Yay - a new season! And in my new home state so more fun. It looks like it’s starting out as a season for actual chefs instead of wacky reality show contestants. I didn’t catch all the bios but they seem to be people with decent credentials instead of caterers or whatever. And nice simple valid challenges. The blind relay race was kind of fun even though it went by quickly.

I don’t have a lot to say to start except I would never eat food that was smoked over dry grass picked from a park under the Hollywood sign.

And now I feel a personal connection - I went to Richard Blais’s restaurant in San Diego for my birthday and he came over to wish me happy birthday and take a picture with me. So I’m looking forward to the San Diego challenges.
