Unlike other popular food blogs, The Gurgling Cod has resisted the siren song of shilling for The Food Network and Bravo* recapping cooking TV shows. If there were more episodes of Tom Oatmeal's cooking show, that would change. Fast.
A Scene from my Late Night Cooking Show!
Tom Oatmeal: (drunk. Slurring speech) This is Stouffer’s Mac and Cheese. It cooks for 45 minutes in the oven.
Camera Guy: It’s pretty late. Why don’t you just have cereal or something?
(Tom opens the oven and puts the mac and cheese in there.)
Tom Oatmeal: I’m just going to lie down for a minute while that cooks…
Camera guy: Uhh, I don’t know if that’s a good idea…
Tom Oatmeal: It’s fine. I’ll keep my eyes open.
(4 hours later…)
Homeowner: (On the phone with police) My wife and I heard the smoke alarm and he was sleeping on our couch. Nothing is missing, but I think he tried to cook something.
*Except when they pay me. Eventually.
