Alton Brown talks about Next Iron Chef - I totally missed the premiere.
Did you guys watch? I heard from a friend that it was good.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm watching as we speak -- it's lots of fun, and they've got some serious talent. (Although that makes me more bitter than ever about how little Food Network programming involves actual skill with food.)
eta: They're doing a rebroadcast Thursday at 9 and midnight ET, if those times work for you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Michelin has just announced its third annual New York City restaurant ratings. Jean Georges, Le Bernardin and Per Se remained the city’s only restaurants with three Michelin stars. (Alain Ducasse at the Essex House was among them the first year, before it closed.)
Gordon Ramsay at the London joined Bouley, Daniel, Del Posto and Masa among the two stars restaurants, along with Picholine, which had previously had one star.

In perhaps the the biggest surprise, Craft lost its one star.
Poor Colicchio!
And who is the chef at Per Se?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Courtney is Day 37 skinny already. They better vote her off soon or she will seriously have to be airlifted out and fed through an IV.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
airlifted out and fed through an IV
I read this first as "airlifed out through an IV." Which with her, might even be possible.
I never had any desire to eat at Craft. Part of the pleasure of eating out, for me, is that someone else has already done all the hard work of figuring out what goes with what, and putting it together in advance.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I am enjoying a such schadenfreude watching a snotty New York waitress much skinnier than me die by starvation BY CHOICE! Suck it, wench! Courtney, Jean-Robert and, um, the Christian lady just booted seem remarkably ill-suited to this game, and it's pretty satisfying to see them fail.
