I’m thinking of pitching the networks about a Top Chef moms’ edition. Where untrained home cooks come together to battle each other in a series of challenges, one of which would be an arm wrestle followed by a beer chug. If you want to try this with a group of neighborhood moms, the Executive Gift Shoppe sells 32-ounce mugs for the bargain basement price of $35 each.
The Executive Gift Shoppe being THE place to shop for the executive in your life, should you wish to buy him or her a gigantic beer mug, laser pointer, or something from the “Executive games” category. Which disappointingly turned out to be nothing more than rosewood chess and card sets. Although the Business & Pleasure Stationery Box is available for the naughtier executive in your life.
Another challenge would be the cook-out-of-the fridge battle where we’d scrounge around shelves filled with old yogurts, shriveled cucumbers and a pack of Baker’s unsweetened chocolate. Trying to make something so tasty Tom Colicchio would smack his lips and sing “Hallellujah!”
Which is what I do just about every Sunday (cook out of a naked fridge, not the Tom thing, but that would be very cool too). So heads up fellow moms – if we ever do battle on Top Chef, I may have a pretty unfair advantage here.
