I was bored, so I made my own version of TV University (a format I blatantly stole from something I saw on www.thetvaddict.com- please, no one sue me). This week I got the opportunity to participate in a conference call with Secret Life of the American Teenager actress India Eisley. Not being very familiar with […]
For the past several weeks Robin on Top Chef has somehow managed to avoid the axe. How? She is consistently in the bottom three; her dishes are deplorable; and her talent is sub-par compared to the rest of the contestants. This past week she outlived Mike Isabella. Sure, he’s not the best chef on that […]
1) That quickfire challenge was COOL 2) I Love Restaurant Wars! It’s always one of the best episodes of the season. 3) The splitting up of the teams was brilliant; putting the Voltaggios together on the same team as Robin (the weak link) and pitting them against Jen and Kevin (the other two […]
I can’t recall the last time I saw an episode of Top Chef in which someone DIDN’T make ceviche (fish cooked by citric acidity). What is with these people and their ceviche? This week it showed up no less than 5 times! PS: Bryan worked with dandelion! The Volt brothers are freaking awesome!
4 weeks in, the Top Chef contestants stand as follows in my books: The Best Kevin Michael V Bryan (the brothers are killing it this season-they’re sure to face off in the finale) The Worst Michael I Jen (amazing chef, cannot stand her- also, the only really notable woman) Ashley The Others Eli & Ash […]
One of my favourite reality shows, Top Chef, finally has a premiere date set. The new season starts August 26th on Bravo and is set in Las Vegas. Returning faces include amazing host/judge Padma Lakshmi, iconic head judge Tom Colicchio and fan favourite Gail Simmons. Unfortunately, obnoxious new judge Toby Young will also be making […]
With only 2 wins in the entire season, Hosea Rosenberg took the top title in last night’s Top Chef finale. All I have to say is… typical. More often than not, the person who wins whatever reality show you happen to be watching is one of the most mediocre of the lot. Much credit for his […]
Salty celery was the downfall of my favourite chef this week on Top Chef. Up against the Hosea the mediocre and Leah, who is not only horribly unpleasant but also can’t seem to cook anything well, Jamie was sent home because her celery over-reduced and was left too salty. Worst decision ever! Padma and Tom […]
