I immediately change the channel when they say "Next week, on Masterchef!:" cause I hate that

You can see more of his face than any of the others

I had the opportunity to listen to a fine chef in conversation the other day, for about a half hour.  He said "phenomenal" at least four times.  Not grating like Ramsay…but I began to think it's part of the profession or character of being a chef.

In the wake of the new movie, the imdb effect would give the 1916 short far more attention than the Streisand effect Warner is apparently trying to go for.

I was too busy laughing at how many restrictions the couple had about the menu to hear it mentioned that they are a flavor scientist and a foodie.  Knowing that, it's even weirder.

I can't say how Joe would like it, but in my experience, finely diced bell pepper is perfectly good as part of a pasta filling without being pasty or too chunky.  Yes I have done this.

Yeah, when two firetrucks pulled out of what looked like a two-truck garage, I wondered same.  Hey, leave one there!

I'm probably wrong about that, then.  I'm usually pretty buzzed by that time of night.

You'd take a firefighter to task for being willing to be on TV in exchange for a free gourmet meal with his colleagues while he's off-duty?  What the hell man.

I think Ramsay hopes that if he says it enough times, it will come true.  Which is actually possible for him.  People who believe it and go to Vegas will go to his restaurant first.  People who don't believe it and go to Vegas, will go to his restaurant only.  Profit!

No, tattoos are legit now.  Welcome to the 21st century.

What really bugged me, is they said Kathy's lobster was executed perfectly, while her salad was so-so (actually, Graham liked it).  And Luca's lobster was pretty flawed while his salad was fine.  Isn't the protein/main dish more important than the side?

Wait, you find Luca the *least* annoying?  I…how…uhm…  :backs away slowly:

I saw that but I didn't know it was Bjork.

A little man walking up and down.

Did not seem passionate or like it will fix everything to me.  I thought it was very tense and scared and uncomfortable for both of them.

Well, I'm reading this way late, but…
70s crime drama that's not overly serious and pretentious?  Check out Life on Mars.  UK series is not on netflix but the US version is and I liked it a lot.  Many funny moments and clever bits among the tension.
