Trashmii, what up? Sorry this recap is so late. So they’re moving this show to Thursday nights on Bravo. Does the move to the work week time slot mean the show has more or less viewers? I don’t know how television programming decisions are made. On this very special episode, we open with Waylynn visiting Andrew Kirschner at his restaurant, Tar & Roses. Apparently, she’s “dessert consulting” for him and has created this “deconstructed” (I effin’ hate that word with a passion. It’s the “like” of the chef world.) icebox cake for Andrew to consider putting on his menu. The dish does sound good, especially the whipped honey and ground candied ginger parts of it. During their conversation about the cake (which looks like throw up when she plates it), they spend more time flirting with each other than discussing the cake. Presenting ‘Nilla Nuts, Chef Extraordinaire, and his sidekick sous chef, Candied Ginger.Did you know Nina has no friends? In case you didn’t assume this up front, she’s lying again. We get to watch her go back to her private chef gig at the same home where we saw her before, since her L.A. Food & Wine booth debut did not lead to the thousands of chef job offers she hoped to get after the event. Curse you, melone! But I still love you, prosciutto.Nina is, in fact, self-aware (shocking!) when she interviews that she can’t promote herself as a great chef when she doesn’t have the technical skill to back it up yet. So it’s back to babysitting in the kitchen. This time, the two little rich brats are actually helping Nina cook dinner for their family, which is not heartwarming at all. Baby girl seems really sweet and quiet, but big brother Alejo seems like he’ll be waking up in a hotel in 20 years with coke on his nose and a dead hooker in his bed. We visit with Brenda in her new house, and her friend Whitney (another food blogger) has come over to see the new place and chat with her over a glass of wine. Whitney seems really sweet and genuinely interested in what Brenda has to say, which is good, since Brenda spends most of the “conversation” talking over Whitney and vomiting her own feelings into the one-sided discussion. Are you really trying to jump in during the middle of my monologue, friend?Also, I’m starting to think that Brenda’s wine glasses should come with straws. But Whitney takes all the interruptions in stride. Now I understand why Whitney prefers the company of gay men over straight women. Side note: one of my favorite parts of every episode is when Brenda finds a new way to call Kat a slut. She does it at minute seven of this ep. New record! At “Food Lab”, Nina’s meeting with her sort-of godmother, Lauren Hutton, to check in and whine about how she has no friends. Who needs friends when you have me, darling?Lauren seems really cool, which makes me wonder why she bothers hovering […]
