Your captions in the comments and winners (free PoP t-shirt) picked Friday. If you find a caption particularly funny be sure to let me know in the comments and I will select a reader pick too.
What do you mean when you said you fed us Spanish balls?
And to the pleasant surprise of the celebrity chef panel, it was not a rolling pin in his pocket…
“We will now proceed to the tater tot casserole competition.”
I always like a well-executed Duggar reference…
This hearing will come to order. We will be examining who actually stole the cookie from the cookie jar.
cute!
So this is what a cooking class looks like in Washington, DC.
Padma sank into mute depression upon hearing that the panel would be tasting 157 small plate entries from Washington DC, 100 of which involved something wrapped in bacon.
“And a big thank you to Cosi for providing sandwiches for tonight’s event.”

“So this one time, Roberto Donna asked if he could borrow some money from me…”
“We asked if you could get us Panera, not Padma, you idiots!”
“Do you really think it tastes better just because it comes from a converted mail truck?”
Now that we’ve wrapped up the half-smoke competition, we’ll move on to the next round…another half-smoke competition.
I’m only going to say this once, Mr. Zimmern. Leggo my Eggo.
When we heard karaoke night, we didn’t realize it would be Jose singing the best of Barry Manilow…
Much to everyone’s surprise, the microwave nachos took first prize.
In an effort to boost support for tap water at the inauguration, DC Water officials hired outside consultants.
Whenever Andres began singing “Strangers in the Night,” the crew knew to just shut up, smile, and pray for it to end soon.
Padma seemed to be the only one to get the 411 on the surprise ingredient for the Bourdain v. Zimmern cook-off.
While the other chefs entertained the audience, Padma was assigned the task of keeping an eye on the monitor showing the dungeon in which they had hidden Spike.
You had me at small plates
it’s so bizarre. (cue intro music)
“Let the Eeeeagle Sooooar!”
“And may you bless this food we are about to receive…no matter WHAT thte ingredients…”
“Ok, open your baskets. Chefs, you must prepare a meal using these ingredients:
The 11th Street Chicken,
Half Smokes
Mumbo sauce
….and Bacon. GO!”
Padma is a celebrity eater…
“José, unless you have some sort of animal testicle in your palm for me to eat get your goddamn hand off of me.”

Andrés attempted a faith healing, but Zimmern remains committed to swagger jacking local cuisines the world over.
This goes out to my girl Carla…”Hootie Hoo!”.

What not to wear – celebrity chef edition
American Geriatric Idol contestant gets up close and personal with the judges during his Mel Torme bit.
“We are unable to find anything on this planet Andrew Zimmerman will not eat!”
This is just an observation, but I’m pretty sure Andrew Zimmern is being inappropriately touched by Jose Andres
