It’s funny that for all the guff (that’s right, I said guff. We are in PG rated territory people) that the boys give Giada for overpronouncing words (we called the Trebek Effect), they have no problem butchering other cultures’ native tongues. Hypocrisy, thy name is Well Fed Guide!

It’s not often Minnesota is thrust onto the world stage (at least, not when it doesn’t involve some crazy local politician), so it was with great honor that Saffron head chef Sameh Wadi was recently pitted against Masaharu Morimoto in Iron Chef America. While I won’t spoil the ending for you, mostly because even Evan and Dave haven’t seen the episode yet, we can say that Saffron’s deft usage of spices and cute baby animal parts will more than likely win over the only 2 judges that matter. Now if we could only get Ted Allen on the show…
