Anybody else watch the Iron Chef Christmas special the other night? Paula Dean and Cat Cora, vs. Tyler Florence and Robert Irvine.
The secret ingredient was SUGAR. (With Paula, I was hoping for butter
)
Paula managed to make a fudge concoction that included Velveeta, turn it into balls, put it on a stick, dip it in caramel, then in white chocolate, and then in nuts.
The comment from the judges was "um, very sweet".
Cat plied them with alcoholic beverages, including a peppermint candy martini, and they managed to win.
Tyler completely blew a Buche de Noel - which the judges described as a "plank instead of a log."
The judges included Tina Fey - who at the end just put her head down on the table in defeat and cried for mercy.
