I can't even remember the other scampi - do you guys?

I think it was over pasta. Pappardelle?

I have to give the Magical Elves props on the first episode. While I still don't know everyone's names yet, I was able to get a sense of almost everyone. I thought they did a much better job of getting all the cheftestants out there than they did last season.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really can't believe they didn't know what piccata was! And I hope the one guy was kidding when he thanked the other guy for giving him the "recipe" for mayonaise.

Does Erik look like John Schuck or it just me?

HA! I did not notice that. I was too distracted by how much Ryan reminds me of JD Fortune.

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

And I hope the one guy was kidding when he thanked the other guy for giving him the "recipe" for mayonaise.

I...don't think he was. Sadly.

Finally watched the ep, and I'm still baffled by the picatta thing. Maybe his mom was a really terrible cook, and had a potato/tomato/chicken dish she called chicken picatta, I don't know.

Also kind of baffled by the "Oh noes! Souffle!" thing too. They're not that hard. For reals.

I've never made a souffle, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing you can just conceptualize. Or no? Although I'm pretty sure I would have started with beating egg whites, regardless.

And I'm barely a decent home cook!

I'll admit I had no idea what piccata meant in terms of ingredients. I've never eaten it in my life.

I do, however, know how to make mayonnaise.

ETA: I wonder if the fact that Padma said her pizza was under-salted led Nimma to oversalt her shrimp.

megan,

that occurred to me also.

I have no idea what's in chicken piccata and I don't know how to make a souffle. I am also not a chef and didn't put half my father's restaurant staff out of business at the ripe old age of 11. Dislike that guy immensely. I loved Dale, the Buddakan chef. I also just had dinner last night at Dos Caminos, so to see their executive chef on TV was a trip. I really liked the Kiwi as well and hope he rebounds from the duck l'orange dish.

And Rocco was smokin' hot, and I've not been a fan before.

ION, Survivor made me cry tonight. And AI made me want to cry last night for very different reasons.
