Drama aplenty, but not much food.

Monday, July 2 WalMart turns fifty today, as the very first WalMart store opened on this date in 1962. Freaking WalMart.

Greetings, Gasmii! I’m stuck out of work for the rest of the week because all of my kidney issues ended up resulting in a hospital stay and some minor surgery. As a result, I can focus 100% on my recaps for you! That’s the silver lining in all of this. I also want to use [...]

Hell’s Kitchen goes high fashion! Still!

Fashion night finally happens.

Greetings, Gasmii! PopePhilly back in action after some minor surgery, more pain killers, stronger antibiotics, and lots of resting. Thanks for all your understanding with my last few recaps. I’m not back to 100% physically, but I’m making up for it in snark! This episode was (thankfully) high on cooking and low on personal drama. [...]

Tuesday, June 26 The Cyclone at Coney Island, the world’s most famous wooden rollercoaster, opened on this date in 1927.

*Before we get into any show stuff, I want to apologize for this being up a little late. I spent Wednesday night (my usual “Hell’s Kitchen” recap writing night) in the ER. It’s nothing major. I’m just passing a kidney stone. It hurts, but I now have a day to sit and write my recaps! [...]

It’s fiesta time!

Welcome to  a very backward episode of “Hell’s Kitchen.” We start with an elimination and end right before dinner service starts. I guess they can’t eliminate two people each week. That would make this a really short season. What this episode lacked in actual cooking, it made up for in raw drama. We see Kimmie [...]

14 left!

Tuesday, June 19 The very first Garfield comic strip was published on this date in 1978. Maybe it’s just because I’m used to what they look like now, but the original Jon and Garfield aren’t anything to write home about.  Jimmy Kimmel Live (ABC 8pm) Actor Mark Wahlberg; actress Mila Kunis. I didn’t realize Jimmy [...]

Welcome back to another episode of “Hell’s Kitchen,” Gasmii! Previously, the men were FINALLY able to finish a dinner service. The women nominated Barbie (of course) and Brianna for elimination. Despite this, Gordon decided that Roshni needed to face his wrath for her piss poor performance during dinner. However, it was Brianna that was ultimately [...]

Finally, a finished service. Well, half-finished.

Another episode of “Hell’s Kitchen,” another batch of completely screwed up seafood. Sheep are chased, lamb is served raw, Robyn and Barbie are paired up (OBVIOUSLY not in a set up by the producers to create more drama) in the challenge, and the women have to put testicles in their mouths. Sounds like a pretty [...]

Monday, June 11 On this day in 1507, a vicious feud broke out between two Roman families, the Gorgas and the Guidices, possibly over a scandalous woodcut. The feud would last for 3 tumultuous years, and many parties and gatherings would be disrupted by their duels and wig snatching. Finally, the ruling Medici, Lucio “Roller” [...]

Previously on the premier of “Hell’s Kitchen” the men and women split into two gender-based teams to be abused by prove their cooking skills to Chef Gordon Ramsay. Despite Chris telling viewers that it’s a fact that men can cook better than women (remember this), the women won the day by not screwing up quite as badly [...]

Scallops are forever ruined in the season opener.

Hello, Gasmii! Welcome to part two of the “Hell’s Kitchen” season premier! As BlueCanary said in yesterday’s minicap, we will be your guides for this adventure in cooking and yelling. Once again, our chefs are baffled by the tricky and elusive scallop. If that weren’t complicated enough, the chefs are required to make something that [...]

Gordon is back, with a new season of Hell’s Kitchen! This time, he’s looking to staff his own place: Gordon Ramsay Steak, at The Paris in Vegas. And from the look of things, this season is packed with violent white trash! Yes! All sorts of drama is promised as we meet the newbies, who have [...]

OK, you guys. Ready to go around the world? In 80 plates? Does that title make any sense whatsoever? Firstly, let’s discuss the ridiculous amount of cooking shows on the boob tube right now. Top Chef, Top Chef Masters, Iron Chef (original and America), Chopped, Food Network Star, Rachel Ray (all 10 of her shows), [...]

Just another day in Hell.

Silence of the undercooked lamb…

A high school reunion? What could go wrong?

Too cool for school

A day at the spa and a night in hell…
