I agree Vortex, it startled me a bit. I mean, I'd be more WTF over Howie's non-dish than the thing Hung produced. I mean, it was odd, but it obviously took effort.
I did like how relaxed they all seemed during the QF tasting. Everyone was checking out the competing dishes and laughing together. I mean, beyond the rude, I think they were all mentally WTF over Hung's dish.

They really all seem to like each other which is nice to watch. I kind of loved Hung's dish. Way more appropriate to do something whackaloon like that in QuickFire rather than when having to serve it to actual, non-judge, people. Like the dude last season in the firehouse challenge (if I'm remembering correctly).
Yes, the guest judge was a douche. Obviously, his friends waited too late to do a douche intervention. We should look on with sorrow. . . I mean how could you not LAUGH at Hung's Smurf-scape? At least he didn't mistake salt for sugar.
Hung's dish was really hilarious. BF thought for sure Hung did a fuck you to the whole idea of that challenge though. But Hung's comments later seemed to belie this.
But really, what could you have done with that aisle? At least he wasn't going to get knocked for not being colorful! Ha!
The SO & I were talking about it, and we said, maybe you could have gotten some of the crunchier granola sorts of cereals and made...I dunno. Something whole-grain-y with them.
Hey, they only had $10. Cereal's like $4 a box!
Could you have done something creative with oatmeal? Maybe not in 20 minutes.
Maybe a granola omelet? The idea of that just made me sick.
I think what you could do with the stuff depends on what the limited supplies from the pantry were.
Shit, I just read that Mario Batali's shows haven't been renewed and as a result he's quit Iron Chef America. I'm not surprised, given how the Food Network's been trending (and I think Tony Bourdain predicted this in one of his anti-FN diatribes), but still sad. That pretty much leaves Alton and Morimoto (the once every decade he gets chosen now) as a draw on that show for me.
It also makes me way less interested in that NEXT IRON CHEF show that's coming up, since it's obvious why they're having it.
