On mobiletoaster chef


Domestic Goddess? Nigella Lawson no doubt is popular among discovery travel and living viewers... If you've been loyal to the same channel, there is another chef that would take your attention... no its not the naked chef, Jamie, but i am talking about the chef on the move with his giant mobile toaster that trails his car to different locations and also serves as premise to Bob Blumer's many wacky yet practical recipes.


One episode that would have touched the hearts (and increased stomach growling) of many non-americans was aired yesterday.. targetting NY taxi drivers who work till the wee hours of the night. Guess who's coming for dinner? Its breakfast!


Well Bob was cooking dishes that taste like dinner but look like breakfast, and as usual his guests (real life taxi drivers) were invited to help him in the toaster... the first guy was a very funny oriental looking guy, origin not specified, i am thinking probably Burmese or Vietnamese or even Cambodian, the second guy was a rather subtle but full of surprises, guy from Ghana, who apparently has been in the news for delivering baby for one of his passengers and last not least is a Sardarji (punjabi), we dont have to guess the origin here do we?


Although being an american show, it was nice to see that the non-americans that make the majority of the taxi drivers are beng recognised and invited for the honour (of cooking and eating).
