The chefs cook for Dita von Teese and a legend of Thai cuisine.
This week we're treated to tuna bacon, James doing push-ups, and Art in a Speedo.
There's nothing like a bit of Japanese cooking to bring out the worst in almost everyone.
Art and Chris jump right back into the role of bickering couple, turning prep time into a therapy session.
Curtis's hair has lost its former spiky exuberance and looks flatter, more somber and mature, perhaps the first sign we can take this season seriously.
"The chefs toast their amazing journey and that’s that: 'Around the World in 80 Plates' concludes its first and only season. Yeah, I’m calling it."
"Did you know there’s a very particular way one should attach a goat carcass to an iron cross before cooking it by an open fire? I didn’t — maybe because I’m not an Argentinian Satan-worshipper?"
"I can feel them judging me as I grind more pizza into my snark-hole while wearing my second-cleanest pair of pleated khaki shorts."
"Would Curtis Stone enjoy humiliating me? Would I enjoy being humiliated by Curtis Stone?"
"I refuse to be brainwashed into believing that Italian food is any different from any other kind of food! Food is food, people. It’s mostly vegetables and grains and whatnot."
"Her name is Nana Nonna, and she’s one of the world’s most famous Italian grandmothers and speaking of mothers, she can cook like a motherf-cker, so watch out."
"Curtis Stone’s shirt is amazing; it’s aqua-ish colored, and seems to be made of a fabric that hasn’t been invented yet."
"Just like that, my opinion of Cheven drops another 10,000 feet. Now James Cameron can investigate it in his submarine."
"I still can’t believe people eat cheese that comes out of a sheep’s butthole or wherever it comes from."
"What was billed as a celebration of international culinary traditions becomes instead an orgy of overclocked consumption."
It's the second-to-last episode! (Probably? Maybe? Hopefully, anyway.)
We're in the home stretch, but why are the chefs suddenly in Canada?
