FOR FUCK'S SAKE, WHEN DID ANYONE EVER GIVE BRAVO THE IDEA THAT ANYONE HAS EVER LIKED SPIKE?!?!?!?!
We'll just take the fact that this was too long and that you didn't read it...as read.
I watch anything with Lisa Vanderpump, mostly this;
Hey, check me out. I'm a ghost.
Curtis from Top Chef Canada is commenting regularly on the Chowhound recaps of the show. It's interesting getting an inside scoop.
eees back!
Not surprised to see Cosentio so strong - he was runner-up for Next Iron Chef before...Somewhat weak challenge last night. Wasn't really a buffet so much as buffet stations and it was obvious the Indian team was doomed right out of the gate.

RIGHT? thought Mexican v. Indian was very unfair.
Missy's slice is like my worst nightmare (besides an eyeball). Good on her for thinking she could wrap herself up and keep going.
Possibly the dullest premiere in Top Chef history -- I know they got the B-team working on Masters, but come on. Try harder. This felt like a phone-in.
Good to see that skinny Art Smith = old Louis CK though.
Not great. But I'm still crossing my fingers it doesn't reach the deep dark depths of the last Top Chef Masters. I don't want to see any more fucking bunsen burners. Just let me watch these awesome professionals do their fascinating job. Get out of the way you dumb-ass Magical Elves.
Wouldn't it be great if Louis CK turned into a bitchy, name-dropping, gay dude over the next 8 years?Originally Posted by isoS

"I cook for billionaires!"
Congratulations?
Better.
Agreed. Still not great, but better. This was straight-up cooking, without any weird switcheroos midway through it, like changing teams/dishes etc. Good.
I like how they showed the judges shitting on one dish and then immediately cut to the bride and groom totally loving the same dish. Happened at least twice.
Better but...Hearing the couples story was heartbreaking and then, as much as I was happy that Art's cake went to crap, I felt sad that they weren't getting a perfect wedding. If I were conspiracy oriented, I'd say the producers stuck a hand in to keep Art around so he and Cosentino can get into it some more (like they seem to next week). And how come Ms. Taco Bell didn't get taken to task for only doing a simple flan? There was originally talk of a dessert buffet... Esa mujer (remember the America's Next Great Restaurant fiasco?) and Art cannot GTFOMTV quick enough. The chef sent home got screwed somewhat by the lack of ingredients but as Oseland pointed out, she seemed clueless about the key flavors of SE Asian salad...The top three tonight seem like strong contenders for making it to the final three.

Anybody have CC and could catch what the one guy said at the end about the critics? Something about back in his day they "would have to hunt it down and just be thankful to eat so you critics describing this food should be pretty ridiculous..." or something like that. Was a lovely setting for sure but all the solemnity and non-performing equipment made it kinda boring...Now that I see that Art and Cosentino are on yet another cooking reality show together it makes me think they really are sick of each other or the magic elves know how to prod (and edit) them...

Speaking of that: if you think this show is bad, for the love of God do not watch Time Travel Chefs. What shitty stupidity hath ABC wrought! It doesn't just suck as a cooking competition show, it also sucks as half-assed, mediocre sci-fi with embarrassing SFX!
Is that the woman whose charity aims to raise awareness of the obesity epidemic in America, and then she's in a Taco Bell commercial?
also her "cantina burrito" is the second most calorie-filled choice on the menu. at taco bell.
I squealed with delight when they went to Lotus of Siam! drooooool

Oh no, Art went home. Now Oprah will get super fat again.
