I still don’t think I understand (and Idid look up peccadilloes, just to be certain); would relative age explain why the author Vince Mancini brought it up? Maybe the relative age of his subscribers, or viewers of Top Chef?
Oh, I was just referring to those of us posting here in this thread, most of of whom I believe are are Gen X and up, whereas I think vocal fry especially is most common among younger millennials and Gen Z. As far as why he brought it up in his recap, this is not the only forum in which her manner of speaking has been remarked upon (negatively), regardless of the age of the commenter, so I think a lot of people are bugged by it.

You got me. I have never heard the term and was clueless what it meant, let alone what it sounds like. Had to look that one up, and then find a video on it to understand.

Not sure how long this link will work.
From the comments;
“Shuai throwing away the mise en place was the most harrowing Top Chef has been since the Pea Purée Incident.”
The format of this one was interesting, since the losing team had what turned out to be the two most-praised dishes.
I kind of had the feeling that, behind the scenes, the knowledge that most of Henry’s pickle elements were trashed might have helped spare him.
A pickle-based dessert is a bold move. Cesar seems to be low-key killing it.
It does make me think of this, which was my younger brother’s favorite book for a while during his preschool years.
