"So, I've Been Avoiding Coming Here til I Caught Ep. 1."
LAST EDITED ON 06-15-07 AT 06:05 PM (EST)

Caught it last night (10:00 is just way past my bedtime).

What did we think of the opener?

I like a lot of the chefs and am glad to see there appears to be a high skill level in the field of contestants. I liked just watching Hung slice things. I was also pleased that they booted Suicide Son because it would have been painful to watch him continue; he was so over his head.

Hung and Tre appear to be strong right out of the gate. In fact, I almost wanted to eat that hideous "protein" stuff Hung made.

Where was Queer Eye Guy? I was looking forward to seeing him. I'm still not thrilled to see Gail back. Anthony B. was a fine/funny guest judge.

And? I honestly liked what Padma wore. As opposed to enjoying the WTF-ness of her usual sartorial choices.

You?


Am now watching three cooking shows. Continue to "enjoy" Hell's Kitchen but can we really even call it a cooking show? At least these people seem to, well, COOK.

Hiya Ging!

I did enjoy the show. The cast is much more polished then seasons past and worlds more talented than any "stunt-cast member" on Hell's Kitchen or Next Food Network Star.

Aside from Hung and Tre, who are both extremely talented guys, and most likely long-lasting chefs...I really believe a woman will win this season. The batch of ladies on this season are damn good.

I feel like I saw Ted already, but maybe that was because of the countless ad showcasing his mug that played during any one of the 6 times a day that the show airs.

And I LVOE Padme!
But what's with the ginormous scar she has on her arm? Have I just somehow missed it from last season or did something serious happen to her since then?
I'm actually quite shocked at it because I have a similar scar but try my hardest to cover it up most of the time. I guess I'm kinda proud of her.

This is one of my favorite shows. I'm always amazed at how quickly they can create something, without a lot of planning time. I know that they usually put the winning recipe on their website, but it always looks to complex for me to plow through. I love Anthony Bourdain's books and thought it was great when Howie quoted from one of them. I also love Anthony's show on the travel channel. Padma had the scar last season, but I never heard why. She is gorgeous. Her husband married way up, because he is not so attractive at all.

According to Padma's wikipedia entry, the scar is from a car accident when she was 14. This is the first year that I'd noticed it too, and was wondering about it.

Just to offer a little bit of a detail. When she was co-hosting at the View, they discussed the scar. It was, as mentioned before from the car accident, her arm basically saved her mom's life - it swung next to mom's head and it took a brunt of the hit. Because of that Padma is really proud of her scar and asks to airbrush it.

3. "Winners?"
The episode must have been 1:15 long. My DVR only recorded the last 15 minutes of an episode, then the first 45 minutes of a repeat. Must have missed the 0:45 to 1:00 part. So who were the best chefs, and who won? I saw the losers part.

http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/episodes/episode_301/index.php has the info

Tre and Hung were the two best. The main criticism of Hung was it was a bit too beige colorwise.
