You know when you're watching the Final Four and you feel like you're going to vomit? With fifteen seconds to go your team--the one you've been rooting for all season--is up two points but the opponent has control of the ball, and they're driving slowly down court hoping to ...

Tofu Steak Marinated in Beef Fat with Green Curry
I didn't get a chance to comment on last week's episode and I wanted to because I'm sorry but that tofu thing actually sounded really good.

Next week it looks like we get some more uptight-bitch vs Filipino smack-downs, and while that should be pretty entertaining, this week we got another relatively stupid episode of Top Chef.
Not being an Oprah supporter I didn't know who Art Smith was prior to tonight, but I have to ...

Although I braced myself for a biased portrayal of the pork industry as it shifted from the lard type breeds of old to the lean "white" meat of the 80's and 90's; and they were a bit generous with their ...

This season of Top Chef seems to be filled with more Real Worldesque drama than ever before. It's annoying and it detracts from what made the previous seasons so enjoyable to watch even when the challenges were ridiculous like that airplane one.

Does my dad surf the internet too much? Probably, but he did email me this Thomas Keller interview on Charlie Rose last week and I'll just sum it up with his words "23 minutes...but you'll want to listen!"

Although it's the one Ramsey show that actually irritates the hell out of me, Hell's Kitchen is back upon us tomorrow night and with it a local, Christina Machammer, will be hitting the national airwaves.
Josh Galliano gave me the heads up saying that "Christina is from St. Louis and used ...
