), and the new Fab Five were the guests.
got to Antoni, who sunnily replied, Hows it going?
It is polite and bad.
Tonot knowto respond how you doin?
back toWendy Williams!?
This is not-getting-it on a high level.
For me, not a good foot to start out on.
But what can I say?
I watched the show and Im gonna bravely say it: Antoni is my favorite!
Maybe it was the fact that he endearingly cant really dance but stillgoes for itin the intro package.
Maybe it was the grilled-cheese recipe!
Iamusually hungry for cheese and bread.
But Im in love, and I dont think I ever stood a chance.
Im gonna be a revolutionary here and say that I think the haters are … Bowen, as Morgan McMichaels recently said onDrag Race, Y U MAD THO?
One careless mistake and youre a goner, never to emerge into a fierce bacchanal a laLookingseason two.
And Antoni doesnt know.
I am deeply suspicious of him.
I am also (high-functioning) basic and truly appreciate what Antoni is laying out here.
Lets take the food that Antoni prepares for our (mostly) straights during season one.
Antoni understands that you have to walk before you’re able to run!
This criticism that the food he is preparing is too easy and that he doesnt do anything is insane.
What do you want these straights to do?
Be able to debone a duck after three days?
They can learn to make grilled cheese, and so can I by proxy.
As someone whose diet is mostly chicken fingers, Im appreciative of Antonis culinary skills and teachings!
He is ateacher, Bowen.
Bowen: I dont buy that.
Theres beensome great investigative reportingon Junkee about whether or not he really even knows how to cook!
Like, hes preparing food a child would make when theyre old enough not to need a sitter.
Any queer loves a grilled cheese, but its not a revelation to cut it into four triangular pieces.
Also, we must never forget that Antonis title in the show is Food & Wine.
His title is not Chef.
And Im sorry, but Im gonna do it.
Bowen: Fine, lets fucking talk about the graphic tees then.
What the hell is that Cult Leader rag?
He might as well be Elisabeth Moss wokely talking about Scientology.
Matt: How dare you.
Bowen: And thetwo versionsof thatA Little LifeT-shirt with their memed names?
Matt: Yeah, I want those.
Look, the real T is that hes doing his assignment, and hes doing it well.
These straights are more than happy, so why cant the LGBT+ community be happy too?
Its not like hes turned his back on us.
I give youhis Instagram, which is a lovely tribute to plating and shirtlessness.
And were talking about him, which means hes doing everything right!
Also, if were gonna talk about shirtless Instagrams,Karamosis objectively the best.
And to say nothing of how Karamo looked during the kickboxing lesson!
Hes providingtherapy.Thatsthe assignment, honey!
Meanwhile Antoni is scamming brave, Karen Handelvoting firefighters by charging them $4 for a carrot-filled hot dog.
Second, everything is to scale.
But listen, I think theyre all wonderful.
I just dont think Antoni should be the subject of such ire.
Look at that face!
Bowen: I just think he might be a serial killer.
Ted Bundy had a nice smile and decent knife skills too, you know.
Matt: And with that, I think weve agreed to disagree.
Antoni, if youre reading this, keep doing your thing.
Also, ugh, I cant figure out this avocado!
Can you come over?
