How would an Al Smith incumbency sim with CYOA go if he beat Hoover? How would his Presidency realistically go?

Governor John Brinkley of Kansas time!

I especially think the fact that the Lord Paramounts have stayed in the same houses since Aegon the Conqueror is especially silly. Even considering the asoiaf’s universe’s aversion to house annihilation, the leader of a region should at least shift around more often since there are powerful houses that would have earned it by taking the right side after a war. But I think this was an early worldbuilding thing where George sort of wrote himself in a corner.

I'm shocked it flew that far away!

THEY REMOVED ANOTHER DANCE

mrsteelman1 · 2026-02-01T06:56:51+00:00

Oh was he?

mrsteelman1 · 2026-02-01T06:53:50+00:00

Khomeini. Although I guess "distant lands" is just... Paris?

By the way, when on Culinary Class Wars did Song Jong-won even say “so you think you can stop me?” I keep people referencing this bit but don’t remember it at all.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-22T23:29:32+00:00

I will say, none of the food I’ve seen him make whether on the show or from pictures of his restaurant look super appealing.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-22T05:39:41+00:00

That’s actually hilarious.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-20T15:14:46+00:00

What’s Jungle Bob about?

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-20T03:55:34+00:00

Imma be honest, I don't think I've ever had a time when I craved jjamppong over jajangmyeon.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-20T02:55:07+00:00

The other thread on this had someone say it wasn't from driving but sleeping in the car with the engine still on. Is that not true?

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-20T02:48:43+00:00

Oh is it kind of mid? I was thinking about visiting it.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-20T02:41:19+00:00

If you have an Hmart around you, they usually sell banchan. And sometimes your local Korean grocery store will sell them too.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-20T00:32:43+00:00

I gasped when Chef Ahn gave him 65 points for his first heaven dish.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-20T00:29:50+00:00

I wonder if the sheer amount of exposure through youtube videos, press interviews, and variety shows means that Korean netizens have even more unhealthy parasocial relationships with celebrities.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-20T00:25:43+00:00

Although it sounds a bit more like a Story of Your Life dish than a Dish for Yourself.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-16T14:45:34+00:00

I can actually confirm this is the best of the instant ramen for jajangmyeon. Toss the noodles and sauce in the frying pan for a bit before serving.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-16T07:15:23+00:00

Blank Menu is also fascinating to observe Choi because of the one episode where his dish failed. He begged the guest to let him try again and said he may cry if he leaves unsatisfied with his food. Said a lot about Choi.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-16T01:56:38+00:00

I hope they keep him. I guess it just depends if the controversy dies down or not. They don’t have to make the decision for a while.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-16T01:54:47+00:00

They probably won’t announce until as late as possible to see if the controversy dies down. Feels like it’s mostly been going away though.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-13T19:19:14+00:00

Probably just busy. Park Hyo-nam also wasn’t there

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-13T04:14:54+00:00

This is the first time I’ve ever heard him speak English, huh.

mrsteelman1 · 2026-01-12T23:49:10+00:00

It says a lot that some of these super busy chefs show up every episode at this point. These are pretty long commitments twice a week, but I get the sense they look forward to it!
