Clearly we have "Pierced-face" and "Red Beard" "Blonde Mouse" and "Zorro." We need a really good one for the obnoxiously-loud big-headed Vegas guy. Oh and we should distinguish between Red Beard and Ginger Queen (the other red-haired guy queeny guy.) I can't keep track of their real names this early on!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766005050803045076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379237.post-55795578166108021792009-08-27T09:05:42.893-05:002009-08-27T09:05:42.893-05:00I'm so sure about Jenn, I'll give you eith...I'm so sure about Jenn, I'll give you either of the brothers in the wager!

Things always get hairy when contestants have relationships, and they find a way to sneak them in every year. <br /><br />I will say this about the Masters in general....you didn't see many tats, peircing, or skin deformations there! I was rather impressed with all those chefs cooking since they most likely are not doing much actual cooking these days.<br /><br />I'll take that wager.

Hilarious! I was just talking to a friend last night about it, and how old it made me feel to be grossed out by multiple lip piercings on a chef or major ear spacers.

I think both he and Jennifer have chops, so in reality it's a toss-up, but my gut says him this time.<br /><br />I had forgotten that about Hubert. That is especially funny considering his first time on Masters where he made pasta in a dorm shower. Gross! He was so loveable, though, and his food seemed very delightful. I will definitely be visiting his restaurant next time I'm up in SF. I was cheering for Rick the entire time, though, and was so happy he won!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766005050803045076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379237.post-80015173456878554642009-08-22T23:13:41.993-05:002009-08-22T23:13:41.993-05:00Live lobsters can be found in tanks at most major ...Live lobsters can be found in tanks at most major chain grocery stores around town.<br /><br />For live and fresh seafood try<br /><br />Catanese Classic Seafood<br />(216) 624-4733 <br /><br />They have a storefront in the Flats near downtown.
