cosentino just emailed to remind me: be sure to tell them the reason we were sweating so much was because they shut the hoods off for audio so the kitchen temp was 132. no bullshit. Then again, I'm still dreaming of the iron chef DVD set where they show the entire cooking and judging process! I hope Ruhlman, you are as biting and fresh as Bourdain was on TC. That aside I really did enjoy it and actually think it's more fun for me to watch than Top Chef. Or Bourdain judging a competition containing an immigrant chef. But to his credit, I imagine he is probably not actually bugging contestants; chopping down a ton of activity in a 1 hour show will often put across the wrong idea as far as someone's personality goes. To have someone like Jill Davies in the same group as Traci seems more to do with dramatic casting vs. a genuine attempt to find the next Iron Chef (at least based on what we've come to know of what an Iron Chef should be). sigh...". Sounds as if people think the verdict was fair. Hong Kong, January 28 When chef Eddy Leung was tasked with cooking what was touted as the world's first lab-grown fish fillets in his kitchen in southwestern Hong Kong, he pan-fried some and deep-fri When she demurred, saying it would mess up her hair, he messed it up for her. (Sig lines are at the bottom of posts, not the top.). It's not like Food Network hasn't taped a show before. This blog is so entertaining. This is the Next Iron Chef America, not "Survivor". i'm amazed at the critical response to Alton. Ruhlman...Alton messed with your hair because of follicle envy, I did my hair like his for years and then gave up and shaved it. make a drama out of it. jop in omaha: in addition to culinary artistry i'd recommend the book by gray kunz and peter kaminsky on taste, can't remember the name. I thought Alton was good last night. i tried to be as fair as possible. That was the upstairs Americas kitchen if I was not mistaken and the upstarirs kitchens are not nearly as hot as the dungeons of the downstairs kitchens. I don't get any work done at my real job because I'm reading through all the posts! It's you vs Karine Bakhoum. The Texarkana Gazette is the premier source for local news and sports in Texarkana and the surrounding Arklatex areas. I probably didn't come across quite right -- he is indeed cheesy but in the same way a bad movie and campy sci-fi are cheesy; for me it is in all the good ways. one of the chefs was 1 Recap on FN's website, there's a clip of Ruhlman saying this. But is he a pud? * This is an Iron Chef competition. This is indeed harsh, but such is the nature of the world of the Iron Chef. Normally I love Alton too but he was kinda acting a little-prick like last night....kinda a little like Padma/collichio. What was that abuot. Not even the most annoying self-serving CIA student complains like that, sure there are rumbles, but I was suprised to hear "Bad Ass" Iron Chefs act like that, I mean where in those kitchens Mid July to Mid September they were there 8 days in August. Perhaps Alton could so a 'Good Eats' show to straighten out the confusion. While I'm sure the judges did a lot of discussion on what was the best dish, none of it was really shown on the show. A Capitol police special agent was quoted as saying that he pegged Angeli by his âunique attire and ⦠bourdain: you lost your integrity the moment you went on the food network... Sounds like Symon finally puts to rest the issue of Michael being a highly impartial judge - busted on the bacon ice cream. Inspired by traditions, 'Top Chef's' Whitney Otawka recreates unique dining experiences at Greyfield Inn. He is such a douche nozzle. Maybe I'm just comparing it to much to Top Chef, but the judges there usually discuss a couple favorites, and the least favorites in depth before the elimination happens on that show. But the Quickfire--uh, I mean the speed test--was great. Nothing personal against Jill, but c'mon. It was OK, not thrilling, and seemed to be way more of a TC imitation than Alton wants to admit. my favorite of the day was kaysen's squid, he would have beaten besh had his other dessert been stronger. Ruhlman- I suppose I am being a bit harsh on him but stuff like this kinda gets my dander up: "Are there any similarities between Top Chef and The Next Iron Chef? It was fairly lackluster, and overall kind of boring. "I guess my concern lies in the fine print from the other 'chef competition' show out there; the credits for Top Chef always indicate that the judges' decision was made with input from the producers..". I hope someone (preferably Besh) goes up to the table and give him some bad-ass chef noogies or something when taping's done. or at least get him back on FoodNetwork.... between you,Bourdian,Mario Batali,Alton and yes Emeril....they should put you too in charge