    Am I too old at age 61 to join this amazing culinary art achool? I chosen the wrong carrier, I am afraid. Love how such old videos about food are still top of the line.

    I've known chef Leonard for many years, I would attend the A.C.F National Conventions and I would always run into him, he also led ACF Teams in the Culinary Olympics. He is super accomplished in the culinary world and a true gentleman who's dedicated to the success of others!

    Several times, I had the original Cobb Salad at the Brown Derby on Wilshire Blvd. This is a 'first cousin' to the real Cobb Salad.

    And Cobb Salad looks like a cousin of the ancient Salmagundi, a term we still use in Virginia.

    Where is the Le Cordon BLUE located? I am only familiar with Le Cordon BLEU (pronounced like BL UH and not BLOO. My dream in life is to hear chefs that work for represent Le Coordon Bleu become smart enough to pronounce the name of the organization correctly. Have you ever heard a pilot say "Welcome aboard American Aerolinhas" instead of American Airlines?

    I have great respect for the heritage and the core of what Cordon Bleu has and will continue to offer the world in the culinary arts, is a Cobb freaking Salad! However, the greatest "Chefs and cooks in the world" feed off each other openly, and a community that it is to be cherished for generations. Ten day exams and photo shoots....in my opinion, can go fetch. Just my wee rant.

    The avocado is not going to melt, the egg and tomato is gonna roll away, it's a good looking plate but it's not a good salad.

  • @msr1116

    Not only keep the chicken skin but the bone and a little fat attached too---which develop a distinctly richer flavor than boneless/skinless/fat-trimmed breast meat. Fatty bacon, however, is not appealing so I buy turkey bacon or extra lean pork bacon.

    One of my biggest pet peeves...deconstructing something that doesn't need deconstructing. Why do this to the Cobb salad? Instead of a nice bowl where you get to use your fork and go to town, you have to knife and fork all of the various ingredients and try to craft your bites to include everything? I'll grant that it looks neat, but this would be so much less enjoying to eat. This is like when someone sends out a caesar salad with 3 whole romaine leaves. Pointless and silly.

    I agree Mr. Foley. I think you could make it look lovely on plate, not a bowl, by painting with the food in a manner similar to a Niçoise salad. Arrange the ingredients in groups paying attention to contrasting colors. While the teachers plate looks very sculptural & pretty, it would be difficult to eat. MHO

    Why can't all of these people that "star"in these videos about Le Cordon Bleu learn how to pronounce the name of this great institution? It is true that bleu in English is the color BLUE but that is not the correct pronunciation of the organization that has a French name. Blew is English and BlUH is French pronunciation. Mon DIEU!

  • @PJ-sh3nh

    yeah - that line about the chicken breast was pure BS. The reason the meat stays juicier if you cook it with the skin on, is that the fat from the skin renders into the meat. This most definitely increases the caloric and fat contents of the meat. I agree, it tastes better and is a better texture if you leave the skin on while cooking and then remove, but don't lie to people.

    I am very sorry sir but Le Cordon BLUE does not exist. However, Le Cordon BLEU does exist. Why can't you guys learn to pronounce the name of this fine institution correctly? Is there not at least ONE person in Le Cordon Bleu organization in the USA that can pronounce the name correctly in French? Mon Dieu!
