That top one is Jeffery SomeBudyErOther. He's an Iron Chef judge. I always briefly wonder about the judges on those cooking shows, don't you? Like, I wonder, ARE their taste buds really more refined than mine? Every time they have them taste something they have to describe it in the most ridiculous terms. Flavors are "layered and yet don't compete in their mouths", "outstanding main ingredient shines through the distinctive corporal melody with just a tone of heat as an afterthought." And I think, fuck, it's celery. Or a hot pepper. *
Maybe I'm just a dumb ass and a smoker..but, they kill me with the descriptions. Iron Chef judges also include that fat Italian chick who waxes her moustache and I know that because a "distinctive layered tone" shines through. She always looks like she's smelling a fart. Or pinching a loaf. All the judges on those cooking competitions look like that. I wonder what they eat at home? I'll bet they've eaten a lot of boogers and spit in restaurants. Bet they have.

that little piglet in the can is cute!
but yeah....i mean, what the fuck...layered flavors?!?! i mean, i know people go to expensive haute cuisine restaurants, but do they really savor each bite and discuss if the flavors are layered?? i bet they don't....people go out to eat to EAT FOOD and have a nice time....they want food that tastes good...but gee....that's getting into wine tasting territory, which is a similar crock of shit....
I make bets with myself on when one of them will say "could have done with a note of citrus."
I love that show but I skip the judging cuz I don't care who the judges think is the winner. I just wish I was the one tasting everything. Well, except for anything made with sea cucumbers, jellyfish or other slug like slimy creatures.
I'm a foodie but not a food snob. That's why I like Alton Brown which is the other reason I love that show.
"note of citrus" Lol!! Reminds me of pretentious cork dorks drinking wine. "barnyard" and "chewy"?! Quit showing off and just drink the wine, I don't care what you think it tastes like.
I dont know about Iron Chef, but my hubs said if he was on Chopped, he would just throw the whole basket of random crap in the oven and let it cook for 25 minuts and serve it to them whole......

You MUST be talking about Alex, that's a perfect description! She does look like she's smelling a fart. She always looks disgusted when she tries the dishes. Sometimes when I catch Iron Chef I find myself screaming at the TV, because of the judges, especially that old man in the photo.
I think the difference between them and us is that they've tried EVERYTHNG--twice. I for one don't care about food enough to actually eat stuff that disgusts me, like raw meat or blood sausage or haggis, brains, tripe, etc.
When I was growing up, I would eat or try anything. Not so much, anymore. Getting set in my ways, I guess.
I enjoyed the Japanese version that was on cable for awhile. The judges were saying things that sounded totally bizarre when translated, i.e. "the flavor is like a spring flower which opens quietly in a cloud-filled sky". Bizarre. But interesting.
Aw, that little piggy is so cute. The older porker above him, not so much. I find a lot of the American Iron Chef judges stodgy & ridiculously full of themselves. alex is also on Chopped sometimes, I find her irritating & whiny, I mean if you have people filleting, cooking & plating a fish in 20 minutes chances are you're going to get a bone or two, deal with it, but she & the other whiny one always take on like someone stole their firstborn or something.
Those judges are not nearly as entertaining as the Japanese Iron Chef judges, the translations were too much & the flamboyant French chef on that one made me laugh every time.
I'm a foodie, but I don't see any reason to get pretentious over it, I mean it's food, get together with your friends, eat & enjoy!
Why not serve up some Tuna Helper to them? See if they notice the layers of additives & cheap noodles and canned tuna taste. They may even taste the cardboard box as an additional layer.
LOL
Bullsh**!!!!!!!! & who gives a happy damn what those ppl think. Its just like movie critics. If we listened to them, nobody would ever see a movie! Lots of movies that I love, got panned by critics. It's all a matter of personal taste. Just like food. Eat it and keep your damn mouth shut. It all ends up going down the same drain anyways. & Yes, they have totally eaten boogers & ear wax & farts. You know thats a fact! I wonder if they noticed the layers & aromas therin??

Tuna Helper rocks. I turned a friend on to it, she's a real chef. She told me I was crazy, but, she made some and served it to her family. They told her it was her best tuna work ever. She was so pissed.
Oh, but you have to dump frozen peas in it. That makes it semi homemade. LMAO.