and straighten out the mess FoodNetwork has become!!! My wife and I spent much of the show trying to figure out which kitchen we were looking at. What should be asked is whether the results of the judges are final or whether the Food Network producers have final say. ruhlman: about me being biased as a judge on food network... Let's just say I will watch and probably find this show interesting but it will still come in a somewhat distant second to "Top Chef" for me. but the article was not an exposé, and so the chefs obviously knew there was an article being written and are forbidden by contract to divulge compromising information let alone offer it to the media. morou was fast but really sloppy i heard. Granted they were in some of the dog days of summer. (Let the cringing begin.). Good enough for me. to compensate for the lack of granular sugar; and the use of milk, creme fraiche and olive oil seemed to work for most in place of the butter. Full disclosure: I lived in San Francisco for 8 years and always had great meals at Jardinere! I am very saddened by the news out of Cleveland. Alton seems to have a thing about hair. Once things actually got going I really enjoyed seeing people actually cook without the burden of dealing with whatever went on in their little penthouse before/after challenges. That quote was in a clip package prefaced with a VO that said something like, "coming up in this season of Next Iron Chef..." It wasn't episode-specific, but more a promo for what you'll hear from the judges somewhere during the run of the series. If you are just back from Chicago, does that mean we should await your post about the Charlie Trotter's 20th Anniversary dinner/weekend extravaganza, running the Chicago Marathon, or some combination thereof? Cook, and Respected patte maker and food journalist yes, but Chef?". [Read fellow judge Andrew Knowlton's comments here.] I just think it was a little too fast-paced. Ruhlman, is this new Iron Chef going to be in addition to the other four, or taking the place of one of them? The Steel Cityâs Brandon Moore became an iron man of the NFL during a 10-year span for the New York Jets, during which he started 142 of 144 games. Later in 2011, a Cat Cora's Kitchen was opened in Terminal E of the Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Episode 1, and Knowlton's already beginning to annoy me . chocolate goes great with savory ingredients as well as sweets, so it's not as big a stretch here as would seem. "I wondered about Traci vs. Jill as well...especially as FN lately seems to be all about the cleavage as opposed to the talent. great show!!! "todd: i too used to think the chariman a bit cheesy but I've really grown to like him--it's genius in fact.". They didn't say. No matter the quality controls (I recall Chef Gordon Ramsay saying, "Please, someone, hand him a rag before he snots in the risotto!") I was laughing so loud at the heat comments that I'm sure people down the hall heard it. ASX adds 0.3pc as trade wraps up for Christmas pause. Hahaha! Your email address will not be published. Tags, and here I thought PreservativeLadenTouchdownMom was merely suffering from a bad haircut and unfortunate Kohls-inspired wardrobe. Thanks for the suggestion. I am so sad to hear that the quality of the roe may have been the biggest factor in Des Jardins' elimination. >>>>"I think this is a terrible dish" things happen. Yes, that was me. Ruhlman, I'm honored to be compared to your mother! His job on this show is to be a bit of an antagonist, pushing the chefs buttons while letting the viewers know what is going on. Her public face is the soul of feminine charm, but she can instantly fly into a ⦠Regardless, I really liked the show and can't wait to see the rest of the series. And you call MY home city, the one you were just in before Chicago, "Helltown". Unfortunately my DVR killed the last few minutes so we didn't see the conclusion, but we will be watching for the next one. Brash and more than a little annoying; his performance on episode one ensures than I will *never* eat at any of his restaurants. Dear Twitpic Community - thank you for all the wonderful photos you have taken over the years. If my desserts aren't setting up because of the heat I don't need someone pointing that out, especially when I am in the weeds, that alone seems reason enough for a throat punch this is not the next top model, It's a bunch of celebrated chefs taking advantage of an oppurtunity to increase their fanbase and customer base. I've heard that Bourdain's buddy Batali is on the way out...will this new one be replacing him? bourdain: maybe we can add a new category for the golden clog awards, most biased food network judge. triumph and woe. Or become one of the thousands of small businesses joining our community today. Check