Le Grand Fromage

The boys were dealing with varying levels of homesickness. 'Claggy' is a great word. And cereal is a lazy breakfast. So there!

John finished a plate of poutine. Quinno finished a plate of prime rib hash. Vincent finished a triathlon. To each his own.

We learned a lot this week, but mainly we learned that Vincent does NOT like the food at a particular sandwich chain. Anyone want to guess which one?

Cheese & Onion flavor is the undisputed King of potato chips. Michelin Star restaurants are the Formula 1 of cooking. Don't order your Beer Tartare medium-well. Life lessons from Le Grand Fromage.

To celebrate Bastille Day, the boys took the show on the road and recorded in front of a real live audience. The venue was a distillery. It seemed appropriate.

The Laughing Cow cheese was good. The Tapenade was good. The Reuben was good. The Hard Kombucha was bad. Very, very bad!

John likes every flavor of ice cream. Quinno doesn't like sauce with steak. And Vincent called someone a keto bobo. Fair enough.

Vincent had grilled lamb in Wyoming. It was good. John had special coleslaw in Arizona. It was good. Quinno had a pre-mixed Old Fashioned in Minneapolis. It was bad. Can't win 'em all.

Vincent loves discovering new wine. John loves making pancakes for his kids. Quinno loves crispy salmon skin. Lotta love on this week's show. Whole lotta love

We learned many things this week. In Europe you get bread and butter with oysters. Frozen M&Ms are an excellent snack. And everyone can pour a drink, but not everyone can be a bartender. So true.

With John celebrating his 50th birthday, Vincent promised to be nice. Quinno promised to keep the peace. Only one of them succeeded.

Here's some of what we learned this week: Rhubarb is everywhere at the moment...the pastry can kill a good pie...and whipped cream fixes everything. It's science.

What did we learn today? Chicago-style pizza is not pizza. Hunters & gatherers didn't eat pancakes. And it's not easy being Vincent. Just ask him.

Vincent is a fan of peanut oil...John loves a good pavlova...and Quinno enjoyed a steak sandwich. Hungry yet?

Did you know that an omelette should be yellow, not brown...that sawdust helps morels grow...and that an aperitif before breakfast is called alcoholism? But at Le Grand Fromage, we don't judge.

The boys got a little homesick. Lunacy and passion are very close cousins. And it's never right to order the healthy bowl. Never.

There's a right way to chop an onion. There's poetry to opening a bottle of wine. And Gordon Ramsey is not a raging idiot. Who knew?

Vincent believes in charisma, not age. John can't imagine seafood for breakfast. Quinno had a beer he didn't like. It'll all make sense when you listen. Maybe

After much thought, Vincent has determined that he's not crazy, he's just French. John and Quinno believe he's crazy AND French. You be the judge.

Vincent made paella. John made mussels. Quinno made excuses. It all made for a tasty show!

Vincent loves to cook the classics. John loves public speaking. Quinno loves the words Duck Fat. Lots of love on this week's show. Lots.

Vincent is obsessed with lemongrass. John doesn't like the aftertaste of a Negroni. And Quinno dared to try. FYI, he failed.

Vincent hates one course dinners. John will never get a Michelin star. Quinno doesn't eat dessert at home. It's the recipe for a tasty show!

Vincent baked with his daughter, Chloe. John got a TV cooking segment. Quinno got interrogated about scallops. Good times.

Vincent doesn't like chilled whiskey. John fired up the grill. And Quinno will soon be 300lbs and broke. It was that kind of show!
