Ahh, I find the same things irritating! Mario used to bother me but I've
realized he's more of a real chef that Emeril is any day. Sarah Molton is
another one, how the hell did she become an executive chef or otherwise of
any magazine?

Well just how many candy shows can you watch anyway? Without a doubt those
gawd awful candy shows predominate most of the FoodTV lineup.

In spite of the warnings, I thought Bobby did a good job. His presentation was
rustica to be sure, but given the choice of dining on his offerings or Sakai's,
I would have chosen Flay's.

Other than the fact that he was out of his element, clumsy, in the IC kitchen,
he pulled off some yummy dishes I would have no problem ordering in a
restaurant.

I can't say the same for Sakai.

OH geeez.. why have a competition if one "should" win because he is on the
home team? Why bother?
I started out thinking Flay was in trouble, but his dishes ended up being
more appealing to me, but that might have just been that they're more
"recognizable" to me than the Japanese style food?

Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

In any case, after reading how the three Japanese kids who were kidnapped in
Iraq, were treated on their return in Japan....I'm not changing my mind about
taste and texture vs presentation.

You will have to figure out what that means....cuz I've had three really strong
fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and vodka on the rocks.

The whole time I kept thinking... what if the chef stadium had a third
arena, and I was the cook... damn, they would both beat the pants off me
and make me feel like Sheldon at the Never Never Ranch :-)

Both chefs' dishes looked exquiset and delicious, better than I could
do, even the trout ice cream. Flay's were better in my opinion, but both
looked very nice.

Have you ever seen a baseball or football game at the stadium? Did you
root for the home team even if they sucked?

I watched one of the Cleveland Indians' first home games after they got
decent players and went to the Series. I rooted for them, despite their
loss. Why? Because I am from Cleveland, and no matter how bad a
Cleveland team sucks, I stick with them. Only Tigers and Bengals fans
come close to that dedication.

Anyway, I root for the American chef because he is on *my* team.

I think both chefs had nice dishes, see my previous post, but Flay's
were slightly better (objectively).

I really do like Japanese people. Despite Pearl Harbor, I have nothing
but love for them. I hear about bad things happening to foreign allies
in Iraq, including Japan, and it does make me sad. **** politics, these
are real people with real families and real feelings. I have nothing but
respect for them, their countries, and their families.

Share, baby, share! I take it the vodka was more freshly squeezed than
the grapefruit ;-)

Dude, these were young kids...doing thesis on helping street children and
researching the effects of depleted uranium on humans. They were kidnapped and
their countrymen said they deserved it.The Japanese government is charging them
for the airfare to rescue them. Ya see, Japan has a honor system and these kids
broke it.

I'm with you. I think most people who rail on Flay remember either that
awful show with Jacqui Maloof or the appearances on the original Iron Chef
and Morimoto's whinging about cutting boards.

I like Boy Meets Grill, he does a good job of presenting food you can cook
reasonably outside.

How were they treated and why does it matter? I live in Japan and I
heard/read nothing out of the ordinary about their treatment. And only one
of them could really be considered a "kid" (he was 18). The others were in
their thirties, I believe (at least the woman was, the photographer I'm not
sure but he was at least late 20s). That's just the first group--I'm not
sure of the ages of the second group of two kidnapees. I thought
mid-twenties at the youngest. Of course, depending on how hold you are,
they could still be considered "kids" :-).

I've always imagined that I should like grapefruit juice. Whenever I have
it, though, I decided I don't. I have been making some nice strawberry
daiquiris, though (don't let Kay Hartman know). I like them. I'm thinking
of trying blueberry daiquiris next.

The other day I was at a bar and the bartender mixed grapefruit juice and
cassis right in front of my eyes. It looked beautiful! I love cassis, but
the grapefruit juice...I stuck with Kir.

I suspect it's because Emeril made FoodTV. IIRC from a bio show, he
was the big draw at its beginning, and probably still has a large
following.

I haven't paid attention though, isn't his domination of the playtime
due to re-runs?

Both shows run along ethnic lines. If the competition was held in Japan,
Sakai would have won. Both shows should have a person on the panel of the
same ethnic origins as the chef to balance preferred tastes. I though both
did an excellent job and would not have been able to pick one over the
other. I'd eat both presentations with great gusto.

From what I've seen Japanese don't appreciate the bold of American cuisine
and Americans don't appreciate the subtly of the japanese cuisine. It was
evident again in the second one last night between Mario and the other guy.
It's taste that losing the battle for the Japanese dudes. Too subtle for
the all American panel's taste.

On FoodNation, he's knowledgable and respectful of the disparate cuisines he
samples, be they fancy restaurants or people's home kitchens.

In Boy Meets Grill he demonstrates considerable skill and imagination in
presenting complete meals prepared outdoors. Man those fish tacos looked
great.

He's boinking Stephanie March.

I wonder if the trout ice cream cost him the competition. I don't know
how much of this was creative editing, but the judges looked rather
hesitant about trying it. Then, the reactions were ... muted, at best.
One guys said "It's really subtle... but you can taste the trout in the
ice cream. Sakai offered another judge some more, and the reaction
seemed less than eager. The judge said "this is what we call extreme
cuisine."

The final score in the taste category: Sakai--24, Flay--27 (out of 30
total). Admittedly, coming up with a dessert recipe using trout is
tricky, but I wonder if it would have been best not to try.

What if he was? Are you one of those homophobes that thinks something wrong

Besides, I think Stephanie March probably disagrees.

This already happens. I have about 10 porn pay per view channels, and
some of them have *** stuff. If my son were old enough to grab the
remote and switch channels, he would not be able to access these
channels because he does not have the password.

As for gays not having sex, how is that different from straights not
having sex? What does it matter if a chef is *** or not?

Maybe he is, maybe he is not. I do know from experience that the food
industry (the cooks and chefs) is full of *** people and they do
excellent work. I have worked with many gays in front of a hot stove and
would do so again if I were still cooking professionally. They tend to
be very skilled and have an awesome sense of humor. You have not lived
until you are stuck between a *** and a ******* and they tell homo jokes
back and forth all day :-)