out this index for easy access to all of our coverage of golf news, instruction, equipment and courses. What? She is, as she said herself, the most experienced (in years, anyway) of the group and her admitted confidence early in the show made her departure even more difficult to watch. I recall that he once mentioned that the outing of one contestant was "proof" that producers DIDN'T have any say on who stays/goes as they thought the booted contestant was good drama fodder. Am I the only one who was bothered by the too-close camera shots and constant scene changing? One small quip from the girl, the boy band looking guy or Ruhlman and onto the next dish. Wouldn't some of those ingredients not hold up in that kind of heat? We are fairly certain some of the shots were from Skills I & II. Don't listen to them! I said it. Same situation. Getting a new 'do will not adversely affect your journalistic skills. why would they compromise the potential integrity of the franchise if it really mattered to have ruhlman on the panel? Why dork around with executive this, and junior that? Denying that you know or favor him in any way is somehow unbelievable to me. I get more Johnny Depp circa Benny & Joon. I love bad hair. She has worked as an entertainer for The Olivia Companies, a travel company catering to the lesbian market. My 8 year old son picked watching the Next Iron Chef instead of the Packers and the Bears(intense Packer fan that he is) last night...He picked Besh to win from the start, which was some consolation when the football game failed to go his way (I say it's good to learn to have your heart broken young)...I ,however, picked Tracy and ,well, there you go. Des Jardins. Actually, he was lobbying to get Bill Belichick on board so he could fix it for him to be the NIC, but as you can see, that didn't work out and the Browns lost. Share sensitive information only on official, secure websites. I would, in fact, like it if they souped up the drama and cheese with the Chairman a bit more like they did in the original Iron Chef. Yeah, I know Alton knows what prosciutto is, but most Americans are sure they know what it is, and are kind of wrong. Does anyone know who judged the speed skills competition? Looking forward to the grilling poolside episode. Please, I beg one of you , make it happen. Maybe if Derek Anderson had Alton Brown on the sidelines he wouldn't have thrown those INTs. Prejudice toward Michael Symon - If anything Michael will have a rougher time, just to prove that you aren't prejudiced. thanks, how awful, hadn't heard, on the local news now. there will be more discussion of results as fewer chefs remain. significant enough? Who is Jacob Anthony Chansley? Does anybody else think Morou should have had points subtracted for working with that bloody hand. "I recall one episode where the Chairman was nowhere to be found, hiding in shame because his iron chefs had lost so many consecutive battles, yet we were treated to glimpses of him all of the time, looking in from the shadows.". 1 Recap on FN's website, there's a clip of Ruhlman saying this. Your email address will not be published. [23], In 2017, Cora began dating producer Nicole Ehrlich. I like Besh too but I now think this could be anybody's game. However, what a humorless grouchy-pants he appears to be. While he might not lead a kitchen or work professionally as a cook or chef, Michael is trained as one. Knowing is half the battle, Here's to more judges commentary and less commercial time!! Cora was born in Jackson, Mississippi, the daughter of Virginia Lee (née Brothers) and Spiro Pete Cora. See how you can piece things together when you use your logical mind? I read that post shortly after it came in and saw no reason to delete it. * I don't think most Americans really care what prosciutto is. As usual, Ruhlman you made the muddy water clear again...thanks for the non hint on the "spoiler"...The show kicked major ass and I look forward to the entire season. I think Cosentino will bust a vein before the competition's done, much as I like him. Oh well, I still enjoy the show. NEVER CUT THE HAIR! BiteNotBark said "I have to disagree wiht JoP that the chefs were hurt by the lack butter....." etc. Chefwannab wrote that comment. there was a thermometer in there, dude it was fuckin hot. Perhaps you should consider proposing Extreme Makeover: Foodie Edition. I love Alton Brown. contestants? and his tripe was amazing. From what I gathered, his point was not "Ooh! the guy is very smart and very funny (and his evaluations of the food were invariably on the money). On January 9, Angeli was arrested and... brought up on U.S. federal charges of "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and with violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds". [2] Her father was of