The final 4 gets narrowed down tonight. Please discuss tonights episode in here, thank you.

Alright, I dare ya to say tonight's show was boring.

Well I'm sure all those of you who know me know what I was thinking last night. Knowing how much I just LOVE Virginia. *slowburn*

It was boring, it was predictable and the thought of any one of these people in a kitchen cooking my food makes me nauseous.

awww...c'mon, Virgina is good at salads. You could eat stuff that wasn't cooked. :crazy

But BURNED PEAS?!?! I didn't even know it was possible to burn peas! :O

...and what kind of chef doesn't know what a cleaver is? I'm just sayin'...

The peas got burned when there was a huge flare-up. She is stupid. There's just no way around that. Apparently salad chefs have no call to use cleavers, at least not in America. I'd never thought of that before.

It would be a hoot watching her on Martin Yan's show.

Actually that has me thinking because I can see him chasing her around with his own cleaver. There could be a variant of the show where celebrity chefs have to work with hopefuls such as Virginia, but they're the one's in Hell. Last celeb chef to quit or have a meltdown gets a new endorsement deal.

Hey, just wondering, has anyone ever seen the BBC comedy, Chef!, starring Lenny Henry?

Perfectly fine with Virginia staying. I'm feeling much better about Sara going. She's been consistently bad and unbearable to watch.

Cleavers are great for chopping and slicing, especially in large volume. "Salad chefs" (I still say there is no such thing) must spend most of their day chopping lettuce and slicing vegetables. Hence, they have a reason to use cleavers if they so desire.

Further, I have never fabricated meat in my career, but I can still identify a boning knife. Therefore, the reason Virginia could not identify a cleaver is because she is an idiot.

She hit the nail dead on the head when she said she wasn't ready to run a restaurant. She is no kind of line cook. Also, what kind of executive chef has to ask what a cleaver is? I wouldn't hire a prep cook who couldn't identify a cleaver, much less go to a restaurant run by someone who didn't know.

Oh, well, let her win and see how long "Poopsie's House of Salads" stays afloat at the Red Rock (or whatever) Hotel in Vegas.

My thanks for the perspective.

I've always favored the eight inch chef's knife myself, but each to his/her own. Martin uses his cleaver for paring fruit.

I liked Sara. I was sad to see her go. Sure she was kind of mean, but I thought she made the show entertaining. Oh well, there is no way Virginia will win anyway.

I can't help but be fascinated. Let's grant her mean and entertaining. Why else did you like her?

Until recently I found Sara entertaining also. Until she went all "gross" on us a few eps. back. She was a heck of alot more entertaining than that simpering Virginia. :rolleyes:
