An Oreo with lemon...c'mon. That was bad to look at. Even though the producers foreshadowed that the judges did not like what they saw in either restaraunt that dessert dish was the best laugh that I had all week. I would have rather had Mikey's cheesypoof and snickers any day. Better yet have you tried an Oatmeal Cream pie/macadamia nut sandwich? They should have just done that...it tastes wayy better.
Anyway, I enjoy this season of top chef just as much as last season. The only difference that I would make is to have you and Herold as guest judges on like half the episodes.
I also want to see someone hit on Padma. That would make for good t.v. I guess I am one of your first posts this week so I will say something controversial. Elia is not the best talent on the show. Not even close. She is the most likeable and that is why so many people love tuning in to her. Of the Chefs that remain, she and Marcel are the weakest links...by far.

Wow! Am I really 2nd here? Dave, your comments on the show cracked me up! What was the deal with Marcel's rap? I personally think he either looks like wolverine or the kid from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer that wanted to be a Dentist! Either way, I really enjoyed the first season's contestants much better. You guys put alot more heart and soul into what you were doing and even though I'm sure that there were times where you annoyed each other (I'm not your bitch...bitch!) you still remained professional.

I'm glad that you have recovered enough from whatever ailed you to be able to blog. I agree with you that the contestants this season are a disappointment as both chefs and as human beings. They fall far below the standard that you and your castmates set last year. It is unfortunate that Padma has to congratulate the winner with "( )you are the Top Chef". I don't think any of the remaining contestants have what it takes to be called a "Top Chef", and I am not talking just about culinary skills.

In response to a previous comment, I do not think Elia and Marcel are the weak links. Elia has tried different dishes and the judges have mostly seemed to enjoy them. I give Marcel credit because despite working in a hostile environment, he continues to stay in the game and do his best. I hope they battle it out in the finale. The other contestants have shown such poor character that I do not enjoy watching them at all.

Hello Dave, Comparing TC1 to TC2 is like comparing apples to oreos. Last year you guys and gals inspired my cooking, but this year I get so nausiated sometimes at their behavior I can barely microwave a frozen dinner, let alone eat it. The good news; I've lost a few pounds on the TC2 diet. I guess I keep watching to find some find of resolve and justice or at least see some karma in action. Like this week when the judges were onto Cliff's slow service in hopes the back would take the heat, like in the Holiday episode. I have to say, I do enjoy seeing a "players" actions backfire on him. Padma and I wanted him to go for that sabotaging stunt. I don't remember you guys ever stooping so low. I guess it gets worse next week. I noticed that Elia prepares alot of sweet/savory dishes which tells me she knows her flavor profiles better than the others who stick to sweet OR savory. They loved her beach waffle, her strawberries and bacon, and I could go on, but you get the the picture. She's my new fave. It keeps changing cuz they act like such (fill in blank). Just about any word will do. Thanks for your insights, esp. regarding resolve. I knew I was addicted, but now I know why. Thanks.

I agree with you Dave. I have been extremely disappointed in both the chefs and the food. There has yet to be a dish I feel the need to rush out and make. They also seem to be playing their arguments up for the camera. Bottom line, they seem to be worried more about petty differences than the food. At the beginning, I had high hopes for Sam, Ilan, and Cliff. They seemed to be extremely talented. Now, I'm not so sure. Honestly, watermelon and cheese, yuck! What about a good old cannoli or even a tiramisu. There is nothing wrong with staples of Italian, especially if you can execute it well. The diner had potential, but what about an apple pie for dessert, not something that looks like a five-year old experimented with oreos and lemon pudding! I happen to have a great recipe for an apple tart, it would have been a wonderful dessert that works into the diner concept. Anyway, can I still find your mac 'n cheese recipe online? I have been dying to make it and, stupid me, I forgot to print it off when I last saw it.

