My heartiest congratulations to everyone involved; this is truly an epic achievement.

I was unable to be there in person, and was only in the chat briefly; I'm seriously tempted to just wait for all three episodes to be released so I can experience a taste of what it must have been like.

I won't, but I'm tempted.

That was one crazy night!  We drove down to Dallas to see my baby niece when this was going down.  I caught the majority of it though.  The kid wanted to sleep most of the time anyways.   Cute kid too

This was great fun!  I hope everyone has recovered gracefully.  The good news is, if you do another marathon trilogy, the flicks won't be 13+ hours...

BRAVO!!

Obviously, the story doesn't represent Middle-Earth as a whole, I just wanted to know if more existed elsewhere and if so, where. Thanks for the spot on answers though.

A hearty thanks to everyone who participated in a very singular experience.  It was also nice meeting some forum folk like Paulou and Jeff for the first time, both of whom, along with Cloe Z, made outstanding sous chefs. 

I had such a blast and am deeply humbled by everyone's kind words.  Serious Business hat tips go to all who spoke but especially Trey and Mike.  Double special plus thanks to Mike and his roommates for letting me do my whirling dervish routine in their kitchen, I hope I didn't wreck it that much. 

The three F's, people.  Film Fighting, and Food, that's how you make a Doty.  Anytime I can combine two of those three with good friends, I am a happy man.  In ten years I'll probably do something similar with Grayson (and whatever siblings Rachel poops out between now and then) and when I do, I will tell epic tales of what his father participated in on this day.  Thanks again, DiF'ers.

^^ That.

And whatever the hell was in those scrambled eggs, I've been pining for more of it ever since.

You will gives us the recipe, precioussss.  GIVES IT TO US.

If you don't have Creme Fraiche available to you, sour cream works as well, but in a slightly less amount, otherwise the sourness can over power.  I'm not a huge chives fan, but as Gordo says, you can put pretty much whatever in there as you desire.  Protecting the egg is the key.

The Balrog Burgers were my own design and believe it or not, that was the first time I ever made those.  They came out pretty good, but I want to tweak a few more things next time around.

Gordon Ramsay is my god. When he gives you lemons, they come with a recipe for the most amazing lemonade.

*hiss at Dave*
My precious....

I can see your ring (snigger), and I'm using chrome.

Wait, doctorsubmarine is from Farmington?  Holy carp, dude, I'm Cheshire.  Wicked cool!

As another aside, congrats to all, and thanks for the entertainment.  Kitchencam was amazing.  I just hope I could provide a little fun and relief and sugar rush to all you folk.  Can't wait to hear what I missed in the digital downloads!
