Most. Boring. Top Chef. Ever. They keep putting out drivel like this, and it's going to dilute the regular Top Chef. They already need to seriously think about limiting every conte...

They were in a steak house, and no one thought about doing a meat and potatoes type meal with tofu or seitan. Weird. I just can't understand how they all act like it's a shock that th...

Like some others said: get a cheapy stainless stock pot from a supply store, and save up for the nice dutch oven. I use them both all the time, and at the same time too. As I type this, I've got ...

We have to sweep once a week. With two dogs, the excess fur builds up quick. As far as mopping, I brew beer at home on the back porch, and the kitchen is my staging area, so it always...

I think it's a joke that Rick Moonen is harping about sustainability in Las Vegas. Please. While I appreciate the effort, he's talking about sustainability in a metropolis that was built in the m...

I love Kevin, and not because I'm named Kevin. He was more excited about winning a Pigs and Pinot spotlight as he was the $15K last week. Ash seems like a nice guy, but all he talked ...

Squash could make the United Nations place sanctions on me, because it makes me gassy in such a way that my farts could be considered chemical weapons. Please do not ever post anything about this ...

I feel like this season is a lot stronger than last. Kevin, the brothers, and Jennifer would have been shoo ins last season. Mike I is growing on me. Robin can't stop talking, and th...

Ron's paella: it kind of looks like barf. Robin: after seeing Mike I complain about her incessant talking in next weeks previews, maybe she is a weirdo. Kevin: love him. Not just becau...

Seriously: no more ceviche. It is as though people make ceviche when they don't have any ideas on what to actually cook. I'm glad Brian V won. I like that he seems to tailor his di...

Congratulations on beer making! I've been doing it for two years, and I think about it all the time. All the time. I really wouldn't recommend using the mouth siphoning ever again....

My splurge is on beer. Some of my favorites are $10 for a large bottle, but they are so good. Making extra quantities of something to use for leftovers is a good way. For example, I ...

It seems a little superfluous to me. It's beautiful, but wouldn't a bread knife sort of do the same thing? My Wusthof bread knife gets washed three times a day for it's various uses. ...

While it's clearly perfect for a bar of some sort, serving alcohol alone is probably out of the question. The City of Chicago, and out bunk-ass mayor haven't been granting liquor licenses for year...

Empty out your bagless into a compost bin and that will assuage all environmental/breathing concerns.

1 on going to Home Depot and using pre cut lumber. We did that last year too. I basically took the lumber sized how we wanted it, screwed them to some 2x4's in each corner, and fil...

I meant looks and brains kitchen. Not stove.

Yeah. The looks and brains stove. That one is in the Kohler showroom. My wife and I oohed and ahhed over that one when we stayed at The American Club in Kohler. It is a dream kitchen for sure, ...

Check ebay for this kind of stuff too. My wife bought a made in 1946 thick wool blanket last week for $1.75.
