Also I'd like to see roomier Starbucks. When I was a student at UNC I didn't want to wait for one of 20 chairs to become open so I could sit in the Franklin Street Starbucks. If I wanted to sit in a coffee shop I went to the Caribou Coffee the next block over where there were plenty of chairs on a good day.
^ I also thought Florence and Jacob (the owner of Food Network Addict, where the interview was originally posted) took the Golden Clogs too seriously as well. Jacob described the presentation of the Rocco, the award that Florence "received," as "chastising." I don't think Bourdain and Rulhman wanted to treat Florence like he was a bad child. I'm guessing Florence and especially Jacob misconstrued the fact that Florence said he wasn't attending the Golden Clogs because he was cleaning a fish for the BubbleQ later that afternoon. Plus Florence might've read that Food Network memo that Bourdain mentioned in his Travel Channel blog about not attending the Golden Clogs and decided to snub Bourdain on the basis of the memo.
I'm doubting that this current season will be on iTunes because NBC took off several of its shows (including Bravo shows) off of iTunes a while back. I don't know when and where anyone without Bravo in the States can see it. Hulu would be a good place to start looking for episodes but the service only has clips from previous seasons of Top Chef up now and not full episodes.
I don't have a winner lined up and I'm not going to say who I think may and may not win because I don't want to look stupid a few months from now when the winner is announced.
Recently Tony and Rocco were seen at the SoBe Wine & Food Festival together. Maybe they've put aside their differences. I'm very confident, however, that Rocco will not go home yet--I think Magical Elves (Top Chef's production company) wants him to show up somewhere else in this season.
Oh, I hate when my links don't work: Direct link:

Cary, honey, I've seen worse name-calling and taunts outside of this blog (i.e. Rachael Ray Sucks @ LiveJournal). I wouldn't give up on Serious Eats just yet.
As for Rachael Ray's show being allegedly canceled: it's a rumor, nothing more, according to the Huffington Post. The NY Post just hates people on the Food Network IMHO.
^The scary thing about that bread pudding recipe was that she didn't come up with that recipe; a fan of hers gave it to her and she prepared the recipe for Paula's Home Cooking.
Frozen concentrated orange juice and garlic chopped up and preserved in water or oil.
I don't really watch Paula as much as I used to. Food Network switched her Paula's Home Cooking late afternoon slot with She Who Will Not Be Named on Serious Eats, which conflicted with another show I used to religiously watch. (I'm embarrassed by the show--it's a trashy talk show that's not Jerry Springer.) Food Network moved Paula's Party in the same time slot as E!'s The Soup, another show I religiously watch and prefer to see when it first airs as opposed to seeing a rerun. I stopped watching Paula's shows because I don't want to follow Paula to her new timeslots. Since I'm from the South, however, I was not offended by her drawl and constant use of "y'all"--just those monstrous creations she made on Paula's Party.
Ellios: It's Ramsay, not Ramsey.
P.S. Paula Deen stinks, the best chef in the world is Gordon Ramsey.
I have to say I LOVE burgers, all kinds of burgers. Cheese, chicken, turkey, pizza, anything! Burgers with onion rings, burgers with bacon, even burgers with mash potatoes like the new one at BK! But this is not a burger. A DONUT? A FRIED EGG? That is disgusting, especially the donut part. Theres some foods you dont mix and this is the best example of that.
if the food is good do we really care what he put on his resume. I have the possible pan it is my absolute favorite.The only pan that I use now. I was really looking forward to getting the rest of the line and now it looks like that may not happen what the h e double hockey sticks does his resume have to do his great line of cookware. As a nation we are lied to and duped everyday about more serious stuff than this especially here in America. Lying Cheating and Stealing is the american way and is how this country was built as well as what it was built on and now we want to be all high and mighty about a resume. Please!!!!
i wish they would release a statement saying,"he misled us, it's not ok, but we forgive him and will keep his show"....that would be perfect.
because honestly, no one is perfect and i think his show was great.
My husband and I like to go to the Cheesecake Factory on occasion, especially since it's right down the street from us at the mall. It's definitely not awesome food, but it's a fun environment and the service at the one close to us has always been very friendly. The menu is certainly creative and there's tons of variety; the last time we went, we just ordered an array of appetizers to share as our meal. It's certainly not our favorite, but we definitely don't hate it. :-)
Eww. I can't go back to the cheesecake factory for these reasons:
1) Badddd service and rude hosts
2) I almost ate raw chicken (cooked on the outside... PINK and Gummy on the inside)
3) Cheesecake is only... okay
4) Menu takes about 20 minutes to get through.
So Rachel Ray is "Not" a chef. Duh.
So how the heck did she catch this star train?
She must have been born under a lucky star 'cause for darn sure she's got more chutzpa than talent!
Sammies and Yummos and E-V-O-O, Oh MY!
@wookie - I haven't been able to find White Lily flour in MI (Ann Arbor) either and we have a lot of gourmet markets! I'm thinking I may have to order online. Cake flour can be substituted or Arrowhead Mills makes a white pastry flour which is suitable, as well.
Right now, it's also any yeast bread. I can make a quick bread fine, but I am just finally getting over my fear of baking with yeast.

About: aspiring chef, always thinking too much and forgetting the small stuff
Favorite foods: I have a love for Italian food--I make it all the time.
Last bite on earth: Something from a Giada De Laurentiis cookbook, probably Everyday Italian if not Everyday Pasta, and hopefully I can cook it and serve it with a spot of wine.
