Thursday Night Smackdown
I'm Michelle, and you're on Thursday Night Smackdown, the only food blog named "Most Likely to Get Smashed at Prom and Wake Up in the Bathtub Wearing Someone Else's Pants." Do you like good food? Then stick around, loosen your belt and make yourself at home.

It’s-Not-Thursday-Night Smackdown: Smoked Out

I trust Martin Yan.  The apron, the wok-related aphorisms, the unflagging enthusiasm.  He’s lovable.  He’s approachable.  He’s like the Bob Ross of instructional Chinese food public television programming.  Happy little Peking duck.  Happy little scallion pancakes.

Liveblogging Hell’s Kitchen: Episode 9
