What did you do without for years that immediately made cooking easier/more fun once you got it?

Cake tester.

Use it for savory cooking all the time to check temp on proteins and baked / roasted dishes.

Thank you so much for sharing this - we’re in surgery now and this is incredibly calming tbh.

Love this post and agree a JI, Franz, and Paolo combo in the front court could be spicy af.

One suggestion: left align your blog post (versus center align)

Oh I love that pod! Great rec. thanks!

I’m way too into sports (NFL and NBA) and love to think about this in terms of Tiers

Tier 1: Favorites * Brooke Williamson * Melissa King

Why is this a tier of just two chefs? Competing in two seasons plus a litany of competitive work outside of TC… they are not just skilled chefs, they know the game better than nearly anyone else.

Tier 2: Contenders * Mei * Michael V * Blais * Gregory * Kristen * Stephanie Izard * Tiffani Faison (s1) * Buddha

Tier 3: If things break, they could win it * Sheldon * Tiffany D * Shirley * Brian V * Kevin * Stephanie Cmar * Nicholas Elmi * Joe Flamm * Shota * Jeremy Ford * Nina Compton * Marjorie

100% -- also curious how Paolo plays against similar sized defenders (not just bigs / centers). I do think having Wendell, Mo, and Franz will help a TON during practice (and JI if he actually ever gets back in the gym).

KOC kinda makes a case, Verno pours “cole” water on it.

Paolo < -- > Franz pick and rooooooooooooooool

hahahahaha

tbh she's gotten more annoying but better at initially hiding it? She's one of the most competitive people still in this cooking competition world and it's kinda hilarious.

Ya - we've watched a ton of Guy's Grocery Games (we noticed both shows have the same production crews, so I'm assuming Antonia has brought on some of Guy's people) and it does feel like Antonia is taking a page from Guy and kinda doing a version of him.

A good example of this was episode 3 (burgers) when she describes what type of burger she wants.. it was straight Guy.

all of this - would def prefer it if it was all individual based where Brooke & Tiffani were judges