I’m so glad that someone has finally said what has been in my head since this show started. None of these guys are ½ the chefs that the losers were last year let alone the final four. From the very first show Harold showed a clear vision and I can still picture his fish. Even tiffany [what ever happened to her. We hear about Harold, Lee Ann and Dave but I thought since she was the runner up we might have heard a little] had a solid statement and continuity with her food. Sam is ok as are Ilan and Cliff but the rest of these guys are at best cook 2’s. Michael would be a prep cook in most of the kitchens I’ve been in. Elia may be an “assistant room chef” but if that translates to anything beyond cook 1 I’d be surprised. The term chef is given too easily these days. The guy who runs the line at Waffle House is not a chef. I have owned my own catering company for 7 years and I am still hesitant to call myself a chef in relation to the people I trained under. I run a kitchen, I design menus, my wedding cakes have been featured in local papers and I neither ask to be called a chef or would feel comfortable being called such. I can only hope that those remaining step up and show us something more. I can’t begin to imagine what the final dinner last year would have been if these guys had been cooking. The palates at that table were beyond intimidating and I haven’t seen any food yet that I would have dared serve there. I’ll keep watching because I do love the show, but as you said Dave, it’s more for the drama than the food at this point.

Agreed completely. I heart Michael. But overall these chefs aren't as dynamic as season 1. I wonder if perhaps if it would have changed if earlier cuts would have been different... (for example, Josie would have been interesting to follow) But they are sneaky and it isn't as fun to see episodes with no winners and no losers, especially when it becomes more about high school drama and less about amazing food, challenges and quickfires. but that's my two sense. take it or leave it.

The pettiness of most of the chef's or lack of talent by Elia nd Marcel makes me not even care who wins, which is rare for me, a reality show junkie! I wish they would fire the producer and get back to more cooking and less drama.

Hi Dave,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm a huge fan of yours. Last season was by far the best, with many thanks to you. I love your cooking style, it has so much soul. Viewers including myself sensed you cooked straight from the heart. I'm hoping to see more of you in the future. I believe you could carry your own show, you have the know how and charisma to pull it off. I'm alittle disappointed with these new contestants with the exception of Sam and Ilan. I loved Betty's spirit and some of her ideas, but compared to the other contestants she's not a Top Chef. Loved your blog in regards to Marcel. I was hoping Sam would knock his block off at the supply house. Maybe next week!

I definitely agree season 1 was better. But I was thinking just for fun . . .

Harold - Sam (same composure, Harold's way better though and sans nasty ponytail)
Lee Anne - Elia (talented AND nice!?)
Steven - Marcel (lack social skills, need to show others how classy they are)
Tiffany - Cliff (talented and mean)
Dave - Michael (dark horse, similar cooking concepts)
Miguel - Ilan (comic relief, Ilan has skills though)

Now I didnt spend hours analyzing these comparisons, I just thought it was kind of amusing . . . anyone agree?

By the way, I'll never forget that dessert you let Tiffany use - you and Harold were the winners in my book!

Hi Dave,
'Glad you are feeling better... That anecdotal comment from your childhoon made me cringe. It sounds like your babysitter was either Rebecca DeMornay or stupid. I am not a fan of Mayo either and use it sparingly. That is why when Mikey claimed he ate it straight from the "can", I found him more repulsive than before. (He is an unkempt slob who appeared half drunk most of the time...) It was his turn to go based on his witlessness (he "followed the list" faithfully without thinking on his own or generating much creative input or cooking skill to the team). However, he did show good sportsmanship when he left (even hugging Marcel). He actually seemed relieved to out of the "belly of the beast."

Actually, it was nice not to have a "...bitch, bitch" freak out as in S-1. People find that cute of you AND you won the big reward. I found it a sad way to express yourself (at judge's table AFTER being crowned winners). You were part of a team, after all. Conversely, a few weeks ago, when Marcel merely commented that he did not need leadership, he got bitched at by everybody! Just a different group dynamic, I guess.

It is a pity that Marcel did not take control of the group that he selected and be the leader of the pack. He did not seem to even try.

