Dave,
I just wanted to know how you felt after seeing the judges not eliminating the chef who was unable to complete the challenge on time. Somewhat of Deja vu from last year when you were ultimately dismissed for doing the same thing.
Thank you for your time.

Dave,
I have to say that you were and still are my favorite contestant from the seasons so far. I was screaming at my tv when they sent you home because even with the missing dish, you were still the acrobats favorite! The finally would have been quite different if you had been there! Keep cooking!

Dave ... Wow, I was not happiest when Howie was allowed to stay, yet you were asked to leave after not completeing your dish.

I did not mind the crying at all. I only wish you had gone to the finals. Nonetheless, I can only hope you are doing well.

Best Wishes,
Ellen

Dave- You are super funny. I like your cooking style, some of the food you made looked and I'm sure tasted yummy. You have to be a guess judge on season 3 so that you can get them back for the throwdown shot. Happy cooking!!!

Hi Dave!
Great seeing you on the Season 1 vs. Season 2 challenge! You were one of my favorites from Season 1 and like other posts mention above - felt you were soooo cheated on the semi-final, especially since the "complete the task" rule seems to have changed (the "Howie" incident!) Anyway - hope all is well, are you currently at a restaurant?? Are you catering?

Hi Dave,
Is it just me or do they keep sending off the hot/cool dykes? Josie seemed to really have some skills and she was out her first time on the block and now Sandee!!!! What's up with that? I know you had your issues with Tiffani, but she was an excellent chef who I now wonder would have made it past the third week if she'd had butchy boy hair!!!

Dave,

I really want to visit where your cooking. I live out in the middle of no where near the Salton Sea in Southern California the nearest place to eat is 67 miles away.. but I know I'd travel hundreds of miles your to try your dishes. Keep on staying true to who you are and being a role model for those that are afraid to live in the lime light.

Blessings,
Imari

Hey Dave,

First off - s'up?

Next - I enjoyed the S-1 vs S-2 smackdown. What did you think of it? Did you participate against your will? Although you seemed miffed by helpful suggestions from Tiffany and Stephen regarding your scallop dish, and the critiques from the judges, you must acknowledge that your cooking will be judged on a daily basis by harsh critics as well (i.e. diners who eat at your restaurant.) So, honey, buck up and grow from it. Certainly, not all criticism is chastisement and may be meant to correct a problem (not create one). However, if you continue to be overly sensitive, well, that really is a shame.

Finally - I love your new look with darker hair and your continued peppy, ascerbic wit. But, please lose the attitude toward the waitstaff. They don't deserve to be treated like galley slaves from an "almost was"!

Good luck to you in your culinary future, pal!

Dear Dave, in Sweden we're just having a re-run of the first season (the second hasn't aired yet, I think). You should be been in the final two! I liked you and your cooking the most. I wish you all the best, and hope that you have or will have a restaurant of your own!

I hope you decide to post a blog soon-- you are insightful and entertaining. Otherwise, I hope the powers that be remove this link so I don't keep checking the bravo website in the hopes of hearing your take on the new season.

Dave my darling!

When I saw this seasons episode where the frog leg didn't make it to the plate, that should have been an immediate disqualification. But because it's TV and they think it's good ratings to mix it up and change the rules, they let him stay. I was beside myself screaming from the couch "You disqualified Dave for that $$**..." and the rest was scandalous!

I will always be your b**** b****.. much love to you my dear.
