Guess what came on tv last night?  The orginal Iron Chef!  Ha!  I loved that show!  And it was every bit as corny as I remembered.  But I had forgotten how sort of low budget it was.  I mean, all their pans and equipment looked all battered and, well, like it had been used in cooking competitions repeatedly.  

 I need to find some food icons.

Well, maybe it does come on Sunday evenings, I can't be sure. Anyway, I work then as well, so it doesn't make any difference.

It would seem weird, but maybe it is a different network. I mean, I watch Dinner Impossible sometimes, too, but as far as I know, Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares airs on BBC America. It would figure, wouldn't it? Too bad you can't watch Good Eats, it's fun. He doesn't just cook, he explains the science and why you have to do things a certain way, and does all these skits--really hilarious. Oh oh, and he did this mini series thing called Feasting on Asphalt, where he and a bunch of guys just went on a road trip all over America, looking for exactly the kinds of places I love, places that really didn't warrant the term "restaurant" Old diners that were still in business, country buffets, barbeque joints, even a few tea rooms, but nothing that was glorified enough to be called a restaurant. It was fun watching him and the camera crew just hack into a barbequed pork shoulder and eat it with their hands in North Carolina. And fight over the last piece of fried alligator in Louisiana.

Ramsay did all those shows? I haven't heard of any of them!

I noticed Ace of Cakes was on telly last night, but at 11pm - too late for me on a work nigh :(

No no no, not Gordon Ramsey, Alton Brown. I'm not so impressed with Gordon Ramsey, to be honest. I know it sucks that Ace of Cakes always comes on so late. I was able to watch it last night though. :)

Sorry, got confused! Ramsay has his moments, but you never get to really see him cook! We used to watch Hell's Kitchen but we're more interested in cooking than spats and drama. Adam does a funny immitation of him though, it's bad but funny.
