This Metaquote is entertaining, especially if you're a foodie/Food Network Whore, or if your brother has ever gone on at length about Paula Dean (i.e., "Matchstick, it mentions the buttered-beef lady your brother was talking about."). Also, it pokes a lot of fun at Bobby Flay. I...I hate Bobby Flay. He's such a cunt. He's trying to be this super-cool, all-American, badass, cutting edge fusion chef, but he fails so much. Maybe he tries too hard. Or maybe his idea of "innovative" is too formulaic (κακοζηλία, anyone?). Either way, his personality sucks. I used to be a total fanboy for his "rival," Masaharu Morimoto (that scenario was laughable, but the NYC battle was fantastic, and Bobby got a shock from his induction stove), but now that I've learned more about food and cooking (and possibly now that I've "become more mature"), I'm not as keen on him as I was. I think he's a bit too flash. Not that I don't still admire him. He's fucking amazing. And, like Masahiko Kobe, I WANNA PLAY WITH BLOWTORCHES! Seriously. Morimoto would always whip out a pair of crème brûlée torches and flambé something with them. Everyone wants to imitate him :p
OK, off to the store now, so I can get groceries.
PS, I know "flambé" is not the right term.
ETA: Fixed GRAMMAR FAIL. Thank you, Matchstick, for pointing that out.
