"Episode 4 Boulud Bayou"
LAST EDITED ON 09-09-09 AT 11:50 PM (EST)

I think I'm the only one here so I'll start the thread and try a recap.

Tonight Top Chef goes a little Iron chef as they make the contestants use a secret ingredient in the Quickfire: Snails! To top it off, they have to serve it to Daniel Boulud. And the twist-the loser goes home! Ashely, Jesse and Robin are the bottom, and they had to cook off with an amuse bouche. Big surprise, Jesse goes home. Kevin wins with candied bacon jelly (wow, everything is better with bacon) and gets a special treat to be revealed later.

Elimination challenge. They will be cooking in pairs for some of the greatest french chefs in the world in Joel Robuchon's restaurant. Everyone is quaking in their boots except Kevin, who doesn't have to cook, he gets to sit and eat with the pantheon. To quote Zoe, "I die." Draw knives, classic french sauces and proteins, pair off with what you think goes together. Jen goes with Mike V-rabbit and a sauce I can't pronounce, let alone spell. Mike I goes with Brian V- trout and Bernaise. Right away, you know who the top teams are. Brian V wins for his elegant, simple and perfectly cooked trout. Ashley and Mattin are in the bottom-seems to be due to Mattin's inability to blend ashely's ideas into his french training. Other bottom team are Ash and Hector. Hector butchers the cooking and cutting of his Chateau, has to pack his knives and go.

As an aside at the house, it is Mattin's 29th Bday, there's cake smashing, pushing in pools and hot-tubbing.

Thoughts, I pity anyone who has to work with Robin, talk about ADD. The brothers, Jen and Kevin are phenomenal. I can't wait to see what they continue to do each week. Mike I is the only one with an obvious ego problem at this point, I'm sure the editors are having a heyday with his soundbites. After axing 4 women, they finally send one of the men packing. I'm really looking forward to every Wednesday now!

ETA a few names and events I missed the first time around.

What a fun episode. My mom used to make the most delicious snails - stuff them in the shell, jam in loads of very garlicky butter, bake and dump the whole mess on sliced baguette. So glad Kevin won the quickfire.

The French food pairings were really interesting. It was obvious who the top and bottom teams were going to be while they were cooking. I hope Jen wins the whole thing and that she's in the F4 w/ the bros and Kevin. Mike I's ego is greater than his talent. I was kind of hoping that Ashley would go home. She is negative about most everything.

Great re-cap and kudos to you on your speeling .
All of it was Greek French to me!

Personally I'm ready for Ashley to go. She is a complainer; and I just don't think she has the skills that the others do.

I would like to have seen more of Jessee's cooking, BUT I'm glad I don't have to look at her lip ring anymore. Facial jewelry (except earrings) just make me cringe, I can't help it.

You nailed the top chefs; the brothers, Jenn, Kevin. and the attitude dude, Mike. No one else is really standing out at this time.

This is one of my favorite shows. Their choice of who wins and who is cut each week make sense to me. Their first elimination challenge was very fair: they did not cut anyone for not preparing a good snail dish. They gave the bottom three a second chance to survive. The loser had a history of performing poorly week after week. I was happy to see her go. The weekly winners also received valuable experiences, such as a meal with some of the best chefs in the world.

My ideal final four: The Brothers, The Guy Who Looks Like Yukon Cornelius From The Rudolph Special, and Jenn.



Can I be Padma in my next life? If I'm really, really good?

So THAT's why I like him so much. I'll never be able to watch him again with out desperately wanting to hear him say, "Bumbles bounce!"

I keep waiting for him to taste something and do that little tongue-smacky thing that Yukon did, to tell if gold is at the end of his pick.
