11.06 – Cream of the Cheese

November 10, 2013 23:14

Top Chef has a lot of sponsors. They’re everywhere from when you leave the GE Monogram kitchen, get in the Toyota Rav 4, and drive it to Whole Foods. But in this week’s episode, there’s also sponsorship oozing out of every single dish. That’s right, despite it being an emphasizing “farm to table” food, every […]

11.05 – Spoooooooky Rice Balls

November 06, 2013 23:13

Top Chef has never shied away from holidays, celebrities, and the occasional vegetarian meal. So why not do all three? Because the chefs will blow it, that’s why. Despite the fact that the show films during the summer, the crew decides to pretend it’s Halloween for Lea Michelle. She’s “throwing a costume party” and wants […]

11.04 – Vietnamese Discomfort Food

October 26, 2013 23:11

The question of the day: Is Vietnamese cooking a sexually transmitted skill? That’s what the chefs need to figure out because Travis (who said in episode one he only sleeps with Asians) is getting a chance to cook his favorite cuisine: Vietnamese.

11.03 – Commandeer The Palace

October 19, 2013 23:08

Top Chef New Orleans returns for a double elimination episode. That’s right, somebody’s going home in the Quick Fire AND the Elimination Challenge. It’s heartbreaking, but at least there aren’t so many chefs on my TV. For the Quick Fire, the chefs tackle four of Dana Cowin’s current pet peeves: bacon, eggs, kale, and smoke. […]

11.02 – What’s In Your Gumbo?

October 11, 2013 23:05

We return to swampy NOLA (official PYM decision!) for episode #2 of Top Chef 11. Who’s going home and who’s “fucking muy bueno” (to quote Tom)? For the Quick Fire everybody has to make a gumbo that represents their history (roux + a bunch of stuff that isn’t gumbo-like at all). As an added benefit, […]

11.01 Top Chef Returns!

October 04, 2013 23:03

Top Chef is back, and we’re here to give you all the amateur insights and discussion you could possibly want. 19 cheftestants dive into the swamp and only three come up smelling like roses. There’s no Quick Fire this week (because there are a bazillion chefs? That’s probably why.) so we spend most of our […]
