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).

Sam Sifton And Roy Choi Share Spiritual Connection Over Beer Can Chicken

by Tina Nguyen 12:24 pm, July 12th

Over at the New York Times: Sam Sifton took a trip to Los Angeles to visit taco shaman Roy Choi, and delved deep into the lyrical madness that is Choi’s mind and food. For instance, Sifton wondered, why did Choi continue to serve meat after he published a widely-reprinted blog post questioning the consumption of meat?

“It was just a diary entry,” he said over beer-can chicken and glazed ribs at A-Frame, his converted IHOP in Culver City, shrugging as if to recall the Jay-Z lyric: “Just my thoughts.”

So yeah, says Sifton, everyone, stop making wild-ass pronouncements about what Roy Choi is doing with his life.
