LA CUISINE DU GARAGE

We’re lazy, we’ve got no talent and we can’t cook!
So why have we fooled all these people?

OMG! First off, a big congratulations on all the awards and interest your show is getting! You guys rock--I have actually seen your show a few times when I have been back in West Milwaukee visiting the family--and I love, love, love it. Good, solid cooking that's totally hilarious.
As a fellow blogger, I will be adding a link to your show to my world-famous (ha ha) blog "Where's The Bubbler?"--where I write about food and other weird stuff.
Take care and keep on cookin'!
