Eels ? That Look You Give That Guy, featuring Padma from Top Chef [New Vide
2009-09-23 04:19:00 We haven’t written a review of the new Eels album, Hombre Lobo, and I’m not sure why not. I own it. I like it.

“He Might Be a Unicorn” (Top Chef, s06, e04)
2009-09-12 19:27:00 Each season of Top Chef has the episode to weed out the chefs without the French culinary training. This was as Frenchy as French could French. It was Maurice Chevalier sitting on a wheel of brie drinking Côtes du Rhône reading Victor Hugo with Pepé le Pew on the television. This is one of those areas ...

Thoughts on Top Chef (Season 6, Ep. 1-3)
2009-09-05 05:02:00 I’m keeping up with Top Chef through iTunes, and it’s been way past time to throw in some armchair commentary–just to add to the gaggle of food bloggers already doing so. Do I need to say that there will be spoilers in this? Just stop reading if you haven’t seen the first three episodes of season six yet. Episode 1: Sin City Vice The first episode wasn’t as high pressure as season five’s opening round in New York, where someone was sent home almost right off the plane, before entering the kitchen. Instead, being Las Vegas, it was high stakes. They’ve introduced large cash prizes on top of the usual immunity for winning the quick fire round at the beginning of the show. I’m a fan of the quick fire challenge because I always speculate on what I would do if in that situation. They’ve been getting more difficult each season, but the caliber of chefs has been increasing also. There are always those clues in the first five...
Want to dine with Top Chef Stephanie Izard? Here's a clue
2009-08-27 22:06:00 @redeyechicago and Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard are cooking up something using Twitter that I promise will make your mouth water.Since winning the 4th Season of Top Chef, Izard has been working on her new restaurant called the Drunken Goat.Although the doors don't open until early 2010, Izard is giving fans a way to get a sneak peek. She's hosting "The Wandering Goat Dinner Parties," which are six different cooking events at secret locations. Tickets for the first event sold out in less than 10 minutes, and tickets for the second one (which went on sale earlier today) sold out in a 90 seconds. Yes, a minute-and-a-half! The next event takes place next Wednesday (Sept. 2) and will feature pork from Allen...

Top Chef: Lisa Wants Kudos
2008-06-05 23:33:00 Previously - Annoying Spike shouldn't have used frozen scallops. He's out. We're down to four and it's part one of the season finale! Puerto Rico! Welcome to Puerto Rico! Why are they here? Is Puerto Rico known for neurotic chefs? Stephanie has been traveling for six months in Thaliand and Cambodia. First off - why? Secondly - did she make a wrong turn somewhere? Jesus, buy a map. She meets up with Antonia, who has opened a restaurant. Her daughter is getting used to Mommy not loving her anymore. She didn't say that but let's be real - she's gone six nights of the week. Here's Richard who lost some weight and then made the faux-hawk longer. He looks...off, somehow. He still has the moobs, though. Ok, he's still cute but in a smaller way. Richard takes a moment to let us know that he likes Antonia and Stephanie but is fully aware that America hates Lisa. I gather he does, too. And he always seemed like a nice guy. Lisa chopped all her hair off. She looks like Dykey Dykep...

It’s hard to tell.We open with Andrew…or is it Spike? I still can’t tell the difference. They’re showing Steph a bit. Richard says he’s tired. Spike says Dale’s a little bitch. Didn’t he say that last week?Dale says it’s all too dramatic and emotional. Andrew says everyone is beat down but him.Quickfire Challenge. They all look awfully exhausted after being up all day and night for last week’s wedding challenge.Season 2 finalist Sam Talbot is the guest judge. Antonia thinks he’s tall dark and handsome. Each to her own. The challenge is to “put the sexy back in the salad.” Okay, maybe it’s SAM that should leave the island.

