Laughing brains are more absorbent.
Cooking is an observation-based process that you can't do if you're so completely focused on a recipe.
Slicing a warm slab of bacon is a lot like giving a ferret a shave. No matter how careful you are, somebody's going to get hurt.
It's not perfect by any means, but I do think I wrote a pretty good argument for it being better than shoving your hand over the fire.
In the end the French chef that nearly killed me became one of my best friends, and she could never quite understand how that happened.
For me, it was kind of like going into the military or something. And anybody - any male - who has ever worked in a French kitchen knows what I am talking about when I say that.
Well, Food Network has complete control, since they own everything. But the way I like to put it is this: If you don't like Good Eats, it's my fault.
It ain't what you got, it's what you know and do with what you got, ... The difference between a cook and a chef is understanding what's going on.
