His cooking shows are on network TV. Just looked it up and Hell's Kitchen premiered on Fox in 2005. One of his shows premiered after the Super Bowl this year. I don't watch them but he's definitely more popular than the Food Network chefs like Bobby Flay.

OK...Here you go.. inside the mind of WCD:

1. Number of sick days you take in a year- 0- Who takes sick days? It's a world of unlimited PTO and work from home.
2. Number of books you read in a year- 10- GOT IT
3. A Russian author- Dostoevsky- i almost went with Tolstoy.
4. A celebrity chef- Wolfgang Puck- I couldn't come up with any...
5. An energy drink- Monster- one of the top market share in energy drinks...
6. A middle eastern country- Israel- this should be the right answer
7. Headache medicine (brand name)- Advil- NAILED IT
8. A game played in gym class- Kickball- hasn't dodgeball been banned in many schools?
9. Best Indiana Jones movie- Raiders of the Lost Ark- THE OBVIOUS ANSWER
10. A mountain range- Rockies- NAILED IT
11. Word that rhymes with “whip”- Hip Meh
12. Cool _______ Breeze. I suck at this game

Number 5 I think is what we should hone in on here:

You acknowledge that you should be looking at market share for answers like this but then you picked "one of the top market share" instead of Red Bull which has the top market share in the US and also has recognition beyond the energy drink world (F1, soccer, advertising "red bull gives you WIIIINGS").

Dodgeball was just like...the obvious answer not sure what to parse there lol.

I think as far as internet celebrity goes he is far and away the #1. I feel like I see his face all the time somewhere or the other, and I've never watched any of the shows that he does

i probably should have looked up to see who was Number 1. I thought Monster was....

Dodgeball...yeah...

He's got a billion memes out there

You're an idiot sandwich

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Gordon Ramsey is literally everywhere and has a dozen tv shows, but I guess if you actually haven’t watched television in a decade you might not be familiar with him? It’s not exactly Ice Spice, dude has been a mega celebrity for 10-20 years.

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

Kichen Nightmares premiered in the UK in 2003, Hells Kitchen in 2005,

 

[Gooner]

I talked myself out of Tylenol because "that's not a headache medicine" and Saudi Arabia because "these boomers were adults when we went to Iraq"

Still the best I've done in like a month.

6. A middle eastern country- Israel- this should be the right answer

Possibly relevant

Edit: Trump was in Israel at the time

I spent a lot of time on the celebrity chef question.

First thought was Emeril. BAM. The OG celebrity chef. Then thought Guy Fieri. Internet meme. Multiple shows. Commercial ventures.

Googled “celebrity chefs”. That brought Bobby Flay and Gordon Ramsay into the discussion. Figured Ramsay has been most famous for the longest and is an internet presence.

Also briefly considered Bourdain.

 

[WindyCityDeac]

Maybe I should try this google thing

Yeah I basically only considered Guy, Gordon, and Bourdain.

Guy just wasn't really much of a chef though, figured nobody was gonna vote for a dead guy (also tbh not much of a chef in the grand scheme of things), and Ramsay has been popular as both a chef and major critic/internet personality/meme lord so he was just the obvious choice to me.

TSK FUCKING TSK

 

[cookoutdeac]

TSK FUCKING TSK

Have you read his books, I think he'd also admit as much. It's part of what made him so relatable imo.

Yeah, where’d you finish again?

Flay won the American chef question a little while back

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

Flay won the American chef question a little while back

well Ramsay isn't American, you see

I think Wolfgang Puck is the funniest Windy answer this week though

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

I also very much want to know who put "aspirin" for a headache medicine brand name
