Kitchen Statdium

I have to admit that tonight was my first time watching Iron Chef.
Wow was it entertaining. It was pretty cheesy at first, the host seemed a little over the top. But I know that's part of the appeal and the entertainment. The more I watched, the more I couldn't stop watching!
I was so nervous for the challenger. Could he beat the Iron Chef? Or was he going to get crushed by this large Japanese man? I was definitely rooting for the challenger. They were cooking sushi and the secret ingredient was ginger, and I was so impressed! I watched them use tools I've never seen before, and slice and dice faster than I've ever seen before.
The commentators and the instant replays definitely added to the appeal. In the end the Iron Chef pulled it off and won, but it was sure close. It was probably his ginger donut he made! Who does that?
I have to admit that every time I watch a cooking show, Top Chef on Bravo gets me hooked too, I have the desire to sign up for culinary school. I took a cake decorating class while I lived in Provo and I loved it. I didn't end up finishing the course, I moved to Salt Lake before it was over, and I'm sad that I never perfected my frosted rose. But soon I hope to fulfill my dream of being an amazing chef.

In case my friends and family are afraid I've become a TV junkie...it's just that Chris is out of town again. Haha.

My favorite line from Iron Chef tonight was "the battle may be over, but the drama is just getting started."

I think I like this show.
