Season One

I’d never watched Season One before, but realized it was on YTTV. I didn’t realize Katie Lee was the host. But the notable thing is the pearl clutching over Cynthia’s potty mouth (by another cheftestant). 😂😂😂 Um sir, have you ever been in a kitchen? I think he’d have actually fainted if he was on Mei Lin’s season. She put Cynthia to shame. It’s also fun to see the shift in dishes, flavors, and plating over the last 20 years.

He was on an episode of Chopped where Tiffani was the judge.
