I wait with bated breath, probably in vain, for the day that picture is run with a big red YES across it.

That was my question as well.  Or is it Jimmy Fallon?  Either way, I think this is a pretty loose definition of "elite" we're talking about here.

You know that Fraggles are muppets, right?

But you said…

The entire case of Mad Men are villains.  Discuss.

Yes, the overall quality of the food - Keith notwithstanding - was higher than it's ever been this early in the season.  There are some serious skills in this crew.  Bodes well for the rest of the season.

Wow, that's spot on.  He's totally Sam the Eagle.  I hope he says "You're all a bunch of weirdos!" at some point during this season.

I agree in some ways, and I liked Keith, but buying precooked shrimp is an absolute, unquestionable ticket to the bottom.  I'm not a spectacular chef and even I know that they usually taste fishy and "off" and that you can't really do anything with them other than defrost and serve because any additional heat - even…

During the opening montage for "Last Chance Kitchen," you see someone pouring a vat of liquid nitrogen.  That virtually guarantees that one of the Moto Boys is going to get eliminated sooner rather than later.

I've gone to many otherwise-decent Mexican places that served the tortillas cold; I thought I didn't like corn tortillas for a while until I realized I just don't like cold corn tortillas.  Same thing with non-Mexican places that give you bread that's neither fresh nor warm.  It's such a simple think to make it taste…

Tres leches cake is seriously easy to make - it's basically a yellow cake that you douse with cream and sweetened condensed milk until it absorbs it all, and top with whipped cream.  Insanely good, even if you start with a box of yellow cake mix.

If we're talking storebought ricotta, no question (in cannolis).  But homemade ricotta, now that's a different story.

I'll hit up Tim Horton's afterwards.  Gotta give that poutine time to settle, jeez.

I believe the word you're looking for is "hork," as in "this film will hork Hit Somebody's thunder for sure, eh?"  Me, I'm gonna pick up a twelver of Labatt and a bucket of poutine and check it out.

But Grimey did die.

Then the same dude got booted because he tried to substitute a vegan lentil patty for a cheeseburger a couple of episodes later.  This is a cooking show, not a lecture on the ethics of food; not sure why they even let vegans and vegetarians on the show.

My wife and I had a little chant going on during the episode, "Ty-LOR," "Bo-RING".  It's how we keep the home fires going, if you catch my drift.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did that so that, as a "twist" midseason, they can announce that the prize money has been doubled to $250K.  Nice thing for the producers to have in their back pocket if things get dull.

Yes, that's a soulful beard, much like Michael McDonald's.  I wonder if it can sing as well.

You sent a vegan and a sous chef from a bar.  Not exactly helping the odds.
