thebitterguyWell, that was amusing. They've ditched BIll Shatner, but instead of bringing onboard George Takei (come ON, man! Show me another Asian male of a distinguished mien with stentorian tones such as his! ONE!) they've cast Marc Decascos as The Chairman.
Which is interesting, if only in that you get to watch him do martial arts warmups before the show.
They needed a play by play guy to go with Brown's Hattori. He was getting swamped.
They had Flay take on Sakai. Rather disappointed in the result.
Rather disappointed by the judges. SURE, they all know about food. But where's the grizzled old food critic? The giggle ingenue? The strange politician? The artistically dangerous photographer?
And the Chairman didn't eat dinner! What the hell? Is he on some kinda Atkins thing?
I do look forward to Morimoto/Flay tag teaming. It'll be like Michaels/Benoit. Or a classic '80s cop movie.
And someone tell Mario Batali to put some damn pants on. Dammit.
