When a Chef-Man Loves a Chef-Woman

Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up; this party is heating up faster than spicy balsamic basil orange marmalade on a hot Dallas sidewalk. Seems Mr. Gilbert Garza, took exception to Teresa Gubbins’ analysis of his wife Lisa’s performance last night. (Orren, you’re welcome for the page views.) He writes this. Come on TG, you’re so cynical. Where is the seafood lover in you? Why don’t you come over and watch the show with me next week? I’ll make Kelsey’s Red Lobster seafood dish and you can bring the rubber lobsters. You can borrow my vintage Pucci pjs. BTW, here is my favorite quote from Gilbert: “I know that Kent and Tracy Rathbun are in same business but I’d hardly imagine seeing them working fused at the hip.” Discuss.

Top three so far:

1. Adam
2. Aaron
3. Lisa, who seems a likable but thoroughly ridiculous person

Have watched one episode, last night’s. Lisa Garza is the fakest person I’ve ever seen. Maybe it’s because I don’t live in her fanbase-land. And I had to laugh at her husband’s defense — obviously he had to, so he could get him some. (BTW I’m a woman). I live in southern CA — definitely not impressed by “oh, no, all over my $300 shirt and expensive shoes!” Get real. If her husband cries poverty, she should wear real clothes that reflect that, it would make her more human. But then, you see, I know this is all edited and they want her to do this, to be the fake ‘heel’ of the show. She’s hardly memorable as far as reality villains go. And notice how she’s already pimping herself out with local appearances, and will forever advertise that “I was on a reality TV show!” Whee. If this show follows formula, she’ll be around until 4th or 3rd place.

having known a couple of people who have appeared on reality shows..i can honestly tell you….most of the time what you see isn’t who the “real” person is. Scenes are clipped and cut together for ratings, folks. I’m sure it would be a totally boring show if everyone appeared to be likeable…there always has to be a “villian”….right?

My husband and I have found business success and a happy marriage by working together – apart. While he runs the more high profile and day-to-day operations, my duties entail the more behind the scene details that keep the bills and employees paid. I still deal with the perception that I am not a “real” restauranteur, yet my industry-specific accounting and liquor law knowledge keeps our restaurant in compliance and profitable. I think many spouses within this industry struggle with similar perceptions.

I am happier knowing that we’ve found a great way to work together by not stepping on each other’s toes. I think that Lisa and Gilbert, Kent and Tracy have found similar ways of attaining personal satisfaction, working together in a complementary fashion, not a competitive one.
