How much do I love CJ?

[apocalypsos]

He named his restaurant after his sister. Aw. AWWWW.

Seriously, this is like the "Why I Love CJ And Want To Bear His Fifty-Seven-Feet-Tall Children" episode. Heh.

EDIT: Aw, CJ, why you gotta pick on Brian? (Not that he's wrong, though. Brian was sweating up a storm but he's right in that it had to be hot in there.)

Also, if the snippets of her entries are any indication, the blogger's sense of humor is broken.

That blogger... honestly. I like white on black. I think it's a very clean look. But the rest of the look of "Garage," yuck. The judges had me growling tonight. Stop picking on Tre when you were complaining about Sara's lamb, sheesh.

The thing that bothered me is that they kept quoting that blogger when I want to hear from the judges. What do I care what some blogger has to say about it? Unless she's actually on the panel this week as a guest judge, I don't give a damn.

I am kind of glad they gave them all a second chance at this. Honestly, everybody always screws up somehow during Restaurant Wars. If it's not FOH being awkward and yakking too much, it's the chefs in the back screwing up the food.

Yeah, Restaurant Wars is fun to watch, sorta like a car wreck. It sucks when you're in the middle of one, but people slow down and watch the carnage anyway.

And I hope next week they leave the blogger behind her computer.

I think black plates on white would have worked a little better (black cloth shows all sorts of air debris) but it did not warrant the lambasting it received.

Really though, even if Dale has a weak sense of smell, how did HUNG not know that scented candles were a horrible idea?

Really though, even if Dale has a weak sense of smell, how did HUNG not know that scented candles were a horrible idea?

Here's what I want to know. He turned around and said, "Oh, the store didn't have unscented candles." Even if he's got a weak sense of smell, I have very rarely seen scented candles that AREN'T labeled with their scents. Even the cheap ones are labeled, for crying out loud. (I just pulled the half-empty bags of votives out of my side table -- the cheap-ass bag I bought at the dollar store -- and they're even labeled as "unscented.")

And I've also very rarely seen a place that sells candles but doesn't sell unscented alternatives. I mean, seriously. It's such a bullshit excuse.

[spyderqueen.livejournal.com]

I have been to places that don't sell regular candles unfortunately (and couldn't stay there long at ALL, most artificial fruit flavors give me a severe headache), however since the other team found unscenteds, yeah absolute bullshit. He did at least own the mistake, even if he had half-assed excuses for it.

And goddamnit, it's a team exercise! If you KNOW Howie's doing a shitty job on the Risotto preparation why the hell didn't you step in? It'd be one thing if there had been a confrontation and Howie ignored advice, but to just bitch about it to the cameras? A lot of these people are just thrilled to let the other people hang themselves, even if it makes their own team look like shit. *sigh*

And Brian's team? It's called PRE-WASH! You do it every time you buy ANY plates/glasses/cutlery/etc... precisely because you have no idea what packing crap has gotten all over them.

I should not watch this show; it's bad for my blood pressure.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yours and mine both. :)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yankee Candle, maybe? 'Cause yeah, places like that will even get to me sometimes. But a place that focuses on decoration the way that that place does usually has them. They might not be easy to find, but they're there. (I swear, every time I go into a place that has candles I have to smell EVERY SINGLE ONE. And then eventually I get to the unscented one and am all, "... aw." :))

AMEN. When Padma said, "My dish is dusty," I was like, "Smooth move, jackasses!" Sheesh.

And I was thinking up until then, "Don't pull a Mikey, Don't pull a Mikey."

I thought if they were going to call their restaurant Garage, make it look like a garage. Crappy name. The tartare looked good, though.

And I like smokey, burned potatoes. *rooting for Tre and C.J.*

Um, that's like every episode. ;)

I do hope they pull it together next episode, because I was seriously worried for Tre.

I'm totally ready for Howie to go home, though. Or for someone to teach him how to make proper risotto.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ha! Yes, yes it is. :)

I'm totally ready for Howie to go home, though. Or for someone to teach him how to make proper risotto.

That's what gets me, because remember the first episode when he made the sea urchin risotto that was so good they kept him even though he didn't put his frog legs on his plate? What the hell happened?

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

I seriously need a boyfriend like CJ. Then he could also teach me how to cook things that are not pasta and scrambled eggs.

Ooh, that's true. I had forgotten about that. I don't know.

I'm excited to see what happens next week and if everyone pulls it together. I guess Garage is going to have to change most of their menu, since the judges pretty much hated the combination (and I would not relish eating heavy risotto during a Miami summer), except for Hung's dish.
