Top Chef S7E2
Top Chef just started and this year it’s in DC. When I moved here, DC wasn’t really known for being a foodie town, but I can say over the past 2-3 years things have really ramped up. Usually every season, you’ll have 1 or 2 pretty strong DC chefs in the running. It’s also nice that I can visit their restaurants. TC is one of my favorite cooking shows (if not favorite show), so I was planning on doing some sort of weekly commentary on it here. Week 1 was pretty blah, but we did find this season’s “heel”, Angelo.
Episode 2:
This week (and last) showed us that there’s a lot of dumb people in this contest, namely Amanda. For the kid’s school lunches challenge, who even thinks of making sherry (fortified wine!) glazed chicken. That’s right, moron Amanda. (Side Note: Anyone who makes celery spears topped with a peanut butter mousse should be kicked off immediately regardless of immunity. How long did that seriously take, 10 WHOLE minutes?) Back to Amanda. Does everyone agree that she is a near match to Leah from Season 5? If she gets to the Top 5, we have serious problems.On this season:
I can’t wait to see the return of Tony Bourdain to the judging table, as well as the other DC chefs. It’s also nice seeing Gail being something other than a wet blanket. My quick money is on Ed & Kenny, but I should probably check with Just Cover Blog to find the real money lines before laying anything down.
