  1. I haven't watched FoodTV for ages since they dropped quality chefs and
    programs and focused so much on all that [censored] they've become known for.
    After hearing about "The Next Iron Chef" competition on Michael
    Ruhlman's blog, I checked out the show on FoodTV. I'm hooked on "The
    Next Iron Chef" (I'm rooting for Besh, but really like Symon too!) but
    with the channel tuned in I've been introduced to this show called
    "Dinner Impossible" and the hunky chef Robert <something>.

    The premise is that he's challenged to cook for particularly unusual
    groups of diners with little planning time or help. He has to overcome
    odd challenges. Last week he had to cook a multicourse meal in historic
    Williamsburg using nothing fancier than what the Colonials had
    themselves. And all on short notice.

    Does anyone else watch this guy? Damn he's got some fineeeeee arms
    <swoon> His meals aren't too shabby either 🙂

    I've watched it a couple of times -- I tend to forget to look for it

    meals together...

    I really have enjoyed the Next Iron Chef.

    DH thinks Besh 'looks' and acts more like an Iron Chef; I like Symon, but
    his immature hyaena laugh gets to me.

    Both of these cooks have competed on Iron Chef America; Besh v. Batali; and
    Symon v. Morimoto. I won't give away the winner.
    They are great competitors IMO.

    I've watched Dinner Impossible, the Williamsburg one because of my interest
    in Williamsburg. I've not gone out of my way to watch him more often.

    That's one of the few shows I watch. But it seems like his head is too
    small in proportion to his arms!

    Did you know this web page existed?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_result_statistics_on_Iron_Chef_America

    Bouncing between that page and

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_Iron_Chef

    ....it can be seen that of the original eight competitors on The Next Iron
    Chef, only Jill Davie and Gavin Kaysen had NOT already competed on Iron Chef
    America.

    Dinner Impossible is pretty good, especially when compared to the
    other "obnoxious Brit" chef show, (Kitchen Disasters?), on another
    network.
    At least this guy could form a sentence w/o saying [censored] or [censored].
    (What a [censored] c*nt that other assh*le is).

    I'm still waiting for Kitchen Smackdown, Survivor Chef or Feuding
    Chefs, anything with a little more dramatic action than waiting for a
    roux to brown. I think NASCAR is developing a cooking concept using
    mid sizes RVs with propane kitchens. They're pairing drivers with
    popular chefs but having problems with cookware on the curves.

    I've been complaining about the fast/fast camera work on footnetwork. I
    don't mind when they are walking, speeding it up, but hey, let me see the
    food.

    Now lately I've noticed that the voices are being speeded up. Either that,
    or I'm completely loosing it!

    Ah, no. Kitchen Nightmares is great. I do prefer the British version a
    bit, because they do the turnaround without the network pumping in
    money for redecorating and supplies. Also, better follow-up with Ramsay
    returing in a month (or longer in the "revisited" shows).
