What do you get when you marry Beyonce's "Single Ladies" with Top Chef Las Vegas? The answer is "Hungry Ladies," a Funny or Die music video parody of this season's TC. While I do love the oven mitt as glove replacement (and the dead ringers for Ashley and Gail), overall, I find the parody cheesy to the point of pain. What's your take?

Colin Cowie opened his New York apartment (actually, make that penthouse) to a dozen or so food writers on a recent evening. The goal was to showcase the space, which he designed himself over a two-year period, as well as some of his favorite holiday recipes.
Following a few words of welcome, Colin took us on a tour of his three-level apartment. He took care to point out space-saving devices that work wonders when he's entertaining guests, including a smart set of rolling doors that hid both his serving area and kitchen.
He had a small team on hand to help move appetizers from his Electrolux-outfitted kitchen into his modern dining room, which contained enough nooks and crannies to hide his vast collection of glassware. In his words, he's "the Imelda Marcos of dishes." He prepared a spread of sausage rolls, toasted nuts, brandy cake, and pear cocktails.
During the Winter, when I hear the word "stew," I automatically envision a slow-cooked and hearty beef or lamb dish. That's why, when I came across this recipe for a Mexican-style fish stew, I got excited.
