Wolfgang Puck is awesome- can we keep him? I hate, hate, hate Mike. Really? You can't wrap your head around a lady beating you at shucking clams? Life will be tough for you.

SEITAN REALLY?

Because books.

Yeah, he's a big UGH.

Wolfgang is wonderful.

And the brothers should be interesting.

Well, I was mostly right, but I didn't see the winner coming.

I wanted halibut lady to win so to rub Michael's nose in the fact that a GIRL BEAT HIM OMG.

The french dude's red ascot thing is strange and off-putting to me. Also, the weird chick that did the scallop-shrimp-overcomplicated-vice thing sounds EXACTLY like Mel from Flight of the Conchords.

Now to watch the Masters.

Masters is surprising me. Also making me really, really hungry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also, the weird chick that did the scallop-shrimp-overcomplicated-vice thing sounds EXACTLY like Mel from Flight of the Conchords.

Bwahaha! So true.

WOO HOO! BAYLESS!!!!!

I am now desperately sad that I am not eating mole right fucking now.

YAY!!! Rick Bayless!!! I'm sorry Chiarello beat Hubert by 1/2 a point though. His food did look awfully good, though.

The fact that Bayless has never been formally trained just blows me away! I hadn't realized that before.

Also, the weird chick that did the scallop-shrimp-overcomplicated-vice thing sounds EXACTLY like Mel from Flight of the Conchords.

OMG - you're right! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The worst part is, I don't think it's something he has on his menu regularly (given the complexity), so even if I ever get to Chicago I might never be able to get that. I could be wrong though - it might be one of those things you can keep over low heat once it's done.

I've had decent mole, but I've also had more that are so atrocious that it's not worth the risk of ordering if you don't know it's going to be good.

Franken,

I believe you and I have eaten at the same restaurants. Bad mole lives with you forever.
