FX is on fire. Another great one. It’s raising my blood pressure but it’s damn good. I’m three episodes in — they’re all 30 minutes or less.

Hmmm, I see this is 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, plot seems good, and the two of you have great taste, from what I’ve read over the years. Might have to give this a try. And I was just about to cancel Hulu…

Really digs into the various personalities attracted to working in kitchens. A lot of ego but a lot of humility too. Specifically, I love how many ways these characters explore drive & self betterment through their work. Not unlike great new restaurants that open up in neighborhoods, I hope it sticks around long enough to be a truly great series but not so long that it wears out its welcome.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It's not a big commitment, either. Each ep is less than 30 minutes.Rob wrote:Hmmm, I see this is 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, plot seems good, and the two of you have great taste, from what I’ve read over the years. Might have to give this a try. And I was just about to cancel Hulu…

One thing that does drive me crazy about the show is how no one takes off their apron when they go out to smoke

RM is 86'd on a couple of key ingredients for a mirepoix, doug. I don't even think we're cooking with butter at the moment. Impossible question to answer.
