Nope, that's what I heard.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

I agree that Andrew could be annoying but that the other guy is also annoying - so it's a wash.
I loved both the QF AND the elimination challenge and it was a bonus to have Colicchio, Rocco AND Bourdain.
(And to be cooking classics for these guys and to fuck up? Bad idea.)

Because books.
Yeah, that was an impressive group at judges table. Amused me that Bourdain and Rocco were at opposite ends, too. (Although they would have been anyway, given who they were "playing" that night.)
As always in the beginning, there are too many for me to start picking favorites -- I don't know them well enough yet. Anthony annoyed me, the Kiwi guy was cute and sort of clueless, and I felt bad for both Nimma and ... Brian? Whoever didn't know what piccata was.
I wish Bourdain was on every week. Although I did miss Ted.

Well, given that the piccata guy was, like Hung last year, somebody who grew up in restaurants I thought that he should have known.
In fact, how did Andrew NOT know how to make mayonnaise?

Andrew! That's who annoyed me! *I* know how to make mayonnaise and I don't even cook.

As soon as those two went for tomatoes for their chicken piccata, I knew they had no clue what their dish really was. I love a good chicken piccata, and there is no damn tomatoes in it, that's for sure!
Couldn't they have double-checked in a cookbook at the Whole Foods? I'm sure WF has cookbooks for sale.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm sure that's against the rules (like using a pattern book on PR would be).

Isn't piccata lemon and capers?

They should have known from the name that "tart" was involved.
(And yes, lemon butter and sometimes capers and/or shallots. It was mentioned by one of the judges.)

Yep, and a cream sauce. I usually have it served with rice, not potatoes, so those two were waaay off.
