    Holy crap, I hope your dog gets better. I had a cat who got into a fight with a raccoon and got an infection in his tail that f’ed up his nervous system. It was horrible. Hopefully (s)he pulls through though.

    And another great podcast. Loved the Twisted Metal reference. I loved playing that game when I was a little kid. Sweet tooth (the ice cream truck guy you were mentioning) was definitely the most fun to play.

    LOL, great job

    Great podcast!
    Jillian, Hope your dog gets better soon!!!

    20:30 mark = WTF?

    Great podcast – wishing the best for your puppy.

    Interesting that Brie brought up Martha Stewart’s radio show AND you talked about Sunny Anderson. Just read on Sunny’s blog today that she’s filling in Wednesday until Friday this week on Martha Stewart Radio’s morning show, Morning Living.

    And I totally failed by NOT watching the “exclusive look behind the scenes” Guy Fieri Road Show thingy. I went to the show in Boise, just a day or two AFTER the Portland one. Honestly, I tried, tried, tried to watch. Couldn’t do it. Couldn’t get past the egg rolls with the Portland Firemen.

    Had to laugh at your “crumb bum scum-of-the-earth friends,” and the very dire thought of catching a case of “Kleetus.” :-D (May be hard to believe, but Kleetus is actually one cool cat. But, er, that’s for another show.)

    Anyway, before the Gweed-a-lama-ding-dong went on his 21-city, 30-day adventure, there was talk about his making a 6-episode series about it. Then it got pared down to a 1-hour special, which got pared down to a 30-minute special.

    And after hearing your review, I thought I’d try to catch a rerun of it. BUT NO! No reruns scheduled to air anytime soon.

    What does that mean, hmmm? The show was a total fail, even in the eyes of FN?

    • Brie says:

      It’s Wed AM and Im listening to Sunny now on MORNING LIVING on the Martha Stewart radio. Sunny is actually holding her own. This show typically mimics the energy of The Delicious Dish (SNL skit. Margaret Jo McCullen and Terri Rialto.)

  6. Minx says:

    LMAO, very funny.

  7. Drew says:

    i knew what you were talking about with twisted metal

  8. Chris says:

    Jillian’s rant on how FN has removed any element of viewer participation symbolizes the entire reason I love this site and despise the FN; keep it up!

  9. Ray says:

    Love the show notes from Brie. Hope they remain a regular feature.

  10. DMB says:

    Enjoyed the show. It’s about time someone put this network on blast.

  11. Mark H88 says:

    Jillian, Thank you so much for reviewing Sonic and glad you weren’t impressed. I live in Wallingford and I can not tell you how much I’ve been annoyed with people who are acting like this place is the second coming of Jesus. The first few weeks it opened, people were waiting 1-2 hours to eat a burger IN THEIR CAR!?!?!?

    No fast food burger is that good. I went to one down south and was not all that impressed, which is why I haven’t gone to this one yet. Maybe once the novelty wears off, I’ll try it again.

  12. Katie says:

    Brie ilove Martha! I’ll also play bingo with you :)
    Also did the doorbell ring at the beginning because my dog started barking at the door?

  13. carlos says:

    Conant acually does like onions, but not in every course on chopped, the references he was referring to are from contestants who re-use ingredients because they are lacking creativity, ALSO, the contestants he complained about were using raw red onion in salads without cleaning them in ice water first (which helps remove the strong raw flavor)

    • Mark H88 says:

      I agree. The onion incident has been taken out of context here. Scott doesn’t like raw red onion because it totally blows your pallete out and you can’t judge other dishes after eating that.

      Plus, I too saw that episode and after telling the douchebag chef not to use it, the dude used it in the next course, which is why Scott got so angry. It was a stupid move from that chef.

      • Dan says:

        He’s declared his hatred of onion and reemed out chefs for using it more than once.

        And by the way, it’s PALATE not PALLETE

    • Reg Dunlop says:

      Who cares? The show is ridiculous anyway.

      I like the concept, but when the ingredients for the dessert course are something like:

      Mackerel!
      Rhubarb!
      Vegemite!
      & Fruity Pebbles!

      Who gives a shit? Nobody would cook those things together.

