"The Next Iron Chef" visits Petco Park

Petco Park was featured on "The Next Iron Chef" last night. Their mission is "To raise this already top notch chow to an even higher level." Shouldn't be too hard.
- The challenge is about "transformation", each chef is supposed to ask themselves a simple question "How would an Iron Chef create food for a ballpark?"
- Here's a good quote from Chef Burrell "I feel like an Iron Chef is like a professional athlete." The best part is that she gives no explanation.
- They're talking about the Food Network Cart and their disgusting blue cheese covered steak sandwich. I can tell you that right after I finished it, I felt like I was going deconstruct the $13 sandwich and present it in a bowl of white porcelain.
- The rules say they have 15 minutes to gather the ingredients that they need from the concession stands in the Mercado. That's where I buy my pizza.
- Oh look it's Randy Jones, he's introduced as "the purveyor of fine barbecue offerings". That sounds so much better than Cy Young award winner.
- The overweight chef gets a head start and it's a good thing because apparently he already rolled an ankle earlier in the competition. Iron Chef's are like professional athletes! Who knew?
- The chefs are now gathering food from concessions. Dex says "These ballpark concessions people are moving SOOOOO fast. This is fiction. Ain't nobody ever moved that fast worked at concessions."
- I wonder if anybody will just panic and create a Jalapeno Handshake.
- None of these chefs know anything about sports or baseball. "I'm not a sports person at all, so I don't get it." Psst, you don't need to know anything about sports for this challenge.
- The crazy haired Chef Burrell says she needs to spend more time on the treadmill after racing up a flight of stairs. She needs to spend more time with a hair brush too.
- I'm not sure they actually have these ingredients at the ballpark. I defy you to find one radish at the there on any other day of the year.
- "Gimme some wine! Gimme some wine!" Geez, quit whining!
- I like how this guy pronounces "Fish Taco" as "Feesh Teko"
- Dex asks "I wonder if Randy Jones was PISSED that none of the chefs thought to grab any Randy Jones BBQ sauce? Like one chick stocked up on generic lemonade. People were like, "Shit BBQ sauce? PASS!"
- All the chefs rush out to the Park at the Park. Dex likes the camera work "I like the shots of the Tony Gwynn statue overlooking the chefs, like, 'I approve... hungrily.'"
- This chef is making blue cheese ice cream. I'm making throw up in my mouth..
- It was just a matter of time before someone used that quote. "If you can't take the heat then get the hell out of the kitchen."
Okay that's the first commercial break. You watch the rest and let me know what else happens.

I meant to watch this but forgot.

my favorite padres food by far
is the clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. It’s only $7.50 and it’s very filling.
I give second place to the sonoran dog. It’s just too darn expensive though.
I liked the guy who did the Sunday brunch food
I mean, we do live in Breakfast Town.
As for actual food, I love the nachos you get at the Hall of Fame Bar and Grill. Get it and you’re surrounded by envious stares the whole game. The root beer float at the Suhweet Spot is also tasty. Man, I wish I could afford another mini-plan in Toyota Terrace next year.

BUT JAFF DECKER IS ON MLBN!
But I do want to watch this at some point

Wait....
Stalls? I don’t want food from stalls
Why ask a failed romance to come watch your successful one? You know, that's like inviting the Seattle Mariners to a World Series game. It's just weird for everyone.
I didn't see anyone grab any good beer.
Where’s Neil the Beer Man when you need him?
No pants. No problem.
Something not ballparky...
Yet, great place to be.

I like how in the beginning of the episode one of them referred to
“the middle [of the field], or ‘home plate’ as they call it.” I don’t know why, it just made me laugh.
No pants. No problem.
Lol, Robert Irvine is a tool

The way he says 'taco' makes me want to punch him in the face.

Samuelsson has the good food going

Samuelosson is a beast
he is the Albert Pujols of fine dinning right now.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Would you say he's a class act?

Are we talking about Samuelsson or Pujols?
The former is a class act. The latter is more of a firecracker.
No pants. No problem.
Lol, not pooholes
I know how he acts and it’s not classy

Samuelson?
He seems like a class act from the articles I have read about him and the times I have seen him on TV.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Everything he made just looked so much better than everyone else's dishes
Probably because I’m very simple and am easy distracted by cool looking fries.

His cooking style is so unique. He is classically trained French, but uses his Heritage and environement to influence him.
He is an orphan from Ethiopia, raised in Sweden, and became famous for cooking soul-food in Harlem……
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Wow.
Plus, I like that they were mad because he cooked more than he needed to. He’s that good.

Well they hinted that doing multiple plates was a bad idea in the previous episode's elimination challenge.
So they were extra pissed that he did it again this episode.
Why is this guy making a Chicago, San Francisco, and New York style meal
in a SAN DIEGO BALLPARK? Ugh.
No pants. No problem.
Because he sucks

He seemed so butthurt about that.
Shouldn’t the next Iron Chef be able to take criticism?
No pants. No problem.
Chefs and their egos
They all think they’re tough like Gordon Ramsey.

At least you figured it out 45 minutes in.

I always forget until right before the commercial break ends.
And then I forget again by the next commercial break.

he is a fraud
plus he is out class in this one. There are about 6 super top-notch chefs on this season. Then the rest are just famous because they have cooking shows.

I don't like him either

Agreed.
It should become our weekly OT. We might need to find a new website for this or something…

Props to Mike C.

Re-reading the post on Cheapskates Petco was hilarious. I’m pretty sure everyone thought I was laughing about the Michael Jackson ruling like some kind of maniac.
