Who Needs Tomorrow?

December 04, 2008

When you’ve got Today! Okay, seriously, we never wake up that early, but we’re stoked for Ariane to win this one and to get some much needed confidence and positivity. She’s kind of scrappy, and boo to anyone who says she did something too easy, we say she did something smart and some other people overestimated their abilities. But, as usual, we’re getting ahead of ourselves, let’s go back to the beginning.

Alex reads a letter that Richard left behind to Jamie and Carla and they all cry. Geeze, everyone is seriously emotional this season.

Jamie’s the last remaining member of Team Rainbow and she’s fine with that. To be honest, we’re fine with that too. The smore was ridiculous. Not that we don’t wish there were more gays around for longer. We do, but we also want them to be smooth-cookin’ gays.

Rocco diSpirito is not a real Italian but close, according to Fabio.

When we realize it’s a breakfast challenge, we’re stoked, because we love breakfast a lot. What?! Jamie says she doesn’t like breakfast. Seriously, girl, try to stay in our good graces.

So the Quickfire is a breakfast amuse bouche and Rocco says use bacon, please.

Daniel Radcliffe on Being Naked

December 02, 2008

Remember when your favorite boy wizard was on Inside the Actor's Studio? And he talked about being naked on stage? Oh you didn't see it? Your welcome.

One Gay Left

November 27, 2008

Team Rainbow's not a team anymore, it's just a lone, San Francisco lesbian. Ah well. It was fun while it lasted. Let's start this Foo foodie episode from the beginning.

Jeff is nicknamed Don Johnson by Richard. Also Richard thinks Leah has a nice rack. Is that appropriate because he's gay? He really reminds us of some skeezy gay guys we have known.

Melissa’s bangs are so weird. Grant Achatz – molecular gastronomist shows up to school them in the Quickfire.

Padma thinks a chef needs to learn how to roll with the punches.

They have to remake a Top Chef Cookbook recipe for the Quickfire. Then half way through Padma comes in and yells stop – we want soup instead. Ha, ha, that's a good one.

Carla feels like MacGuyver when it comes to soup. Jaime could make soup everyday for the rest of her life.

Chef Thanksgivings

November 26, 2008

Here's what some of your favorite Top Chefs (i.e. Stephanie, Richard, Dale, LeAnne) are doing for Thanksgiving.

Jill Fell Down

This episode was one of those ones where you think, oh geeze, these people suck. Was it the pressure of cooking for their harshest critics? Or at Tom’s restaurant? The hot dog quickfire was more inspiring than the elimination. But let’s go back to the beginning.

Richard is sad about the breakup of Team Rainbow. We should be too, but we’re glad that Team Rainbow now consists of two experienced chefs. In fact, Jaime kicked ass this week.

Fabio thinks this is a game of Super Mario Brothers – he’s going to take home the princess. Ummm…

The Quickfire – a dish that New Yorkers spend over a hundred million dollars a year consuming. Our first two guesses were bagels and pizza, but no, it’s hot dogs!

Both Euros are doing panini dogs. We’ve always thought of panini’s as faux-European café food.

One Gay Down

November 13, 2008

Yeah yeah yeah, we’re so excited! And what a powerhouse premier episode this was. They seriously tossed these chefs directly into the fire with that Quickfire. And the elimination was a great idea – but how ridiculous that some chefs were unfamiliar with cuisines like Italian or Chinese. Anyhow, let’s start from the beginning and get to know some of these many, many chefs.

Carla’s so tall with eyes that are always wide open. She’s kinda weird, hence we automatically like her.

Richard’s inner queen wants to know what Padma is wearing! So he’s kind of bearish on the outside, queeny on the inside.

The Quickfire will also be an elimination! OMG! Just kidding we already knew that because of the preview. But it’s still totally intense.

Top Chef New York starts tomorrow at 10/9 central! This is the fifth season of awesome cooking drama and we’re stoked! Will the contestants be as captivating/irritating as last season? Well you can get a sneak peek of the chefs here. You know Bravo also hooks you up with recipes, quizzes and all that other paraphernalia. Speaking of extras, this season there’s also a game you can play as you watch. Think of it as fantasy football for foodies. Learn more and sign up here.

Okay, with all that business out of the way, let’s get down to our real interests. Who are we into so far? We’re totally riding blind with these judgments. We just watched their 60 second bios and made up our minds based solely on that. Of course, we reserve the right to change our minds later, but it will be interesting to see who lives up to our expectations.
