Variations on a theme, with chips and spicy in all your concoctions.C’mon, now— I like a mixed handful or cupful, and either the chips are too big or they end up as broken bits and pieces on the bottom. And I can see one or two of your offerings as spicy, but all of them? Jalapeño flavoring always seems chemically…

And on site—half these doofs don’t even show up, or come in for a little bit to loiter and not much else. You have to show up present and accounted for and keep an eye on things, manage and control, back AND front of house.

I think you are right—she was insufferable and lazy, making bad vegetarian food and blaming everyone else for the troubles. I remember he made several hundred Euros during that simple lunch, by himself--it always makes me laugh to think about it many years later! 

Yes, about a third have a little kitchen skill and think they have some magic talent, another third have no skill but see a popular restaurant and think “I could run that, and make money!” and the last bunch who assume it is going to be all accolades and glory but have not a clue. The amount of money used to start up…

My favorite UK episode was the lady with the bistro, she never even showed up for lunch service (not enough business to be worth it, per her calculations) so GR whips up a soup special for a reasonable price, opens the place for lunch while servicing and bussing tables, etc., all by himself and he has a crowd—does…

Yes how many times has he gone in to find stock piled items, brought in frozen and even precooked to heat up for serving, thinking they are fooling someone?

It is incredible the lack of awareness of both the day-to-day operations and the business side while investing sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars into something they haven’t even researched?! They have some weirdly romantic notion about the title of ownership and little else. 

Tabitha, like Gordon, exposed how many people get into a business with no idea how to financially manage it, and/or do not take into account the everyday difficulty, while having some dreamy idea of what being an owner/manager entails!?

I do like the Tacos now and again, but the best thing about JITB is they are kind of various and sundry with their options. Lots of breakfast items, as well as the burgers, the grilled sandwiches, tacos, various chicken items—you can find something you like most times of the day. I used to love their Fajita Pita for a…

Tuning in Tokyo is hilarious! I thought maybe she had two half unripe cantaloupes nailed on a board under that dress.

“My keys are...wait, I haven’t driven since that last DUI?!”

Showtime? They have no problem running (what seemed like) 85 seasons of Shameless, and running countless other series into the ground, but this Doc is not interesting enough? Perhaps trying to make some back deal with CK? Or merger has them hacking content as fast as Max? I was thinking it would be interesting to see,…

Well she got a little worked up, did you see him? He was pawing her like he was looking for a lost pack of Nicorette under her dress around her poorly implanted chi-chis.

He has a lot of respect and a long writing resume; his is the one show I honestly miss during this strike.

Evan Adams DOES need a series ( He is a Deputy Chief Medical Officer in Canada for First Nation Health Authority) but I am not picky whether it would be a new premise, a reality based series based on his current profession or a Thomas Builds-The-Fire continuation.

Anthony Jeselnik has a line (paraphrased) that the biggest tragedy of 9/11 was Dennis Miller’s comedy career. 

Big Bowl Of Wrong. Meyers to me is the one who can do it all— run a show, write, perform and is not easily shook. Great staff, deep bench. Has a lot of friends in and out of the “bizness” and his A Closer Look is the one thing desperately missing through all the headlines right now.

The pronunciation was a toothache level pain for me. TACK-HOES—after Hollywood was with Marcela Valladolid, I am sure the word came up at some point for reference. 

Yeah your instance is legit--if you are not a user and suddenly startled to hear a voice at a strange place while in a deep sleep, announce the time... “Uh, is she announcing my TOD so the coroner will have an accurate depiction?” But people who have the device on whisper mode should not be as alarmed.

Aha—-Well, even if I don’t agree, I can’t argue with your perception. I feel the same way about Oliver Stone—he has to bludgeon you with every point to an insulting degreee, and even if the content and the story is sound, his lack of subtlety ruins almost every one of his films for me. Why say it once when 1700…
