Bitchin' Kitchen: Difference between revisions

[[File:NadiaG_2250.jpg|frame| Tsaketa!]]

 

 

A half-hour long cooking show starring Nadia Giosia as the loudmouthed "Nadia G". Every episode revolves around cooking three dishes around a certain theme, from break-ups to being broke, with plenty of wisecracks and tips from Miss G and her trio of quirky correspondents.

 

----

* [[Adrenaline Time]]: Liberally applied to show the full prepwork and cooking process within seconds instead of minutes or hours.

* [[Alcoholic Parent]]: Prety much spelled out when Nadia makes Drunken Peaches:

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Yeheskel's is [[Running Gag|black peppercorns]].

** [[Mistaken Nationality]]: For a French-Canadian born into an Italian family, Nadia's pronounced accent originally led viewers to think she was from New York.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Alla prossima!"

* [[Food Porn]]: Nadia always samples each of her dishes as soon as they're done. Cue the satisfied moans and description of how all the flavors and textures fit together.

* [[Gratuitous Italian]]: By the loads. The first cookbook provides a glossary and the show has short spots where she defines a word for the viewer. Also, torrents of gratuitous Greek any time Panos' wife appears.

* [[Incoming Ham]]: Since everyone is a [[Large Ham]], this is unavoidable.

* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]: When Nadia asks Panos' wife how she deals with her marriage, her response is "a little ouzo goes a long way."

** Nadia invoked this for the Holiday Special's music video by donning a red latex catsuit and [[Three Minutes of Writhing|writhing around]] with presents.

** Lots and lots and LOTS of gratuitous shots of Nadia's high heels...

'''[[The Voice|Director]]''': Who cares, they're watching for shoes. }}

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: Hans, Panos and the Spice Agent.

* [[Rhetorical Question Blunder]]: Trademark of Nadia's, who actually answers her own rhetorical questions.

* [[Rule of Cool]]: Chalkboard cabinets. Zebra print floor. ''Chainmail handtowels.''

* [[Running Gag]]: Nadia has a serious crush on Christian Bale (once represented by [[Fan Disservice|Yehezkel in a speedo]]). Also, she wants a [[Awesome but Impractical|jetpack]].

* [[Sarcasm Mode]]: Abused regularly by Nadia.

* [[Take That]]: In the "break-up meal" episode, Nadia said that ''mosto cotto,'' or grape must, is a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|must]] in balsamic vinegar, and that calling it balsamic vinegar with no ''mosto cotto'' in it is "like calling spray can cheese 'Parmigiana' or [[Nickelback]] a 'rock band.'"

* [[Transparent Closet]]: The Spice Agent seems to be inside one of these, what with his crush on Tobey Maguire, stealing his mother's stockings while drunk and how his first experience (with soap) was in the men's locker room.

* [[The Unpronounceable]]: The Spice Agent's name is Yehezkel Mizrahi but nobody in the show [[Even the Subtitler Is Stumped|(even his caption is in Hebrew)]] knows how to say it. Nadia gets around the problem by having a recording of someone else saying the name play on cue.

** Even the glossary in the first cookbook can spell "Yehezkel" but can't suggest a pronounciation.
