In which I keep hating on Guy Fieri
I seriously hate this guy.
My mom and I were watching "Thanksgiving Disasters" on Food Network despite the fact he was hosting because other, less annoying, chefs had their own segments in which they answered people's calls for recipes.
The second to last recipe was for green bean casserole, from a couple who sent in a video. The girl starts off with: "I'm from a traditional Mexican family, and when I tried making green bean casserole it was a disaster."
HOLD UP!
What the FUCK does that have to do with anything? Was it a disaster because your family didn't like it (which I only suggest as a possibility because your boyfriend chimed in with, "help us with a recipe both our families will like)? If so, maybe you should have said, "NO ONE LIKED IT" because "disaster" implies you failed at following a very easy recipe. Just saying, I know at least one "traditional Mexican family" who makes and enjoys that casserole (HINT: IT'S MINE).
That wasn't enough fail, because then Guy Fieri decided to make the recipe more interesting in the worst possible way. He complicated the hell out of it and made his own creamy substance, instead of using cream of mushroom soup. That's fine, we tried doing that one year so we could have bigger mushroom chunks, but if that girl failed at making the simple recipe on the back of every goddamn fried onion can, that isn't really helping her. At all. All the other chefs did what they were asked: tasty appetizers that took up minimal time in the oven, pumpkin pie that didn't suck (she even explained why you can't use a carving pumpkin for pie, which the guy writing in had done), and this douche just waltzes out his "fancy" recipe with was just making his own cream with no goddamn mushrooms (which I love!), adding fucking red peppers (BOO!). Awesome.
The only cool thing he did was fry the onions himself, but I just love the onions. He's still lame. And his hair needs to go back to the 90s.
God, this got long. FOOD IS FUCKING SERIOUS, OKAY?
