I love Big Bang Theory Tuesday, Nov 18 2008

I know it doesn’t have anything to do with food, but you have to watch this show. It is completely nerdy and I love the characters. This week the episode had a new version of rock-paper-scissors called Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock.You know the sign for Spock and lizard is pretty easy to figure out (pinch together your fingers to your thumb). It’s a hilarious new game and I LOVE the rules. Try playing this game with your friends^^

Dan

Rules for Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock

1. Scissors cuts Paper

2. Paper covers Rock

3. Rock crushes Lizard

4. Lizard poisons Spock

5. Spock smashes Scissors

6. Scissors decapitates Lizard

7. Lizard eats Paper

8. Paper disproves Spock

9. Spock vaporizes Rock

10. Rock crushes Scissors

Here are some of my favorite lines from the show.

“I believe the appropriate metaphor here involves a river of excrement and a Native American water vessel without any means of propulsion.” –Sheldon

“You’re gonna have to play outside! I’m not dressed to receive.” –Mrs. Wolowitz

Oh, and for those of you who want to play the game at home, some helpful soul over at IMDb posted the

How I Met Your Mother: The Best Burger in New York TVsquad Review Wednesday, Oct 1 2008

I know that I’m obsessed with this episode, but I wanted to give you one more perspective. This is from TVsquad.com

Dan

(S04E02) “This burger is so good I want to sew my ass shut.”

I don’t tend to open my reviews with a quote, but this one from Barney was too good to ignore. Might as well give it the Best Barneyism of the week, but it’s only one of a ton of memorable lines from all the characters in this episode. Was it funny? Damn straight. Did it make me hungry? Absolutely. Did it make me afraid of Regis Philbin? Maybe a little.

Even though Marshall’s pursuit of the fantastic burger he tasted on his first day in New York eight years ago was more a way for him to hang on to his youth for a few moments longer — he took a job with Barney’s company’s new acquisition, Goliath National Bank — that’s about the only connection to the show’s continuing storyline that we got.

This was more of a standalone episode, and Bays and Thomas and company really packed it in with funny lines and situations. Who could resist a starving Robin coming off her two-day cleanse (it was supposed to be seven days but she always finishes early) being served last and so tortured by the burger hunt that she resorted to licking ATM envelopes (“I will eat your hand!”)? How Marshall is able to wax eloquently and off-the-cuff about the burger (“It’s God speaking to us through this food!”) but had to find his wedding vows on the Internet? Lily saying that she just had her “first burgasm?” Ted’s explanation of the inverse relationship between a man’s self-esteem and his “underpants radius?” There was one funny line after another, with just enough story to make us want Marshall to actually find that burger.

Burgasm: How I met your Mother Season 4 episode 2 Tuesday, Sep 30 2008

One of my favorite shows of all time is “How I met Your Mother.” This episode has Marshall and the gang searching for New York’s Best Burger. Regis Philman makes a surprise cameo and he is hilarious. He plays a rage-aholic, meat feign who has been to that burger place.

This show has some of the best burger lines ever.

Lily: My first Burgasm.
Ted: I am never brushing my teeth again, unless it’s a toothbrush made from this burger.
Robin: Oh, my god, I just want you inside of me.
Barney: This feels so good. I’m worried I’m going to get this burger pregnant.
Marshall: If he does get that burger pregnant, I have dibs on the delicious burger babies.

The Marshall Burger Speech:

Just a burger!
Robin it is so much more than just a burger.
I mean that first bite. Oh, what heaven that first bite is.
The bun like a sesame freckled breast of an angel resting gently on ketchup and mustard below- flavors mingling in a seductive pudduah (?)
And then a pickle. The most playful little pickle.
And then a slice of tomato. a leaf of lettuce, and a…patty of ground beef so exquisite: Swirling in your mouth- breaking apart and combining again in a fugue of sweet, savory. So…delightful. This was no mere sandwich of grilled meat, toasted bread, Robin.
This was
God
speaking to us through food.

Exciting News: Gourmet’s Diary of a Foodie is coming to Korea and Thursday, Sep 4 2008

Gourmet’s Diary of a Foodie is coming to Korea in October and

I need your help! I am the consultant for the Korean episode and I am in the midst of planning the show. I can’t be there for all 8 days. (They’ll be here from October 9-16). And I am looking for foodies and interpreters to help with the show. Some of the Korean guides will appear in the show to guide the camera men through the restaurants, and different foods that Korea has to offer. There will be some traveling involved and I don’t need someone for all 8 days, so if you have a day off or some time, and would like to see how a TV show is made this would be a perfect opportunity.

You will be compensated for your time. It won’t be much, but there will be food!

Also if anyone has any recommendations for restaurants, markets, or people that you know in Gyeong Ju, Seoul, or Gwang Ju in Jeollanamdo, please let me know. We are looking for locations to shoot and for people to help guide.

Ideal candidates should be able to speak Korean and English and have good camera presence. You can contact me at seouleats@gmail.com

Dan

Here are some clips of the show.
