Top Chef recap




C.J. was banished to New Jersey on last night's "Top Chef." Not a huge surprise, given that the guest judges hated his dish, especially the burned broccolini.

Episode highlights:
- Is Dale the one who made the "date" smoothie? That wouldn't start my stomach rumbling in the morning.
- On the other hand, Hung's smoothie looked quite yummy.
- C.J. saying he had never been to New York. This really surprised me. The guy is 31 and he's a culinary professional. You think he would have visited the country's culinary mecca at least once.
- Colicchio looked good in the Kangol hat.
- Do you ever order fish or seafood when you're flying? I don't. It scares me more than terrorists.
- Brian trying to defend his, apparently, god awful lobster hash, which, did I hear this right?, Bourdain said "had the texture of a doll head." Brilliant.
- Bourdain telling Sara her salmon was like "cat food." Mee-ow!
- Sara telling her competitors that Bourdain was "evil."

Patricia - since you are a Top Chef fan (as am I) you should check out TV Guide's blog on the show. It's hilarious! http://community.tvguide.com/blog/TV-Show-Blog/Chef/800051850