Greek descent (her paternal grandparents were from Skopelos, Greece). Now Hell's Kitchen, that would be more fitting. I thought Alton was an amazing host as always and I'm glad he's finally getting to taste the food. Just saw episode 2,...looked like another 132 degree kitchen. [7], In January 2005 Cora co-founded Chefs For Humanity,[8] which describes itself as "a grassroots coalition of chefs and culinary professionals guided by a mission to quickly be able to raise funds and provide resources for important emergency and humanitarian aid, nutritional education, and hunger-related initiatives throughout the world. I was also surprised to see her kicked off solely on the salmon roe debacle. Bourdain NOW is more of a chef then you are. I had high expectations for the next Iron Chef, and it totally lived up! Like, no matter how cute the 3-year-old is, who doesn't look away when he eats a booger? There always seems to be a blurb in the trailer credits that says, "judges decisions were made in consultation with the producers." deacon: the voting was done by discussion, we hashed it out among ourselves, alton did not judge, though he couldn't help offering his opinion. I am not a chef. The Next Iron Chef is the first time a show has been made that captures the good part of reality TV with high-end culinary credibility. i don't deny there's a relationship. So I guess there are no guarantees. They had honey, maple syrup, fruits, etc. Also by the looks of his cleavage on Feasting On Asphalt(last year,lost weight since) it would be quite the show(moobs)...Bourdain finally checked in from England for his piece on Top Chef, glad he is alive. I'm just bustin your balls ruhlman. Alton is great and funny, always. I remember that! As for the 132 degree kitchen...Christ almightly! Although, I support the use of protective hairgear in the kitchen, and demand it in mine, I respect the artistic license of the flowing locks for tv. To answer questions from the previous post in order: Nic: Alton knows what prosciutto is; so much verbiage flows from his mouth a few slips are bound to get through. I do think that the true beauty of this is that he loves the show...as many commercials as there were, they were way better than the ones on Sunday night football...besides, I think I'd prefer he aspire to be a chef rather than a pro football player! When I saw shots of her dish with the roe I kept saying to myself, jeeze-peeze thats alot of roe, and on a desert!.. 'Baby, It's Cold Outside' bites back as fans embrace embattled holiday song Hoda Kotb in tears after Kathie Lee Gifford announces 'Today' exit Carol Burnett to ⦠Trump issued over 140 pardons and commutations early Wednesday morning to a group that included rappers and Republican allies -- but not his family or his attorney Rudy Giuliani. And regarding those awesomely long commercial breaks, did anyone else notice that the lady in the Banquet commercial was celebrating a touchdown - alone? I'm relatively new to your blog and appreciate being able to hear about all this from you. Thanks for the enjoyment. alton messed with my hair too, at the media party. I'm still uncomfortable about the Symon connection, but--on the bright side--you did a nice job with your comments to everyone and looked good (and, for some reason, much leaner than I expected!). professor: i'm glad you agree about symon--others did not. They are of marginal experience and talent.". Unlike other people, I think the highlight of the show was Alton being a bit of an antagonist to the Chefs. I figured after a tasting of all of the dishes there would be some judges discussion about what they thought, but there wasn't much, if any. Robert Paul Irvine (born 24 September 1965) is an English celebrity 3rd. I, for one, am sick of media and silly people porking up the term "chef". And you could be right, BiteNotBark, maybe it wasn't that difficult and obviously some of the chefs were quite successful. I have to say, as much as I loyally root for my home turf, I'm disappointed that Michael Symon simply squeaked by. AFI's 100 Years...100 Cheers is a list of the 100 most inspiring films of all time.These 100 movies inspire us, encourage us to make a difference and send us from the theater with a greater sense of possibility and hope for the future. Do you know how disappointed I was when I found out that Chairman Kaga was not, in fact, an eccentric millionaire with a food fetish and a glorious Kitchen Stadium? I wondered about Traci vs. Jill as well...especially as FN lately seems to be all about the cleavage as opposed to the talent. He seems to have excellent technique, and a creative pallette. Feasting On Asphalt is my favorite...tons of laughs.I think he has a very quick wit, and he and Ruhlman looked first class in their "dress up" clothes on the show.
