I've seen two kinds of monkey bread: yeast dough and biscuit dough. I've only made the latter, because I'm impatient, but is one better than the other?

Thanks for posting that recipe, I will put it to use when my son comes home for 2 weeks at the end of the summer. Looks great!

If the commercial is on, I'll watch it. He throws the sell out there with his own unique style. He's not a monotone robot. There's "Vince" in his presentation. Plain and simple ........... I like him. Vince is cool.

@Martini--I have one from Pampered Chef and it's awesome. I use a bottle brush to clean between the blades and never have any trouble with the blades getting hung up while it's chopping.

I can't stand Vince. I think Billy Mays is the Sith Lord and Vince is his apprentice. I did like how he threw the "bad" chopper over his shoulder. Would've been better if he'd also said, "Bork bork bork"!

Vince looks like he was just released from Rikers last week. Love when he disassembles the gadget - he's too cool for school. But I can only do this for 20 more minutes.

Love the mic and the cheesy spiel. I used to go to the state fair and watch the product hawkers (whopper-choppers, fuel saving devices, blenders, etc) work the crowd the same way. As a 12 yr old, I could spot the BS, so watched in amazement as moronic adults lined up to fork over their money.

I could never say the BS those guys delivered without blushing in shame. I developed an admiration for their ability to pour it on with such conviction. As said above, it is performance art.

Vince really IS strangely compelling and I'm glad you guys included him here at Serious Eats. I'm so tired of Billy May's monotoned YELLING through the whole commercial, you just tune him out. When Vince gets on, you experience the guy in the middle of the mall, doing his demonstration for the tenth time that day and really doesn't care anymore--he just wants you do buy the damn thing so he can go home. He's really kind of entertaining himself, in a way. I was so happy to see him pick up another stupid product that I MIGHT just buy when I see it on the "as seen on TV" rack.

And yes, I've used one of those choppers and actually, they're OK for what they do, but I'd rather get out my Victorinox knife and my German mandolin from QVC (it was a GIFT--but it's damn good!)

I used to own one of these food chopper things (different brand though). Has anyone else ever used these? I found them useless. Everytime I tried to chop something it would end up wedged in the zig zagged blades. I also found that if you didn't have a dishwasher and had to wash this thing by hand forget it. I simply could not get into all the nooks and crannies. Has anyone else ever used one and found the same difficulties or do I just have issues :)
