"Fatist!" Mon Aug 25 21:39:23 -0700 2008 3986714 71849 batdown 2 3987031 VERY random and unexpected plug for Chow. On a side note, this season of Weeds is outstanding Mon Aug 25 22:01:47 -0700 2008 3987000 144856 The Chowfather AKA sobe 3 3988309 I loved seeing CH get the shout out, but it sure seemed like more of a Yelper move!

Tue Aug 26 14:51:29 -0700 2008 3986714 10784 Scrapironchef 2 3995249 I have no more insider perspective on this than you do, but I'd bet my chowmobile that the idea emanated purely from the Weeds writer room, with no CBS influence. FWIW, the snippet can be viewed online...I linked to the clip on my Slog at http://jimleff.blogspot.com/2008/08/from-next-weeks-episode-of-weeds.html Thu Aug 28 16:52:54 -0700 2008 3989055 10089 Jim Leff 3 3995404 I'd have to agree. It would just fit that people that know so much about pot, would know a lot about food. Thu Aug 28 17:59:14 -0700 2008 3995249 10737 Bobfrmia 1 3989600 Great Show. Many things have suprised me over the run of the show, but that might have been the biggest. I'll be looking for a "what do you eat when you have the munchies" thread soon. Tue Aug 26 18:39:46 -0700 2008 3986714 10737 Bobfrmia 1 3992113 Ughhh I wish I still had Showtime! I need to watch this online. Wed Aug 27 14:20:27 -0700 2008 3986714 112406 Chew on That 2 4002187 I think you can watch it on itunes..... great reference! Mon Sep 01 17:21:22 -0700 2008 3992113 12724 eLizard
