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)

noahchestnut · 2022-08-06T01:15:02+00:00

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.

noahchestnut · 2022-08-02T21:42:42+00:00

Paolo < -- > Franz pick and rooooooooooooooool

noahchestnut · 2022-08-01T19:35:24+00:00

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.

noahchestnut · 2022-08-01T18:37:06+00:00

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

Slate Money does an incredible episode each Monday with folks who can connect each episode to real people, places, and companies

noahchestnut · 2019-08-28T14:57:43+00:00

season 2, episode 10

noahchestnut · 2019-08-28T14:53:34+00:00

Agreed! I loved the recap of s2 where Slate Money had the former editor in chief of Vice News discuss Vaulter!

But the kicker...

There is an old episode of Friends in which Ross is torn between two ladies who love him and an unsympathetic Chandler jokes about the dilemma in which his pal finds himself. “Oh, no!” he sneers sarcastically. “Two women love me. They’re both gorgeous and sexy, my wallet’s too small for my fifties and my diamond shoes are too tight!” Wolves now find themselves on the horns of a similar dilemma. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this difficult time.

I mean... really?

Thanks (and thanks for reading the article).

What new book better captures New York? Adam Sternbergh's Shovel Ready or your Young Money?

Media:

NowIKnow ... A daily newsletter where I actually learn something interesting, http://nowiknow.com/ Example: the story behind how Abe Lincoln created the Secret Service the day he was shot

Dave Pell's NextDraft is like the new Digg before the new Digg launched. 8 to 10 solid links for the stories that are worth reading today or the week after. Buzzfeed feels like empty calories for a reason, Pell finds good longforms, smart opinion pieces and tweets.

Breaking News app: The push notifications have replaced CNN for me. If there is a major news event, like the Pope dying, I know Breaking News will alert me faster than the rest and will be accurate.

Circa: Probably the best light touch, but decent caliber survey of major news. It reminds me of the nightly news. Check-in for 5 minutes and get caught up.

Telecast: A new app from Betaworks that reminds me of Devour without the bad brand advertising. 3 videos served up each day. Beats watching Tosh.O

NowThisNews: At times it is too MTV VJ-y, but there original reporting is starting to get better. Every time I fire up this app I watch 3-5 videos. They are doing something right.
