Jeff’s up next and he’s made a Hot Beef Sandwich, that’s right you did.  Nigella loves the caramelized onions and Tony comments that somene either has the sharpest knife in the world or a Deli’s license and Jeff nods in agreement. Tony tells us that they slice the meat so thinly to increase flavor and it works better with the bread.  Your tidbit of the day.

Jeff’s Hot Beef Sammich.  Yeah it is. 

Ninamarie is up next and the judges get INTO IT over the sandwich. Malarkey says the texture is off, but Ludo likes the mushiness.  They are really yelling at each other,” Can I finish?!  Can I finish?!”  Nigella says it would be a great sandwich with a cold beer.  Seriously Nigella is the best. 

Sarah’s risky taco is up, and the judges comment that a taco is a sandwich to some people in other parts of the world so her risk pays off.  Especially because Tony really likes it.  Everyone enjoys it.  Good call, Sarah!

Sarah’s fishy taco

Diane’s up and she’s freaking out.  She’s second guessing her bread choice big time, and she’s not wrong.  They unanimously agree that the bread is the wrong choice for the sandwich.  Dang, could Diane be going home?

Scared Ginger Paul is freaked out – OF COURSE!

Oops I crapped my pants - AGAIN. 

But they like his dish, so he can stop freaking out now.  You hear me Paul?  Stop pooping your pants.

No worries, Ginger Paul.  It’s all good. 

Mia is up, and she’s superconfident because she made the bread.  BUT the thing is, how are they supposed to know the difference?  There’s no introduction, just a piece of sandwich on a plate.  That’s it.  Mia better hope that bread is really, really good.

Nigella says it has a strange taste, and Malarkey comments that his bread was really charred and was Nigella’s.  Mia is super pissed and keeps repeating that they should have noticed she made the bread from scratch.  Yes, honey. But if it did not TASTE good, it does not matter.

Uno’s dish is next and there’s some question as to whether or not she made her own bread.  But they kind of like it.  And the answer to the bread question is that Uno cheated and used premade pizza dough.  Which, given the time limits was not a bad choice.

Huda is next and she’s super nervous.  And she should be because Malarkey’s chicken is raw.  Huda is devastated.  I am grossed out.  Not as grossed out as I was by Ponytail serving everyone Old Cuban Man, but still.  Kinda gross.

    Danke for the recap! And for the quick education on the cuban sandwich. I have eaten and loved them (especially one made in Miami’s cuban section) but I called them cubanos. Doh!!

    While we may get the name of a sandwich wrong, people of all stripes should agree that Malarkey needs a good slapping. From the opening sequence on, that permafrost hamster on crack is at it. There is no live studio audience – why is he jumping up and down like he is on “The Price is Right”? I know that there is a good chef under all the botox and borrowed clothes from “It’s a Brad, Brad World”, but I wish he would not feel the need to fill up the hour with his braying.

    I don’t have any real hate with the contestants. I am a little sick of the bitchy Diane show. Yeah, people go through rough times, but not everyone feels the need to spit poison like a puffadder whenever the opportunity arises.

    Didn’t Ginger Gregg come into this competion will some swagger? Now, if Ludo tapped him on his shoulder, I think he would faint dead away.

    I’m always complaining about these women with long hair not pulling their hair back when they cook! Aren’t there health codes? Even the demo guys with facial hair at Costco have to wear little beard hairnets!

    Right there with you, eyediosmio, on Malarkey’s pants. WTF? I personally don’t really even care for that look on a woman, but on a man?

    Has anyone watched Restaurant Stakeout? The restaurant expert, Willie Degel, is SO over the top!

    I didn’t think there was anyone as vainglorious as Ludo but …. Drusinsky.

    I just learned that Sarah and Gregg are actually dating – gross! Ditzy and Arrogant together unified in one horrible twist of fate.

    Thanks for the excellent recaps. Now, I have to go catch up, since I do prefer zipping through the ads. I must say that Malarkey has an apt surname. I think I’ll make a sammich first.

    Thanks for the comments everyone!

    @LAC: Diane seems to be realizing (in real time, mind you) that she comes off really hateful on the show. If you follow her tweets, she seems somewhat regretful of the way she acted on the show.

    @Erik: Those two are dating?!! Makes so much sense! You know if this was Top Chef, we’d have to suffer thru 20 minutes of behind the scenes flirting – barf! For now, I’ll watch Gregg eagerly trying to help Sarah differently. Honestly, those two are the perfect couple, he’s kind of a jock, and she’s the pretty blond. Damnit, that’s funny
