Had it with the Food Channel...

So what did you all think of the Top Chef finale?

It's funny how little we knew some of the chefs - it was "oh, yeah, her!" and I bet they were all relieved to not pick Robin out of the knife block!

Out of the two brothers, I thought Bryan should have won - I think Michael is an elitist at best. However, given the choice of the three, I really thought Kevin was more inventive. I hated Michael's comment that Kevin "cooks what I cook on my day off" - arrogant SOB.

I watched part one of the finale.

I was not upset that the gal was voted off, she had a strange vibe about her.

Tom C said that this year's finalists were top of the line, that this was the best season, talent wise.

You're right, Richard, Jennifer was a bit off. She was talented, but as the competition went on, something just wasn't right.

I just watched part II of the finale and am glad that Brian lost.

Micheal seemed to be the more down to earth brother.

What was the problem with Kevin and Preeti????

The edited out any interaction between the both of them and I wondered if maybe Kevin's 'eye for detail' may have sunk him?

I noticed K complained about her speed and the number of ingredients she dealt with. He made it clear that the squash had to be perfect, so maybe being perfect cost him the competition?

There is a certain level of perfection that demands you sacrifice speed to get the end result-I think he may not have trusted her to perform up to his standards!

Chef Academy starts an hour earlier.

I thought I was not going to like this show, but I like the idea of giving the contestants three chances before they get tossed.

A little contestant salad. . .?

Dude,
LOL. You are lucky my mouth was empty.
