People preferred the old menu; HAH!!! The "old menu" could be had at the more than a dozen other pizza/steak/hoagie shops(yes 'hoagie' I'm a local) within a thousand yards, and better quality also. Dollar menus at fast food franchises; HAH!!! I'm on social security and still would rather pay for a good meal once a week, cook at home the remainder, than eat ANYTHING prepared on an assembly line! The economy; again HAH!!! The dozen or more other places are All still there. I could go on but it is a moot point. Bottom line; unwillingness to change with thetimes and listen to constructive criticism is detrimental to ANY business!norm Whitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-58669476855014101432014-07-19T13:17:29.079-04:002014-07-19T13:17:29.079-04:00I completely agree.

Remember he told Giada he'd give all of his tokens to see Lenny do it.<br /><br />I totally agree that Sarah needs to go. She whined through the entire episode. Sarah, you cooked a crap dish. Quit blaming Chris and be glad you didn't go home instead, because you seriously should have.Ladyirish317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-13694110607649224272014-07-18T13:17:46.600-04:002014-07-18T13:17:46.600-04:00Sarah needs to go home!

I am a Texas native and really hate how poorly she is representing our people and food!<br /><br />Also, Nicole LIED to everyone, including the judges! She should have been on the bottom this week and Emma should not have been (especially since Emma did so well on the food descriptions).HannahBombnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-64237718508454614822014-07-18T12:21:09.665-04:002014-07-18T12:21:09.665-04:00Mwa-ha-ha!

Now, the network is not only insular in terms of the guest judges, but there now seem to be no guest judges, and it's strictly up to "the triumvirate" and Susie and Bob.<br /><br />I don't think Alex G. even had any judging input on the "instructing" challenge.MoHubnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808060991534955915.post-7247249468629255862014-07-17T12:51:34.244-04:002014-07-17T12:51:34.244-04:00I hate to see people lose their businesses.
