Top Chef recap


Very entertaining "Top Chef" reunion show/grudge match last night. Among the highlights/lowlights:
- How lame was it that Season 3 contestants judged the Season 1 and 2 chefs?
- Marcel, a.k.a. Astro Boy, should never, ever, try to rap on national TV. And foams are over, kid. Over.
- Ilan showed that borrowing Spanish recipes from your former boss certainly won't help you when you have to think on your own two feet. Gadzooks - what was up with the icky raw egg, wild rice, flabby skin duck experiment? Glad I didn't have to eat that stomach turning mess.
- Didn't Sam seem sullen and not really into the whole grudge match? (Or maybe it was the leering looks from Queer Eye Judge Ted?)
- Speaking of new Queer Eye Judge Ted. Love him! So witty and insightful. Keep him and get rid of Gail.
- Stephen's expression was priceless when Judge Tom told him that serving wine with every dish may actually help the other team.
- Elia's bleached do is definitely a Glamour don't. Get a new stylist, stat!
- Harold rocks, even though the judges didn't love his lamb meatballs and mint gnocchi. (Wonder if it's on the menu of his new New York restaurant, Perilla?)
- Big Flavor Dave is hilarious. He needs his own show.
- Tiffani wasn't nearly as annoying and bitchy as before. And girl can cook.
