Michael Psilakis is beau…ti..ful!!! He is soooooo cool and right on. Is anyone else mixing him up with Michael Symon?? I was lost for about a week after the show, thinking it was Michael Symon really….I even wrote to Michael Symon staff and joined his fan club on facebook… and tried googleing Chef Michael Salakis without the “p” in front of Salakis and found no leads until this blog! Do i need an intervention or what?

[...] and “give an over generalized recount of events on a given television show,” as one commenter phrased it? It’s clear from my stat reports that is what gets my visitor count up. Only [...]

I also like the judges but my favorite is the Food Network Director, Katherine Alford. She is so personable and precise in her critiques. She is always on point and offers helpful critiques and suggestions. But I like all 3 of them. The panel is much stronger than last years group of judges.

I just had to say that the ultimate showdown comfort food was phenomenal and aside from the fabulous recipes diplayed I think, the one thing that really stood out was the commentary from the judges, was particulary Michael Psilakis who was pleasant and insightful and had many positive comments about the food. In most competition type show the judges just shred the competitors, picking at the most minute details until the poor chef’s are only left with a thread of confidence left, feeling like imbeciles in front of national TV. I hate to see anyone reduced to a ball of jello after enduring a highly intense competitiion. So I say, cudos! to you Micheal for giving positive feedback, besides when do amatuer chefs have chance to be critiqued by someone of your reputation? Sorry Guy your hair could not overcome Micheal’s great personality. Oh and by the way I’m glad FN found a way to utilize you since Bobby Flay is always the Iron Chef everyone challenges on that show. Here’s to many more Ultimate Food Challenges!

Thanks for your comment. I’m not sure if you’re referring to this post or the blog in general, but I hope to continue to improve the quality as time goes on–I’ve only been blogging for two weeks and I’m learning more about food, what I’m doing and what I want to share with the world with each passing day. I’m sorry if you didn’t enjoy it and that I came across as ignorant and isolated, I’ll certainly try to dispel that in the future! Thanks for the clarification on Fieri, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who was interested in the explanation (not too many Italians in mid-coast Maine). If the snow ever clears I’ll be sure to get out more :)

What is the purpose of a blog?
Is it simply to give an over generalized recount of events on a given television show?
Is it to blandly corroborate a bland opinion?
One thing is for sure, Em, you certainly display your ignorance and American isolation.
Fieri is an Italian name and Italians flip their Rs.
