Can somebody please explain to me why Caleb Followill was recently a judge on “Iron Chef America”? I heard the Kings of Leon frontman liked to cook, so that was probably the biggest reason.
But so what? Lots of people like to cook. But lots of people aren’t the lead singer of one of the most popular rock bands on the planet, so it’s understandable why the Food Network went the celebrity judge route.
He actually did a pretty decent job judging the dishes of the two contestants, considering his culinary background (or lack thereof). He offered some pretty valid praises and criticisms of several of the dishes, although he seemed to have an obsession with salt on two of the highlighted meals.
Iron Chef Michael Symon tried his best to be respectful during Followill’s remarks, saying “I would never leave halfway through one of your shows.” Well, considering the mediocrity that runs rampant on KOL’s newest album Come Around Sundown, I wouldn’t blame Symon if he did.
Trevor,
ReplyDeleteI have to say - on the Iron Chef post - that I am a huge Iron Chef fan, and it is sometimes a little odd that rappers, rock stars, and newscasters are sometimes invited to judge the food.
I like your posts overall - they're written in an easy-going, entertaining style.
A couple of logistical comments. The banner could be a little more exciting, and the banner/subtitle could give a more directed sense of what the blog is about (any particular type of music, for ex?).
Finally, I like the blog posts that have pictures up top - the Brady one or even the M&Ms post. Putting the text first does not draw readers in enough.
