Did you taste your food?
By Ann | March 13, 2008
It’s back! I thoroughly enjoyed last night’s episode (though I did find myself getting a little weary during the introductory section – is it just me or are there too many contestants?). And, I’ll make a confession — I didn’t know what chicken piccata was. Yes, I knew about the lemon-butter-caper sauce, but I had no clue about the breadcrumbs vs. flour and egg. It’s all very odd because the Barefoot Contessa’s recipe, which I loved, clearly uses breadcrumbs — with no mention of Milanese. And I always thought the flour-egg coating was called chicken alla Francese.
Anyway, I thought Nimma’s departure was deserved and how cute was Stephanie when her duck a l’orange won the night? Looking forward to watching more delicious and disgusting dishes emerge this season.

Funny, this show is also my guilty pleasure. I thought Nimma’s departure was indeed deserved, but I must say that while I adore his food — which I sample in NYC — I found Chef Tom Colicchio to be quite off putting, and sometimes unduly harsh in his comments. My question is how Padma can sample all of this and stay as slender as she is… good genes I guess;-)
