The orphan-crushing machine is just a tool. You can also use it to mulch puppies and purée kittens.

Why are you angry? You can use it for harmless tasks like making mashed potatoes. You eat mashed potatoes don't you? Yes, admittedly it leaks machine oil into the potatoes, but they're working on that. It leaks so much less oil than it did when you tried it three months ago. In a year from now it's going to be a Michelin-starred chef.

Well, that’s typical, gatekeeping by telling people they should have to learn to cook. You don’t think people who can’t cook deserve good food?

So what if the machine is powered by slave labor? That's innovation. You're just scared you're going to be one of them. Besides, it's inevitable. Nobody is going to crush orphans by hand any more. You're going to get left behind.

Oh, well there you go with your ridiculous purity culture again.

@mathew @frankrausch Ah, I get the metaphor!

It’s a Thermomix, right?

The "The Katering Show" Show can be enjoyed bite-size, in sequence or out of sequence. There is no narrative arc across episodes or seasons.

I knew about it on the day s01e01 was released, because I was following one of their collaborators on social media.

A few years later they made "Get Krack!n", which took aim at early-morning television shows (with more guests). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Krack!n

And (nothing to do with The Kates) "Rostered On" is an Australian mockumentary about working in retail, mostly set in a large electrical big-box store. Was exclusive to Netflix, but it returned to YouTube after a few years.

Keep an eye out for the chef from the nearby café in season 1.
