Anyone here watch Food Network? I'm not a reality show-cultist but I watch whatever is most interesting on tv at the gym (16 channels! Woo!) which usually means Food Network (yes I'm aware of the irony.) Tonight on Chopped the four chefs had to make an appetizer using nori, maple syrup and some fancy cut of beef. Only one guy seemed to have any idea what he was doing, and then he argued with the judges. Then the one woman on the show draped the nori over her meat like a tent ;_; I didn't stick around to find out who got the boot though. I can't find any video from the episode tonight but I'll check tomorrow. On Sunday night at 9, Next Iron Chef is going to have an "umami-yakitori" episode. Let's hope I can remember!
