    Sorry, not trying to rub it in.

    They were really nice actually, well she was anyway, he didnt say two words.
    Oh, I didn't think you were rubbing it in. :)
    I will eat vicariously through you. lol
    I keep saying to myself that I will go into the city one day with or without my son and go have lunch at Babbo....or Nobu. My little one loves to put sushi in his mouth and then return it to the plate if it seems a bit too fishy for him. :)
    He is awesome with those kiddie chopsticks.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    Im a bit of a foodie, its a passion!
    now your talking my language
    sushi and japanese food is my passion-my wife is Japanese

    Nobu is not the place to go. Its ok. Its cool. A few of the dishes are good.
    But for truly good raw fish, I have other places to suggest.
    Babbo and Nobu are basically places where you pay for the name and the scene. Not necessarily the food.

    How old is your son if I may ask?

    The finale was cool. Besh went down. You could tell he was thinking "no way I lost"
    Oh well. So the new Iron Chef is Chef Symon. He did a great job.
    So what happened was instead of 5 dishes, they both decided to do 6. But of course, overkill Besh had to kiss up to Morimoto and make a dessert that was sub par and I think may have been a big reason he lost.
    The not-so-secret ingredient was swordfish. Anyone that has eyes knew this beforehand as the previews showed one of the chefs hightailing it across the kitchen with a huge swordfish in his arms..
    I found Besh's food to be predictable and not that inspired.
    Symon did a great job and even used the submersion cooker.

    I did not think either was that good or innovative.

    I liked them both but I did think overall I would like Chef's Symon's food over Chef Besh's food except for the final challenge I thought Chefs Besh's food sounded better. Chef Symon's use of lamb's tongue was a little freaky to me and he used it in 2 dishes. I like his personality though and I think he will make a very good iron chef.

    What was especially disturbing about the lamb tounge was Alton's fascination with it. And whenever he said it, it was all cutsy...that grossed me out.

    I agree Getright...nothing was phenomenal. But I like Symon better throughout.

    I read a couple blogs this morning.
    Andrew Knowlton was pretty blunt in his thoughts.
