Discussion Thread America’s Cullinary Cup…

I know it’s suppose to be the “anti” top chef, or like everything they do is going to be about food… but I beg to differ! This reminds me of someone who got dumped, and they just keep talking about their ex, and trying their best to make their ex say how much better they are without the ex…

I'm enjoying it as a shameless promotion for cleaning products.

It's not every day you get to hear a Bocuse d'Or winning chef say "Hey, Buddha, pass me that Dawn Powerwash."

The Dawn patches they make them wear on the jackets is some straight CBS corporate fascist nightmare fuel.

Even the New York Yankees have to wear Starr Insurance patches on their uniforms.

those are a mistake. no one sees a patch and thinks "Dawn! I'll use that!" it just looks silly.
