Top Chef Masters

Posted on August 20th, 2009 in Food Opinion by Chef Jill
Ok, I have to start by saying that I normally don’t watch Top Chef.  I’m turned off by the bickering, bad attitudes and general poor sportsmanship. 
 
Now that that’s out of my system…. I’m SO excited that Rick Bayless won!  We had the opportunity to meet him at the Fancy Food Show in NYC in June.  (He was too busy serving us to hang out and chat)  He is truly a class act, and his food is awesome! 
 
I wonder if anyone has giving one of his cook books the "Julie and Julia"  treatment.  Tomorrow night, we make Ricks Chorizo!  If it’s anything like the Cochinita Pibil, we’ll both be happy.

  • Remember the uproar about MSG in Chinese Food years ago? So why has the prepackaged food industry turned to MSG to “enhance” their flavors? #
  • Campbell’s and Progresso are having soup wars over the use of MSG. Well, check your Lipton soup mixes and many other products-MSG is lurking #
  • Why use MSG, a flavor enhancer? If you’ve created a tasty product there wouldn’t be a need for a flavor enhancer. #
  • The best way to avoid MSG is to make your own meals from scratch., check your pre-made foods carefully, or hire a personal chef! #
  • @GastroGirls Celery Root Flan? Sweet or savory? I love Dr. Brown’s celery soda…it might work. Can’t say you’ll have an international hit in reply to GastroGirls #
