What can I say. Hung won. I can’t really dispute the decision. He seems to be an extremely talented chef. Yeah, he acted arrogant and like a little snot a lot of the time, but, he’s, well, Hung. That’s just who he is. He backed it up 100% and proved that his boasts of being [...]

Well, Season 3 of Top Chef concludes tonight, and I stand-by my prediction that Casey will win. I think the allure of the first female winner will be too good for Bravo to pass up, although Hung is clearly the other contender (sorry Dale, don’t see it happening). In honor of the season finale, I [...]

Last night marked the exit of the contestant I had been rooting for, Brian Malarky. While I don’t regret pulling for him all season, Brian shows his arrogance by letting it fly in his post elimination interview, making no apologies for his performance, expressing befuddlement as to what could have gone wrong, and arguing he [...]

Well I don’t have a whole lot to say about Sara leaving. I predicted last week that she would be the next to go and I think many people knew it was inevitable. “Hi! I’m Sara. Everyone knew I was toast!” Sara only impressed once or twice, and she very easily could have been gone [...]

A couple of great interviews with CJ are out. One by Eater LA and the other by Grub Street. In his interview with Eater LA, CJ says he thinks Casey, Brian or Dale will win, but definitely not Hung. Then in his interview with Grub Street, he singles out both Brian and Hung as people [...]

Last week, I predicted Dale, then Sara, would be the next to go home. Well, I was wrong. I didn’t count on CJ serving disgustingly burnt broccoli broccolini. Who even likes broccoli brocolini? No one, that’s who. You could tell that stuff looked gross from the moment he took it out of the oven. I [...]

Well, I’ll admit it, Howie stuck around a lot longer than I initially expected. In the first 2 or 3 weeks, Howie was screw-up-mcgee, fumbling, making errors and producing generally bad dishes. Then somehow he summoned up his skills and won a couple in the middle rounds. Last night was back to the old Howie. [...]

But not the type of threesome you’re thinking of? Charlus over at Amuse-Biatch seems to think so. (In the interest of full disclosure, I would like to note I have been rooting for Brian since episode 2, and nothing about this blog post changes that). With a little investigative work, Amuse-Biatch noticed something interesting on [...]

In what the Top Chef website is calling “one of the biggest upsets of the season,” self-taught Chef Tre Wilcox, from Texas, was eliminated on Wednesday night. Early on, Tre seemed to be one of the most skilled chefs, taking victories in early challenges and seemingly always finishing near the top when he wasn’t winning. [...]
