I’ve had thoughts about Danny being on Chopped. It went along with the ideas and imagining “Really Supportive Cheerleader Boyfriend Steve”...but it’s not until right now that I’m just imagining Danny during the commentary parts.
I mean can you imagine Danny being like, “Making a dish in twenty minutes is hard but when you’re a single dad with a full-time job, you sort of get this instinct to be quick. But still, I was a bit surprised I made it to the second round. The first one I was inspired by my kids, this one I’m inspired by my husband. I make this for him every time he came home from deployment...so there’s a lot of heart. This one’s for you, Steve.” And he winks at the camera.
When the episode airs, Danny’s blushing but Steve needs a moment, okay?
But that was a sweeter version. There are snarkier things Danny would say. “I’m not surprised I made it through the first round. I’m not being cocky. I think the other competitors are great I just... when you’re used to being nearly blown up because your husband’s a crazed, adrenaline junky with a badge who drags you into dangerous situations, facing down Scott Conant with red onions is a walk in the park by comparison, ya know?”
