Turns out, food game shows
Stir the Japanese poet
In many gourmands

And chief among ’em are the proudly less-than-dynamic duo running a blog called “Too Much Free Time” (the reality behind all blogs, of course). Lots of food telly is enjoyed in their place, notably “TC” and “Hell’s Kitchen,” and some exquisite, formalistic verse has been composed about both shows’ current seasons. Check ’em out:

Meanwhile, shocking, but true: People are integrating adult beverages into their enjoyment of "Top Chef"! Kim from Philly writes: "I thought you would be interested to know that we have made a drinking game out of the show. A few of our favorite drinking words are: ‘savory,’ ‘knife skills,’ ‘pastry chef,’ and anything having to do with blatant product placement. [Whoa, nobody's gonna catch a buzz playing this game!] I'm happy (or not) to say we have a new word following last night's episode. I think I counted no less than five times Jennifer said, ‘I'm doing this for Zoi.'"

And to that, I might add: "Ya know, at the end of the day, this challenge was pretty simple."
