I have to say that one of my favorite television moments is having the current NYC Top Chefs cater Thanksgiving for the Foo Fighters. I love to eat and cook and I love the Foo Fighters. I have probably listened to the Foo Fighters while either eating or cooking. There were two teams of chefs who had to compete to cook a Thanksgiving meal, which was traditional, vegan, etc. It all boiled down to dessert. The team with the questionable desserts served a pumpkin mousse with berries soaked in maple syrup, like a, to quote Taylor Hawkins, "barfait". They also served some warped version of a s'more. Now, I love s'mores. The chef, Daniel, was trying to stay true to the Foo's tour rider (very hilarious, recommended read). But, s'mores are just heavenly, with the gooey chocolate and marshmallow and I like using cinnamon graham crackers. . .aah. Anyway, I digress. . .he tried to put bananas, as the tour rider mentioned. However, it was rather unsuccessful, and resulted in a no-more. In addition, they attempted to conceal raw potatoes into some semi-cooked potatoes. Now, I know you boil/steam them before you roast them, duh! So, the s'mores dude had to pack his knives and go, very tearfully. The worst part is, he missed a kick-ass concert.
