Today's episode of Colemeco's Food Show did a nice feature on Manhattan Chinatown. Always good to see Eddie Schoenfeld's tips and picks. Made me hungry for Joe Ng's dumplings

“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

Those dumplings did look good but I thought his in studio dish looked awful.
“And another thing. You don't have to "move on" either. Not until you're ready. People say, Oh, you should be grateful. They say, Oh, it's time for you to move on. I'm like, What are you, a cop with a nightstick? I'll move on when I'm done playing the blues on my harmonica, thank you very much.
Really, people will tell you all kinds of garbage. Don't believe it.

the studio dish was all terribly overcooked and didn't look at all enticing.

He knew it, too, didn't he - "if only Eddie had been able to cook this, it would have been much better".
I like his show a lot and am so very happy that he cut off that terrible ponytail!

G-d bless his barber. I think that was the worst studio dish he ever did and I imagine there were multiple takes to get that. Eddie's version of the dish would have been letter perfect.

I'll join in by saying that studio dish did look terrible. It's funny because his Mise en Place and the way he generally goes about his studio dish is usually solid. This was all out of whack. Can you imagine how overpowering the ginger was in that dish? he used about 2 tablespoons. He didn't sweat any of the aromatics. Just weird.
Also, I know that these shows have to pay the bills. However, do we need to have two cans of Roland products barely 6 inches from the range? lol

Rather a remarkable weight loss since the Chinatown scenes shot earlier. Can't just have been the ponytail.

Usually Channel 13 (WNET) here in NYC. Sundays at 6pm.

We usually listen to food talk in my kitchen. Mike does a good job with the radio show. Way better than Tyler. If Tyler said "that's fantastic" one more time I was going to throw a veal bone through the radio. Simply put, Rocco was a tool when he hosted that show. Talk about an absolute waste of talent. I did an externship with him when I was in culinary school. The UP kitchen was super intense. He was like a dictator. I was in awe of the place. Hard to believe what he has done to his career.

The Rocco thing is quite sad. It might be interesting someday to find out what made him go sooooo nuts and throw his career as a chef away. Hopefully, he likes his new career as whatever it is that he is now.

The last serious interview I read with Rocco was in either GQ or Esquire about 18 months ago. At the time, he was in LA pitching some sort of TV variety show to execs. One of the most disturbing quotes in there was something on the order of, "chefs can't rich. In order to get rich you need to create a lifestyle brand. I want to be like Martha Stewart, but bigger."
First off, tell Collichio that chefs can't get really rich. Secondly, I guess he wanted to be Rachel Ray, before she was Rachel Ray. lol

one of his old girlfriends was a lifestyle guru (one of the most annoying) and that may have influenced him. i'm sure money has alot to do with his choices and feeling like he doesn't want to work on his feet, all his life but there must be ways to accomplish these things without giving up ones self respect. [uh, strike that, you probably do have to sell your soul just a little bit]
