We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That was the shrimp parfait that they featured on the behind-the-scenes ep. Loved the reaction of the judges, especially the brave woman who took a big bite and then immediately looked like she wanted to spit it out.

Ah, Steingarten. My oh-so-grumpy Seekrit TV boyfriend.

Before you laugh, consider: dude has a salamander oven in his kitchen.

Sue, were you out carousing again last night?

Video game launch party, open bar, only soup for supper.

Congrats to the Wolframs!

And I'm so glad you are feeling better, Jen.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Kalshane! Girl! Apartment!

See girl run in terror from dirty bachelor pad.

Though it's actually not too bad, I just really want to get the bathroom cleaned and the vacuum run at the very least.

But I made the drive down to her place last weekend (it's an hour and a half away) for our date, so she's returning the favor this weekend.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh, sarameg, so true. It's like referring to "East Coast" cuisine. I am still trying to train the phrase "Tex-Mex" out of Bob.

I am still trying to train the phrase "Tex-Mex" out of Bob.

I'll use the phrase. Usually perjoratively, referencing gloppy tomato-y unspicy chili with beans and ground beef. Or really, anything spicy at Texas Raodhouse.....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

To me, Tex Mex is the "Mexican" food at Chili's.

Good date, I'm assuming.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

OMG the uni parfait. Who knew it was possible to cram so much WRONG into one dish?

I love that Batali has this huge "how lucky am I to be doing this" vibe and still has the chutzpah to try something so singularly wrong like a wrong thing that is wrong.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh, sarameg, so true. It's like referring to "East Coast" cuisine. I am still trying to train the phrase "Tex-Mex" out of Bob.

What?!?!? You mean people in the Southwest don't put jalapenos in every blessed thing they can get their hands on?

I remember at Thanksgiving there were all these "Southwestern" recipes and I was like, huh, they throw the same spice on each dish there. That's sorta weird.

I never knew there was a chef named that! We're not exactly culinary folk around here.
