She's not home yet but I'll ask her when she does. I'm pretty sure they're nothing special, she's an bank teller. =)

It's hard to say...I don't want to give bad advice.

In my opinion, most things made after the first couple episodes (maybe excluding a few quick fires) were really really good. What the judges say is bad, when presented to you in a nice restaurant, and if you don't have the mindset of "judging", just a regular patron, you would most likely be completely satisfied.

I am very satisfied, I honestly didn't expect to make it as far as I did.

I am not the winner.

ChopTef · 2 years

Confirmed, I am one of them. =)

That sounds interesting. PBJ is one of my favorites actually. I usually use almond butter, but I toast one piece of bread, but a thin layer of honey on each side of it, followed by a layer of almond butter, each side as well. Take two more peices (untoasted) and apply jelly to taste, I'm pretty liberal with it.

Stick together, cut in half and serve with an ice cold glass of milk and possibly some nacho cheese doritos.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but seriously, a hot dog. Spice that shit up with basically anything and any condiments you have in the freezer and it will be delicious. Takes no time at all.

Hah.

I'm not really into desserts. My girlfriend makes some bomb-ass "reeses" brownies though.

My girlfriend is bringing home a pizza!

If it were me, at home, I'd probably make a nice pasta or scampi if you're up to it

Culinary school to working at a decently succesfull urban restaurant, then I was sous chef for a while there, Brief stint working at a 3 star (michelin) restaurant before I went on the show.

Currently I founded, own, and run a restaurant and I love it, I'd attribute it 30% to being on the show.

ChopTef · 2 years

I can't really answer that, nor do I necessarily agree.

I'm pretty sure they have open interview type things, but I applied online.

It's actually pretty similar to what's shown in the final cut, we aren't told much more than we could deduce for ourselves beforehand.

I have no idea how the judges decided what they did.

Money, I'm guessing

My reddit friend says to tell you to up vote this and I'll be able to have quicker posts.

ChopTef · 2 years

What do you suggest? My friend (showed me this place) says it's customary not to tell exactly who you are at first, though if it is guessed through my answers I will admit to it later on.
