Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I think you're being extremely generous.

well, I did call her a ghoul and a drunk, so I thought it would be too much to say that her recipes were completely disgusting and I wouldn't eat them if I'd been held captive for three years in the congo subsisting on fetid water and the occasional grub.

I'd rather watch an all-day Rachel Ray marathon than five minutes of Sandra Lee. She literally makes me dive for the remote.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I love Paula Deen.

Sandra Lee scares me.

I was really hoping for a Chiarello Comeuppance. Ah well. I kind of wished they'd brought in the sous chefs to discuss working with the chefs.

Could I love Rick and Hubert more? No, I could not.

SERIOUSLY. The only thing that would make me happier is if Eric Ripert were in the mix somewhere.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

BINAO with Hubert and Rick would be too damn hard

I'm tired of Paula and Rachel. I never watched Sandra Lee.

Seriously, I was right there with you, Nora. Dude, you opened a burger joint. What have you been smoking to think you are remotely on par with any of the four?

I never watched Sandra Lee.

You are so lucky.

Never underestimate a person's capacity for self-delusion.

My coworker today insisted that, no problem, she would have been able to identify smoked paprika and chervil.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The only thing that would make me happier is if Eric Ripert were in the mix somewhere.

On Monday, I caught a rerun of No Reservations where Bourdain went back to his old stomping grounds of Les Halles (restaurant in NYC) and worked the line as a sous chef for the day. For the dinner shift, he brought in Ripert to work the grill, who (of course) handled it much better than Bourdain did.
