The Incomparable LDP

Caught the end of a special Thanksgiving Iron Chef tonight, just in time to see the judging featuring not one but two Dos Minutos favorites, Tiki Barber, and the incomparable Lou Diamond Phillips.

One thing was clear: Lou Diamond has an absolute passion for fine foods, and hearing himself tell stories about the meaning of Thanksgiving. LDP on one dish, a piece of lobster topped with toasted brown sugar and a light cream sauce: "This is fantastic because the initial Thanksgiving was a celebration of cultures coming together, and this dish represents that eloquently with its mixture of East and West."

Tiki Barber's opinion on the same dish: "It tastes like cereal."
