Gourmet: Episodes 15 & 16

by javabeans

Gourmet really took an upswing with these two episodes, I thought. Sometimes I feel like I can see all the strings dictating the course of play -- those dramatic puppet...

Gourmet: Episodes 13 & 14

by javabeans

Sometimes I'm amazed at how much story Gourmet can make out of a simple plot point or cooking competition -- most of our plots thus far have centered on either...

Gourmet: Episodes 11 & 12

Gourmet (SBS): Episodes 1-4
