Rick Bayless interview from Bravo.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Indianapolis is really kind of a manufactured city.
OK, I definitely got that vibe in the couple of times I've been there (briefly), so I'm glad to hear it from someone who knows.
Those Jabbawockees seem like nice boys.

I'm watching the Child Star show on VH1, and it's kind of shocking how the parents are disregarding (a) an actual casting person, and (b) Danny freaking Bonaduce! I guess they just truly believe that he was a natural fuck-up, unlike their little darlings.

Well, you gotta agree that it's hard to take Danny Bonaduce seriously.

Except on the topics of how to become a child star and how to fuck up your career! IJS.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I thought that was the Different Strokes kids.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I don't know -- none of them would be the worst person in the world to give advice on how to become a child star. They were pretty good at that. For advice on what to do once a child star grows up, yeah, any one of our cats could do better.

That's the Waldorf Salad I know, not one with chicken in it! If you put chicken in Waldorf Salad, then it is chicken salad with fruit and nuts.
I don't see a problem with modifying classics for a challenge like this - just do it well. Colicchio was laughing at them for thinking their great innovation was not putting mayo in it so it would keep (urban legend alert) but the problem wasn't that, it was that their modifications didn't result in something good.
I was pretty disgusted all the way through this ep. And Jesus - I felt embarrassed for Rick Bayless when they saw those Quickfire things (and thought how fucking lucky they all were that it was Bayless judging and not Bourdain - if you'd treated a challenge of his with such disrespect you'd still be waking up in the middle of the night screaming from flashbacks.)
It was a badly designed challenge, I think, coming right after another catering type event. But their attitudes were appalling, and the general level of crap they put out there.
(Aside - did they not have grills at the party? I'll bet you could have put those corn dogs on the grill for a few minutes and come up with something worth eating. Idiots. But if they didn't have grills, why not? Has there ever been a block party without one?)