      And every show is the same, someone always forgets to put the Fruity Pebbles on the Mackerel, and get’s chopped.

      Or somebody serves some meat product that is so under-cooked, you would get violently ill if you actually ate it.

      • Mark H88 says:

        Red Onions are way too strong to be used raw. Not everyone can tolerate such pungency and I think Scott has a legitimate gripe.

        and Reg, that’s the whole point of the show…that’s why I like it. The whole idea is to throw them for a loop and make it difficult. No one wants to watch a competition that everyone breezes through.

    • Lana says:

      Sorry guys, I gotta throw down my bullshit card. Scott is the ONLY judge who continually, constantly and with consistent regularity gripes about the red onions.

      They aren’t THAT strong-flavored. If they were, you wouldn’t seen HUGE bins of them at the grocery store, nor would they be listed in a gazillion recipes. I use red onions All. The. Time., never soak them in an ice bath first, and my family has never complained. Even the little kids.

      p.s. the “continually, constantly and with consistent regularity” is an approved linguistic phrase from the Department of Redundancy Department.
      ;-)

      • Mark H88 says:

        I think it’s unfair to assume that just because your family like it, that the rest of the world should too. There are people who really can’t stand stand the pungency. That’s not an onion, it’s a fact.

        Like I said, the pungency can blow out peoples taste buds and as a judge, he has every right to say so as a critique. I mean, it’s not like the chef was chopped for using them. I’m sure Scott understands that raw red onions are used in cooking, but he specifically told the contestant that he doesn’t like them because of how pungent they are.

        And since the idea of the competition is to make the secret ingredients “shine”, since red onions weren’t in the basket, why would you throw them in a salad? This is a competition, it’s not your family dinner. Scott is judging these contestants on something more than “this is a nice salad”.

      • Mark H88 says:

        **I meant “that’s not an opinion, it’s a fact”

  14. BCA says:

    Wow, I’m surprised you put my email on the podcast, thanks! BHT sounds like nasty stuff.

  15. Lana says:

    Oh good Lord. Pardon me for being specific. Include every fuckin’ person who’s ever eaten my food. Sheesh.

    Fact: The red onion is a good choice for fresh uses
    Fact: Approximately 8 percent of the onion devoted to red onion production, about 5 percent white onions and the remainder yellow.
    source: The National Onion Association

    Fact: Red onions … tend to have a mild to sweet flavor. They are often consumed raw.
    source: Wikepedia

    Scott could very well be a helluva guy, a great cook, restaurateur, business man, etc. But he’s totally whack when it comes to red onions.

    • Ray says:

      Personally, I love red onions. Yes, raw. Not saying I chomp into one like an apple, but I love them used sparingly in salads and such.

      What I find I don’t like is cooked onions.

    I LOVE THIS BLOG!!!

  17. Jaynie59 says:

    I have a comment about the prize money on Food Truck Wars that was mentioned during the podcast.

    NONE of these competition shows are worth the prize. Even Chopped, which apparently only takes a day to film, isn’t worth it for a one-in-three chance at $10K. Top Chef, Next Food Network Star, Next Design Star, Next Iron Chef, all take weeks or months to film. The contestants of all of them MUST be paid SOMETHING. Whether it’s union scale, or some minimum payment per episode they make it through, they must be getting paid something apart from the prize money.

    Contestents on Survivor are all paid something based on how far they get. These other shows MUST have a similiar set up. They have to.

    I refuse to believe so many people subject themselves to the humiliation of being on these shows simply to be on TV. To stand there and take the condescending insults from the likes of Padma Lakshmi, Bobby Flay, and Alex Guarnaschelli is just too depressing to think about.

  18. Jaynie59 says:

    About the viewer poll for Next Food Network Star. The caller who left the voice mail, and apparently the podcast participants, misunderstood that poll. Seemed pretty clear.

    The poll is to give one of the contestants their own ONLINE show. That viewer poll was never about who would win the NFNS, but who would get their own show on the interent. And all of them were still eligible even if they got eliminated.

    Also, how can any of you not know Ina built a barn? It’s been featured on her show many times.

  19. Do you guys have an RSS feed?
