"In Plain Sight" on USA Gives Chowhound a Shout Out

[Servorg]

So I'm watching the show and Steven Weber (new cast member) tells Mary McCormack's character he's buying from some place in Albuquerque where the show is filmed (Big Beef) he saw recommended on Chowhound and Mary come back "No, if you want ribs you call Rudy's"

Very funny...obviously one of the writers or the stars or the director is a hound.

What would be really scary is if someone on "Breaking Bad" says something about Los Pollos Hermanos getting a mention on Chowhound.

That's great stuff. I only wish it was on the Wire or Treme.

Steven Weber was also on the recient ABC bust Happy Town, (which had some amazingly bad dialogue.)

I thought it was notable that someone took the time and had the interest to write the line into a script for a drama. We are pretty used to seeing various mentions of Chowhound in articles and even some TV shows that are about the subject of food. But when you start becoming enough of a cultural icon to get written into a script, that's another level of fame. What next, James Cameron having a large blue 3-D creature yelling "Chowhound rules" just before attacking their burrito? ;-D>

ha ha! are burritos PC enough to be in james cameron's fantasy world?

"in plain sight" has a terrific writer or writers. the dialogue and plots are outstanding. and you're probably right, there's gotta be a chowhound on their team! (i know mary's character would definitely be a chowhound, but you usually see her dumping food because it is trash).

There was a very funny shout-out on Weeds a couple years ago. There may be a clip available on youtube, etc.....
