Episode 10: Tears of Mayo
That Iron Chef challenge was the real deal. Ridiculously stressful, the 1 hour deadline seems like enough time to execute 3 dishes, but its not. I remember after I got back from taping FNS, they started running promos for Sunday Night TV on Food Network. There was a shot of Bobby Flay during an Iron [...]

Episode 2 – Hell is Hot or How I learned to season food with my innards
Ok. I’m Sorry. I’m a large guy and professional kitchens are hot. This is a given.

It happens, it’s gross and I can honestly [...]

Thoughts on Episode One
Shout out to Megan MacDonald for THE INSPIRATION and WARMTH that lead me to finally updating this. OK. Despite the bread issue, I’m quite happy with the way things turned out for this epic first episode. I mean, our talented team took home a Dub, Que Lime Pie is now in the modern lexicon, and [...]
