I understand your ire Zora. Josh Grinker be damned! He should know better! Any self-respecting human being knows that the key to a good omelet is not to flip it, and not to over cook it.

I think that's about all I can say at this point without digging myself in a deeper hole of cattiness. I just want people to be provided with information that will really help them cook something successfully, and most contemporary food TV doesn't really hit the mark. And my comment in the video about not being embarrassed to serve an omelette for dinner wasn't a put-down of the AG omelette precisely--it was meant more as a suggestion that you _can_ eat omelettes for dinner and not feel like you somehow failed to make yourself a "real" dinner. I know a lot of people think of omelettes as breakfast food only, which is a shame. They have saved my ass for dinner plenty, but I do feel a little more grown-up eating a nice delicate veggie-filled French-style omelette than a big ol' honkin' three-egg diner omelette. So I wanted to suggest that to people. Can I again emphasize that I like the AG and his show? I think that’s about all I can say at this point without digging myself in a deeper hole of cattiness.

There's room for many ways to make omelets, even if they don't look good to you. Your contempt is oozing off the screen. Why on earth would would you worry about what anyone should or shouldn't be embarrassed to serve in omelet kingdom? Why so catty?
