Perhaps YOU should have downed that syrup drowned, fudgebricking funnel cake slash brownie slash brittle none of which was enjoyable (according to Padma). <BR/><BR/>?<BR/><BR/>It sounds as if you don't trust Padma's palate as a judge. <BR/><BR/>And how absolutely prosaic that so many non-intuitives out there failed to catch the whimsical irony of using *drumroll* The Cherry.

He's 26, not 13! Besides, Ilan and Elia are 24. Cliff, Sam and Michael are 28. Marcel is right in the middle, age wise, when you look at the chefs left. <br /><br />If Padma is going to be fine with the inadequacies of Marcel's dish because "oh, he's young", why isn't she doing that for the even younger Ilan?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
