The Friday Five: Homage to the Top Chef!

This Fall my family has been energetically watching Top Chef on the Bravo channel. My teenage daughter watches with the dream of some day being a chef. My husband watches because he loves reality shows and I mean, really loves them. Plus the whole competition thing really works for him. Me, I love cooking and good food. Every so often I get an idea from this group of talented young chefs who are competing for big money and honors galore.

The winner for this season was Hung. Not the fan favorite, but he won fair and square. In his bio, he says if he were a food "I would be spicy chili - it takes a while to get used to, but once you eat it you always come back for more!" With that in mind, here is this week’s Friday Five.


  1. If you were a food, what would you be?

  2. What is one of the most memorable meals you ever had? And where?

  3. What is your favorite comfort food from childhood?

  4. When going to a church potluck, what one recipe from your kitchen is sure to be a hit?

  5. What’s the strangest thing you ever willingly ate?
Bonus question: What’s your favorite drink to order when looking forward to a great meal?

Let us know in comments if you play. Post a direct link to your blog entry in your comment using the following formulation:

  36. I am sooo late in palying today! We had a funeral and babygirl has come down with the croup, while hubbie takes the youth on a weekend retreat! I finally played here

    ReplyDelete
  37. I finally had a few minutes to play, here.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Well, I think I've read them all! We've eaten bugs, food best known as road kill, innards, raw fish, weird fish and some things that just can't be described.

    Some of the strangest things we like to eat are actually our comfort foods. And we tend to really groove on boxed macaroni and cheese!

    The memorable meals were as much about the company we keep as they were about the menu.

    Blessings to all and thanks for playing!
