dabo 25344 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-27-08, 02:36 AM (EST) "Top Chef NY Ep 3" Hey, no fair making potatoes in the rain! Way no fair!. Rain is all like discombobulating or something. On the other hand, anyone who says the words "al dente potatoes", I gotta laugh. The Thanksgiving theme for this ep was timely, but seriously how to fit the FooFighters rock band into it was a stretch even if they do follow the show. I'm all confoosed like. It actually was a very challenging ep for the chefs. Had I been reduced to toaster ovens and microwaves for a holiday feast I'd have just said: "Screw it, we're going to Cracker Barrel." Still, though, al dente potatoes, how that guy didn't lose I don't know, there is almost nothing worse than undercooked potatoes. No ketchup even, Raw potato! Lesson learned, a nasty sweatened pumpkim/yam thingamabob beats a so lightly undercookjed potato. Coz a rock band said so. All that said, this week the doofusses were thrown into it, they hadn't the proper tools to work with, it was amusing but not impressive. So long, Richard, this week was all about, um.. not really seriously cooking, just not having the right tools.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Top Chef NY Ep 3" I watched it this am on the PVR (love zapping those commercials!). For the Quickfire Challenge, was it just me or did they not call out the bottom 3? I'm watching on Food Network in Canada so I was wondering if they cut something out for time. Also, in the past, hasn't the winning team still been called before Judge's Table to find out what worked and what didn't? I understand them wanting to test skills (toaster ovens and microwaves), but cooking outside? And how did they protect all that electric equipment in the rain?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Top Chef NY Ep 3" I'll have to agree with the previous poster that I noticed it too. They didn't call out the least liked chefs in the Quick Fire Challenge. They also didn't pick apart the winning team either. I just thought it was a rushly edited episode. It would have been interesting to find out who had the best and worse dishes on the winning team, since the teams were "supposedly" neck and neck.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Top Chef NY Ep 3" So are ya'll gonna laugh at me if I admit I'd never heard of the Foo Fighters? I thought at first they were saying Food Fighters. My name is Jbug and I'm a shopaholic (Agman is too)   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

KwietOne 1083 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 11-28-08, 08:17 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Top Chef NY Ep 3" You know...I just saw the episode again and noticed that we didn't see Eugene's, Alex, Hosea's, & Radhika's soup for the Quick Fire Challenge. They ARE still on the show, right?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

dabo 25344 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 11-29-08, 11:05 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Top Chef NY Ep 3" From Tom's blog: http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/season/5/blogs/index.php?blog=tom_colicchio&article=2008/11/foodie_fighters When I ... saw the rows of microwaves and toaster ovens, I thought, "They've got to make Thanksgiving dinner in this? This is horrible." ... I couldn't believe it. To make matters worse, the electricity kept cutting out. And then it began to rain. ... You might want to know that the Foo Fighters are really into food; bandleader Dave Grohl is an avid Top Chef watcher and was excited to be on the show. After their Grammy appearance last year, in fact, the band celebrated by dining at Craft LA. Well, duh, obviously going to Craft makes them experts! ... You'll note that there was no one winner this time around. Had there been, my vote would have gone to either Ariane or Eugene (though, of course, they were on the losing team, so never mind). Honestly, this read like a mail-it-in blog this week, at least we survived the holiday episode and the s'mores were truly awful.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

frodis 4442 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 12-03-08, 09:42 AM (EST) 6. "RE: Top Chef NY Ep 3" My favorite part of this episode was that not only did the losing team not get to go see the concert, but they had to clean up. Ha. Banana s'mores sounded kind of yucky to begin with, although the thought of pumpkin foam had me making an icky face, too. Arkie Autumn Art!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

ShellyMay 34 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 12-03-08, 03:53 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Top Chef NY Ep 3" I thought so too, but I just had a pumpkin creme brule at a local restaurant and it was surprisingly yummy. Guess it depends on how it's prepared.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
