Eagle themed kitchens were popular
Avocado was more familiar as a color choice than as a something you eat
Spice racks were often made by sons in wood shop class (again with the eagle)
Tupperware ruled the Jello Mold Market
Kids didn't go off to college with computers but with flipping popcorn poppers
So I have to say 2010 fondue pots are kinda boring and industrial. The chefs have to make the fondue more modern than your typical Seventies melted cheese and bread fondue offerings. The Twist? The chefs will judge themselves, each will vote for a best fondue and a worst fondue and no one can vote for themselves. Will they be honest or will someone try and tear down a front runner. Let's all light our Sterno!
Can you guess whose station this is?
Mike tells us that fondue parties are gay....or make you gay...or make you want to be gay...I don't know, he's not too clear on the specifics.
Dale takes a page out of Richard's Word Play book and makes a Pho-due. Now I'm not sure of the rules but there appears to be a lot of pre-cooking going on which kinda defeats the whole purpose of fondue of cooking it in the little pot. No matter, their thirty minutes are up, time to stick it in the 'Due.
Looks like Mike is getting his gay fondue vibe on with his Chablis and rainbow tat (also very Seventies). That is one powerful accent Fabio is laying down if he can score with both men and the ladies. Time to taste the results.
I had to include these two shots....because certain followers of the blog will beg like hungry puppies if I don't. So there they are. Hope you're happy, Dorothy Snarker and MS. You won't mind if the rest of us finish with the post, do you?
Antonia is horrified to learn the voting won't be in secret since each chef has a ballot with their name on it. She needn't have worried. However it seems that Fabio, Tiffany and Mike are on the bottom. Yes, I said it, Mike is on the bottom for the gay fondue challenge.
You just can't make some people happy.
Dale wins it with his Pho-Due and a three day trip to Napa...hopefully without Mike. Mercifully the Fondue Quickfire is over.
