Do you think we can get Top Chef: CSI (using only materials found at a crime scene, each week contestants....) or Top Chef: Law & Order: Courtroom Cafeteria

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because books.

I honestly would vote for them making a rule next season that no one can use scallops EVER.

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

Agreed - no scallops, no lamb.

Because books.

The lamb I don't mind so much because I can never get any up here, unless I go to a butcher and pay out the nose.

I'd also like to ban anything that starts with "water," such as tomato water, because ... it just doesn't sound appealing to me in any way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm just going to put out there that I will be highly annoyed if the Top Pastry Chefs are mostly men.

Not sure about the lamb, but after this season I'd add ceviche.
