Best Thing I Ever Ate

Posted in Cooking, Fun, Too Much TV at 8:55 pm by Beau

FoodNetwork’s newest show and now one of my favorite?  The Best Thing I Ever Ate.  It’s the network’s hosts and other well-known chefs talking about their favorite foods in various categories like breakfast, BBQ, and desserts.  Whether or not these are actually their favorites is beside the point because it is an introduction to decadent, amazing foods around the US.  I’m busy trying to track down recipes (especially for that Stuffed French Toast recipe, stuffed with banana’s and peanut butter) and making reminders for the cities that appear on the show in case I end up getting client work and have a reason to travel there.

All of this after we get back from the Big Gay Cruise 2: Beau and Jeff Go Down (Under)

Because there can be no other than Beaker. He is my heart.

Oh Danny Boy done right.

And then there are the SuperFriend mashups…

The always classic “Wassup?”

The Very Best Reading. Ever.

“…Of course. You’re the guy who is always wherever women gather or try to be alone. You want to eat with us when we’re dining in hotels. You want to know if the book we’re reading is any good or if you can keep us company on the plane. And I want to thank you, Ray Don, on behalf of all the women in the world, for your unfailing attention and concern. But read my lips and remember, as hard as it is to believe, sometimes we like talking just to each other, and sometimes we like just being alone.” – Julia Sugarbaker, Designing Women

Going to Hell in a handbasket with Kathy

Posted in Too Much TV at 7:45 pm by Beau

We caught Kathy Griffin’s “Straight to Hell” special on Bravo last week. Not a secret that we fucking LOVE Kathy Griffin and this show is EXACTLY why. She is brilliant from start to finish.

I’m off to see Rachel Ray at her new daytime talk show. I love living in New York for being able to do this kind of stuff. Now if we could only get tickets to The View, all would be well.

Save the Cheerleader….

Posted in Too Much TV at 10:04 pm by Beau

We’re loving, loving, loving NBC’s “Heroes” and not just because I’m a comic’s geek. I’m validated in this by Jeff’s consistent assenting to my repeated questioning of, “do you like it? do you, do you, do you, huh?”

BUT!

I’m not sure I can support a show with the deep and philosophical motto reveiled on tonight’s episode:

“Save the cheerleader, save the world“.

Are ou telling me this whole thing is hinged on a Texas cheerleader? Fuck.

I said Auf Wiedersehen!

Posted in Too Much TV at 11:08 pm by Beau

Poo on anyone not watching Project Runway on BRAVO. 12 up and coming fashion designers squaring off each week in weirdo competitions (design a dress using “envy” as the theme) that put them and their skills to the test. The designers are all characters and honestly, having known a young, up and coming fashion designer for some number of years, it seems they’re all cut from the same bizarro cloth.

All that being equal, what’s a reality show without some ridiculous tag line used when one of the contestants is thrown off? Thankfully Heidi Klum as the hostess of the show gets to really vamp off it. Her intro, right before the runway competition starts always beings with the same speech: “As you know, fashion is about the now. One day yaw in and the next….(dramatic pause or forgetting line, we’re unsure)…yaw out. Blah, blah, blah.” But the best is when they toss the contestant off for horrible, uninspired, ugly work. Then you get the very Aryan handshake with a firm “Auf Wiedersehen!!” I almost expect her to get pissy with the devastated designer and give them a final, “I said GOOD DAY.”

Watch it!
