Sorry, Sandra

- Forgiving ES readers are very ready to welcome Robert Irvine back to Dinner: Impossible. Digigirl: I think he deserves a chance. He’s been up front about how it happened and that yes, he did make some stuff up. And even though I do like Michael Symon, the show was more interesting when Irvine was on it. Besides, have you seen the guns on that guy? Where else can I find beefcake like that on food tv?

Tina G: It’s not like he was up for Secretary of the Treasury and didn’t pay his taxes. Resume padding aside, the guy had a good show. Who cares about his background unless he is an escaped convict? Welcome back, Chef Irvine.

- But Oxen Cox is on board the Toby Young hate train:  He is starting to suck it as bad as Padma. (Ed Note: Whaaaaa?!?) The more he yammers on, the less I have to hear her.

- And Jess is glad Andrew Cuomo’s better half won’t be headed to DC anytime soon: Sandra Lee seems to have a drinking problem and her disgraceful show only adds to the health problems of this country…processed food full of sugar, salt, trans fat, chemicals, etc. That’s cooking? I don’t get it. It’s shameful and Andrew Cuomo is a fool. (Ed Note: and totally not a Senator)

- Speaking of the Cheating Queen, MaddBobbs is a little madd about our cheating rules: Hold on, I am supposed to be making cream of mushroom soup from scratch? How do you cream a mushroom?

Good question. Who knows? We’re open to instructions.
