No matter what happened concerning Iron Chef, I just wanted to comment on Charles Phan and his Restaurants. He is my son’s employer. My son shares a lot of the happenings @ the 3 restau. he works at; Out The Door, Heaven’s Dog and occasionally Slanted Door. He has nothing but praise for the organization, the food, and most importantly, his treatment as an employee. It’s an amazing place to work. It’s so good to hear such genuine praise from someone who experiences the establishments on a daily basis.

(Spoiler alert in case anyone hasn’t watched it yet.)
Ann: Yup, he lost. The “secret ingredient” was almonds, of all things.

Now that the show has aired, all I can say is that I think the “secret ingredient” was a little unfair for a chef who specializes in Vietnamese cuisine. Surely, they could have come up with a better ingredient than that. Sigh.

Ah, what fun – I am totally rooting for him, and have to remember to watch the show tomorrow. I haven’t been watching a lot of TV lately, but this will certainly be on my list. Hubby’s sports will have to wait.
