More Than A Little Cheesy
Air Date: 11/15/2003
Contestants: Megumi, Horikoshi Nori (堀越のり), Ono Mayumi (小野真弓)
Guest Judges: King Kong
Theme Ingredient/Recipes:
Clams (from Chiba) / Clam Chowder and Vongole Blanco
Recap: Much like the other episodes that she's been in, this one is going to be all about Nori-chan. The other two contestants pretty much end up taking a back seat to her antics. Though there was a fair bit of confusion at the start, some weren't sure what Vongole (pasta) was, while Mayumi I think had problems with the thought of cooking clams (not entirely clear on that). Nori topped them all by first calling it 'Cream Chowder' and then getting Blanco mixed up with Tomato. I think her mind is still on Kima Curry.
Megumi was up first when it came to tasting, and to give some relief to Nori, she flubbed a bit. She used sour cream in her Clam Chowder and she didn't leave enough time to cook her pasta. Mayumi was next and really impressed the judges with both dishes, even though her chowder was a bit on the watery side. They also had fun pointing out how the could use a fork to actually wind the pasta up rather than eating it like Pocky.
The fun soon ended as Nori presented her dishes. First up was the chowder, which was just short of being inedible. It felt terrible going down and left a really bad aftertaste. Turns out that she used parmesan cheese in both her Vongole and Chowder. She used so much cheese in her Vongole, that it looked like Tenkasu (chunks of tempura batter). I've mentioned before that Nori-chan does her best to keep the judges from running to her bucket. She hit on a new strategy this week, pinning them against the table. She even had Joushima crying out for his mother.
The Ranking board only took on one new person this week, as Mayumi almost scored a Top-Epu in her first outing. Meanwhile, Megumi found herself behind the set paired with Yingling, while Nori's reset didn't help her at all. She ended up as the Bottom-Epu!
Ranking ( out of 112 ):
Megumi: 52 -> 108
Horikoshi Nori: 112 (Ranking Reset)
Ono Mayumi: 26 (New Entry)
