Love at first site. Okay, maybe love-at-five-minutes in to season two of “Top Chef.” That’s when we first caught a glimpse of Josie. Punky-hair cut, cool grin, infectious laugh, and crazy cargo pants.

Then last night, she fell. Actually, she was axed by the judges along with Marissa, which sucked. We liked Josie and thought she had awesome chops: serious Top Chef material, and a cool lesbian. And if you watch her exit interviews on Bravotv.com, her best line is that she's "VIP Only" no matter what she does, which we think is a perfectly fun-funky way of say: Always the Best!

We could ask for her home number. And we got her work number. Close enough. Josie picked up the phone and continued to make us laugh for an hour. If this interview had sound effects: imagine a laugh track.

Where are you? And is that Spanish I just heard you speaking?

Yeah, and I’m at work, sort of. I’m assisting in the opening of a Mexican restaurant in Fort Green (Brooklyn). The owners brought me in to systemize the kitchen. The restaurant’s called Bonito. I’m really working just as a consultant. The chef will be Maria Rizzo.

What about the Spanish? That didn’t sound like kitchen Spanish.