Which Top Chef Wedding Buffet Was Worse? Hard To Judge

What could THAT mean?The Quickfire challenge begins. Tom is there, which the chefs are curious about. The ante is being upped, Padma says and the winner doesn’t get immunity this week, just an advantage in the Elimination Challenge.They’re bringing back an all time favorite challenge - the relay race, which “cheerful” Tom particularly likes. They divide into 2 teams: Stephanie, Antonia, Richard and Andrew. And Dale, Nikki, Spike and Lisa. I remember that relay race with Hung going through those chickens like they were tissue paper. So does Stephanie.They don’t have long to figure out who is going to do what. The tasks: Cutting oranges into pithed and peeled “supremes”, preparing artichoke hearts and leaving the stem on (after peeling it), filleting a huge ugly monkfish, and making mayonnaise by hand.Dale is completely fed up with Nikk...

Top Chef - Bad Cooking and Disquieting Camera Shots
2008-05-02 03:49:00 Jen got sent home in last week’s improv episode. This week's show starts with Stephanie getting dressed and, EWW, it looks like she’s putting on a chef’s jacket with tons of blood on it. Oops, no, it was just a shadow. How about better lighting?? She’s amazed she’s still there.Now this really is Ewww. We see Mark (is that his name, the New Zealander? or is he South African?) brushing his teeth and his pasty white back and some hideous tattoo on his left arm. He also has an unattractively haired chest and belly. C’mon this is a cooking show! OMG, now he’s shaving! Can we please just leave his grooming to himself? This is gross. Finally, they assemble and leave for the Top Chef kitchen.Wait a minute! Hold your horses! This week I’m going to learn from past editing clues. The people they show in the beginning have an outsized role in that particular week’s show.Could it be that Mark goes home OR could it be that he’s the winner? Okay I’m taking a stand here…Aft...

We'll see about that! Chefs ready themselves in the morning. Manuel and Richard are cutesy in the morning. Jennifer Beasty talks about touching Zoi. Sexy. Spike is ready for one of the gals to go, because he thinks they have an advantage because they're scissor sisters. Dummy. Padma rolls up with a guest judge. She says that if the chefs don't know who he is, they need to leave the kitchen now. The chefs have no clue who he is but I don't see anyone leaving. The chef is Daniel Boulud. Richard knows who he is. Score one for Daniel. They have to create a "beautiful vegetable plate" with "three techniques" to impress master French chef Daniel. Lesbian Lisa isn't feeling this, and she's not feeling shampoo either. Scrub that mop. More Top Chef, after the jump!

2008-03-21 19:44:00 Previously - God-fearing Nimma and her purple headband were sent home on account of her salty shrimp. Andrew's the biggest utensil (read: tool) in the kitchen. Stephanie's a little nervous. And Zoi with the terribly spelled name and Jennifer Beasty are Sapphic sisters in love. Thank you, readers, for giving me the scoop on Padma Lakshmi's scar. And you know what? J. Harvey has one, too! Look! Padma and I are soul sisters! I was in a bad car accident, too! I rolled a Dodge Caravan. That was the first one I rolled. Don't ask. My parents still won't speak to me. Well, my dad's deceased but when I talk to him aloud, he doesn't send a bird or anything from the afterlife to indicate that he's listening. He's still miffed about that Caravan. Plus, I rolled it while he was in it and was teaching me how to drive. Yeah. Then he had to finish teaching me after I got out of the hospital. He wasn't a huge fan of my driving after that. More Top Chef, after the jump!

But I killed them and hid the bodies. Anyway, please join me as a I recap Top Chef and details all the gourmet warring going on so that you don't even have to watch it! Padma Lakshi looks like she's going to be a handful. The show this year is based in Chicago. I need an Uno's Chicago Classic right now. There's crazies, chocolate, tantrums, a lot of fire (burn wards?), and bald hottie Tom Coleco. I know his name isn't spelled that way, but I'm going with it. He's a lusty chef! Ted Allen from "Queer Eye" is here to judge as well as some ho named Gail. Does Padma have some kind of scar on her arm? She probably did it in a self-inflicted rage. She's full of anger. The prizes aren't that hot. You get a Glad bag or something. It's all about the exposure on the TV. Who spells "Zoe" as "Zoi"? Ryan's from San Fran, and he's a ... |
