I always had a thing for Cindy Williams as a high school buddy’s sister was a spitting image including the bralessness. I’m not doing the research of the roll call of celebs but I’d like to see which ones died in Hollywood stories of OD’s, murders, etc. Most shows back then were an endless parade of bouncing braless boobs whether battle of network stars, nighttime soaps, daytime soaps, carson, etc. we knew by 1990 network tv would be full blown nudity and fucking.

I thought it was good for a Friday night movie. It ain’t Bernie but few are. I want to dig up the original article from Texas monthly

I’m guessing Izard, or Tiffany Derry, or Casey Thompson.

The Nazi exterminations were horrible and they addressed the issue as an engineering problem, which in some ways is even more horrific. Firing squads were inefficient, they tried carbon monoxide in vehicles, until they figured out Zyclon-B and crematories. It wasn’t just 6 million Jews but gypsies, Slavs, poles, Russians, totaling about 13 million. I’m not dismissing the evils of Hitler Germany but often glossed over is Stalin’s murder of 23 to 50 million and Mao’s 40 to 70 million.

Every season has an event or two that is silly or nuts. The two I thought were terrible this season was the chaos cooking and the fish boil. They should have scrapped chaos and used the great Christina Tosi for a dairy episode, and found something else for fish boil. Both showed an overreliance on free shit or promo tie ins. Even the finale, in Curacao, on a docked cruise ship, was a Holland America commercial. I was fine with the supper club, the FLW episode, miller beer, whatever. And I think kristin knocked the skin off the ball. The best parts of the season was LCK and Dish with Kish.

But it wasn’t a uniform “medium rare” lobster. Tails went from overcooked to raw. Gail is now stating that the finale wasn’t close, that Dan’s tuna was horrible, though she called it “absolutely delicious.” They had months to fix the editing if that’s the case.

As long as you execute. Fucking raw lobster would generally be a trip out the door regardless of risk or edginess.

Any place that had a “martini menu” of cocktails just sold me a beer. But then again that’s all I drank was beer.

Watched it again. Savannah was a mess and spent no time in her unemployment actually preparing. I don’t get the recent infatuation with plantains, especially for folks not familiar with them. She picked out ones that won’t be ripe for a month. All three had questionable sous chef choices picking buddies . Dan had some odd choices but seemed to have better execution. He also seemed less prepared. Missed on salt on his first dish. As much as they harp on seasoning every dish should get a toss of coarse salt at the end. Danny’s mousse in the qualifier should have whacked him. The raw lobster should have killed him along with the weird stacked cabbage dish. Where did he win? His story. Tom is a sucker for personal stories about food and cooking careers. And Danny’s stories resonated with Tom especially the final one where he talked about getting a Puerto Rican ice from a street vendor with his grandfather and made a fancy dessert echoing that. Tom nearly started crying. There was no extended discussion at judges table. It was like they had to get off the boat. So Danny won it there.

It’s one of my favorite movies. No doubt it influence link later and dazed and confused. Maybe you didn’t live in an era of endless driving a circuit and the adventures that came from it.

Back when we only had 3 channels they made real effort on sports This is one of my favorites. From 74. I loved wide world of sports

I’m gonna propose you a proposition!

I think if there is one thing in the actual show I’d like to see it’s blind judging. I think what we see with women dominating ToC is because of blind judging and the domination of men on TC emanates from Tom. Maybe as kristin grows in the show she can push back more than Padma. The show is not what it was in its hey day. Mainly from the level of contestants. On peacock is every episode of TC plus the spinoffs : masters, desserts, duels, amateurs, kids. Bravo doesn’t do those shows anymore and there’s not as much hype for the show. Plus Food Network now embraces a lot of top chef talent. Lots of dilution. The constant is Gail’s magnificent rack. Just get better. I think the primary issue for attracting chefs is the time commitment. It’s a long commitment with no guarantee of a payday. Look at the folks here. Dan owns a restaurant but Danny is “planning a seafood place” and Shannan is unemployed having quit her exec chef job. Times are tough for restaurants these days and it’s probably a challenge for a working cook to quit a gig, vs the early days when the economy was better. And I think the winner is very flawed. The cabbage dish looked like a barnyard. Raw pumpkin. Gross. Candied fried seaweed. No thank you. Raw lobster. Raw fucking lobster! That’s as inexcusable as Savannah’s overcooked lobster if not worse. “Medium rare lobster” my ass. It’s obvious he was anointed by Tom for some reason after that shitty mousse. Savanah had zero chance; she could have cooked like escofier and would have lost. So there’s Dan. He outcooked Danny. But he’s not a New Yorker; Tom always goes nyc.

This was common in the martini renaissance 15 or so years ago. Some pretty spiffy joints would have a martini menu which was just cocktails. I didn’t like it then.

It’s obvious Tom has a hard on for Danny. I don’t like that shithead. He should have been in the bottom two and possibly gone. Actually Tom should have sent them all home in Wisconsin and said no top chef this season.

I don’t like the actor playing Mickey, who in my head is Wooderson.

My wife and I got married after work one night. I paid the preacher $50. Mom had a reception for us that weekend. She made some snacks and dad supplied a keg of Schlitz. That’s it. Other than extravagant funerals, big weddings are a ridiculously stupid waste of money. They are a holdover from royal weddings which merged bloodlines and political agreements. They aren’t for common folk. Women should be raised to marry a man for love and that big weddings are stupid. Get married at church after the service and pick up some barbecue.

James Bond says they exist so fuck off. Drink your malaria medicine. Gin is nasty shit. I’d rather drink Vitalis.

They are far superior to a Nathan’s Vienna sausage type wiener, or a Vienna in Chicago.

While I agree on the martini deal (yes I’m a vodka martini person, dry, blue cheese olives) I hate joints that basically call any mixed drink a martini. An old fashioned, Moscow mule, mai tai, daiquiri, G&T is not a fucking Martin.

Oh hell yes!

I never said all cops were perfect, and douchenozzles like the Louisville pike should be relegated to knobsuckibg a Paul Blart somewhere. Bad LEOs need to be weeded out by their own. But strapping on a gun when your shift starts everyday is a tough deal and few of us could do it. The biggest problem with the blue line is that it’s set up as an inclusive career that doesn’t welcome older entrants. Same with teaching. Both professions would benefit from encouraging retirees or middle age folks to enter the profession bringing some different perspectives and life earned wisdom into the occupations.

How can this not be the state taste smell and plate of Texas?

Hebrew National dogs, French’s yella, 1015 Texas onion, Cleveland Kim chi, best maid Texas jalapeño bread and butter pickles, dark rye. Hope the Chinet paper plate doesn’t disqualify me.

I can’t figure out all these blond folks on this show. They’re all fucking each other when they’re killing other blond folks.
