Every time someone describes their dish I have to pause it and ask my roommate, "What is ceviche? What's a reduction?" while he perfectly predicts who's going home, who's winning and what the source of Padma's scar is. But I love it. Maybe it will inspire me to do something other than microwave and takeout salads from Whole Foods. Oh, speaking of which, how do you get past the shameless cross promotion on this show? The zoom-in on the GLAD trash bags and WF labels on the spices. That part does get to me. We finally watched it here and I am in way over my head.
