Taste Buds: Kitchen Fails

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares is back on FOX and to celebrate, Stephanie Hansen is sharing some of her never-before-seen kitchen fails.

First up is a taco braid, originally made for a Halftime with Taste Buds recipe. Stephanie’s first try was giving sad caterpillar vibes, and everyone on set started cracking up. This scene also has a cameo from Stephanie’s husband, Kurt, and dog, Stanley. They are often in a nearby room of the house while we film.

Stephanie’s next fail is from the Shore Lunch episode. She was cooking walleye on a new induction burner, and the stainless steel pan wasn’t getting hot enough. The result was a walleye scramble (and we never used that burner again). Luckily, Kurt was available to buy more walleye.

The last fail is a perfect illustration of Stanley’s charm and ability to distract the entire crew. All four of us became wrapped up in his antics and managed to burn the only buns we had for a Halftime with Taste Buds Hot Italian Beef recipe. Kurt saved the day again by going to the store for new buns.
