HELL YEAH TOP CHEF. Not to be all “THIS! THIS!” about this episode, but…THIS! THIIIIIS! NO team challenges. NO torturously physical challenges based around sleep deprivation or heat or crappy equipment. NO Texas Texas Texas Have We Mentioned We’re In Texas Visit Texas. NO bizarre editing disconnect between tasting and judging. Just a damn fine [...]
Hello my little pâte à chouxs! Welcome to the Top Chef As Brought To You By The Texas Board Of Tourism Restaurant Wars Spectacular!

Greetings, fellow people-who-may-or-may-not-be-mildly-interested-in-this-season-of-Top-Chef! Does anyone know who is responsible for the episode titles? Because…”Don’t Be Tardy To The Dinner Party”? Really? I feel compelled to add a second set of quotation marks to my recap title, just so no one thinks that I came up with that, and am typing it only because we have [...]
