Tournament of Champions Season 2!

Tom Zalatnai and Matt Cole review the first episode of the second season of Tournament of Champions, Guy Fieri's massive cooking competition! First, we talk about the format, the challenge of the Randomizer, and the ways behind-the-scenes "food producers" figure out what to put in a mystery box on a competition show. Then, we break down the three rounds of this episode, sharing our thoughts on the competitors and their dishes, and giving our takes on the challenges ourselves. Also, Matt reveals his secret talent for interpreting judges' comments to determine the winner!

What would you do if Guy Fieri asked you to make a shrimp brunch in a blender? Did we miss something that you think absolutely should've been mentioned?

BONUS: Tournament of Champions S2E5: I Did A Little Kosher Crime

I programmed this over a year ago but never recorded it for some reason. This was originally written by W.G. Snuffy Walden for what I consider to be the greatest television show of all time, THE WEST WING.

THE WEST WING THEME SONG

Kyrie from my setting of the normal Mass for soprano, baritone and organ. The Kyrie is for soprano Solo.

Kimberley Lynch, soprano
Adrian Foster, organ
Joel Peters, mentor, zen master and page turning dude

Recorded at St. James United in Montréal, July 29, 2019.

Messe pour soprano, baryton et orgue - 1 Kyrie

A weekly podcast about great food and the people who love to make and eat it, hosted by Tom Zalatnai and Teffer Adjemian!
