Hi Dave,
DD> All the Kitchen Aids I remember seeing in person have been that garish
DD> red. I pay so little attention to the boob tube that there may have
DD> been, indeed, probably were, other colours shown on Emeril, Rachel
DD> Ray, David Rosengarten or the Too Hot Tamales sets.
RH> There are at least a dozen different colors of KA mixers. Our older
RH> daughter has a 5 qt model, in red. Seems that red is the color they use
RH> for most of their side accessories like scapers, measuring cups, etc.
DD> So Amazon's web page shows me. IIRC most of the Food Network folk used
DD> the 5 quart version w/tilting head. When I got my first KA in the 6
DD> qt. size its head did not tilt - which made changing beaters, etc. a
DD> PITA
DD> sometimes. Or having to release the beater to remve the mixing bowl.
That is the one major downside to the 6 qt size but I can deal with it.
I'll be firing up the mixer later this week for another fig cake.
DD> One of my favourites, back when I was watching TeeVee was David
DD> Rosengarten, host of Taste, he took a deep dive into a different food
DD> every episode.
Never saw him but sounds interesting.
RH> Our favorites were "Good Eats" and "Iron Chef".....while in HI, we
RH> caught some of the Japanese versions of the latter. Couldn't
understand RH> what they were saying but still fun to watch.
DD> I had several hosts that I enjoyed. And a few - Bobby Flay and Guy
DD> Fieri - who had me reaching for the remote. Fieri came to my town to
I don't mind Bobby but I don't care for Guy at all.
(Lanny DD> Huggins) develop his menu - I w3as a taste tester for
new/proposed DD> dishes, I was curious to see how they were treated by
TVFN.
DD> When I went there for lunch soon after he had blown through town I
DD> asked my waitress how it went with the "big deal". Her comment was
DD> "What a
DD> 'Richard Cranium'!" (not her exact words ... cleaned up for use in the
DD> echo) www.charlieparkersdiner.com
DD> Previous owner Mike Murphy won a $25K first prize in the Thomas
DD> English Muffin Breakfast contest. In a very classy move he divided the
DD> prize
DD> money among the staff.
That was very classy of him, don't usually see much of that.
