Michael Ruhlman's most embarrassing moment on TV
    #14079377 - 03/07/11 01:42 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)





just skip to 3:06.



Iron Chef America, Battle Offal.




Chef Constantino, one of the most well known offal chefs in the country, cooks a pig's trotter for the judges.




Michael Ruhlman, yeah he did help write the French Laundry Cookbook (too bad the food at TFL doesn't resemble anything of Keller's past visions).


But this was such am embarrassing moment.  I laughed so hard when I saw Constantino's reaction to Ruhlman complaining of the lack of meat on his pig's trotter.



Ruhlman:  "I don't have any meat at all from the pig's foot"

Constantino: "....there wasn't any meat on the pig's feet"




oh it was priceless.

My god, what an ignorant comment. Just because you can wax poetically about food in the literal sense and have a degree from an Ivy league school DOES NOT make you an expert on food or any matters relating to food. Please Michael, stop pretending your a chef and either get the balls and actually start cooking professionally or continue writing your op ed columns about stupid shit no one cares about, also try eating at places that don't have a coat check.

I don't think Ruhlmann eats pig feet very often, too "country" or "blue collar" for his stuck up ass.


oh, and all he lent to the FL cookbook were the aformentioned poetic waxing and lyrical organization, no recipes or techniques came from him

Yeah I got around to watching this and honestly, I don't know what you are talking about LS or why you think that this is his "most embarrassing moment."  Soochi was a little brutal, but I agree with his basic sentiments here, although I wouldn't have said it that way.

Hahaha I laugh at his attempts at cooking videos.  He really is such a snob. 


In a way it reflects poorly on Keller, which is a shame.  It almost seems like Ruhlman's career namesake was based on the credits given to him in that book.



There's always been a huge discrepancy in food knowledge between long time chefs and food "writers".

I'm pissed because people like him hold more sway and influence in our industry than someone that acutally knows what they are talking about and that have way more experience in professional kitchens.

Also, for a food writer of his so called "caliber" pig trotters are about as pedestrian and mundane as it gets. If he doesn't know that pig's feet are that way, then what the hell is he doing on Iron Chef? It is embarrassing and I completely agree with LS.
