Which, all the college education in the world can't make up for a lack of basic common sense. She put no more care into having this restaurant than she did into making not one, not two, but four kids with no father in sight (something's not right with a woman who's as reasonably attractive as she is with no man anywhere around, for that matter). And IMHO bringing in RI was an attempt to cash out on it, rather than just walk with the $30,000 she was offered she hoped to sell it for enough to pay off her bills and have money left over.<br /><br />I don't feel bad for her and I wasn't too surprised to see she'd thrown in the towel.becky21knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-18846155696076982482015-03-05T02:24:59.155-05:002015-03-05T02:24:59.155-05:00Did not like her from the start of the episode.

"Robert, I really need you to save me!" Barf. She used the show to fix up the place and deal with all the deferred maintenance, and then she sold up. But I guess the show uses her to get an episode, so it's all even.

(Especially if overhead and labor aren't included.) <br /><br />I was just making the point that if you're able to get $1 million to come through your front door in a year's time, then it seems as if you should have something left after all of the bills are paid. <br /><br /><br />Of course, running a restaurant isn't cheap. And San Antonio is a big, expensive city. Maybe it takes more than $1 million just to keep the bills paid. That's very possible.<br /><br />But, after seeing the so-called 'owners' of The Knife & Fork in action, we have a pretty decent understanding of how and why the financial side of things went off the rails.RI_FANnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-78189956112147602282015-01-27T14:59:19.052-05:002015-01-27T14:59:19.052-05:00Yus ser...Ah dun spelt it wwong....tanke ewe doode...Yus ser...Ah dun spelt it wwong....tanke ewe doode!!!Cakesternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-16989378386560521452015-01-26T18:25:29.576-05:002015-01-26T18:25:29.576-05:00Yes, his kids are great & he's wonderful w...Yes, his kids are great & he's wonderful with them. I'd seen on Twitter that Bastianich was leaving. I'm glad because even with the adults on Master Chef he can absolutely be just cutting. Ramsay & Graham would criticize contestants, but I felt Joe was outright mean sometimes.<br />I don't know much about the chef that is replacing Joe. It will be interesting to see how she works out. I read on a blog by someone that was on Master Chef Season 2, that the first few seasons Joe was petrified of having to speak on camera & that's where his on-screen persona came from. The people making the show would tell him to just say hmmm or something, trying to get him comfortable.hoppy1913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-43034844468914195842015-01-26T18:21:03.483-05:002015-01-26T18:21:03.483-05:00Hubby & I both said almost that exact thing.
