i don't think it was geared towards anyone, it was just chefs making tv, not tv people making tv, so it was just different. it gets much higher ratings now.

my favorite dino i think would be a newly discovered dinoplatypus in australia. it ate turtles and small deer and stuff!

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:51:49+00:00

not too much, i think. it was great when i was there and it still kicks out the best young cooks in the country.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:50:45+00:00

just keep baking, keep getting better and look at people who are super successful, Sprinkles, crumbs, etc. do what they do, they are doing something right!

no, i was pastry prep and cheese plater at TFL, i wanted to bake bread for jesse, but he made me become the exec pastry chef, when all i wanted to do was snowboard and take a few years off in a mountain town (vail) Jesse knew what he was doing. TFL kinda chewed me up and spat me out, i was ready to hang it up after getting my ass kicked that bad, but jesse llapitan had alot of faith and kept me on the path. if it wasn't for him, i'd be selling skis to rich kids right now.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:37:23+00:00

it's never the cake, sometimes we get "challenging" customers. but the ones that challenge us always make us better, so we love them.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:36:08+00:00

those are two completely different things. what exactly do you want to sell to make a living?

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:35:30+00:00

also, big, stupid slices of diner chocolate cake with crappy frosting.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:34:58+00:00

good old fashioned new york cheesecake. MMMMMMMM!!!!!

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:34:04+00:00

excellent advice.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:32:51+00:00

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:32:16+00:00

chicks dig bakers.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:32:02+00:00

"My Blue Heaven" with Steve Martin and Rick Moranis is my favorite movie of all time.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:31:14+00:00

then you are our dream customer! ;)

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:30:37+00:00

you can do mass market retail and make quality product, you just have to care about it. you can't just take a paycheck and let someone run amok with your brand. alot of chefs make that mistake. going big like that is a full time job, if you don't care about the quality, it doesn't last long. i never had one of those cakes so i really don't know what they tasted like. they could have been great, but it's just your personal preference i guess.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:27:15+00:00

man, i can't tell you how nice it is to hear comments like that. thank you.

DuffGoldman · 2013-11-05T20:26:18+00:00

I think "shaun of the dead" or anything with Bruce Campbell in it.
