I think it would be a great story going to the restaurant where
the Breaded Pork Tenderloin was first made.
Any ideas or suggestions to get this project going??
Thanks JeanAnne

Done the same Jean Anne. Guy probably doesn’t know what a pork tenderloin sandwich is. [;)]

I also emailed Alton Brown’s people too

maybe a feasting on asphalt stop??

I actually appreciate that honesty and authenticity it lends to the program. Alton did the same thing with the brain sandwich. I think in both cases they did not ridicule those who make or eat them, just that they didn’t care for them. I think such clips make for better food tv than most of what we see.

I watched. Ted Casper and Mike Runyon, the young owners of the Nook looked a little nervous around Guy. Guy kept referring to the hamburger as a stuffed hamburger and not a Jucy Lucy as we know it and he ate it wrong. He sliced it in half. That’s the wussy way of eating the sandwich. I wanted to see him bite into it and have the molten hot cheese squirt and pour down his chin and fingers. [;)]

I have heard that Matts Bar is the originator of the Jucy Lucy..[?]

Possibly. There are three contenders – Matt’s Bar in Minneapolis, the 5-8 Club in Minneapolis and the Nook in St. Paul. The Matt’s Bar Jucy Lucy is pretty plain and simple and I think the Nook has a better one. They definitely have a better bun if you watched the show.

Those buns at The Nook really looked special. Did I hear them correctly? Were they calling that burger a "Juicy Nooky"? [:I] pb

Guy was calling it a stuffed hamburger. I missed it if they called it a Juicy Nooky. The last time I saw the menu it was a Jucy Lucy. Note there is no "i" in Jucy. That is the generic Twin Cities term for the sandwich. They may be playing with the name to personalize it. They also have a hamburger named after the Minnesota Viking center Matt Burk. Matt Burk, Joe Mauer (Twins catcher and 2006 batting champ) and Paul Molitor are all Cretin Derham Hall alumni, the high school across the street from the Nook.

I, for one, would love to see the host go, "YUCK! That’s horrible!" after tasting something on TV.

I have seen Mark DeCarlo (sp?) on the Travel Channel make nasty faces or say something is bad.

I also remember Rachael Ray, on Letterman, telling a story about a place that served something that tasted bad but she kept a straight face and made a nice comment about it.

One-Iron
When Tony Bourodin did his ‘No Reservations’ Program on Namabia some locals poured an Ostrich Egg onto the coals and crap on the ground..and let it cook there, then served it to him. He made it thru a couple of bites then proclaimed it the worst thing he had ever put in his mouth. He said the same thing in another ‘primitive country’ episode where he was given a length of only semi-emptied pig intestine. It does happen, but those comments are vastly outnumbered by th swooning of the ladies and the goofy lip-smacking of the men on most of the foodie-travel shows.[}:)]

I’ve watched every episode so far. I think he’s less overbearing and enthiuastic when he’s not into a food item. I could be totally wrong but when watching I just seem to be able to notice when he’s not into something. (Not trying to brag or nothin’ just have F.S.P. [;)]
