Well, I was mostly right, but I didn't see the winner coming.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

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.

Because books.
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

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.

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.

I'ma have to get back to Frontera one of these days soon. (Topo is for when I'm feeling more flush.)
You can't wrap your head around a lady beating you at shucking clams? Life will be tough for you.
Also loved the guy who immediately asked Jen if she was the pastry chef when she said what restaurant she came from. I really, really don't need a season of sexist douchbaggery.

Um, her mispronunciation of "ceviche" is driving me BATTY. I think I'm going to scream.
This. I liked Jen and I hope she does well, but this drove me nuts.
Also, I would like to sign on for the Wolfgang Puck fan club. He was an awesome guest judge. And Colicchio's disbelieving "You just threw a donut. . ." That was hi-larious.
I'm also kind of rooting for the chef from PR who wanted to make chicharrones. He seems kind of great, so I hope he recovers from the first round misstep. (Chicharrones are normally pork, no? I'm not sure, but that's what I thought)
