Poor Tyler! I wonder how The Food Network forced him to suffer the double humilation of being dressed up as Frankenstein's Monster and haivng to fend off SLop's sloppy advances?

Yikes -- is this a cooking show or an ill-advised fashion show/boob fest?

Incidentally, that 'hands through the wall' thing is from Polanski's Repulsion but he got it from Jean Cocteau's La Belle et La Bête (Beauty and the Beast) and it was also copied in the recent Phantom of the Opera movie.

Nice recap, b.

Top Chef??

very nice B! The "I got one in my eye" shot made me LOL. So dirty yet so funny, which is a perfect combination!

B-Side, you've made me very very happy! She's so ridiculous and recappable ... it's just a question of making it past the first three minutes of the show without puking from the cuteness.

By the way, I wonder whether the farmer's daughter knows that there's a GINORMOUS leering jack o'lantern behind her? It looks hungry.

Sadly this boobiefest errr Halloween cooking special had a expiration date of last year as it's just a repeat. America deserved a new one not just a rerun.

I'd hit it.

Tyler was Frankenstein? Dang, what an episode to miss!

BTW, Tyler was at our local Borders. I never got a chance to get over there and check out the crowd and Mr. Frankenstein. Next time....

Top-Heavy Chef

"Let's get wasted on Boones and make a tablescape!"

LOL - this was awesome! I love your Food Network posts!

I watched this while drunk and bored, and it was probably the most amusing thing I've seen in a long time. Gotta love Food Network's afterhours programming!

Is that Tyler as in Tyler Florence? Isn't he also in Applebee's commercials? Did he lose multiple bets?

Sandra Lee is such a joke. She's got to be the laziest chef I've ever seen. "If you don't want to bother chopping your onions, you can buy a can of them at your local grocery! Now, look at my boobs!!"

I was sad to learn that she's from Wisconsin. I swear that we're not all so talentless and desperate. There are a lot of blond-haired, blue-eyed people, though.

Is that Tyler as in Tyler Florence?

"Weeeee! Hands!!!"

BEST LINE EVER. Sandra Lee is only good for the trainwreck value: people only watch her to be horrified. And boobs. So make that a trainwreck with boobs.

Also, I'm sorry: I love Tyler Florence, even with the extra weight he's put on lately, but after whoring his bad self out to Applebee's putting on costume makeup and talking down to Sandra Lee is a step UP.

Oh, how I wish I'd have seen this episode.

What cocktail did she make to go along with her spooky, pussy-laden tablescape?

You know she's a total girl-drink drunk (thanks, Kids in the Hall for that line), 'cause that's all she ever makes.

She'll make a girly drink to go along with the fanciest of meals. Kamikazes with Beef Wellington. Strawberry and Mango margaritas with steak tartare.

Seriously... how many of you out there take shortcuts when cooking? Do you actually enjoy spending all day preparing a meal from scratch? Yeah, SL is silly but I wouldn't say she was lazy; a lot of people, even pro cooks need convenience items from time to time.

I think "Aunt Sandy" needs to get some kids of her own! She's just a little too syrupy sweet sometimes with her sister's kids. I wanna puke. She probably is a really nice aunt and person though cuz she's from Wisconsin and everyone is nice there!

Tyler Florence. Great chef and cooks cool stuff but he practically pushes whoever he has on the show out of the way so he can do it all himself. He is annoyingly impatient and is also looking quite a bit chubbier in those sweaters these days. And then the show with Jack on it. (How to Boil Water) Is her name short for Jack-ass? She is seriously annoying!! I can't stand watching that show just because of her.

I freaking hate her. She is just useless. Another example of both how Armegaeddon is upon us, and the utter downfall of the Food Network. No wonder Tyler Florence looks like he has been eating entire half gallons of ice cream at a sitting. If I had to play second fiddle to her tits on a special, I would too.

Sanda Lee is really way too syrupy and smarmy for my tastes. And being a professional cake decorator myself, I have seen her shows when she decorates cakes and she is AWFUL, and also very unrealistic. Her wedding cake segment was absolutely laughable. She proposed making a wedding cake from packaged cake mix, and proceeded to tell us she purchased about 11-15 boxes of mix! Then she purchased countless tubs of frosting. The cake she allegedly made was positioned outdoors on a hot day and from the looks of it, must have weighted a ton! There is no way this cake would have stayed together (it would have collapsed in on itself without the proper internal supports which Lee did NOT use), and the taste would have been way too sweet, causing most people to pucker! This woman makes up stuff and much of it is utterly ridiculous. She doesn't know a thing about cakes, frostings, and most especially, working with fondant. What a hack! I think like most of these so-called lifestyle people, she will fade from view after a couple more years.
