I haven't seen the most recent episode, but just once I would like to see what they can cook without all the time and money restrictions. I suppose there have to be some time and money limits, but it would be nice if things weren't so tight/rushed.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Go cheesemakers!
bless.

Yeah, I didn't think it was a lie because he said the people at the luncheon that the three hours the chefs thought they had was cut in half.
No, I meant that the people from the show had changed their schedule, so the time was moved up. That was artificial, I think.

Liese - yes about the rice (Hung totally should have KNOWN better) and about the cleaver.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
To me, Lia has a certain arrogance about her that her cooking hasn't lived up to. I don't know, maybe working at Jean-Georges gives you a sense of entitlement.
I was thinking maybe she's an excellent cook, but not good at coming up with her own stuff on the fly, but Ilan pretty much only cooked dishes very close to menu stuff where he works, and that worked for him, so maybe she was just overly ambitious? Or something? I mean, she must have a good repertory of recipes in her head that could have been adapted. Right?

Because books.
Oh, got it, Vortex. I'm not really awake yet.

That's sort of what I meant, she doesn't seem to be as creative as some of the others so, while she may be a great cook, she's not really a top chef.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I cannot believe I have to go on the rice rant every freaking year. Why does no one know how to cook rice?
Haven't seen the ep yet, but if reality TV has taught me anything it is that professional chefs cannot cook rice. It comes up in every cooking competition show, and on multiple seasons of Survivor. Maybe all restaurant kitchens have rice cookers or specially trained rice-cooking monkeys, I don't know. It's bewildering.

Yeah, I think that's right. Maybe she's just a natural number two.

In looking over the Emmy nods, I noticed Mia Michaels was nominated for her choreography of "Calling You". That was one of my favorite dances from last season.
