A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

“WHO’S THE BITCH ON THE SHOW?” I’m pretty sure it’s Gail, myself, but it might be Tom. The NBC-owned cross-branding ramped up tonight with the chefs catering a Glad-encased lunch for the cast and crew of a Telemundo telenovela—with a “surprise” change in the cooking schedule. In my world, last-minute phone calls usually end up presaging tedious delays, not frantic braising. I was disappointed by the results—I’ve liked what I’ve seen of that particular chef and thought she seemed to be getting more interesting, as opposed to more dramatic—but I had a sinking feeling about the rainbow trout and polenta from the beginning. As Latin cooking goes, those are about as authentic as muktuk.
