@LittleShirleyBeans: 'Tis okay. On Monday I start a job where the time and ability to comment on the internet's will be no more. I kind of feel like going out with a bang with pointed attacks and a fierce dose of crazy, but I am too busy trying to pack/think about packing/waste time watching tv while thinking about packing/comment on the internet while watching tv and thinking about packing.

@Pesquyist: I've shopped at Whole Foods. They must have jiggered the prices somehow.

At a real Whole Foods, $10 would buy you maybe six cashews, and that's about it.

There is no way they could have purchased all the ingredients at Whole Paycheck with only $10. Someone needs to launch a full investigation.

Why is it that I'm getting hotter for Tommy C. every week?

Foolproof Minute Rice. You can't undercook it or overcook it. It's perfect every time.

I'm sorry ... what were we talking about here again?

Does Whole Foods even sell Uncle Ben's?
There were a couple of senators who went on the food stamp budget for a while and blogged about how much it sucked. Too bad no one paid attention.

@Pesquyist: The Whole Foods sponsor placement was funny, it's true. Ten bucks buys you a fancy slice of cheese over there.

$10 at WHOLE FOODS, no less. They musta got a special product placement discount.

And: Lisa, get off the show. Barring that, wash your hair!

@ae38: If you've only got $10 per meal for a family of 4, i sure as hell hope you're not paying $50 a month for cable to watch Top Chef.

also, I'm really sad Mark the Hobbit went home. He was adorable.

@fiveinchtaint: I distinctly remember times in my life when I did not have $10 for groceries. Hell, I even created the "juice diet" during a particularly lean time, wherein I had only enough money to buy 2 bottles of juice to "eat" for a week. While it may be true that most of us sitting in front of our computers and dicking off most of the day have more than $10 for groceries, that is not true for many people who actually toil for a living, and who do not have the luxury of wasting time between completing projects.

Anywho, I can not wait for Lisa to get canned. She is the smuggest, ugliest lesbian ever to be featured on a reality TV show.

Personally, during the show I ate a gigantic chocolate fudge cookie and a chocolate cigar which I bought from a kosher bakery on the lower east side from a young girl and older Asian woman who had totally different but equally unintelligible accents (What's that?/A reguuula/A regular what?//NO, A REGuuullaaaa/oh.) and drank two giant glasses of lactaid, because I am not down with lactose.

Damn it - early Top Chef recap! I won't complain, as I'll take my JDS content where I can get it.

I am so damn glad Mark is gone and just wish they would have made him take Lisa with him on the way out. Last night felt like one, long, crappy commercial.

Gail's always been a little thick, I think. Hey, the woman works for Food & Wine, how can you blame her? But as anyone who's ever had this awkward conversation with an old friend they haven't seen in a long time, charges of pregnancy or perceived pregnancy shouldn't be leveled lightly.

Jamerson7 — Thu, 01 May 2008 11:00:14 EDT

How are they going to do product placement when it moves to Lifetime?

"Cheftestants, please create a meal pairing with these $4 White Zinfandels"?

Or a meal inspired by different brands of tampons?

Man I wish it would have been Lisa last night. I love that Oprah's private chef (oh go to hell, Oprah) called out her inability to take criticism. I can't think of anyone more deserving of a wicked slap to the face followed by a chorus of laughter while she cries from the pain and insult.

First, they always have this challenge- though it's packaged differently each time. It's the home-cooking challenge. I think it's funny because so many good chefs fail at it.
Second, these are when I check their posted recipes. Though seriously, for chefs, learn to measure. Some of those recipes looked like the chef tried to remember how to make it after watching the episode 6 months later and the others look like the chef is planning a cookbook and doesn't actually want to give the recipe away.

Affectionatly,

This was a dumb challenge. This was not a test for a top chef. I like the look of next week - more than enough time, grueling, large quantities. I mean, I get there has to be some kind of theme. Simply saying "make me a great dish" every week with no constraints would be rather boring. But test their actual skill, not their ability to shop within an absurd budget. Damnit. I don't care. We all have more than $10 for groceries. Appeal to me!

After Padma exclaimed excitedly that the rice cooks "in 90 seconds" there was a great SURPRIZE! reaction shot that was probably edited in from some other day when two of the contestants were beating each other with spoons.
