I never watched this show until I saw the tales of horror posted here.
I've recorded some shows with my DVR, and have been paging through them.

I don't recall other shows that are so extensively edited (badly). She's
making... I have no idea. Some sort of "crepe" (though how she can call
it that when using tortilla shells, which are far thicker). She dumps a
scrambled egg/bacon/cream mixture onto the shell, overfilling and
getting it all over the place and... when they show her going to fold
it, it's magically all perfectly in place.

Yes, I know other shows edit; but I counted *so many* edits here! To the
point where they sometimes literally cut her off mid-word (and I'm not
even counting camera angle changes). More to the point, though, the
premise of this show is that these you make these dishes using already
prepared ingredients in order to save time. With all the edits, it's
made to seem more of a time savings than it really is. And there are odd
inconsistencies. Why does the thingy look nice and neat he

But in the next shot, which is *supposedly* seconds later as she puts a
second tortilla down:

the egg is oozing out of the first? What did they do to it? How much
time really passed?

Oh, and want to see how NOT to teach people to cut a croissant?

Yes, she flips it over and finishes cutting away from her, and yes, most
of us have done it this way at some time or another, but for heaven's
sake, I'd have hoped her LEGAL TEAM would have said something.

Don't get me started on the croissant/poached egg open sandwich.

She made French toast stuffed with a cream cheese-strawberry jam
mixture. She put the mixture into a plastic bag, cut off a corner, and
squeezed it into a pocket cut into a thickly-sliced piece of bread.
Seems like extra work and a waste of a bag; why not just use a spoon?


Oh, and I didn't realize that Sandra Lee was this desperate for money

Do you pick up, or does she come to you?
