Food Is Our Friend, Right?

If so, food on TV has assumed the role of court jester. The political jesters (Billo, Rush, Greta) have lost their luster, and Obama is playing footsie with the GOP, rather than holding their banker-bankrollers' feet to the fire. So we have to content ourselves with pictures of mac & cheese on cable. Tomorrow's Travel Channel lineup includes a dude named Adam Richman, who visited Seattle last year to film an episode of Man v Food, wherein he goes up against Red Mill Burgers, Crab Pot, and Beth's 12-egg omelet (preview video here). We assume the fat guy wins. Meanwhile, candidates for next season's Top Chef will line up at Canlis tomorrow for auditions, desperately seeking a balance between cooking expertise and "charisma."

Everything should be decided with an eating contest, everything.

I agree wholeheartedly. Wouldn't the presidential contest have been so much more entertaining, if McCain and Obama had settled it by eating hard-boiled eggs, a la Cool Hand Luke? They probably could have sold tickets and financed the bailout, to boot.

No man can handle the Beth Omelet. Only some kind of man-beast hybrid creature could.

And even then, it'd need some Pepto.
