worst sounding sushi roll at guy fieri's southern bbq & california style sushi restaurant tex wasabi's

you can't tell me Carla Hall isn't a nice person, I will never believe you

Carla Hall could in fact be stabbing me repeatedly and my response would be "ow ow ow fuck ow HOW DELIGHTFUL jesus that hurts ow"

there are totally exceptions but having spent a long time in the restaurant industry and knowing ppl that have spent even longer, there is definitely a certain system in place that seems to encourage abusive and tempermental behavior

btw you know who's a total DICK probably worse than guy fieri (and racist)?
Marcus Samuelsson the dude that judges sometimes on Chopped & is an Iron Chef

i met samuelsson and he seemed nice enough
i was trying to get a job tho
i did not get the job

and yeah, carla is the exception that proves the rule dan

things i heard were just ridic assholeish

I'm thinking about some of the things I heard my dad say and, yeah, while often hilarious he was pretty much a total asshole. I take back my earlier defense. Sorry pops.

jess you have to promise that next time you forget your login and create a new ilx account it has to be "strongo hulkington's ghost dad boner"

wouldn't surprise me matt.
do tell?

But what about the America's Test Kitchen chefs??? (with the exception of Christopher Kimball who is clearly a psychopath)

The Frugal Gourmet looked like a trip.

weren't there like pedophilia accusations against the frugal gourmet? or am i idly slandering again?

omg that dude

xp yes i think there were.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frugal_gourmet#Sexual_abuse_allegations_and_settlement

lol that paragraph is in need of a "citation needed" on one of those sentences

(with the exception of Christopher Kimball who is clearly a psychopath)

ha the Times just did a big profile of him recently, he seemed like a pretty weird dude

"The banger is the name for the sausage!"

The theory in our house is that Kimball is an adult baby.

he looks like a librarian icecream man serial killer

"Let's get away from bacon and eggs and all that cholesterol....so let's choose something healthier, from the American South: biscuits and gravy!"

oh man that frugal gourmet intro takes me back

that Kimball interview/article was priceless

oh man that frugal gourmet intro takes me back

UPDATE: I asked famous (and restaurant-friendly) Olive Garden reviewer Marilyn Hagerty what she thought of Wells’ critique. The Grand Forks Herald restaurant reviewer hasn’t responded to my email yet. || UPDATE II: She’s too busy to answer emails today. I just read that Anderson Cooper surprised her on his show with a 12-day Mediterranean cruise package. (I didn’t know until now that she’s a show regular.) || UPDATE III: I never did hear from the Guy’s publicist.

Marilyn Hagerty sent this email at 10:03 p.m. Thursday:

Hi Jim …I just now got home from New York where I was on Anderson Cooper show today …We were talking about the combined Olive Garden and Red Lobster under one roof … Something new Darden is doing in small markets…so just for fun I went to Waycross, Ga., and reported on it …

So I haven’t been aware of anything else because I have been on five airplanes the past four days …. The review is very interesting, but I wonder why a person would write a completely negative review. I don’t know what is the point. I guess there are many ways of thinking! Marilyn

watching the Frugal Gourmet, whose popularity peaked in the mid to late eighties, I forgot how most people were just becoming aware of cholesterol and fat.

A 1992 Harper's Magazine article by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison entitled "P.C. on the Grill" ridiculed him as condescending, ill-informed, and for "cloth[ing] consumption in piety."[2] Smith reportedly wept on the air when discussing this article, which he called "so profoundly hurtful I didn't know what to do."

really need my gf to come home so she can tell me how we access the harper's archive

Never have truer words been spoken, etc.

Jeff Smith was my pa

"show me on this knobby summer squash where the pbs chef touched you"

these old frugal gourmet clips are a trip; i don't think 6-year-old me registered how weird this guy was.

every dish was first cooked for him by some little old lady in a boring part of the country!

the frugal gourmet seems like part of a hangover from some 70s/early 80s culture that really isnt around anymore

i can't really define it but i'd include things like early genesis album covers and your family having an entire cabinet full of dinner plates designed to look hand-thrown

same thing that begat owls on everything and overwhelming walls of houseplants?

basically the impression that lots of people would have rather lived in hobbiton

the frugal gourmet seems like part of a hangover from some 70s/early 80s culture that really isnt around anymore

the same hole from whence Out of Africa came!
