You remember Marcel Vigneron, that tiny hair-sculpting man-child from Top Chef. Here’s a reminder in the form of a Youtube mash-up. Season 2 winner Ilan sums up the other contestants feelings toward Marcel. Ah, to pee on Marcel. Anyways, according to sources, Marcel will be hosting a cooking show on Syfy Network (formally the Sci [...]

In a bit of an upset, Michael Voltaggio, originally from Frederick, Maryland, has won Season 6 of Top Chef.  Despite my absolute certain belief that Kevin would win, the judges went a different direction, asserting that Kevin had, “an off night.” Congrats to Michael, both for an amazing job with his cooking and for the [...]

Serious Eats has a nice preview up of tonights Top Chef Finale that I recommend you go check out.  They think Stefan has the best odds of winning, at 2-1, with Carla at 3-1 and Hosea at 5-1.  As far as odds setting goes, I think that’s dead on, which is why I’ve posted the [...]

I love soda. I drink almost exclusively diet soda though, because if I drank as much regular soda as I’d like, I’d probably be a giant fat ass. But let’s be honest, diet soda tastes shitty.  Yeah, Coke Zero is decent, as is Diet Dr. Pepper, but we all know it’s a half-assed substitute for [...]
