Palate

Did anyone else watch Iron Chef America (Battle Chocolate) last night? If so, does anyone else feel like Jeffrey Steingarten is just a terrible bitter old man. He is very critical of the food, but hey that's what he's there for, cool by me. It's just the way that he treats his fellow judges. He is condescending to a degree I didn't know possible and snipes at everyone. Why would anyone want to be near him...ever? Kudos to the other judges for being adult enough to return time after time to put up with him without stooping to his level. And Jeffrey...get a grip.
