So last night’s episode was a bit of a filler, but Mikey gave me such a hard time for breezing through the review last week that I feel like I owe you something half-way decent. Here goes…
We left off last week with Capt. Keith of the Wizard having his 18 million ton boat come crashing down on his head whilst trying to fix the damn thing. Honestly, isn’t this something you pay someone else to do? It’s called delegating. Learn it, use it, love it. Continue reading

I don’t know where all of you guys are, but it has been absolutely perfect here in sunny socal lately. I’m so stoked that the warm weather is here and am looking forward to lots of patio dining in the near future. Yesterday I took a little trip to the south bay and ended up at an awesome new restaurant in El Segundo called Paul Martin’s American Bistro. The credit for this find has to go to my buddy Jack who is currently living off noodles and such in China. Thanks for looking out bro! I hope you can readjust to American food when ya get back.
You guys are probably wondering what this place has to do with earth day. It’s a fair question. The answer is that Paul Martin’s prides itself on serving organic, sustainable and local foods. If you think that means the food won’t taste good, you’re out of your mind. This is the latest venture by the creator of the P.F. Changs and Flemings steakhouse brands. Most of the food served in the restaurant comes from our fine state and anything that isn’t is brought in whole before being prepared. That means that every sauce, every soup and every component of each dish is prepped on site. I was there on a fairly slow Sunday and there was an army of about 10 prep cooks doing the work of 5 restaurants in back. Now that you’ve got a little background, let’s get on with the review…

Hell’s kitchen continued right where we left it last week, with Gordon telling the chefs he’s closing down Hells Kitchen. We all gasp at this incredible announcement, right? Right? Nope we don’t. In fact, we are all pretty used to most of the so called huge announcements on this show just being reality one liners. Yes, he is closing Hells Kitchen, but only so the group can go on a field trip to the Borgata. It’s a chance to see where only one of them will be a chef and the others will just look in with their face pressed up against the glass.
This am oven for to make fish cook!

For the second time in three days we are debuting a new column on the site. This one, unlike deadliest catch, is not going to be every week. What we are aiming to accomplish though, is to see one of the newest movies in theaters and then find a review to pair with it, hence the name “Dinner and a Movie.”
For our first attempt, I saw Crank: High Voltage.
Yeah, I thought he died in the first one too.

I went for breakfast, this morning, to a place a couple of neighbors had told me about. It’s a little, and I mean little, diner right off the 126 hwy called the 126 Café. They said it had a lot of history and had been around for something like 40 years and that they had one of the best breakfasts in town. Continue reading

Tonight, Mikey and I are premiering a new weekly column for the site. With Hell’s Kitchen winding down (thank god) we are proactively filling the void with a show that’s actually worth watching: Deadliest Catch. This weekly column will probably go up on Wednesdays, but because I was retarded and forgot to tivo the 1st episode, I had to wait until tonight to watch the rerun. Each week, it is my hope that we can not only give a little commentary on the show, but also a review on the culinary bounty that is the ocean. First the show, then the review… enjoy!
