I GOT IN!!!!


don't know all the details like time and date, but I went through an on camera interview and two phone interviews and looks like I'll be in the inaugural season. I still need to gather some pics for the bio segment of the show, so I'm currently rummaging through old family photos.

You think the picture of me standing next to a skinned cow face a bit extreme?

DUDE CONGRATS!!!!!!!


This is awsome man.  Now I'll be forced to watch the show hahaha. 



I think hey man, it's probably the one and only time you'll be on TV, you might as well go off the deep end with your bio pics. 



Dude that is so fricking awsome.  But you know what this means right.  It means we'll eventually figure out where you work and come bug you.  >:)

Just as someone who is an avid follower of food competitions like this on TV...


If I can offer you some advice (I know, kind of rediculous),  but just as someone who has a vested interest in seeing you win. 



These shows with these formats of spontaneous challenges with limited time for conceptualization and cooking,  I've noticed that the ones who succeed tend to have some common traits.


-Being prepared for the challenges.  Alot of contestants I've noticed who end up winning are those with very specific recipes already planned out based on what the challenges present.  The ones who falter are the ones with poor preparation, just have brain farts and end up making either crucial creative mistakes, or just way too predictable of food.

-The main complaints that get people kicked off is flavoring.  Between a contestant who overcooked/undercooked something, and a contestant who overseasoned something.  About 8 out of 10 times, the person whose overseasoned gets booted. 

-Keeping the plates focused and technique as a highest priority.  There's nothing that pisses off the judges more than empty gimmicks or attempts to be overly complex with a dish, with no real sense of direction.  If you can create a plate of food with just a couple well conceived components prepared well,  it can go a long way in these competitions.

-Get a hint of your judges.  Try to find out who they are, or what kind of candidates would most likely be judges.  As you probably already know, there's still alot of prejudice from old school chefs regarding newer techniques, or what they call "molecular gastronomy".  Some judges will get pissed off when they see a foam on a plate.

-Study the show.  Watch the formats.  Watch the kinds of mistakes alot of contestants have made before you, so you can stand on their shoulders before it's your turn to compete.  I know there hasn't been a pastry edition for this show yet, but I think you can still learn alot by studying past episodes and contestants.  If you know anyone whose been on the show previously, that's a HUGE resource to pursue.

-Set aside a game plan.  Recipes that you can use that 1. Don't have a high risk of technical errors occuring (then again, if you DO pull off more difficult techniques, it's a huge plus)  and 2. Which can have interchangeable components/ingredients.  This is especially helpful for the "Mystery Box" challenges that are so common to the show, in which they just give you a bunch of random ingredients to put together as a composed plate.




Anyways, GL with everything, and I hope you take some of this into consideration.

Oh, believe me LS, I've watched too many of these shows over so many years to not know how a lot of these things work, that's how I got pass my first on camera interview. Ultimately none of these producers are "foodies" at all, so what do they want?

Drama, heart-filled life stories, hardship and determination, crying, yelling, etc...It's still a reality tv show that wants ratings, and you have to accept that as the very reason for being on.

I'm ultimately cooking for the judges and in the end it's whats on the plate that counts, we've both seen really good chefs/cooks get the axe knowing full well they were better than the rest.

Of course I'm going to keep it simple as I can, but I also want to show why I'm in there too.

Congratulations soochi! :awesome:

Simplicity and flawless execution should definitely be your general priority.  All too often contestants end up over complicating their dish in efforts to be unique, which in turn causes their execution to suffer.  Good luck!

I just hope I'm not surrounded with a bunch of house wives and interior decorators posing as pastry chefs.
