11.06 – Cream of the Cheese
November 10, 2013 23:14Top 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 23:13Top 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

11.02 – What’s In Your Gumbo?
October 11, 2013 23:05We 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 23:03Top 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 […]
