But the Joshua David Stein writing did me in once again. I actually read every word that he writes, slowly, which I almost never do anymore with my internetz twitterfied attention span.
So when I read the judges descriptions of the dishes I thought Jen was a finale shoo-in. Her lack of confidence irks me though so who knows? Michael Voltaggio would not be as bad a winner as Lex Luthor of last season (I wanted hootie hoo and am still upset about it).
But I like Bryan best out of the remainders and really hope he takes it all.
But damn you Stein...you messed up my weekend plans with your talented writing. Now I have to go have a life or something.

I understand that some vegetarians eat eggs (and more eat cheese, which the other chefs put in in their dishes), but it still seems as if he disregarded the rules for this challenge.

A lot of things have protein in them that are un-meaty. Soy beans, for example.

Mrs. BMC FC and I dined at Friar Tuck's establishment recently. At the end of the night after many drinks I gave Kevin a big high 5 and yelled "WE LOVE YOU KEVIN!"
(To the eternal embarrassment of Mrs. BMC FC, natch.)

And you kind of deconstructed it, I think ... I'll probably never watch it the same way again.

This was a great demi-finale. Santa Jennifera's crucifixion gave me the sads, but what are you going to do? Dura judges table, sed judges table! (Does anyone know enough Latin to translate that properly?)

Like a crazy person, I kept trying to tell which direction Padma was looking when she announced the winner in previews.
Hope bearded nice guy wins.

That's his new name now, you know ...

I love you, Jen! If you ever decide to move to Philly's only good kosher restaurant, I vow to eat there weekly. For at least a month.

BMC FC is not much of a smoker, but if If Netflix ever ships "Princess Mononoke" to your house, make SURE you have a bag of pot handy.

Can you feel it getting down to the wire?

On another note, what is up with Chef's Academy? Why did Bravo feel the need to put such a crappy show on after such a good one?

ETA: How awesome was it that Kevin won after Michael called his cooking "the food that I cook on my day off?"

Also with more experience and maturity(not living at home anymore), he would have been a better contestant.

I now sort of love scrappy little Eli.

Until a judge chokes on a fish bone
Bryan just waits and sits
But the judges say it tastes like shit
Kevin plays the waiting game
Keeps it simple and take the blame
For playing it safe, but it works.
He's at Bocuse d’Or, not those jerks
Jen gets her Quickfire to click
But her salmon gets cut too thick.
So from five we cut it down to four.
Eli's lamb is raw and is shown the door.
