do you think they are loosing there edge or are they still better than iron chef>?
Looks like baby
I thought you were Chinese! Black Chicken is chicken that has been marinated with tea I think for hours to give it that color. Probably some Chinese herbs as well.
Oh, and Geoducks look really disgusting. I don't think I could eat that.
oh, and that guy from NYC is not going to last. I think he may end up beating somebody's ass and getting aarrested.
i used to work with lia. i am shamelessly into watching this show. it's weird that all the chefs are professionals this year and that many of them already own their own restaurants, etc. it will make for better food overall, but there's something awesome about watching people totally fuck up too
dude, JOEY FUCKIN PAULINO OVER HERE.
Looks like it'll be a good season... Hung is good, I think I hate the way the girl from Brooklyn talks, and the dude who was all "DRAGON VERSUS SNAKE" was grueling me
nope!
but i did a search on black chicken and couldn't find much. i did find this http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/09/060914153621.htm it's also called "black-boned silky fowl" looks terrifying, especially that death-claw hanging out over the pot.
yeah i think having all these professional chefs will make it less fun. i kinda liked that belushi frattyish guy last season...mike? the one who sacrificed major items at the market so he could get his beer and stay within his budget. i was rooting for him even though his stuff wasn't that great.
although i must say i really like the challenges from last nite. i think an exotic surf and turf is pretty smart and kinda fun. all those proteins looked like science fiction but the aftermath on a few looked delectable.
great restaurant idea
They don't serve it up whole, dude! Shit is like abalone. In fact, a lot of Chinese restaurants serve it up as faux abalone. It's chewy. Not my favorite shellfish but it's pretty edible and doesn't require a ton of finesse to get it right. Like many kinds of food, it looks worse before you start with it.
And my wife is calling Tre as the eventual winner mostly because he's good AND congenial and she pointed out: the assholes never win the show because, in alienating other contestants, they don't elicit the best help in the finale.
Regardless, this season is looking good so far. I can't believe the guy with the eels didn't think to unagi those suckers up. Deep fry? C'mon mang.
BTW, have I never noticed Padma's scars before? Without belittling how she came about them, I like that she doesn't try to cover 'em up. She's such a better host than that S1 disaster.
And hey - can we have Anthony Bourdain as the permanent judge? Even though giving away his books was
Btw, am I the only one amazed that Rape Donkeys actually has a real world existence? In the cooking world, no less?
And yeah that's true about the assholes not winning, the last two seasons have sort of proved that the nicer guy in the kitchen at the end is victorious.
And as far as Padma's scar, I was checking that out last night as well. Turns out it was from some nasty car accident when she was a child, and it used to be a more gnarly scar. Some designer wanted her to be a model because he liked the scar. She got the scar smoothed out and designer dude was like
It ain't quite writing books about hip-hop but it's a start
Black aka silken chicken is used quite often in Chinese cooking. Nothing strange about it really if you think about it, just a different skin tone. I'm not walking around town pointing out black people and saying "DUDE YOU'RE STRANGE!". I kid.
It's easily found in most asian supermarkets.

Sayin. I'd find the cooking world a whole more interesting in comparison.
That said, speaking of books on hip-hop, Brian Coleman's "Check the Technique" = pretty awesome.
But back to cooking...
yeah that first host was robotic. did you know padma is married to salman rushdie? file under that rick ocasik/paulina & salma/richguy category
I'm not at mad at homegirl's mohawk but dude who's rocking one needs to just let it go and shave it off. It's truly
Beets,Limes,& Rice.
And I did not know this, but apparently she had a show on Food Network a while back ,so she actually has some type of culinary experience. She even wrote a cookbook for models, haha.
Yeah, she has more experience in the cooking world and just is a friendly personality, for certain. And yeah, Salman Rushie + her = unlikely but then again, dude has been married four times.
don't you dare bring race into this! i just thought it was on par with eating a magenta rib eye steak or something. plus the way they decribed the meat of the chicken as really tough did make it seem unappetizing
anyway these things are pretty cute alive and with death-claw out of sight
they're like little dog birds! i want one as a pet
Yeah, but am I the only one that the Spanish chef that won Season 2 was a little weasel? He would work up one chef against someone else ("yeah, he turned off your burner, I saw it" type shit), and then when they went in front of the judges and it was brought up, he wouldn't say anything.
You sound non-Chinese.
But yo, speaking of "your" people - not one, but two in the competition.
