There are more this season. But once you get past your hate for them, I think you will like it.

One strange thing about the show is the problem the chefs have seasoning the food. How can you be a chef and not know how to tell if something needs salt or something?

Please, elaborate. ;)

Also, this is one of my favorite shows. It is painfully obvious who the best chef on the show is, making it tough to gauge all the others. You can tell who sucks, in comparison, but the middle of the pack folks are all muddled up.

Stephanie's restaurant was seriously good. I emailed her and told her so recently.

Where is it? Chicago? She has seemed to come up short in the past few episodes. I think she has had some bad luck as far as teammates and requirements.

Yah, Chicago.I think she closed the restaurant to go on top chef. I heard through the grapevine, that she was running the whole thing by herself.

I agree with the teammate thing. I thought her asparagus dish looked tasty though.

I also can't believe the Aussie didn't get booted for the tailgate fiasco.

The tailgating one is the one I missed. I need to see it. I know who gets kicked off, I just want to see what happened. I need TiVO.

Watched the first episode. I cant remember thinking less of the talent pool since this show started. Not one stood out as a top flight chef in the first episode, though a couple contestants appear to be interesting (the guy from Hawaii for instance). This may be the season this whole celebrity chef thing jumps the shark.

On that note! I'm being interviewed for a BBC program called Market Kitchen next Monday. Itll be great. Ill be on my 15th straight day, having worked 9am to 11pm all of them. Im sure Itll be a bang up performance on my part!

Schutd, I liked the knife skill competition at the beginning. I also liked seeing JeanGeorge Vanwinklesnitzhel. His restaurant at Trumps in NYC is out of this world.

I will withhold judgment on the chefs competing.

But yeah, most celeb chefs are overrated if not named Batali.

Good luck! I would say "knock 'em dead", but in your profession, that probably won't land you the job.

How did everyone feel about this past weeks episode?

I cant believe how hard some of them have following directions in challenges

Jumped the shark this season. The ridiculous product placement. The BS about cooking healthy, so you cant use sugar, but heres a deep fryer and a can of diet Dr Pepper??? Terrible. Plus, this is hands down the worst talent pool. Hell, a 41 year old caterer from Jersey is yer most consistent cook right now. Speaks. Im in fo the rest of the season, but I sure aint happy about it.

If last nights dismissal didnt reek of "producer input" I don't know what does.
Boring jersey caterer sent packing so show can develop illicit affair of other twp team members???? Terrible.

This show is sucking this season, something awful.

I didn't even think to watch this last night. I might have kicked the habit.

How you mess up a Top Chef in NEW YORK CITY?

Ugh.

Thank goodness, she would win making boring stuff, then follow it up with deviled eggs.

Enough of the mashed cauliflower lies. It will never be as good as mashed potatoes. EVER!

And if that Tattoed Jamie makes scallops one more time....

I watched this last night. I take it all back. No way the dbags Hoser and Leah should have gotten away with that.

Jersey got gyped by the need for a reality show villian(s).

Boo!!1


It is a shame and a sin what those hack chefs did to those poor animals and their carcasses. Ugh.
