i think it's  high time for another game around here....maybe based on a game show ...i'm thinking something along the lines of "wait, wait, don't tell me", but about food....maybe a cross between 'jeopardy' and 'wait, wait'...anyone game?  anyone got any ideas?  come on......let's play....we could all use a few laughs these days....before the dog days of summer...

Ha ha!  I love NPR's Sunday late-morning/early-afternoon lineup, including "wait wait"!

Very...Cerebral programming - and provides a good break for me from constantly listening to music.

yeah, sometimes chef we need to unplug the music to see what's going on around us without it being force fed down our gullets from primetime news programs...for me, npr is a great way to do that with bbc news and morning edition etc...and who doesn't love 'car talk' and 'prarie home companion' or 'the splendid table'...i love prepping to npr on sundays...okay, though, back to the game!!!!

i don't have any clue or any idea of the how to's...i'm only the 'idea' person....i'm not even really very good at games...i just thought it would be fun...maybe you guys can come up with something workable...seems you're doing okay so far....i definately think there should be food questions involved though......

My laptop is not playing nicely today…

I think your idea of stump the chef/cook is great!  Pix, questions, either way and

then maybe add in the WAIT WAIT! Aspect too?

Nobody answered Joey's question yet!!

How does Joey's suggestion of either ask a question of display a picture

and then the OP of that post has the option of a "WAIT WAIT" followup to that...

Who's playing?

"Wiener" refers to something from Vienna which is in Austria not Germany. 

 

No one knows where hot dogs originated, but there are a lot of wonderful, apocryphal stories.  What's important to remember is that when a  real men goes to the ball game, he always eats two.
