Marcus Samuelsson at GOP Convention

WATCH: Every Whack-Job Montage From Last Night's MasterChef Auditions

by Mariella Mosthof

MasterChef Season 4 kicked off last night with a two-hour premiere, and, as we look forward to every summer, the kooks came out of the woodwork for the open audition rounds. Of course, those are way more entertaining than the tear-filled, moving stories of overcoming adversity or whatever, so we conveniently compiled all the Crazies Montages in one convenient space for your perusal. You're welcome.

Lady Chef Stampede: Here's Why Amy Scherber Is The One Baker Ever To Be Profiled In This Column

by Tina Nguyen

This week, on the Lady Chef Stampede, we get baked with Amy Scherber, the woman behind Amy’s Bread. Normally I am deeply suspicious of bakers, regarding them as a mutant offshoot of pastry cooks (if you want to know about pastry cooks, I suggest trying reading some H.P. Lovecraft, who wrote about them in great detail).

Marcus Samuelsson Is Chilling With Arianna Huffington At…The GOP Convention?!

by Tina Nguyen 4:58 pm, August 28th

To most people, the above photo looks like it was taken at a swanky lounge that probably has well-manicured young men with perfect eyebrows wearing black shirts bringing you cocktails (and also, everyone there seems to be reading Yes, Chef).

But no, it is not. It is the Huffington Post’s Media Lounge, which Arianna Huffington purposely bills as a calming oasis during the midst of the high-octane pageantry of the Republican National Convention.

And Marcus Samuelsson is there, tweeting from Tampa and sitting down for an interview with Arianna for the Huffington Post, because an impending hurricane and proximity to the political party who virulently opposes most of who Samuelsson is and what he stands for, isn’t really such a big deal.

While they have an in-depth discussion about how American eating habits need to become healthier and more varied, we’re going to sit here, stunned, and think about how only Arianna Huffington could get proud Obama supporter Marcus Samuelsson to willingly visit the GOP Convention.

The Republican Party and Mitt Romney maliciously oppose Ethiopian adoptees raised in Switzerland who are small business owners?

Really?
