top chef
Joshua David Stein is back briefly to talk about Bravo's Top Chef whose ninth episode aired last night. As
Sam Cooke once sang (and
Big Baby Huey covered later), "It's been a long time coming." On yesterday's
Top Chef, finally, change did come. Nikki Cascone, proprietor of Soho resto
24 Prince and proud Italian-American, was sent home. This would be a spoiler but really who didn't know that little miss thing was just biding her time. The only surprise is that she lasted this long before being sent to make glue. I mean,
mamma mia, how many times can one
casalinga make a bowl of pasta? Last night's episode still held some signs of
pandering to the Lifetime crowd. They replaced the popular
restaurant wars with wedding wars, in which the competing teams were made to create a meal according to either the groom or the bride's specs. But, for the most part, the episode redeemed the show. After the jump, RELAY RACES, LEADERSHIP, and
SCOTTIE PIPPEN!!!
