'The Next Iron Chef': Lead and Inspire

I agree with Charlotte. I like them both. Although Besh seems to play the nice guy while Symon really is and you gotta love that laugh. Imagine what all those foody frenchies though of him when he was talking about ramming home the lobster hot dogs and then laughing like a mad man. Maybe I missed this but will the actual next iron chef replace one of the current ones?

I predicted this. Here we are behind Symon 100%. Way back from Melting Pot, I just dig his old world/home flavors and menus.
GO Michael!!!

Graduate school - that's work, I know, but it's my whole life right now...

Exercise is really important to me, so between school and riding my bike and working, that is when I am interested in cooking dinner and reading - if I don't fall asleep :)

What do you do when you're not doing food?

I mostly work (Medical Billing and I own a coffee house) and clean. Im a little compulsive about the cleaning thing. I spend my summers (and every other Christmas and spring break) with my niece Taylor who is the light of my life. I do alot of catering for events locally so basically, aside from bossing people around, watching my Thursday night fix of Grey's Anatomy, I cook. Alot.

I enjoy traveling.

I play mmorpgs such as Lord of the Rings Online. One of my toons is a cook.

I like to read Science Fiction/Fantasy.

Hiking.

Movies.

People watching.

Volunteer for a local UNICO group that holds a carnival fundraiser every year. I work in the food booth. Does that still count?

What do you do when you're not doing food?

I'm a reader too...although most of the time it leans towards magazines because they are easier to put down & get back to. I love doing crafty things...gardening...camping & hiking...listening to music. Like coffeefrappe, I also collect vintage kitchen implements, some of which I keep, and some I sell on Ebay.
I love to entertain as well....and I don't like help when I'm cooking...pull up a seat & chat...let me do the cooking!

Harold, iirc, they had 2500 pounds to spend, not 2000--but that's my recollection; I only watched the episode once.

Now can I admit that I have a massive crush on Symon? Adorable AND he can cook! Sigh...

There are some real themes emerging here; interesting...
I'm a traveler, start the engine or order the tickets and I'm on board. I used to read quite a bit but I think (aside from reading cookbooks cover to cover) I've transitioned into a web-surfer much like ChristinaINP; food blogs, news blogs, email, random stuff.
My musical tastes run to Blues and R&B. Socially, I hang out with people forty years my junior. It keeps me thinking and feeling young and they seem to appreciate having "experience and counsel" in the arena...
Yes, I love to dazzle people with my cooking prowess (entertain).
