my best friend and cohort michael ran the show on those days,and most of the staff didn't recognize me,lol!
pigtroughgirl needs a lesson in being the kitchen slug,just so she knows what it's like. and btw,i am notorious for nicknaming people on my shows,as i'm dismal with names.
i do have a list of the full 30,with the ones eliminated in the first episode lined out,i could post it if you'd like that. i do that to keep track for another site i post on,so everybody knows at a glance if their faves/despised are still there for next episode. sometimes you just have to miss an episode,you know?
so far my faves are dan wu,cortney the stripper,big willie and venisonman. despised are leslie(the malibu dad),molecularman,corinne of the dreadlocks and piegirl.
but that will change,it always does,lol!
taste my religion! nibble a witch! 😄
