If I had to base my vote only on this video I would have to give it a thumbs down. We were shown a dirty oven and then watched as wine was poured into a pan while it was still on the burner.
Report Abuse
can't wait to try it!
Report Abuse
In the future, clean your kitchen and oven! Who would want to eat in your house?
Report Abuse
you are uneducated my friend! learn to spell. learn how to use words properly... "than" you can "pop" it in to first where you really dont belong!
Report Abuse
WHO is uneducated? Thank you!
Report Abuse
There's a little thing called punctuation that you should learn about! His over WAS dirty. I say it like it is!
Report Abuse
Dear Emily,
I think you should not turn this fun competition into this back and forth name calling. I think people should be mature and not add to negative comments.
Report Abuse
If you are going to be mean, you should review your comments before submitting them because I think you meant oven instead of "over". This makes you like the bigger fool.
Report Abuse
cool food man.
Report Abuse
Let's all just get along. Imagine how great this dish will taste when cooked in a clean over in Chicago..
Report Abuse
yeahhhh! go AP!
Report Abuse
Why is everyone hating on my dads oven, I'm sorry if I ain't got a fency oven like everyone esle. ;) I like my oven

This is fantastic! I will share the recipe; don't know if I'll be as generous with this tasty dish!
Report Abuse
Touché. I'm an old woman; was a restaurant pro for 30 in two of the best in CT. If you can't take ANY criticism on your "presentation" now, wait until you get in front of those judges!
Report Abuse
Young people today think life is all about getting the most “votes”; Chef work requires TOTAL attention to detail. Some day, you will thank me.
Report Abuse
PSS - My daughter-in-law who is in this contest also thinks you think I'm Fred? Do you? Is that why all the hostility? HA! I've been called a lot of things in life, but never Fred.
Report Abuse
Emily Your the greatest =]
Report Abuse
LOL I never said you were Fred my dear. and If you were I'd be a little considered.Plus look I entered this contest because I thought it would be fun
Report Abuse
you know trying something new. So I could have a story to tell to the grand kids one day. I'm not being hostile, I'm far from it. ;D
Report Abuse
so if you still wanna go on about this than by all means, your just wasting your time and energy doing so. ;]
Report Abuse
Lets represent the eager, motivated, and educated young generation that has a little bit more class and decorum to bicker about cleaned ovens.
Report Abuse
Once you show Chicago who you are, you'll climb right up to 5 stars and buy the best oven ever! Make me proud! Voting everyday.
Report Abuse
sounds delicious, I'll let you know how it turns out.
Report Abuse
Chanmaly,
There is still a little thing called the Board of Health you have to deal with when you run a restaurant. Perception is reality. Sorry to inform you more "young eand more educated."
Report Abuse
Oh, I made a type again... okay, slam me for it.
You guys are great.
Report Abuse
I won't post on here anymore - I'm an old fart and you don't care what I say, I gather. I only served the likes of Paul Newman in my day, but what would I know?
Report Abuse
I respect ambition. Reality TV makes you thik this is so easy. You have NO idea how hard this is going to be AFTER you win.
Report Abuse
Okay, so I can't type. Sue me! Bye. It's been fun. Paul, you never know who is watching you, so just knock that pride down a notch.
Report Abuse
Hi, I am Emily's daughter-in-law
You did think she was Fred. Funny. Details. Runs in the family...
Report Abuse
She is totally legit. Paul, she likes you but thinks your presentation is sloppy. Thinks you might lose to who she calls "jar sauce boy" in the last round.
Report Abuse
Paul,
I am in the contest:Scallop Pinot Grigo. Sorry if he offended, althought you'd be wise to follow this womean's lead.
Report Abuse
Lighten up ladies, I already know the whole HACCP Protocols and health safety in a kitchen, it's a homemade video! A kitchen our home! get over it.
Report Abuse
sorry...woman's.. Not drinking... I work 3 jobs!
Would any of you be open to having Paul be #1 and me 3 instead of Lauie?
Report Abuse
So, you are in school like the other guy?
Report Abuse
Paul, no more joking here- Em and I wish you the very best.
Report Abuse
I made the dish and mouthwash seems to pair the best
Report Abuse
Come now, Children. No freind of Emily's posted comment. In fact, Emily voted for you today. So did I to show we are not those kind of people.
Report Abuse
YOU GIVE JWU A REALLY BAD NAME ITS A DISGRACE THAT YOU GO THERE!
Report Abuse
Gotta love how fiesty this has gotten. Take off those aprons and throw down...
Report Abuse
The average person doesn't have a perfectly kept kitchen or oven. The point is he worked very well with what he had.
Report Abuse
I can picture the possibilities he will have some day in a large fully stocked kitchen :) Oh the places you will go Paul!
Report Abuse
smashing.
Report Abuse
Hi Paul! I enjoyed watching your video and making your dish!
Report Abuse
Paul, do not be affected by any negative comments made on this page by Emily & her family. I think you've been a great sport throughout this competition and encourage you to stay focused!
Report Abuse
Some of those comments did not come from who you think they came from, but from complete strangers trying to stir the pot. Good luck, Paul.
Report Abuse
GOOD LUCK PAUL <3
Report Abuse

It’s the shrew. Had health issues. Voted 4 U 25 times. BTW - don't blame D-IN-LAW, Yes, she was snippy w/you but she had a death in the family. It was a hard week for her and she didn’t need this.
Report Abuse
PS – The ability to self-promote is great BUT you'll only get your 15 min. this way (unless you go into politics). Cook your heart out, Paul. Show me your real talent now. LUV - Your Auntie EM.
Report Abuse
I am making this tonight! Looks good.
Report Abuse
GOOD LUCK PAUL!!!

Dear Emily, Sending you an express delivery of best wishes. My condolence to your daughter-in-law...May happy memories carry her through this sorrowful time.
