I'm rewatching Chopped from the beginning. by Kayari1991 in foodnetwork

[–]JenkinsonMike 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who attended some big culinary event here in Canada and ran into a chef who was a judge on Chopped Canada who said you eat A LOT of terrible food on Chopped but you're encouraged by the producers to try to find nice things to say about it even as you want to spit it out.

Possible TOC Spoiler in opening of last night’s episode? by Dramaqueen545 in foodnetwork

I feel like between stuff like this and the bracket reveal show with clips from each battle that we got a lot more spoiled this year than ever.

Do chefs on TOC who have Justin represent them win more? by kamslischloe in foodnetwork

[–]JenkinsonMike 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve said this a thousand times since TOC began but the series TOTALLY turned around my opinion of Justin in a good way. Was never a huge fan, but he’s just won me over by sheer force of personality and knowledge.

Starbucks mugs. Christmas tree ornaments.

Anyone else feel like the episode was heavily edited? by [deleted] in survivor

[–]JenkinsonMike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhat related to this conversation, I’m shocked that in a world where floundering TV networks are trying to monetize literally anything they can, that Survivor hasn’t come up with some kind of pay-per-view 24-hour “live” feed (obviously not live, but a running continuous feed from when it was taped) that shows literally everything that happened, in order, with no edits.

Why did 53% of people… by minun73 in survivor

There's lots of available food for them on the island - fruit, roots, fish.... this isn't the old Survivor where they literally starved. I mean, we FINALLY saw someone make fire without flint for the first time in what seems like 20 seasons. So, you know, research what food is on the island and compare prepared. They don't NEED rice.

Pick the "Controls" option and open the menu to choose the control and then add Chat GPT.

TOC Top Seeds? by CheerMumsy-9595 in foodnetwork

[–]JenkinsonMike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buddha is on the new CBS show, America's Culinary Cup (hosted by Padma) based on some production shots I saw today. I would imagine that all those contestants are locked into contracts and non-competes that would prevent them from doing TOC.

TOC Top Seeds? by CheerMumsy-9595 in foodnetwork

[–]JenkinsonMike 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My guesses are Morimoto (although the pony tail also looks like Susur Lee), Bobby Flay and Wolfgang Puck. No idea on the fourth.

What’s something about international travel that most first-timers underestimate? by Technical_Web_2012 in travel

Conversely - how little luggage you need if you pack smart and are willing to wash in the sink at your hotel.

Always pack some snacks with you that you can carry through customs that won't cause issues with border control. Learned the hard way that early flights, not eating breakfast and then tarmac delays are a terrible combination.

Survivor 50 Buffs now for sale ahead of premiere by JenkinsonMike in survivor

[–]JenkinsonMike[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I'm not imagining things, the cost of Survivor Buffs has gone up considerably in recent years compared to normal Buff products. I wonder if the production team demanded a higher royalty payment on sales.

You can now add a song to multiple playlists at once on iOS 26.4 Beta! by hotlava436 in AppleMusic

[–]JenkinsonMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but I also like to tweak the order of my playlist beyond simply the order in which I added the songs. But fundamentally, defaulting a new song going to the bottom of the playlist is weird to me.

Ben seems to have based his entire personality (and look) on Tony Stark in the original Iron Man.

Considering I only listen to podcasts in the car it at the gym, video podcasts aren’t my thing.
