Remember on "Election Night", when Donna was reprimanded that it's just Foo Fighters, not the Foo Fighters?

Posted by nubby Jan 14 '09, 15:20

I'm watching Top Chef (for the first time), and it's an episode that they're on, and they introduce themselves as The Foo Fighters.

Hrm.

Responses:

Based on the preview clips along, the caption reads "Foo Fighters" and they're addressed as "Foo Fighters". - Mop Jan 14, 16:03
itunes says "Foo Fighters" only. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 15:39 3
- That's marketing. It got cool to name your band that way, suddenly if your band has a "The" in front of it you're old-fashioned -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:43
- Their website is Foo Fighters, not "the" Foo Fighters. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:40 1
  - heh, i looked there when i first saw the post above. check the entries on the front page - some do add "the" -- nm - b! Jan 14, 16:04
Wait... Top Chef featuring the Foo Fighters? I need to watch this. -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 15:29 2
- Nate speaks! A lot. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:32
- yes you do. i liked it, too. -- nm - b! Jan 14, 15:30
Dropping the "The" was a very nineties thing for rock bands to do. -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:25 1
- Spoons! -- nm - Mop Jan 14, 15:28
thats a great Top Chef episode -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:20 39
- "did that guy not like me very much? because i think he spit on my plate!" - kare Jan 14, 15:24 10
  - yep should be a new one (I was going to post Taylor's barfait comment, and you stole my thunder!) -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:31 2
    - I talked to him in December, he doesn't look like he eats. He was downing shots of Jack Daniels though. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:53
    - booyah! -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:43
  - There's one guy that has a restaurant called The Dildo?! -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 15:28 6
    - Dilido Beach - I misread that the first time I saw it too. -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:30 5
      - i know, right? oh jeffrey. no, no, no no no. -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:43 4
        
        I'm going to one of Fabio's restaurants next month. His pasta always looks great. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:47 3
        
        I want to just go look at Fabio, I think he's totally adorable. -- nm - Trish Jan 14, 16:11
        
        just like his grandma made it! (you must report) -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:51 1
        
        I hope he's there, probably not though. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:52
- Is TC the official cooking competitive reality show of ST? -- nm - nubby Jan 14, 15:22 27
  - totally. i really love top chef....nm - x Jan 14, 15:33 15
    - i honestly think it may be my favorite TV show. -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:45 1
      - (well. when project runway isn't on.) -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:45
    - That's one place I don't mind seeing product placements. It makes me believe I can do that stuff. I really can -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 15:36 9
      - please do not be heating (last ep. spoiler) - b! Jan 14, 15:38 8
        
        oh, that seemed gross to me -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:41 7
        
        indeed. - b! Jan 14, 15:46
        
        and what did it even go into? didn't she make crepes?? -- nm - kare Jan 14, 15:44 5
        
        you're right, I don't know what she used it in -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:46 4
        
        She might have made a sauce with it, were those the ones with bananas? She might have cooked them in the DDP. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:49 3
        
        to me.. (spoilery?) - b! Jan 14, 15:51 2
        
        I would think the crepes would not hold together. Maybe she pretended to use it. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:55 1
        
        we saw it pouring in? in any case, as i said... - b! Jan 14, 16:00
    - "today's Swanson's broth Quickfire challenge" -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:34 2
      - i like when they have someone call home and they frame it so basically all you can see is the phone they're talking into....nm - x Jan 14, 15:36 1
        
        t-mobile sidekick! -- nm - b! Jan 14, 15:40
  - Yes. (unless Iron Chef counts as a reality show, which I don't think it does) - con_carne Jan 14, 15:26 10
    - but I do like watching Hell's Kitchen speaking of Ramsey - however the cooking is a notch below the level of Top Chef -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:32 9
      - the last crew of chefs on hell's kitchen were embarrasingly bad....nm - x Jan 14, 15:34 1
        
        and one of them was definitely touched in the head -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:35
      - My friend had dinner at Hell's Kicthen Monday night. I haven't heard if he made a scene so he'll make it on air yet. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:34 6
        
        I'm envious. I want to eat at Hell's Kitchen (I'll order a Wellington off the regular menu) -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:35 5
        
        Someone I know ate their last season. He said the taping takes forever. They tell you when you're picked to eat first, there is only a small chance - jnine Jan 14, 15:38 4
        
        yeah, I realize that when I see him scream "Shut it down, shut it down!" prematurely - I'll have back up dinner plans if I ever do make it to HK :) -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:41 3
        
        It's not easy to get on, lots of people want to be screamed at on tv. They film on a studio lot and most of the diners have contacts in the industry. -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:43 2
        
        I'll just tell them that I know jnine :) -- nm - crash davis Jan 14, 15:45 1
        
        If only that worked, I would be there! -- nm - jnine Jan 14, 15:57
