Truffles are certainly French Italian. But to me, Italian does not equal Mediterranean. Just like all French food wouldn't be described as Mediterranean.

Yeah, I don't know. Kind of have to go with Colicchio on this one. It's not so much specific ingredients but distinctive flavors that mark something "mediterranean" (or whatever region), and truffles aren't really it.

Truffles say woodsy, earthy to me. Not sea, sex, and sun.

Didn't they say Italian/Mediterrean though, not just mediterranean?

I think they just said Mediterranean, because I remember saying after the instructions "that's pretty specific" and thinking we would see five dishes of pasta, olives, tomato, etc.

From the Bravo website: "The chefs were asked to create their own frozen pasta dishes in the vein of Bertolli Mediterranean Style Frozen Dinners to be served up to customers at a local grocer."

Ah. I must be misremembering it then. I watched pre coffee kicking in this morning.

that definitely gives some leeway. But, i think that we are again faced with that classic PR dilemma -- the contestant follows the challenge, but the judge wants something else.
Actually, I think that the point is moot, since the frozen meatball is what killed casey and dale.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One other thing about the Bertolli TM challenge -- at least the massive product placement got the winning cheftestants an awesome prize.

No one ever tires of pork preparations. You know that. Just like no one ever tires of gorgeous stoner models who talk in slow motion.
Is the guy hinting at Padma being a stoner? That would crack me up.
