Don't want to be the one the documents this, but for the record:

Someone please put out an APB for some real contenders. Seems like we have some folks who come to sit at the table and walk away with leftovers they'll never finish in three days.
 
Can anyone explain how they are cooking the steaks? It's like everything I read not to do. They flip it several times, then drop the weight on it. I've always understood its best to put it on the grill and leave it alone. And the weight?

I’m not sure, but cross-contamination seems to be a key part of the process.

It's ground beef that we were told not to put weights on as the 'fat' is more easily squeezed out causing a dry burger. I don't see these weights as an issue.

And of they aren't big on getting a sear then I don't see the flipping as an issue, either. I think it helps them time the the cook. If they kept a steak idle for 4 minutes while they are multi-tasking then they might lose track as to how long the steaks are on. I know they have mastered the tong steak poke but still.
 
Flipping and the weight helps them cook evenly. What I can't wrap my mind around is that there are often steaks that are literally on fire... how does that taste good?

It'd take a lot of flipping to dry out a 5 lb steak. I'm sure it's to cook the thing through without scorching either side.

Couple observations on this guy: i) how long before he removes his jacket for the meat sweats? ii) I love how he dropped a crumb of potato on the table, but picked it up with his hand and ate it. This guys not looking for shortcuts! iii) gotta question the camera and/or human placement. Weak.
 
camera in inching up. can't see the lower two chairs.

They probably have a kill switch in the event of projectile vomiting on the grill.

"Cut the feed!! Cut the damn feed!"

the camera positioning has been horrendous ever since they moved it. They really need to go back to the Classic View. This Eye-in-the-Sky one is a disaster.

Exactly. Hide the cockroaches NOW!!!
 
Feed is back, but camera angle is worse than ever. Let's all put in a request to make the change back to the original angle or something in between (I just did). I used random stuff for email and phone.

My note: Please fix the camera - We need to see the entire table. Please go back to the original angle or something in between. The current one is not great.
 
I really prefer the overhead, much better view of the food. But they gotta let us see the entire table and the grill. Perhaps a slightly wider angle would do it.

There is a dinner on the table but no eater. And a clock is counting down...
 
We should chip in and buy them a new webcam. I’ll match donations

True story. I submitted a request last week about the blurry feed and I received a reply from a Peggy Sandlin. She's probably thinking, "people actually check the feed?" and "from Connecticut?!"

"We are having some issues with the camera and they are working on it."
 
Got a couple of cowboys at the table now looking like they are trying to recreate the Paul Rudd "Hey, look at us" meme.
 
I'm not sure yet whether to take these guys seriously. They've got those goofy matching hats on. Their pace is a bit pedestrian and they just seem to lack purpose.

And has a new side been added? One guy looked like he was eating some corn or something but of course the camera isn't showing the bowl.
 
12:30 and no action on the grill?
