no, brats, you are the twit. i dont think that the chefs who own/started the restaurants usually are cooking at their restaurants. and no, i dont think the chefs usually at minibar are subpar. i'd just like to meet jose. he's quite a character, based on made in spain. i'm just saying its somewhat unrealistic to show jose actually behind the counter at minibar. JESUS.

Do you really think Michel Richard is behind the stove when you visit Citronelle? Take a peek. He may be at the "Chef's Table" in the Citronelle kitchen. When he is, he may not be at the helm, but he definitely rules the quarterdeck.

WETA loves them some Jose. His show is actually pretty watchable and not edited by someone with ADD. Intelligent, professional, and enthusiastic, unlike certain Joker-faced spazzes who will remain nameless.

Rasika is considered fine dining?

They definitely need more HD programming on WETA (26 1-4). I was pleasantly surprised one afternoon to find a Franz Ferdinand live set on one of the WETA-HD channels, instead of the usual aging folk groups from the 1960s.

"yes, i noticed they interview jose and make it look like he actually cooks at minibar...ha. please let me know whenever he's actually going to be cooking at minibar, i'll be there." Are you implying that the food at Minibar would improve if Jose Andres was there cooking as opposed to Katsuya, or Ruben, or any of the other extremely talented chefs back there? Please, you sound like a twit and you are being rude to talented chefs while at it. Do you really thing Michel Richard is behind the stove when you visit Citronelle? Well he's probably not, but that's not an issue, because the guy who is in there has been properly trained to execute Michel's vision. I guess using your logic, The Source, and Westend Bistro suck because Wolfgang and Eric, respectively, aren't there.

I saw the Neighborhood Eats episode and it was pretty interesting. They hit the usual joints (Ben's, Breadline, Busboys) and a few I've never heard of (gotta try Mario's Pizza). Tivo that s**t next time it comes around. The bit on Pizza Mart brought back memories of dodging rats and vomit in a drunken haze. We have heard the chimes at midnight. That we have, that we have, Sir John. Jesus, the days that we have seen!

Too bad they didn't produce this one in HD. Instead, on their HD channel, we get three zillion episodes of America's Heartland, The Desert Speaks, and History Detectives, back to back to back all day and all night.
