What's Cooking?

A couple of new vigs, of course! (available when moderated)

Inspired by a kitchen remodeling project, and the magic of television, I present...

Hells Kitchen

Emeril

Dinah (Pssst, Tony... jibbly!)

Iron Chef 2140

PizzaMan

and of course,

The Soup Nazi

Ok, that's it. Let's blow this...

Taco Stand.

Haha, there's some good stuff there, I particularly like your Joe Vig entry!!!

ROFL! Nelson, you're a genius.

Emeril is hysterical.

I love the Iron chef one. Too bad you couldn't get cheesy dubbed Japanese commentators.

The beast in Dinah is awesome. I love the gums.

I'm always amazed that you're able to find uses for parts like that giant fig head, and the T-Rex arms.

But where's Alton?

This is a great vignette collection idea, and all the vigs look superb.

Hells Kitchen stays true to the show. The trident especially is a nice touch.

The Dinah monster made me laugh. Excellent use of the Dino arms!

Using the egg timer in PizzaMan was a great idea. Once again, you have used a LEGO product that most people wouldn't even count as MOCable!

The Soup Nazi is my favorite of the bunch. It's got a great amount of detail packed into it, especially the dishes in the back. All I can see so far is the thumbnail, so I can't tell what the dishes to the left are made of. Care to enlighten me? EDIT: Now that the folder's public, I see that the mystery dishes are just 1x1 round plates!

All of these are great. My favorite is Dinah, I just love that monster. The soup one is the second best, like eNiGMa said, there's just so much detail.

These are too funny Nelson. I love the use of the giant head for a genuine road side attraction. Maybe a giant donut for your next challenge?

I agree with Chris: where's Alton? And the blasted mean lady from the cooking store, which I *know* is Bed, Bath and Beyond.

I thought the Emeril one was particularly clever, though I'm of the opinion that the cannon is aimed in the wrong direction. I highly dislike his style.

Excellent, Nelson!

Soup Nazi! That episode from Seinfeld was great. It was just on two days ago, and you portrayed it very well.

Megablocks: I don't watch this show, but the vig is really funny. Poor missy indeed.

Emeril: That's one big pepper grinder!

Dinah: Great kitchen appliances, and awesome monster. As others have said, the mouth is great, and I never thought I'd see those arms in a MOC! Oof. Jibbly...

2140: An even better kitchen, and a totally undefeatable robot chef, but you slay me with the pun! (Tuskeny. Ugh.

Sadly, I have the same sense of humor, which I inherited from my father.)

Pizza: Mmmmm.... Pizza..... I see a Big Daddy in this vig, don't I? The building itself doesn't do much for me, but who cares! You've successfully incorporated another otherwise useless part into a MOC.

Soup: Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Overall, delicious!

Hey Nelson,

These are great, as always. I'm declaring this Nelson Week on VB. I watched Megablocks's Kitchen all last season, but have gotten kind of sick of it as the bulk of the show is just Ramsay yelling at them. The vig, though, is a perfect rendition of the show. The Bionicle trident thing is a great piece usage, and the fig choice for Jean Philippe (is that his name?) is pefect. My other favorite is the Soup Nazi. Even without the label I would have known who that was.

Regarding the vignettebricks, you've posted the same batch of mocs twice. Just thought I'd let you know...

Oops. I tried to edit the post and accidentally double posted. Thanks. I fixed it.

Evidently the title "Master Builder" is not for everyone.... you need to have a certain degree of ... insanity in you, the talented genious sort of type.
