The real question is what kind of travesty will there be if they have them do Chicago Dogs? Because there is NO room for variation. It's as rule-ridden as
a Petrarchan sonnet.

Cousin Oliver, Can I play with your life size paper dolls of Erik and Manuel after you are done? That is if you haven't ravaged them to pieces. These two
guys are so cuddly and adorable. I just won't eat Erik's nacho souffle.

This week's "People" magazine has a short section in it that tells where a few of the past Top Chef contestants are now. It's just a few pages but there's a nice picture of Harold in there (looking hot), and Stephen working a greeinsh/yellow suit. They gave Josie the biggest segment. I don't usually read People but picked it up for a weekend trip. |

I'd screw all the guys but the fat one that cried.

Happy Foam Day!
I watched epi 1 a couple of times in an effort to get to know the inumerable cheftestants. I like Richard, Antonia, Jennifer, Spike, Dale and Stephanie. I find Andrew entertaining in small doses. Nimma was totally out of her league. Ryan annoys me the most with Mark as a close second. I really liked the head-to-head competition they did. It was a great way to expose people's personalities -- for good and for bad. That whole stolen pan and then mayo thing between Richard and Andrew cracked me up. Rocco's blog was also very helpful in fleshing out these characters. I'm eager for the next episode. Time will surely crawl all day today. Harumph! |

Bravo's running the season 1 marathon today. And looking back only Harold, Tiffini, LeAnn and Steven would be able to compete against the season 4 folks.

20+ minutes into the foam and this is on page 2?
Pack your knives and go. All of you. |

Mea culpa. I was spending my time so far trying to figure out who Valerie reminds me of, and I finally got it...Rachel Dratch.
 
***Edited because Cousin Oliver is right...it's Rachel Dratch, not Ana Gasteyer, that Ana looks like.***

She made the blinis too far in advance and didn't cook the rutabaga and the flavors didn't work together. I was scared for Stephanie, but she redeemed
herself with her mother's banana bread recipe. Andrew won by getting in touch with his inner penguin.
I actually really enjoyed the idea of this challenge, but then I love Lincoln Park Zoo. Next week, a neighborhood block party. |

That's what you get when you don't get your rutabagas from Hootersville. I tell all my friends you must get your rutabagas from Hootersville or I
won't answer for it -- I simply won't!

Valerie was gone from the first minute of the show when she said she was friends with Stephanie and wanted to work with her. If you mention friendship on this
show, you're gone.

Colicchio was such an ass when tasting Valerie's blini. Wylie said before he tasted it, "sounds delicious." And Colicchio took a bite and said,
"SOUNDS." So rude!
Mark's anchovy nigiri looked kinda nasty to me, but the judges said they really liked it. Wtf was with all the peaches used in red meat recipes? |

They've all obviously watched the Iron Chef episode when peaches was the ingredient. The best episode of Iron Chef ever.

It kills me that I can't figure out who Wylie Dufresne reminds me of.
Another good challenge, that let us get to see a little bit of everyone. Even the Quickfire was extra-long, with time for many people to talk a bit. Agreeance that Rachel Dratch was gone from the opening moments of the show. Not only for the 'friendship' curse, but something else she said about having to show what she can do, or redeem herself, or summat. Andrew increased his cute points with me with the use of cute sounds when he's talking. This must be used minimally, however, else it runs the risk of veering into the annoying. Loved the closeup shot of Padmush trying to stuff the entire lettuce wrap/cup thing on a stick in her mouth. Loved the subtle dig from Erik about the molecular gastronomy, and how he cooks with soul, though I'm not sure how that's working for him, edgic-wise. I have to rewatch the eppy again. Once again, with all the other stuff on last night, watching this late means that I'm asleep by the time we hit judge's table. Seeya at the reunion, Valerie!
