I'm in the minority here, but this show is so bad! These 'chefs', while they can certainly cook better than me, are just short order cooks with their own restaurants. I mean, chicken wings? Steak and cheese? A rueben eggs benedict? A piece of meat with a stick in it?
Check out Next Iron Chef for some people that can really cook with imagination, knowledge, and skill.
And I guess Padma L was pretty hot in those Carl Jr. commercials, but neither she nor any of the judges seem that engaged by the food. #topchef
So. In last night's live blog post, I wished for the completion of the awesome food porn hinted at by the "breakfast in bed" scene. And Josh, I thought you had seen my plea and were about to answer it here.
But you glossed over the actual "sex" part. It's like watching the movie "Personal Best," but then finding out you're watching it on USA Network and all sex scenes have been edited out.
@Lymed: not at all, i thought he was going to make chili or spaghetti and meatballs. Those are what I think of when I hear "nyfd." But chicken wings? #topchef
Still need to know what caused Nigella's horrocious hangover and when she snuck in that medicinal half-bot of champers. No way was she keeping down Eli's popcorn souvlaki soup without that. #topchef
I thought from the comments at Judges Table that Nose-Picker Eli was going to get the boot. At least Robin's dish was edible. When they tasted Eli's shit soup surprise, the judges looks like they wanted the cameras off so they could hurl. #topchef
@pumpkinsoup: that desert was the yickiest thing I've ever heard described was food, and I've been tempted to buy that mcdonald's home maker kit. He must have taken a hit off Tommy C's bong too to come up with such a monstrosity and think it was a good idea. #topchef
Nigella said, "a proper panna cotta should quiver like the inner thigh of a 17th century courtesan" with an authority I find both irresistible and arousing.
@amoneill1001: That utterance wasn't even original. The British judge Jay Rayner said nearly the same thing on Top Chef Masters earlier this year. However, in Rayner's version, the perfect panna cotta should "jiggle like a woman's breasts." #topchef
After the last episode of top chef, did anyone notice the prominently displayed disclaimer? I don't think I had ever noticed it before but it talked about, while displaying Robin, that the producers had a say in who is eliminated. It's like they are preempting outrage that that leathery nightmare creature is still on the show with a "don't blame the judges, blame the producers" type of thing. #topchef
@xcornmuffinx: I think that's been boilerplate on every episode of Top Chef and Project Runway since the start. Helps explain some of the "why-is- that-horrible-person-still-there... headscratchers throughout.
Jen needs to suck it up. ASAP! She's such a sad-sack now. Does she even want to be there anymore? Get some confidence, girl! Plus, what did she ever see in the Jersey Douche? I know times get hard and the pickins' are slim but damn. That fat, nerdy bully Eli would have been a better option than Mike I. #topchef
it must be said that eli had an in with the TV dinners challenge since he still lives at home and watches Modern Family/Cougar Town with his folks on Wednesdays, instead of this junk brought to you by M Resort, Glad Wrap and metal ovens designed by Jack Welch. #topchef
An angle I hadn't considered, that one about Robin outliving Mike the Douche. One very painful last humiliation for him. Squeal like a pig, Dbag! And on the next show, Mike the Evil Volt, who for some reason actually liked Douche, might well push Robin down a flight of stairs. Everybody wins, or something. #topchef
@son of spam: Haha, the "pushing down the stairs" trick is such a classic sabotage maneuver. Reminds me of Elizabeth Berkley shoving Gina Gershon down a flight of stairs in Showgirls. What a hilariously awesome and unjustly unsung flick that is!
PS: Uh-oh, I think I'm over-commenting on this thread. Sorry. #topchef

Or if he wanted to go the dessert route: gourmet candied apples or a fancy-dancy funnel cake. Mmmm... funnel cake. #topchef
