Top Chef recap



Take a memo, Memo: You're out.

Manuel a.k.a. "Memo" falls on his knife after failing to impress anyone with his leadership abilities and his cooking - or lack thereof - in the Elimination Challenge, which was to base a dish on a favorite movie.

It could have been a very cool challenge - but the dynamic duo of Manuel and Spike, whose stupid, stupid, stupid "I'm so hip" pork pie hats I want to knock right off his arrogant head - picked "Good Morning, Vietnam"????!!!!???

So they made a very predictable Vietnamese spring roll - with a weird side dish of pickled swiss chard - that had zero appeal. Kind of like Robin Williams.

I'll give this episode a big, fat Eh. Here's judge Ted Allen's take.