Neither restaurant of S-2 compared with S-1 in creativity, menu planning, food execution and hosting. You were exceptionally warmer than Stephen. But Stephen was warmer than the 2 robots this time around. That is really saying something of about Ilan and Cliff.

THAT IS IT! I could not put my finger on it. Too much Jerry Springer and not enough cooking. I think that is why I have not made the connections with the people on this season compared with the last. Remember, there are a lot of fans out there, particularly younger ones like my sons (ages 8 and 14), that are not interested in the back story and find the behavior of the folks on the show pretty awful. My oldest has become very interested in cooking and has considered it as a career because he was so impressed with the first seasons competetors talent and character. Lets hope this was just a little sophomore slip and we can get pull it together for next seaon. Less back story, less sponsor pimping (it has become a joke), no more asshole judges (Mr. Mohawk man needs to go).

You couldn't represent my views more accurately...I LOVED the first season, I could actually taste each dish in my mind and really feel the food, so to speak...This season it's nothing but interpersonal drama and REALLY nasty looking food.

Being a top chef requires such a mind-blowing combination of talents, and there isn't a single one of these contestants who is displaying even half of them. I can't even for the life of me come up with my vote for fan favorite just based on personality, because honestly, I don't like any of them.

Whoever wins season two, he or she will not deserve the title of Top Chef. You, LeeAnne and Stephen could wipe the floor with these guys...even Miguel is a better cook than any of these. Raw chicken? Foam? Kraft mayo? Bailey's? Nope.

And the product placement nonsense is TOTALLY out of control. Stop insulting our intelligence, lest we be driven back to the networks for our TV fix.

Very very disappointing.

Dave, I always enjoy your perspective and am glad you are feeling well enough to write. I hope Bravo knows what they are doing by airing maximum drama and minimum cooking and talent. I gage my interest in the show by how much I enjoy re-watching episodes. TC 2 is making me so uncomfortable that I hardly ever if all re-watch an episode which was not the case in TC 1. Truthfully I am feeling insulted by Bravo's decisions re: production of TC 2. This last episode was a waste for the chefs-I just can not imagine a more amazing opportunity to show-off your greatest cooking talents to millions of people and throwing it away-this was not the time for burgers, chips, worst watermellon ever and lemon oreo discs? Diners are famous for pies, which Elia in one episode stated she loved, and of all the hundreds from which to chose they chose a lemon oreo!!! What an amazing opportunity to literally blow. The integrity of the show is declining and I am glad you were on it when you were. I think this show may be changing the perspective people have of chefs, and not in a good way. I would never want such angry spiteful immature people cooking food for me, and now I wonder which before now I never did. I hope one day I can eat somewhere that you are cooking, I would be honored. At least I would know someone "genuine" was cooking my food.

Dave, you are so on the mark regarding this year’s Top Yawn. The first season had interesting contestants with interesting and diverse food backgrounds. It was also taped in San Francisco, a real city with an authentic food pedigree. LA and is to food what spandex is to fashion, synthetic and tasteless. Even if the contestants were interesting or talented the location sucks the taste out of anything they create.

I don’t care who wins this year. Whoever it is will not create a blip on the food horizon. TC 1’s top four and others from the season are and will continue to shine in the food world. If Bravo does plan a season 3 of TC they need to get their heads out of the oven, or on second thought, maybe keep them there and make sure the pilot light is out.

I have not been watching Top Chef as much this season so I dont know what happenned in the first two episodes, the very first episode. I just think maybe Sam and Elia (and maybe Cliff) have talent and interesting dishes. Marcel has interesting dishes, but probably needs more time for execution (I wanted to try that Cherry Gelee thing). Ilan seems focused on hating Marcel so I dont remember his dishes anymore.

