This is the 3rd time Elizabeth made a tasty dish with a bad name (hand pies, anyone?). I too thought "meatballs and grits" sounded awful, but if you take apart the components, it's basically meatballs with polenta, which is definitely a thing… and delicious.

I've never heard of that. How do you make it? Canned tuna mixed into a box of Kraft? Seared ahi over pasta with a homemade bechamel? Southern-style baked mac n cheese?

The irony is, "Texas-style pizza" could be a dynamite genre: smoky shortrib pizza, amaretto peach pizza with slivered habaneros, mesquite chicken pizza with a cornmeal crust . . . there's so much potential!

Graham explaining risotto to Cutter encapsulated Cutter's whole journey
on this show. He was capable of good flavors and nice plating, but the
guy doesn't understand fine dining.

"If you are the son of God, turn these stones into the complete boxed set of Breaking Bad."

Hard to believe this stylish, competent director is the guy from Master Ninja.

Ever since Peyton Manning joined the Broncos, we only get the "premiere" announcing teams (Simms or Collinsworth, ugh). I miss the B-squads, who would actually talk about schemes and defense and not just "that's a mighty fine quarterback."

Alas, by season 122, the humans are dead. There are only two dances: the robot and the robo-boogie.

The show used to be more diverse stylistically, but it proved a liability. Too many good dancers lost their fanbase when they had to dance in an unfamiliar style (quickstep, waltz, krump, the more technical tango, two-step, disco, conceptual jazz, anything international).

It could maybe work if RO + DA were real people. While I don't always agree with The Narrator, I respect his taste and his depth of cinematic knowledge. Pair him up with a sincere hedonist, and that could be a preview worth reading.

It's not canis lupus.

I didn't see the "blindness" dance. As soon as they showed Tyce onscreen, I left the room.

So You Think You Can Dance thread:

Completely agree about using tag-team for an elimination challenge. Absurdly unfair gimmicks are for rewards, MasterChef. That's like Reality Shows 101. You still get to use the "wild and crazy" footage in your promos without putting the top talent in jeopardy.

Joe will call it an interpretation on ceviche and praise the reckless Italian in her. She'll get double immunity and a new car.

When the judges ruled out dessert, I thought for sure Big Willie would make apple pancakes.

"We want to see creativity in this challenge." Every chef pairs apples and pork. Where's crazy, inventive Francis B. when you need him?

Now I really want them to make a can that says "Share a Coke with Jesus," just to see which political group freaks out first.

Watch Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. The "tourist trap" angle is a running gag throughout the first season.

If voters liked Jane's work on Hollywood Game Night, why not give the Emmy to Aisha Tyler, who's doing the same style of hosting, only funnier, on the revived Whose Line Is It Anyway?
