Nookie is sad he never learned any Italian

Hello Platers! This week is all about Parmigiano-Reggiano, tortellini, and Bologna (the place, not the Oscar Meyer’s).

The teams stay the same for this next leg, much to the chagrin of Jenna and Liz. In fact on the car trip to Modena, Jenna berates Liz so completely I am surprised (and disappointed) that Liz just sat there and took the abuse. Remember when you promised not to be such a doormat, Liz?

From there – wheels of cheese, delicatessens, ingredients, and Ristorante Pappagallo must be found. The teams must master the art of tortellini – the quintessential Bolognese pasta dish.


Cup O’ Tortellini

Needless to say one team utterly failed and a villain lived to see another week.


Your day of reckoning will come!

Kind of a shame some of the better cooks are being sent home due to technicalities and gameplay. It seems this is becoming less and less of a cooking show and more and more of a bitchfest.  Oh I forgot this is Bravo.

That being said, there are people I’m rooting for and want them to begin competing individually so we can separate the talent from the attitude.

Full recap in the next couple days!

Thanks again to Jane and Blanche – you killed it last week ladies!

    This show has zero interest in determining a ‘best chef’. It’s more like Survivor with food. It’s a social game, a game where you dump the best chefs so you can move up the ranks, and some ridiculous scavenger hunt to start each episode off with, just so we don’t forget this is eff-all about cooking. And they have spent way too much time in Italy for a show that is supposed to be ‘Around the World’. Also, Jenna can bite me.

    I look forward to the full recap.