I agree with viewers that Cliff was probably taking the safe road by being front of house (and purposely putting the heat on Elia and Marcel). But front of the house is actually alot harder than most people think. Watching that episode again, I realized that in the beginning all the customers flocked to Lalalina, the Italian restaurant. Since the Italian restaurant was full, everyone then (including the judges) went to the Diner all at the same time (actually the judges were the last table coming in to the Diner. At our restaurant, we call this slamming the waitress (or waiter). Giving all the customers at once to one server can only cause dissappointment to the last table walking in (this is what happenned because the judges were the last table to walk in right after). Of course, Cliff had an assistant (another waiter), but either that waiter was not proactive enough to greet "all customers" immediately or Cliff did not communicate or forsee the flocking in of everyone at the same time. In anycase, if either his assistant waiter had greeted the judges (or Cliff) himself immediately, they would not have been pissed off at him (Cliff mentioned he was preoccupied at serving out the dishes rather than greeting the last person walking in). I do feel he might be a better chef than he is a front of the house person. The only problem is that he seems to not communicate with his team (especially under pressure). Maybe in a more relaxed environment he communicates with his team members, but in a high pressure environment with limited time, he seems to feel superior to his fellow team members? (I would have liked to see Mia stay, and see how far she could have gone if she did not sacrafice herself). Anyhow, just wanted to say that "front of the house" is alot harder than it looks.

The lack of imagination for the two restaurants was sad. I think Elia is off base most of the time when it comes to creating food that people want--or enough of it (the holiday cocktail party). Why would I go to a diner? I live in New Jersey, the diner capital of the world, and I never go to one. I can make that stuff at home. What's the point of being Top Chef if you make stuff that anyone can make, such as roast chicken, mushroom soup, and hamburgers? There's nothing cutting edge about how she prepared these items either.

At least Marcel is attempting to do things that other people don't think of, albeit he overdoes the foams. At least I get what he is aiming at--essences of flavors. But he is not a leader, or he would have moved away from Elia's ideas.

The "...Bitch, Bitch" rant is very old for me. I didn't particularly care for it the first time around either. The overreaction on your part made little sense in light of the fact that your team won and you tried to put a teammate on the chopping block. It was a pathetic display...

This time around (re: "Restaurant Wars") the audience was spared a remake of this whine... It was one of the few plusses of the episode.

This season seems like we get to see moments of brilliance every couple of weeks and nothing but ridiculous team infighting contests most weeks. Maybe it isn't all the contestants fault...seems many are growing very frustrated with each other for things that have nothing to do with food.While there were "issues" on TC1, they seemed to be minimized by the talent. Not sure if this seasons chefs or format are to blame, probably a bit of both.

Getting down to the wire here. Previews show something going down on tomorrow night's episode.

They have been running mararathons of TC2 and the more I watch, the less fond I am of Ilan. I really liked him at first, thought maybe he was laid back and non-confrontational but now he is getting on my last nerve. He is wasting all his energy in getting everyone to gang up on Marcel instead of working on his culinary skills. Cliff's (thinks alot of himself personality) time is up too. I think the last 3 are going to be Sam, Ellia, and Marcel. I will say this cast of chefs are much more juvenile than any of you guys were..

While i do agree that the contestants last year were striving to be the best instead of just skating by this year, your personal attacks on padma and the people who cook(I don't call them chefs because they are not pressional enough to deserve that moniker)are very unnecessary.

I'd suspect you were hired to blog about this season, not to make constant attempts at reclaiming what your consider last season's glory. It all comes off so petty. Is that the image you're selling these days?

Last season I pegged you as smarter than your competitors took you for, and your showing proved that. And yet here you come off sounding like the not-quite-snappy-enough queen with way too-much-attitute, the Dave portrayed in the fights with Tiffani, not the Dave I enjoyed seeing in the kitchen.

You have insight into what these contestants are doing and could review these episodes with style AND snark (and although you don't taste their dishes, you could at least talk about what they're cooking for a change), but instead it all degrades into "me no like Padma" and "my season was better, damn it!"

Last season it seemed that all of you were primarily concerned with making great food as opposed to the contestants of TC2 who have been more concerned with flying under the radar. Preparing great tasting, perfectly plated food seems to be the least of their worries.
