not the pinnacle of British cuisine lol or Indian either!!!10 seconds in the microwave works too! In about 1995 I worked in an Indian restaurant while at uni, and that’s how we prepared profiteroles.

I don’t know what you are talking about??? Steve pronounces Mac and cheese just fine
Corey is from New Orleans! He can pronounce French words!!!
If the team have not had a classical education or had the opportunity to learn European languages or travel internationally, we should not criticise them for not being able to pronounce culinary terms or ‘foreign’ words. Profiteroles isn’t an everyday word and mispronouncing that was less embarrassing than describing the tuna as raw instead of rare or seared. Some menus are very pretentious. Starter, main course and pudding is fine with me.
Profiteroles are delightful.There is no need to learn how to pronounce the word. Just avoid them.
Well they obviously missed the culinary terms class.In the United States, most public school systems require 2 years of a foreign language to graduate high school, Spanish and French being the most common. I don't know anyone who didn't take one of those languages at some point.

Exactly what I was thinking - I know if I were reading something on camera, I'd WANT to practice in advance.They have had various former cast members or CP kids, I have always thought someone from Disney food service would be a nice addition to the team, a former line chef or just someone with culinary experience as a hobby, specifically to give this show some credence.
It’s the Disney DINING show, as @TheMaxRebo said, it’s reasonable for us to expect some solid pronunciation and base knowledge, the “Le Cellier” thing was just silly. If nothing else, I am also sure the server can help with pronunciation, have them repeat it back to you a few times slowly, practicing it before going on camera, then leave them a nice tip for their extra time and kindness.
I graduated high school in 1996 and was not required to take a foreign language. However, because I didn’t take one in high school, I had to take two years to graduate college.
I have no problem with the team not being unable to pronounce every menu item. They’re not professional food critics.
What I do have a problem with is Cory ordering a steak medium well done.
Would you like some Welsh words to try out?And for the most part, they weren't even foreign, strange, or "different' words!
@toocherie - Off topic, but I couldn't help it - your fur baby is ADORABLE!!!!I love profiteroles.
Oh thank you!!--that was my Bella when I first got her. Unfortunately she went to the Bridge this past December. I still have my second Corgi (Cunie) but got him when he was one so don't have adorable pics of him as a baby.@toocherie - Off topic, but I couldn't help it - your fur baby is ADORABLE!!!!
