Went to Freebirds for dinner and good lord has it gone downhill

 

Happy Birthday, Erin!

 

Freebird's ranch almost makes me want to believe in God though. That shit is heavenly!

 

It's actually Nov 10th but close enough lol

 

now I'm just confused but yeah

 

I'm all for trashing Freebirds. I've been like four times and it's never good

I know CA people, the original is different!

 

I think it might just be the one near me. I think Chipotle has creeped ahead at this point. If only they had delicious ranch

 

My sister's bday is Oct 2nd and mine is Nov 10. We all meet up halfway and celebrate both our birthdays on any day that we can all be there. It's a tradition.

 

This is correct.

 

What cooking shows do you all watch? I want Iron Chef to come back so damn badly.

 

Iron Chef is pretty legit. I like Worst Cooks in America a bit. Top Chef is a lot more boring than I remember it being. Chopped is my favorite

 

Oh and of course, Master Chef is great too

 

My wife and I have been discussing this. Last we heard it still exists they just aren't currently filming so idk what the deal is.

To answer your question-we tend to heavily watch Chopped, Guy's Grocery Games and Cutthroat Kitchen

 

I think I like the Master Chef Jr a bit better because it's hilarious watching Gordon Ramsey trying not to be a complete asshole haha

 

thank you for at least sparking an interesting discussion, Ken. this thread sorely needs it

 

oh man, that's a tough one. I like both a lot. I think I'm gonna go with the original but it is hilarious trying to watch him be remotely nice to kids haha

 

The first few seasons of Master Chef were the best. Gordon and Joe would get so angry at the cooks. I loved it. My top cooking/food shows:

1. Iron Chef
2. Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares UK/BBC version
3. No Reservations
4. Tyler's Ultimate
5. Chopped
6. Boy Meets Grill
7. Master Chef
8. Throwndown w/ Bobby Flay
9. Good Eats
10. Mexico: One Plate at a Time

Honorable Mentions: Jamie at Home, Emeril Live, Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course, Molto Mario, Everyday Italian, Cook Like an Iron Chef, 24 Hour Restaurant Battle, Heat Seekers, and Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives, Beat Bobby Flay

 

In no particular order:

DDD
The Great Foodtruck Race
Iron Chef
No Reservation
Worst Cooks in America
Pioneer Woman
Beat Bobby Flay
Best Thing I Ever Ate
Heat Seekers
Barefoot Contessa
Unwrapped
Semi Homemade
Chopped
Chuck's Day Off
Unique Sweets
Restaurant Impossible

 

They need to bring back Heat Seekers!

 

Seriously. I watched it religiously.

 

Aaron Sanchez and Roger Mooking were great hosts together. It was the only show dedicated to spicy foods too. I don't get it. I don't understand why shows like Halloween Wars and Cupcake Wars do so well when shows like Heat Seekers only get two short seasons.

 

The classic

 

Only worth it if it's the kind with extra cherries.

Cherries are the fucking best.

 

Mind of a Chef (I cannot recommend this show enough)
Parts Unknown
No Reservations
Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (British version, obviously)
Chef's Table

 

@Ken watch Mind of a Chef.
