The wedding special was an hour long, I think. If you'd seen it, you'd probably remember. His wife flew his family in from England, including his daughters. Guy Fieri was there & Morimoto was there cooking. Other big names were cooking also or provided the rehearsal dinner.<br />It might not have aired on FN Canada. Not sure how different that programming is from the US version. Nice chatting with you!hoppy1913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-8515983368670747812015-01-12T22:29:22.279-05:002015-01-12T22:29:22.279-05:00Sorry about the gender mix-up.

Thanks for your reply. :) I seem to have a vague memory of a wedding special, but I'm not sure I've seen it. <br /><br />Now I'm wondering if perhaps it simply didn't air on Food Network Canada, like the Restaurant More Impossible ones don't, as far as I know. Stacey Poon-Kinney posted on Facebook about a RMI version of her episode, but I wasn't able to see it. :(Ripplinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-45257853874192928292015-01-12T21:10:21.583-05:002015-01-12T21:10:21.583-05:00I'm a she, not a sir, but in the special that ...I'm a she, not a sir, but in the special that was aired of Robert's wedding, he was very intense.

This whole thing about Paula Deen makes me just plain mad!! I'm 64 so am close to her age. One evening back when this all happened I was having coffee with my sister and our cousin and they started talking about what Paula was accused of saying and I said both of you have used that word many times! Boy howdy, I thought I was just about to become dead meat!!!! Of course they were positive that neither one of them had ever used that word and my reply was that of course they had. So, as smoke was coming out of both of their ears i said have either of you had a filbert lately and do you remember what they were called when we were kids? Well, that left them both speechless, which is really rare for these two. Then to drive it home, I said, remember how we used to say "eenie meenie miney mo catch, I won't finish that old nursery rhyme. I remember asking what word were we supposed to substitute but I don't remember what the new word was but I don't do nursery rhymes now but will when I'm a Grandma and I will know the new version. Changing a word or dropping a nickname is a good thing, hopefully it shows that we are growing into better human beings?! The last point I want to make is Paula Deen was born and raised in the South, I'm from the North West, two completely different worlds.rxonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-27881665482421916332014-11-16T18:22:21.229-05:002014-11-16T18:22:21.229-05:00Penny is the executive chef at Lisa Vanderpumps...Penny is the executive chef at Lisa Vanderpumps's new hot spot PUMP so will access to any and all chefs...the fact she chose Penny gives her cache'Kippernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-85281527155100858962014-11-08T03:17:40.494-05:002014-11-08T03:17:40.494-05:00OK the prizes make no sense.

From an LA Times article: "Susie Fogelson, Food Network's senior vice president of marketing and brand strategy, who is constantly chiding contestants for not staying true to their authentic selves, says of Davidi: "She really is an empowered woman. Whether you like it or not, Penny is who she is." The article continues with Davidi endlessly going on about being "empowered." Now, empowered women are great! But, with Davidi and Fogelson on the same page, I would very much guess this is why Food Network viewers are getting Davidi continually shoved down our throats! Fogelson might be the one to thank.
