What the hell did he need to do this for? ITA. He also came across very smug and arrogant. Every time Melissa would give him a compliment he would just sit there being smug. What a complete ass.

Jeffrey is in Real Estate, which in LA is tough market right now. It was never explained, but I think he had a restaurant before the Real Estate thing. Maybe he found his real passion was in food.

She has very valuable information that many people will be able to use their entire lives (like the 4 step chicken recipe). That is something that many people are going to remember and use for a long time. Nothing new... It's basically like making Chicken Cacciatore. http://www.foodnetwork.co...iatore-recipe/index.html It's nothing new to you, but many people in this country can't cook a thing at all. Many people can't make anything that doesn't come with a box. Your average person could make that recipe after watching the show without needing a written recipe. I suspect that she'll transfer to the early morning talk shows very well. X It wasn't about the chicken - it was about the process of dredging, sauteeing the meat in the pan, following it with aromatics, then liquid, then finishing with butter to make all kinds of proteins with all kinds of sauces. I thought that was valuable and new (to me) information.

Her concept for that pilot was much better than Jeffrey's, though. She gave us a very useful formula recipe that can be used with endless combinations of ingredients. He gave us a sandwich. Having said that, though, Suzie Fogelson's claim that her recipe was "genius" was stupid. As someone in the food world, she should know that there are tons of formula recipes like that out there. Melissa didn't invent the concept. I was surprised that they didn't call Jeffrey out for using harissa but not actually telling us what's in the stuff. All he said that it's a key seasoning ingredient in North African cooking. It's a chili pepper and spice paste. If this had not been the finale, he would have been in trouble for not giving the viewer more info when using an exotic ingredient. Also, I thought "cooking without borders" sounded much better than "the ingredient smuggler". I like Alton Brown, but WTF? Hooray for Melissa not sharing another uncomfortable family tragedy story. Let's hope they give her a talking to about that. Not that I'll be watching her show anyway. FN seems to only be concerned with the stay at home mom. Last Edited By: Kenscookie 08/03/09 11:34 AM.

I actually liked his concept because I personally would love a show that concentrates on introducing new ingredients and teaching about seasonings, but geez....how can you watch someone cook who doesn't even know how to wash his greasy, stringy hair!?!? Ugh!

There are apparently already "enough" minorities on the FN, so a minority couldn't have won either.

Also if choosing a minority was the goal they probably would have gone for Debbie or Jamika. After watching them film the pilots, Jamika could have easily been 'coached' by a good Director (Alton) to be more relaxed in front of the camera. I saw Melissa falling into her harried housewife routine and Alton calmly stopping her same w/Jeffry when he forgot to look up and smile.

Either way, I'm just glad I don't have to see the fug anymore every time I turn on FN.

Gee maybe you should explain the exotic smuggled crap paste a little better since we can't taste it, freako. And Bitchface only won because she's less likely to get caught in a horrible sex scandal. Yes, people need mnemonics to remember how to fry a piece of meat with onions.

I mean WTF? He kept mentioning he made crepes with his daughter blah blah blah. HEY JEFFREY, YOU HAVE A SON TOO and from the looks of it it appeared the kid was helping you make crepes along with your daughter. I wonder if that made his son feel like shit. Maybe the editors are to blame.

She talked about back when she was working "80" hours as a mom (I don't buy that for a minute), and yet all season has stated and acted like she'd been a stay-at-home mom forever, too....but her oldest is 4? Something smells fishy in Texas.

Thoughts: Is 5 minute potato gratins a typo? Because with 15 minutes of prep and 40 minutes of cooking, they're actually 55 minute potato gratins. I made it in one large dish and seasoned each layer of potatoes with salt, pepper, green onions and cheese. Came out delicious but I'd like to try it with a lighter cream. The sauce for the chicken - just a bit too lemony. I'd probably try it next time with 1 to 2 lemons and maybe a little more chicken broth and wine. The spinach: why on earth would you microwave fresh spinach for 5 minutes?!? I sauteed it in a pan with some butter for just a few minutes. It wilts so quickly - why would Melissa advocate microwaving it for 5 minutes? Yuck. I really liked Jeffrey's recipes, but his attitude was a big turnoff. I'm wondering how much of it was editing.
