"In London I decided I wanted to learn more about fish, so I went to work in a fish shop. It was one of those places where people chose their own trout, and you'd have to kill them and weigh them. I started having dreams about these trout coming to get me."

I'm a fairly regular wine drinker and passed my wine course in culinary school with flying spittoons, so all of Leslie's directions about how to identify, swirl, and taste wines was fine and dandy for the beginners in the viewing audience but what I found really fascinating was the food and wine pairings.
I found myself actually holding my breath between every take. My fists were clenched in my lap. I was just hoping and hoping we'd get through the entire taping without major incident.
